Ah Wisey I remember your fuck you heels when first deployed to great effect Grin

Wine do keep up. No monacle. Boat shoes are possibly appropirate in 40c as the alternative might be some sort of trainer sandal.

Grin circumsisions.

Nah I'm a therapist. Tends to be a bit of a conversation stopper and I don't know why but I don't really mind. Any way I'm going to say something vague to Wembley.

Kirstywirsty · 19/06/2013 21:25

Are fuck you heels fuck me heels with more attitude??

wisey the two phones rings alarm bells for me .. The auditor had two and gave me the number for the old Nokia when he had an iPhone .. He said it was for work Hmm

With socks.

Djangounhinged · 19/06/2013 21:27

Evening all Smile

What is this current televisual obsession with OD? The Apprentice tonight requires teams to create a dating website...

Safe to say, I wouldn't sign up to either of them.. And neither would Nick Hewer.

Djangounhinged · 19/06/2013 21:29

Ahahaha fuck me shoes with socks, I love that ideaGrin

I had 2 phones while my beloved iPhone was being replaced, there could be an innocent explanation...

akaWisey · 19/06/2013 21:32

The fuck you heels were originally bought for the purposes of gaining psychological advantage over ex in mediation.

They worked. His face was a picture as I looked down on it Grin.

Two phones, yes, a little perplexing. He's used both to text and phone me on and I've used both in return. I shall use my secret therapists gaze to see any sign of twuntdom.

Flipper924 · 19/06/2013 21:39

Desperate to know what Wisey does now!

There is a standard response when I tell people my job. It doesn't make me laugh any more than 'ooh, are you going to analyse me then?' used to when I was a psychology student.

"No, you nob. Why would I bother?"

Flipper924 · 19/06/2013 21:41

Whoops. Started typing then got distracted by my pint of gin.

akaWisey · 19/06/2013 21:43

psychotherapist flipper and that's exactly what I get asked over and over and over???..

There's no point telling 'em I'm not that flavour of therapist, the eyes just glaze over whilst they hastily try and edit everything they say Grin

KinNora · 19/06/2013 21:44

Funny you should say that Flipper just this evening I got the never-not-fricking-hilariously-sidesplitting 'do you glow in the dark ?' - not funny and showing a distressing lack of knowledge about Physics.

BillMasen · 19/06/2013 21:44

alittle. Equating taller with "best" is a little offensive yes.

akaWisey · 19/06/2013 21:48

Now I've done my roots I can't go to bed til my hair dries or I'll look like Sideshow Bob tomorrow.

Could walk down the co-op for a bottle of wine. Wembley has just said he'd drag me out for a nice glass of something chilled if he was here. Yup, still warming up nicely.

OhWesternWind · 19/06/2013 21:55

All quiet from Alpha today, no looking at profiles, no emailing. No texting from College Bloke. Is there a plague of finger injuries sweeping the male population of this country at the moment?

What did he say when you told him Wisey?

I'd be wary about two phones unless they live/work in an area with poor phone reception. I know quite a few people round here who have phones on different networks for that reason.

I haven't told him my job. I told him I work in the health service. Seems satisfied with that. If we meet I'll tell him then if he doesn't ask again beforehand.

akaWisey · 19/06/2013 22:06

Yup. My ex is a therapist too. Didn't stop the knobbish behaviour though.

Djangounhinged · 19/06/2013 22:07

OWW I'm happy to go with your theory on that, as I haven't heard from the nice bloke I spent all weekend messaging either...

I'm also going with the theory that he is just busy this week, and he does that compartmentalising thing so he hasn't thought about anything other than work since late Sunday evening...

Oh dear! Apprentice + red wine + boredom = slightly over-invested Django Confused

Pay no attention!

Hope Alpha emails tomorrow Wink

Flipper924 · 19/06/2013 22:08

And of both IRMER and IRR legislation, Nora. Shocking. Can you tell I've had my update recently?

Yes, Wisey, do tell, his response is important.

I have just chuckled out loud (and splurted gin) in the garden because auto correct replaced whatever I had mistyped for 'response' with 'reinsert'. His reinsert is probably also important, but not in this context.

akaWisey · 19/06/2013 22:10

Grin at flipper.

OK I'll tell but I need to wait for an opening??so that he can respond.

JulietteMontague · 19/06/2013 22:12

Bill they know not what they misseth out upon Wink.
