Evening all,... Thank you to whoever came up with this lovely shiney new thread title!! Grin

As for Fedora, well I looked and it certainly wasn't her I saw in the picture!! He did go to Italy though, I saw pictures on his camera of the Bay of Naples, and also a few video clips of boat trips. And that's when I saw one single picture of a young blonde who he called 'Fedora'. 'I took a picture of her as she's very attractive and I wanted to remember what she looked like'. Jeez, I had a bit of a go, but I left that one because I couldn't be arsed to have an argument. This was about 4 days before he left.

Anyway, onto other things. Had one of these evenings where I can't stop my brain from whirling over details from the last few months. Times when I believed him because it meant an easier life. Believing him meant not being called 'paranoid' or insecure' or told to 'grow up'. Believing him meant some peaceful times on my own, not having to put up with him stomping about, resenting the fact that he was here. Believing him the time he claimed he got a 4 1/2 hour train back from London one evening in November when he smelt of aftershave.

Arrrggghhh! I know there's nothing I can do to stop this churning, but I am SO annoyed at myself. There were signs, but I just hoped things would get better. He always complained of being under pressure at work, so I had faith that he was trying his best.

Am so tempted to contact his boss and let him know what he's being doing under the 'guise' of work. Obviously, I wouldn't do it, but it is so tempting,......

Need to remember revenge is a life well lived blah blah!! Confused

MysteriousHamster. Spot on.

It's because t's not a genuine continuity question. Not after the hundreds of goading and slippery posts beforehand. Then asking a 'continuity' question?

That's why we get our bristles up. Nothing to do with a 'quiche.'

RichTeaAreCrap · 04/09/2012 22:50

I am so glad that you agree. Crap biscuits, I just don't see the point in them.

BabylonPI · 04/09/2012 22:51

Chilli foreplay Hmm

Interesting idea - maybe I'll not suggest that to DH next time we get around to bedroom gymnastics which is likely to be in the next millennium at this rate BlushWink

lunar1 · 04/09/2012 22:51

whats a quiche Lurking?

Dramajustfollowsme · 04/09/2012 22:51

Why does it always kick off on a Tuesday?Confused LouP's life may seem far-fetched but that is sometimes how things are. My life over the last few years has been constant drama. (hence my mn name) I know some people have not believed it, initially. I'm also someone who can appear quite flippant but only because the emotions are so huge that if I were to give in I would just crumble.
Please think before posting.

LurkingAndLearningLovesCats · 04/09/2012 22:52

The word everyone else is using. Blush

BabylonPI · 04/09/2012 22:52

Ah but I forget, rich tea biscuits with chocolate (milk) on them are rather moreish.

I think all biscuits without a layer of chocolate or cream (preferably both) are pretty boring - except hobnobs - hobnobs are good Grin

lunar1 · 04/09/2012 22:53

ok then im lost, nothing new there.

MadBusLady · 04/09/2012 22:54

Quiche = clique. I've been quite mystified by the suggestion (made on other threads) that this thread was a clique. If it is, I can't have got my invite. I thought you just had to turn up and post when you had something useful to say, and hopefully if it was useful other people would appreciate it, and if it wasn't useful they would tell you so. AFAIK, this is how the internet works...

I was never any good at cliques at school, either.

RichTeaAreCrap · 04/09/2012 22:54

Thanks BabylonPI, you are now to blame for the 4 chocolate digenstives I am scoffing Grin

ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmmm · 04/09/2012 22:54

LOL @ alert the elders

My 2 pence worth.. i knew a lady who was expecting a baby only to find out her bloke had impregnated another .. he then left her for OW and brazenly flaunted her (and she seemed happy about it) in places where he knew my friend would be. Although devastated she chose to carry on with her pregnancy and the little boy is gorgeous and she is a wonderful loving mom to him. I hope you have a happy ending, but better will be to nail him with regards to maintenance and making sure he is a father to your baby. Made sure OW doesn't take out any frustrations in her behaviour towards your child. Thats if you choose to continue with the pregnancy.

On a whole other note, i used to be on here 3 years ago and porto gave very good if not sugarcoated, advice. Not asskissing, in any way, haven't read a lot of this thread to be honest, i may have missed some stuff, but advice is advice from all corners, its up to you if you choose to ultimately take it or leave it.

MadBusLady · 04/09/2012 22:54

Aye, you can't dunk hobnobs though. Rich Teas have the great merit of dunkability.

Rhinosaurus · 04/09/2012 22:55

I think, someone correct me if I am wrong, quiche is a play on the word "clique"?

ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmmm · 04/09/2012 22:56

And from what i have read : I too have the memory of a goldfish and can not recount last weeks events but can remember phone numbers off by heart, go figure Wink

lunar1 · 04/09/2012 22:56

Oh, thank you Mad! cant say iv'e ever done cliques, not about to start now!

BabylonPI · 04/09/2012 22:57

You're welcome RichTea - the only reason I'm not scoffing now is because I'm in bed and if I get up I just know I will see one of the big scary spiders lurking Sad

RichTeaAreCrap · 04/09/2012 22:58

Right, I am off to bed before I eat anymore!

BabylonPI · 04/09/2012 22:59

Really MadBusLady ??

Can you get more than one dunk from a rich tea before it goes soggy and drops off? And you have to nibble the edges before they fit in the cup Wink

Grin
Rhinosaurus · 04/09/2012 23:00

I think accusations of a clique come when a (usually unpleasant/rude/self important/suspicious*) person finds that their opinions are not agreed with by the majority, which is usually followed by tantrum like behaviour and wild accusations, and complaints of being forced outside the clique because they know they are right and everyone else is stupid, and are used to getting their own way

*delete as applicable

NotGeoffVader · 04/09/2012 23:00

Digestives are far better for dunking. You can get two or three dips out of them.

I am off to bed now too. Having gorged myself on home-made prune & chocolate cake with cream.

NoWayNoHow · 04/09/2012 23:00

If I didn't know what day of the week it was, I'd certainly be able to guess by this thread!!

Lou you inspired me to make a poor man's pizza for dinner - toast with tomato puree, ham, halved cherry tomatoes and grated cheese, shoved under the grill until bubbling.

I've also had 4 days of lovely Belgian food and beer but won't rub that part in

Hope you sleep well - see if you can investigate a short weekend away somewhere. It'll probably do you the world of good.

Rhinosaurus · 04/09/2012 23:02

stop talking about choccie!!!!

Can marmite be a condiment? You bloody chocolate cliquey types are ignoring me!!!!!!!

BabylonPI · 04/09/2012 23:03

I like marmots and use it for lots of things other spreading on toast, so yes I guess it is a condiment of sorts Grin

BabylonPI · 04/09/2012 23:03

Marmots not marmots Blush

BabylonPI · 04/09/2012 23:04

Aaaaaaarghh

MARMITE ffs!
