What happens

Some do ... and after talking to one reader who is convinced it is autobiographical and I am telling my own story, I would just say that anyone who ever forced a Leo on me would be limping for a good while after. And nothing to do with a trick knee, either.

No it is not autobiographical. And anyone halfway through wondering if they can take the pace any longer, the pace changes completely after that slightly alarming point. Also any similarities to CS start rapidly vanishing. It's FICTION.

Hugh Jackman would actually be okay. I'd be so distracted waiting for his talons to shoot out I'd probably chatter non-stop

RE: A second rainbow.

Bspoken, looking out for your book on the subject or at least some long blogs, you can't just say something like that and go.

RE: A second rainbow.

Haha I'm beginning to wonder what I missed in Spain, too! Was I awake at the time? But I must have been, I counted up I got about 7 hours sleep the whole long weekend

Z, I'm a little shocked. 2+2 on CS is 22. especially when it comes to rumour

My house has been secured twice, Ish, since I last posted, it is wonderfully comforting

Makes you proud to be British

D, people do panic under pressure, we've all gone blank - well, I know I have!

Just about to secure my home. Anyone else for coffee while the kettle's on?

RE: Broken hearted

No. As long as you want the same things, you can get there. If he is into stuff you won't consider (or vice versa) that's much more compromise and you'll never be entirely compatible,but if the basics are in place, maybe you're just hoping for too much, too soon. Fireworks are great but building a bonfire is very satisfying.

Really liking someone is rare.

Daniela, it isn't easy being this bright :quiet pride:

Makes you proud to be British

Hahaaa love the list but there's a certain logic you have to applaud in some.

what's wrong with that?

RE: The Senility Prayer

Worst thing about getting older, it gets harder to find someone successful who was still a nobody at your age.

RE: How Do They Manage It?

Hey, and now for something completely different. Cat, I have found a place for you to live.



Ja. Shot two buffalo dead with one shot fountain. (Ok I shortened it a bit).

When are you moving?

RE: Body donation

I'm a registered organ donor. My daughter knows that if I end up vegetative, my living will is to be kept alive only as long as it takes to harvest any useful bits. I don't think anyone will want my lungs

Then off to medical school - there is such a desperate shortage of cadavers that student surgeons are having to learn virtually instead of on dead bodies like in the good old days. So I'll be a bit of a treat for them.

Why would anyone want to be buried or cremated intact? We're just animated lumps of clay and when the animated bit stops, donate the clay to give someone the chance of a working kidney, corneas, whatever, even just surgical experience.

RE: Online Dating: Risky, Dangerous, and Deadly...

The only safe way to meet anybody is to grow up practically next door to them, be friends with their sisters - oh no, hang on. One of our favourite bloggers found that wasn't safe either.

At some point in your life you look around and realize there is no-one you know that you want to get closer to. At that point you either accept this is it, as good and interactive as life gets, or you take a chance on stepping out, trying to meet new people.

There are safety precautions but sure, after a month or so of dating, you aren't following them as rigidly. Your new person has become real. It has to come down to gut feel. Do you trust someone, at gut level, or not?

The scary part of dating, however you met someone, is when you continue to see someone because you'd rather ignore your gut reaction than be alone.

That's a terrible, terrible story. Heard a horrendous one today of a man who beheaded his common-law wife, smashed her head and flushed it down the loo. I don't know how they met - but there are some sick, sick people out there. You can meet them through work, in a bar, or on-line. Don't drive people indoors, just teach safety.

What happens

Ken, maybe they'll offer me free membership?

I'm just grateful this punt didn't get deleted, I was sure it would be, just hoped I wouldn't get deleted along with it. Thanks Mods

RE: I Just Got Rejected...Tough!

You've been busy, when did you add the others to your family

Garn, you're better off without him

What happens

Send it over? SEND IT OVER? Cal, spend the euro, darling, and when we meet one day I'll buy you a coffee as return of investment!

What happens

Pat, those are my OTHER books. And yup Colonel Mustard in the library, that's the one on the drawing board, I may message you privately for plot ideas

What happens

Calleis, there really is no-one to name. The characters are a mash of Wizard of Oz characters with second-timer singles characteristics, the story is a story about Dorothy's adventures, if you like, and Dorothy doesn't exist either.

It isn't a Peyton Place with hundreds of characters, is what I'm saying, and if anyone DOES see themselves in any one character, they'd be fairly, um, unusual people. It's a romp, no more no less, and every one in it is linked to a Wizard of Oz character in some way, except the women - that book is a bit short of women, when you go looking. Glinda the good witch and the unnamed witch at the beginning and Auntie Em - that's the lot!

What happens

Thanks for the good luck wishes generally it's all just a bit of fun and nothing and nobody based on anyone, haha

What happens

Ever sukkeling ... get a South African to translate that for you

What happens

That's me out for the evening, and thanks for talking, guys. That was a scary few minutes there when I thought I'd been sent to Coventry.

What happens

Blog hijack - Tom Jones singing as I type. won't be feeling much like singing now, with the death of his wife. That was the kind of marriage, through thick and thin, scandal and mess, that in theory we all want.

What happens

No sequel, yikes. There's a thing called a real life out there that I want to look into.

What happens

Haha KN I'd have thought that was obvious. Mind you, I was slightly taken aback myself.

What happens

Crazy, the one written already is quite a thin book I had to keep away from real stories, remember?

The History Of CS would be 36 volumes at least. I think you would have one to yourself ...

What happens

Crazy - you write volume 2, howzat?

What happens

Chrome, I can safely promise you it will be the best book about mature singles with a Wizard of Oz sub-theme that you will ever read.

Cross my heart.

What happens

Itchy, I may be forcibly evicted, or sent to CS jail, or something.

What happens

Pedal, I'd explain, but you're already skipping onto other blogs

When you do come back, though, there's a book out there that's not about CS, and has scarecrows and tin men and lions who aren't.

Hope that's cleared it up.

What happens

Molly - doesn't even need to be briskly.
