The (married) male head master at my dd's previous school started an affair with the (married) female deputy head. The headmaster was found to have lied on his cv to get the job in the first place. Was sacked, then he and the dep haed went off to be head master and teacher at a school in Africa (taking 2 of the deputy's children with them.

Blackduck, I think signing up for challenging sporting events is the quintessence of a non-aggressive MLC. I know someone who signed up for the Great North Run last year, thinking he was a frisky 25 year old and got beaten by his 42 year old girlfriend.

motherinferior · 21/05/2007 18:29

mother - he was gorgeous she is a sad figure now though, she never quite got over it all. BTW her hubby was gorgeous, reminds me of George Clooney - shite in bed though so she says

Many moons ago, when I was young free and single, I was someone's midlife crisis. It was wonderful.

ggglimpopo · 21/05/2007 18:44

Bloody hell AnnabelCaramel - i think we know the same woman! Are you in Surrey?

ggglimpopo · 21/05/2007 18:45

Shit, no, that was too Hayes - the woman who ran off with a young Mayan. But have just reread and it was your SIL. Perhaps I'll shut up.

AnnabelCaramel · 21/05/2007 18:46

ggg....slow down your reading speed!!!!

ROFL at this!
DH has just had his MLC (turns 40 next year) and bought a red 2 seater car. Even he calls it the Mid-Life Crisis Mobile, though!

friend of mine - her husband bought a red Ducati.

Every weekend, when she tries to plan 'family days out' he religiously takes the whole bike apart and then lovingly, spends every minute putting it back together meaning she has to go out with all the kids to avoid trampling on his bike parts and he gets the whole weekend with his bike. Extraordinary.
