    Just had a chat with a colleague about half an hour ago and her comments on her handbag (don't ask) sort of reminded me of a story when I was in university:

    In a group of my friends (secondary via one of them whom I know very well), there was a girl, let's call her May and a guy, let's call him Jimmy. They were a close knit bunch of pals from the same college.

    Throughout their time together, everybody else except May and Jimmy themselves, thought that the both of them seem to have 'something' sparking. Everybody agreed that there is some kind of understanding between the both of them that seems so natural that it's like they were already in a deeper relationship but just don't seem to know it. In short, they were like two hearts beating together, but just couldn't hear each other.

    So, throughout a period of time the girls started asking May questions indirectly about Jimmy without implying too much about their intentions, but eventually it dawned to her for the first to actually allow the idea of him being more than a friend into her head. May was a shy girl and she shrugged off the questions with embarrassment mixed with good humour.

    Some time later they managed to persuade her to actually venture beyond thinking about it. She was still apprehensive, so one of her clever girlfriend thought of an idea that won't be too direct and yet would actually say something about his person.

    May called him.

    "Hello... Jimmy".

    "Ah, yes May. You sound sick?".

    "Hmm... yeah, something like that. Can you... do me a favour? You're still at the college, right?".

    "Yeah".

    "On the way back, can you... buy me some Panadol?".

    "Panadol?".

    "The kind that only girls will eat... when they are ... 'sick'. The girls (their mutual friends) are not in".

    Pause.

    "Oo..k".

    They (May and her girlfriends) waited like for ages for him to come back and when he eventually did, Jimmy looked as if the muscles of his face had frozen - poker-faced, stiff, no expression, eyes downcast.

    He passed it to her, told her to rest and left.

    I can't comment on what happened later, except that they eventually got together after a month or so. ;)

    It's a trap request for girls to test how the guy will react if they find out that the girl is all alone and invited to visit. So they can asses the guy's character

    Just like this thread. Hanging half way as well to invite your direct response / reaction and expose your true personality.

    hahahaha

    i am confused a bit and still trying to figure out how from the buying of the special panadol lead to them being together a month after? is it really the issue of a girl indirectly inviting a guy when she's alone at home like jug8man said or is it the length that he would go to help her even though it is an embarassing thing to do, and most mysterious, what was the thing that colleague said about her handbag that reminds you of this particular story. hehehehehe. like so many hidden clues and yet no solution. :D or maybe i think too much. har har har.

    if the guy was embarrassed for buying the panadol........ then he must have no sister to bully him around to buy all the silly stuff.

    Aiyoh.... Last time I always kena (get) bully by my sisters man to do these kinda stuff! :D

    yeah, but that is for your sister, and you did mentioned you were bullied into doing it. but here, this guy jimmy, he could ask someone else to buy it and send the panadol to the girl. some guys wont help you know. not unless they really really have no other options. hehehehehehe......hopefully wilfred will shed some light on this matter. kih kih kih :)

    hmmm. maybe he lives nearby as well, so it was expected and rational for him to stop by and drop the medicine?

    drifit, back then, age 10, he is just a small naive cute little boy. who was running around and plays all sort of things. one day, he picked up the Yonex Carbonex 8(no the built in t-joint), swings around, play around..... :eek: and he immediately fall in love with badminton. couple of years later, they are married. drifit, badminton, pronounced husband & wife.... years later, he picked up tennis racquet. things go smoothly......:)
    till now, drifit has two wives, badminton & tennis. hope they will live happily ever after....;)

    It's rather conservative over here in Asia compared to Europe when it comes to matters concerning genitalia, but I suppose they don't market menstrual panadol in the UK & Ireland?

    Either way, the core of the story was about the girl being impressed enough with him for being able to carry out that favour for her, which may normally cause embarrassment if it were found out. You know, the term 'chinese whispers' ?

    It probably doesn't make sense nowadays but that's the way it was in this part of the world.

    Erm, that's exactly what happens when we travel approaching the speed of light (from the observer's view)...

    Anyway, put in some anecdotes of your own in here - this can't be the only one which is interesting from the days of youth...
