The next chapter...

Scooby, one of the best ever songs from one of the best ever albums.

I'm sorry, flo, I have to pull you up on that. 'best ever albums'??

I give you.. The Pixies, Doolittle. And I quote :

"dum dum dum dum
Dum dum dum dum
(do do do doo, do do doo)
Debaser!"

I feel my point here is made.

Goodness tempers flaring ...must be half term! Was inducted today for volunteering at the Arts Centre....loads of opportunities to watch plays, live installations, films, music etc ...looking forwards to it!!

Hope Snape's having a lovely time.

Scrazy, that's two frogs closer to your prince, chalk them up to experience and move on to the next.

Scooby, at least you spotted something was up. I don't get why he didn't tell you, before going looking for someone else, but then I seem to have better manners than a lot of the men I come across on pof.

Bant, obviously I forgot to add the caveat 'IMHO'.

Bant....where were you Sunday morning at 4am when I needed extra help on the decks hmmm....snoring Ill bet!

Oh IYHO. That's cool then :)

Flipper- 2 frogs close to your prince.. Lovely as the sentiment is, it does make us sound like we're in a board game

And ike, I don't snore. I just relax REAALLY LOUDLY

Who was it that liked NIN? Good taste whoever it was.

Me.....dont think it was Voice's cuppa at 3am tho...

I married that one Bant - we texted and called for 3 months before we met and had never even seen a photo of each other. Obviously we're getting divorced now, like

sweet

So was this like an OD success story? Although not now obviously

Nc. See, my teeth aren't bad, and naturally my smile is close lipped, cheeky grin type. But now in feeling I have to be gurning at the camera showing all my teeth just to pass some kind of test

Better than that. He sent me a text message by accident, to the wrong number. I told him he had the wrong number, and by the tone I could tell it was a man, and flirted a bit, as you do. It went from there. We were together for 5 years, to be fair, and had a ds - it wasn't a TOTAL flash in the pan!

My lovely DP these days was a POF bloke We've been together nearly 2 years.

Bant - tis the horse test

Ike - lurve NIN, had to stop playing it in the car now the children are old enough to understand though, don't think 'I want to fuck you like an animal' is going to win me any parenting points

Middy - I was gutted in my head we were already practically married. Vowed never to have too long a period before meeting after that.

SS - Met my DH on FRD, not sure it exists anymore.

What's FRD Nc?

Lubey - have just caught up with the other thread. Have you got someone to support you irl my darling?

Yes and the other thing is music like NIN. in the car makes you drive like a loon...eyes flashing and teeth grinding flicking V's at other unsuspecting road users. I blame NIN for my Road Awareness course.

Friends Reunited Dating - don't know if still around, actually I don't know if Friends Reunited is still around since FB appeared.

But it feels like a board game, sometimes, Bant. Throw a dice, see if you get to climb up a ladder on a lovely date, or if you're going to slide down a snake and end up on a date with someone who looks like Frankenstein with no teeth.

I'm sure I'll feel more lively in a few weeks, but at the moment I'm glad I'm stuck on the sofa with the extra chocolatey digestives, even if it wasn't my choice to be here.

SS, not really apart from TT. I just don't trust anyone enough.

When I m/c before my mum came to 'look after me' but just sat in her dressing gown all day demanding tea and telling me that was probably my last chance 'at my age' (I was 28!!) So she can fuck off for a start.

Everyone else lives too far away, my best mates are in Cardiff and Surrey so not great.

I'm sorry flipper apparently I have a date on Wednesday (when I get back to England with my last residual match contact) and if I suggested ladders she'd run a mile. And snakes, she'd call the police.

Ok so my former plan of ethical dating has not worked, partly because I'm too busy, and partly because people are, to be honest, too narcissistically self obsessed to realise when they're acting out of order, and will always choose to blame other people.

So, the board game sounds interesting? Can't be snakes and ladders though. Winkers and blockers?
