I've just got tickets to see flight of the conchords live. I am ridiculously happy.

Photoshop Gambit Man is still resolutely plugging away - he makes bespoke kitchen units, how bad is it that I find that quite attractive ? I think it's quite bad, I used to be rock 'n' roll you know, all is lost ...

Good news is that due to Showbiz's perfidy, I have acquired a new fountain pen.
Lost a load of orgasms, gained a pen.

ARGH!!!! Bant, where where? I adore the conchords and it's never even occurred to me that they would still be doing live stuff, just looked on their website and can only find gigs overseas? Is it in the UK? website please!!!!

I have no idea who t. he conchords are . Too old rather than too young, sadly

'the'

You're all right, I just hate having to send the text, particularly when there's nothing wrong with the guy. This seems to be a genuine case of 'its not you, it's me'.

I'm quite looking forward to tomorrow's nights date. The guy has good credentials this is my first 'first date' on a sat night in town. Usually I go for smart casual but I'm guna have to up my game. Unfortunately my legs are covered in bruised which rules a dress out!

Fab broken! What are you doing for it?

Is he new to ODing?

Guy for tomorrow night has just went down in my estimations with a bad bar suggestion

hey - it's one of the overseas ones, I'm going to be there for work and its just too good a coincidence to pass up

God Bant, I am so jealous! I've been gorging on YouTube clips of the Conchords for the last week!

my current favourite

"There's no such name as Brarbara", has me in hysterics each time.

Have a fabulous time

News from me, appears I am single again. Meh. .

What happened, hey?

Almost a carbon copy replay of the last drama (suddenly going cold and distant on me, completely out of nowhere, after having had a really lovely time only a few days earlier).

I challenged it this time, and we've not been in touch since.

First time this happened with him I was in shock and just so upset. This time, not so much. I don't wish to blow my own trumpet, but I am a bloody catch and deserve so much more than his headfuck games. . .

Good on you, hey, he obviously has ishoos

With a capital ISH!

I so wish I hadn't deleted my profile off POF, am doing a new one and it just seems a bit pants compared to my previous one but I can't quite work out why! That's a lesson learnt! (Next time just hide the damn thing, don't delete it!)

Hey I hope you're ok. He has made himself unworthy.

Juliette, yep, exactly that. I am obviously disappointed, but he isn't who I thought he was, and I deserve more, even if that 'more' is being happily single.

Sorry to see that things with dutchie aren't great. Do you think that is completely finished, or are you just having a bit of space? (feel free to ignore my nosy question).

How's the head this morning winefiend?

I spent a pleasant evening chatting to Guitar Man on OD. Ex banker who had a breakdown but is fine now. We've agreed to pick it up again in the near future. I surprised myself actually. He was incredibly honest about his breakdown and was surprised when I didn't immediately block him. But shit, I went to hell and back in the dying days of my marriage so I kind of admire him for that. The therapist in me made me check out how he is these days and how he found 'redemption' and his reply seemed genuine, I recognised my own redemption in what he said.

So he asks me what I'm looking for. I bloody hate that question because I don't know. So I told him the truth, someone who 'gets' me, someone who's ok with themselves, someone with whom there's physical and emotional connection - but what that looks like in practice I don't yet know. Definitely NOT marriage though. I said I know that what I want may not happen but I'm ok with that. I'm happy. Normally I dance around that question but what's the point?

Today I'm off to the dump (can hardly contain my excitement). No further dates lined up with GG yet. Wembley has gone quiet .

Hey really sorry to hear your news but it sounds like you have exactly the right attitude. You are worth so much more than this silly twattery. I think you're brilliant for calling him on it. I put up with far more twattery from LM than I ever should have, not good. I think a new profile can be a good thing, though, signifies a fresh start.

Wine you are fab.

Lots of nice emails and texts from Alpha plus some photos of him abroad so I don't think he was in Solihull with Mrs Alpha and we're sorting something out for next week. Am also going to see College Bloke for a curry. He's lovely but I think it will just be too far. We shall see.

I miss Ike. Does anyone know if there's anything we can do to get her allowed back?

oww I contacted mnhq to ask if they'd allow her back, but they stood firm. I miss her too.
