Clive has never been married. He is, in fact a virgin depsite being 43. At school he was very good at PE and wanted to be a PE teacher but wasn't clever enough. Girls fancied him at school but he was too shy to do anything about it. After such a promising start he isn't sure what went wrong.

The highlight of his week is now waiting to catch glimpses of Bev when she comes for her Tai Chi class on a Tuesday. He has had 2 verbal warnings for "leering at women in the fitness classes". He was only looking a Bev, but he felt he couldn't admit that.

Clive desperately wants to butch up his appearance at bit in order to appeal to Bev and give himself the confidence to ask her out. For 3 months he has been trying to come up with a legitimate excuse to call at CSLogistics (he read it in her memebership profile) and manufacture a "Wow" I didn't know you worked here!" moment!

Stephen in Purchase Ledger (11.42.09) also likes Bev but he is 13 years younger than her and does not have the social skills to approach her.

He is friends with the bloke on here who goes to Games Workshop but I can't fnd the post!

Peggy 'sings' soprano in the local Choral society. Actually Peggy can no longer hit the high notes, but couldn't stand to become one of the Awful Altos. So mostly Peggy mimes. She sits by her friend Gwen, in the same seats every time. Gwen mimes too.

They are always the first to get to the chocolate biscuits at break time

MrsBadger · 19/07/2007 18:31

Gwen and Peggy wear their glasses on cords round their necks.
The students who sit behind them call them 'the puddings' because of their matching pageboy haircuts.

Blandmum · 19/07/2007 18:31

(were we once in the same choral soc?????)

Carnoodleusfudge · 19/07/2007 18:32

Gwen and Peggy go caravanning together but it is hard for Gwen because of Mum.

She is only ever known as Mum to all Gwen's family and friends. But Freshfields is a lovely care home and they don't skimp on the custard.

Iestyn lives with his mum and dad and spends all his free time playing interminable dungeons and dragons type games and their respective forums on the net. He's quite popular with his net buddies but none of them would ever be brave enough meet up irl. Bogden from lower down is one of them and is well-known for always going that little bit too far.

Blandmum · 19/07/2007 18:35

Derick sings tenor. He always wants to do 'The dream of Gerontius' but there aren't enough men. In his 'off bars' he fantisises about ravishing Gewn, but is worried that he would crush her glasses

Rafe would be two thirds of the way through his drama degree if he hadn't had to repeat the first year. He like to wear women's belts and air kisses his female friends, insisting he is so gay, but the thought of actual sex with an actual man gives him the heebie jeebies.

Instead, he likes to cop a feel of his podgy friend Hazel's tits and arse, hiding behind the irony, all the while harbouring a burning crush on her.

He can't ask her out though - she's 3 stone overweight and female - his career would be in tatters before it got off the ground.

Pippa is an enthusiastic whippet thin SAHM with three Boden kids. She is the envy of all the Mums at her childrens school. However what they don't know is that she is addicted to slimming pills because her husband, Rufus - a 'managemnet consultantt - has slept with most of the young PAs in his office in London.

Carnoodleusfudge · 19/07/2007 18:52

Bob is at a bit of a loose end to be honest. He finished decroating the hall last week and, well, the whole house is looking spick and span. People comment on it - "Oo you are keeping the house nice. Lindy would be so proud". But what else is he supposed to do?

It's been three years since Lindy, well, Lindy went. In the end it was her heart but until that year she had been as fit as a fiddle. They had so many plans and now he has nothing.

He has been brave. He can run up a rather good fish pie and at Christmas he had the neighbours in for a sherry. He enjoys visiting the family and that but it is the day to day that is hard to fill. People were very kind in the begining - inviting him to tea, some friends even invited him along to their sons house in the Dordogne - and very nice it was too. But it is the monotony of everyday when the whole world is rushing to do stuff and meet people. All he want is his Lindy back.

MrsBadger · 19/07/2007 18:52

Rafe fancies Freya as well.

He has an English degree and a TEFL qualification but is too laid back to get a proper job and is working in Nero because he gets to plug his iPod into the shop's sound system and play his own mixes.

He lives in a squalid flat in Clapham that his grandfather bought in the 1920s which would be worth a fortune now. He still has long hair and says 'man'.

In two years his uncle will offer him a share in his organic farming business and he will move to Wales to make sausages.

Oi... EscaperFrom... I'm a Hazel

MrsBadger · 19/07/2007 18:53

ah damn - teach me to write a long post about Rafe without refreshing first

Cam - Camilla to her mother - is in a bit of a fluster. Rufus someone or other has just come in to buy the catalogue for the English paintings sale next week and although he was a bit older he had a certain glint in his eye and no doubt in his wallet too if he is thinking of buying at that sale.

Cam thinks he looked as though he should be married but no wedding ring. She could ditch Olivier - the French thing no longer has the ring of mystery and glamour it once did and find someone to support her for a change.

Cam muses in this.

Roger is engaged in a boundary distpute with his neighbour over a foetid ditch and thinks his barrister will reduce his fee because the case is so interesting. He won't.

Caroline has highlighted hair, a gold bracelet and strong forearms.

PinkMartini · 19/07/2007 19:43

Cam is a bit wan from all the time spent cataloguing in the picture basement and too many late nights at Apt 195 on the King's Road with her flatmates Teula and Strawbs.

Carnoodleusfudge · 19/07/2007 19:44

Penny does catering for the well to do from her kitchen - which is tiny.

Her children are fed up with eating fish and chips whilst their mum whips up salmon en croute and pavlova for the folks in The Avenue
