Where have all the fit, interesting and available men gone? Part 23

[Monty100]

These threads are finishing faster and faster!

As you were.

No, I haven't seen her and I had no trouble last night. I will be telling her when I see her.

If the teenagers gather tonight I will be sending Al out there, mind you he hates confrontation too, but I'm so not having it, if I have to deal with it myself I will. I'm very close to neighbours 3 doors away and I phoned her last night, when she came on the phone she goes 'and what's all that noise about every night' lol. But then they're older than me and have been suffering it, but I'm not prepared to. She said to her husband 'oh don't worry, Monty'll go out to them' lol or hmph, whichever way you want to take it. I can't believe people put up with it, it'll only get worse. .

I bet you're sorry you asked now lol.

I have a programme on about the miners' strike. JC, it just reminds me how much I hated Thatcher.

Might go and get a nice drink for myself.

thanks monty

wonder if he will find his match on here?

he seems nice enough, but even if i were single and in his age group, he isnt my type

he seems popular though!

monty, you could always go and have a word whilst casually dangling a baseball bat by your side (as you have been practising your swing of course)

then explain calmly and clearly, whilst tapping it against your leg, that you want them to stfu

You won't believe this but they've just turned up.

I rang neighbour first and asked her to calm me down, Al was saying, 'leave it until midnight'. Midnight? you must be joking, so on that note I was straight out there like a bat out of hell (lol). I said 'where exactly do you live?' 'oh down there' so I said 'well fuck off down there and give me peace'..... and they've gone .

No more Ms Niceguy .

Well, they're back. So, I phoned up the local police station, not expecting any help, just to ask for advice and they say they're sending somebody up. and oops and oh dear.

And, oh well.

I did try............

anytime

I haven't much faith in 'a car' being sent round, but if one comes, I so hope next door's dd is there, she is AWFUL.

I am really turning into the grumpy old woman that lives on the corner.

Lou - how was Jools?

I met him years ago at a Squeeze gig lolol.

omg it developed! sorry I suddenly ran out of stamina last night - well done monty, you def did the right thing and respect to you
did police turn up?
lou's baseball bat made me think of the 'Bear Jew' in Inglorious
Miner's strike, Thatcher - cyclical do you think? Had to ring CTC people and apart from waiting an age it was all, 'you'll be recorded, checked up on' etc - which is fine, goes without saying - but they used to be quite friendly! coincidence?
also pre-emptive union crackdowns
don't get me started!
Wonder if Billy has a tune about it ...

Hello

Grrr just coming in to vent, ex has just brough kids back and it was so lovely they were really happy and full of stories. Then after a few mins I get to hear all about how daddy met a woman whilst they were there who had a 4 year old son, and after the 1st night this woman was stopping in their caravan and according to dd1 who is nearly 7, they are in love and after just one day (her words) wtf! It does sound like they had a lovely time and it hasnt affected them badly but still this woman could have been anyone!

Hi all, am back from my hols and been lurking a bit this week.

Not been a good week for me. Ex got married on sat and on the same night I had a date with traveller, Who I really like and who announced that he had met a lovely woman who lives just round the corner who he is very keen on Grrrr...

Still wants to take me and the kids out though, but WTF?? I'm not sure I see the point in becoming just a stopgap date for when nothing better about. Guess its back to the drawing board on that one.

Of all the weekends when my self esteem really needed a boost this is the one. Still at least he is honest and he paid for dinner.

elasta, keeping his options open I reckon. Don't be a stop gap for him whatsoever. Bad timing but exe's wedding is over so you don't have to go through that one again (for a while at least).

Betty, he might have met someone special, only he can answer that one. Not great to hear it from DC's, just ask him about it, not a lot you can do. The DC's had a good time which is important.

Hi Eve, I agree with you there.

Think he might thinking of keeping me as a 'friend' just in case. He doesnt strike me as someone who doesnt have a lot of friends though. We have been out 4 times.

Each date lasted hours until we got chucked out of wherever we were, and he always paid and have also been on the phone for hours and hours between dates. I could write his life history i reckon. He did know about ex as he asked me how i felt about it. Guess I'm just not that special.

Well I wouldn't blame you for feeling confused, he sounds like a great date and very keen. But that fact that he told you about another women, whatever his reason, would be a red flag to me. Tell him to get on with it. Hope you are feeling OK.

jools was good thanks he said to say hello

Yep, am just going to let him be and get on with my life. Kids will be back from ex on Friday and we have a fun weekend planned.

hi Lou, glad you had a good time

betty do you think his ego has been suffering because you have moved on? pretty crass behaviour imo
ok she may be Marilyn Monroe but we all seem to worry ourselves silly about discretion and affecting the dc so how can he be so blatant?
I think he's doing it to wind you up
glad dc are so happy though
elasta so sorry about your weekend. I'd feel v odd about my ex getting married. I'd let traveller get on with this 'lovely woman' without providing any backup company too grrrr
she can't be all that special to him if he planning on taking other women out already, can she? wonder if she knows?

where's monty? do hope order has been restored

Bet she doesnt! Cant see him telling her he just had a night out with a girl he met on the internet. Can you!? Think I am going to do my dissapearing act

Actually, I take that back, he is so unusual he probably would tell her...

I think my exh will get married quite soon - don't know how I will feel but will prob roll eyes and in front of him too! I do remember when we were about to get married and he paraded me in front of his friends there was alot of surprise and rolling of eyes.

Betty would not be happy in that situation eg imagine if when I had gone on my hols the other week my mate and I had met men and invited them in from day 2. I think my exh would have rightly had something to say about that. As it was there was not a single fanciable man on our hol. It was not that sort of place

No eligible men on mine either, not that i was looking...........

Morning all

I've booked a day's leave as it looks like the stupid cat is going to have her kittens today . I've been awake since silly o'clock with her scratching around my bedroom looking for somewhere to give birth. She's in her little bed in the front room now, yikes!

Betty - I'm such an old cynic, you don't think dp and the woman 'already knew each other' do you? Well, at least the dc's still had a good time and it doesn't seem to have had any negative effect. They're very resilient at times.

Elasta - Hope you're feeling ok about ex, that can't be easy. Sorry about Traveller, but hey ho, get back out there?

Eve - are you better? Any word from the guy from the weekend? Do we have a name for him?

Ninah - 'a car' came round and had a word with them, all quiet last night.

I haven't heard back from Sponge so far.

Knickers - hi there, are you internet dating? Come on in, don't be shy.

Hello, SCL, Lou, ASBM and everybody hope all is well.

Betty, I had exactly the same thought as Monty, it wouldn't surprise me if it was a pre-arranged meet-up! (not that that's any better of course, very irresponsible)

Elasta, that's pants, I wonder if part of the attraction is that she lives so close to him- you are both so busy that you struggle to meet up, so maybe she's just the easier option?

Glad to see that things quietened down a bit Monty, hope it stays that way.

Hello and welcome Knickers!
