That's it really
I fancy a laugh
Following a conversation today...

Cheesiest pair I know paddle hands after dinner. It's kind of like sex but you only touch hands. It is utterly foul and really someone should say something but how could one put it?

Umm. My friend said to me today that her and her dp are too mature to have arguments. That made me bawk a bit (am screaming banshee with dp)!

Ha smurfgirl there is trouble brewing in that relationship
Another couple I know ring each other ten times a day - most odd I feel

She only sees him at weekends. I said wait until you live together, she said I lived with him for 4 weeks once and we never argued 'our relationship is too mature,' HAH.

I ring dp loads in the day, mostly to boss him around Grin

Can you elaborate further? Have I spent the last 20 years ignorant of some important technique Blush?

intergalacticwalrus · 14/03/2006 18:57

Yep, I ring DP loads in the day too, mainly to say things like "Whay didn't you do X before work" and "can you get some milk on the way hom,e" I admit it. I'm a nag!

Don't know any cheesy couples. Everyone I know has been together too long for cheesyness!

I used to work with someone who bought his girlfriend a single red rose every Friday because apparently that how you keep the romance in a relationship.

He was about 21 I think.

My sister said the Waitress gave her and her most recent partner (get me drift?) a drink on the house as they looked so in love they couldn't take their eyes off each other.

Little does he know, she chews them up and spits them out broken and confusedGrin

This was pretty nauseating:
when he got home after work (she was doing MPhil, he had job in City, she used to hang out in shared graduate house) no matter who else was in the room they would stare into each others eyes for ages, oblivious to everyone else. The rest of the house would remark 'Oh... private five minutes again!'
Except it kind of wasn't private, if you see what I mean, because they were doing it precisely because there were other people in the room.

I knew one pair who lived together in 'Chalky Farmy' and she was his little pixie and he was her big brave bear.

Sparklemagic · 14/03/2006 19:21

oh god, there should be a warning on this thread for those with weak stomachs. i feel really, really sick......yeurrrrgghhhhhh.

snafu · 14/03/2006 19:23

Me too, sparkle.

Although, pmsl at 'Chalky Farmy'. I used to live there with a boyfriend, although we didn't call it that. We called it 'Hampstead'. Grin

Oh lawd have just remembered that one half of the hand-paddling couple is "Pookie"...

I do think that repeated ringing to tell travel details or organise the household is VV different from "Hiiiii, how are you darling, what have you done in the past hour?" kind of ringing.

I think it's my eldest sister and her husband, however I think they are really sweet. They don't have children because they are so happy just the two of them. They call each other Princess and Gorilla. They are mid 40s and really quite besotted with one another. I think it's great (am quite jealous actually).

Ah but Franny this is the thread where we bitch about people we don't like. Wink

FrannythePeaEater · 14/03/2006 21:00

Erm well the other cheesiest couple I know was me and an ex Blush

I think it is vile to watch but secretly admire cheesers. At least they love each other and are happy.

Ah but do they? The Pookie half of the cheesiest admitted that she doesn't really love him. I find it all most weird.

(Sometimes it is lovely though.)

I knew a couple who would drink a bottle of champagne every Friday night to celebrate being married for another week.

Tommy · 15/03/2006 10:04

must admit, I find couples who have joint email addresses a bit cheesey - you know [email protected] - aren't they individuals at all? Are all emails for both of them? Sorry to offend - several of my friends and my brother have them but it still winds me up for some reason Wink

cod · 15/03/2006 10:05

My high-school girlfriend's parents had a huge oil painting of JFK wearing a really bright purple tie hung up in their lounge. it was awful.

DaddyCool · 15/03/2006 10:07

oh cod, that's horrific.

DaddyCool · 15/03/2006 10:14

i knew a couple where she called him 'pooky bear' and he called her his little 'kybo'.

this was a one way affection. A 'kybo' is a make-shift camping toilet made out of a branch some rope and a hole in the ground... which she was unaware of. she thought it sounded cute.

he dumped her after awhile.

TinyGang · 15/03/2006 10:18

My boss was very in touch with his feminine side and used to go and choose a nice cardi or whatever from M&S in his lunch break to take home to his wife. He knew which fabrics washed well and everything. Bleurrgh!

My dh wouldn't have a clue and that's just how I like itGrin

jac34 · 15/03/2006 10:23

DH just emailed me from work, for the second time today.Does that count?????
However,he only wanted to know if I'd posted the stuff he's sold on ebay and to tell me to get the pork chops out of the freezerSmile
