    incidently ……i only recently found out that ‘nonce’ is an abbreviation of ‘not on normal courtyard exercise’

    No it isn’t. The Oxford English Dictionary, while describing the word’s etymology as “Origin unknown”, states that it is “perhaps related to” nance and cites a quotation which claims the word was derived from nancy-boy (a derogatory term referring to effeminate or homosexual males). It also suggests that it may derive from the nonse, Lincolnshire dialect for “good-for-nothing fellow”.[4]

    Linguist Jonathon Green suggests the word derives from nonsense. He quotes a reference from 1970 citing “nonces” as being short for “nonsenses” and an additional citation from 1999

    I remember at uni, a mate pulled a suspiciously young looking girl at the local rock club. They actually ended up going out together for the long run, might even still be together for all I know but it gave us the memorable line “She’s definitely 16” long pause “more or less”

    Very dangerous ground. A friend of my brothers went out with a girl who was under 16 when I’d guess he was maybe around 20. (this is 20+ years ago so my memory a bit hazy). Her parents objected and Police became involved, he ended up doing time for it. **** up his life pretty badly.

    Minor update a you all seem quite so invested in this…

    Ended up chatting till late last night, turns out we have a fair amount in common so we went out for a quick spin this morning (sadly on the road, but better for chatting I suppose). We’ve agreed to meet up again after she’s back from skiing (which is another bonus that she skis!), at the moment it’s just cycling buddies but think we’re both possibly looking for more. :mrgreen:

    She’s also 17 but a year below her mate and almost exactly 4 years younger than me, which does feel a little odd but I’m pretty sure my parents were 19 and 37 when they met so probably just in my head!

    Plot twist, she’s a member on here too.

    Nope, or at least I’m pretty sure she’s not, although she does have quite an active pinkbike account but there isn’t anyone by the same name on here. 🙄 Also from her pinkbike account it looks like she’s probably more skilled than I will ever be.

    Although… I got chatting to her dad at the door and it turns out he got her into MTBing a few years ago before breaking his back and is still on here, although not very active, even so I will definitely be sparing with the details! 😯

    Update on the original story (that I heard whilst on the ride today), looks like she’s seen him for who he really is (the stupid idiot also has “in a relationship” on his facebook profile) and doesn’t want anything to do with him, I also get the impression that parents may have got involved but who knows.

    Just be careful what you post on a public forum, all it takes is for her to google your username and game over! Completely different situation but see The dumped before xmas thread for sh!t that happens!

    Hmmm… Middle aged mountainbiker who posts on here, 17 year old daughter and has broke his back. No way anyone would ever identify themselves from that.

    So… turns out she does frequent this forum, although uses a slightly different login and rarely/never posts, hence the lack of finding on my googlefu mission earlier. This resulted in an awkward phone call (I’m now at home) but we’ve both seen the funny side as she had been stalking me when she found this! Turns out using a similar skype name to STW username wasn’t a great idea when trying to stay hidden – note to self to get 2nd username for future use. 😉

    It seems that I had got the right impression re where we both stand on the relationship so it’s now going to be a bike date rather than bike ride in the new year 😀

    In case you were wondering this message has been pre-approved and we’ve also agreed its best to call it a day with adding everything to this post 🙄

    I’m feeling like the luckiest guy on the planet at the moment, but reading back through my posts I can see just how bad it could have turned out! Anyway I have a tonne of work I need to get on with if I want to have any chance of passing my degree so I should get on!

    EDIT: Just seen coyotes message, yes was rather stupid there and really should have changed a few details or just left that bit out altogether 😳

    Be nice OP ! 4 years is nothing at say 23 vs 27 and later but 17/21 is more significant. My parents have been married 56 years and met when 17 and 22 btw

    I met MrsIHN the First when she was 18 and I was 22. Worked out pretty well (well, for ten years at least).

    May I summarise?

    OP’s pal pulls a possibly appropriately aged lady.
    In stalking the age of said lady, OP has designs on first lady’s bessie.
    Turns out bessie pals father is STW forumite.
    OP continues to deliver more detail than needed on designs for Bessie.
    OP’s pal is dumped.

    Did I miss anything?

    Did make me chuckle this, reminds me of the years before I met my wife when me and my mates were often in the “is she over 16 camp?” When out clubbing in the late 90’s.

    I don’t think it’ll ever change as all sorts of girls under the age of 18 get into clubs and pubs and for an inebriated young chap it can be rather hard to tell, so I’d say that it’s the presumption she’s in the club so must be around 18 is often taken. In fact we used to call it a Renton moment so I got the OP straight away 😆

    Good work on the best mate btw

    I pulled the really hot bar maid from my regular a couple of months ago..

    she was 19…everyone of my mates egged me on to do it despite my objections

    Turned out shed had more partners than I’d had despite being half my age..

    Age is but a mumber..

    So, have I missed something here? Have we gone from “my mate’s shagging an underaged girl” to “now I’m shagging her” and “guess what, her Dad’s on this forum and will be delighted”?

    Bit of a twist, and “mate” is now definitely “acquaintance”, so something didn’t sit right with me so I re-read everything from the last 24 hours, it suddenly dawned on me that it’s the school holidays and why on earth would first lady (getting confusing so will keep to matts naming convension) be wearing her school uniform in the Christmas holidays?

    I confirmed with bessie that it is in fact Christmas holidays and she couldn’t work out why on earth would her mate be wearing her uniform. After a bit of a conversation it turns out that “acquaintance” hadn’t worn a “hat” and not checked with the first lady before plunging his sword, she had come round to teach him a lesson but got cold feet when coming round and I messaged her, trying to find an angle to get back at him but after setting me up with her bessie decided not to screw her over (thanks first lady 😉 ).

    Bessie and first lady have now decided that my acquaintance needs a proper lesson. We’ve ascertained that he doesn’t read this forum, him only knowing what I had read off to him and them having copied most of your advice onto an agony aunt Facebook page as the source. So it looks like the first lady is either going to go down the caught an std or I’m knocked up route, either that or reporting him to the uni for something but I’ve talked them out of that as that could get out of hand and official quickly.

    I’m as for the under a thumb comments, yep but not sure I care! This post is actually a request of bessie as apparently you are wise enough to know what’s the best thing to do!

    Also, before you ask, dad was actually the guy who suggested this plan to bessie/first lady after finding out what acquaintance had done. Seems that his idea was the std route as getting him to go get checked out wouldn’t be a bad idea anyway!

    Anyway I’m off to bed as have been on my phone/pc all day and this morning feels a month away.

    this thread is getting really f’d up..

    You are going to let 2 girls who you barely know scare the beejesus out of your mate to teach him a lesson..despite in reality hes done nothing that many early 20s guys wouldn’t do?

    And you are going along with it as you fancy your chances with her pal?

    As someone noted, this is like a jeremy Kyle episode..

    Any pics available for context?
