Biff moving out of the van

Non, I don't know quite how they have managed it but both Z and Map have managed to avoid my fatal attraction and instead boss me around like some kind of idiot

They have both been absolutely brilliant, plus Z took his life in his hands over and over again as passenger / navigator and is therefore main pin-up #1 on CS for sheer courage

Biff moving out of the van

Blue, funny you should say that, one wall already marked for demolition but the van is REALLY high. Won't squeeze in there

Too early, but put it on ice

Non -

(okay, THEN I checked my spelling. So much to learn)

making the first move

Baig, there'd be a blog in that except that few would even realize what simple things they are enjoying ....

making the first move

Morning, campers.

The simple things in life, we don't miss 'em until we no longer got 'em. I DREAM of the days when the dog could get out and the cat could get in without me having to wake up and form part of the equation.

Rob, you found you an old-fashioned girl, excellent!

Pat, if only

RE: Ok I'm up for the game

wrong blog. And you're not a blonde either.

There a full moon tonight?

RE: Ok I'm up for the game

oh sweetie

and you're not even a blond - it's just ADORABLE

whoops lost signal twice now

so if I vanish again I'm not being rude

I won't try again - bedtime in vanland.

RE: Ok I'm up for the game

Gotta echo Molly on this one, Mic

making the first move

Now Molly you can solve the absolute opposite problem for me, how do I make it clear that I am not writing about myself in my books

making the first move

JJ that's exactly it. Shyness - and maybe just wishing someone would take them in hand and bypass all the fuss.


Anyway I think Molly's solved this particular guy's problem.

making the first move

Molly, I'm keeping WELL clear.

But I will suggest that - she does read his conventional books, he could try a gently shaded one, ask her to proofread it as a Completely New Departure and give him an opinion ...

by George I think you've got it

RE: Ok I'm up for the game

blue, maybe, just maybe, your bags and my crocheting ...

Just a thought. Just a thought.

RE: Ok I'm up for the game

making the first move

It did make me wonder how many men on here would actually like a woman to make the first move, and basically move the whole thing along. Any? Many?

RE: Ok I'm up for the game

Mick, you're not just saying that? I have an actual convert???


WOW

making the first move

I did suggest he tell her his secret writing name and let her read one of his books which are very clear on what he dreams about.

He nearly died on the spot at the very thought. If she was horrified - if she told all their mutual friends his other writing name -

making the first move

Molly, I honestly wonder if he told me in the hope I would offer to write and tell her ...

making the first move

JJ I think he will be a geyser once he finds the right woman

Because he's shy he's always dated shy women and nothing exciting, he says, has ever happened to him as a result

RE: Ok I'm up for the game

May not have been stoned, but many have been bored to tears

Fair's fair, many have been bored to tears by the earnestly religious too

Everything is boring to those who don't share, or want to share, that interest.

I crochet, you know. I really do. You should crochet It is good exercise for your fingers. Working with colours brightens your mind. You can make bootees - let me show you the bootees I made. In fact let me show you how I made these booties. Just cast on 3 stitches, and - where are you going?

How RUDE. All I was trying to do was improve your life, because I know you will embrace crochet once you let it into your life.

RE: Do I or Don't I?

One of my best friends is still pretty hung up on her ex husband even though they both went on to successful second relationships. Every relationship is different so if you had something together that neither of you found elsewhere, and you are on social terms, it will always be a question in your mind.

However I am ready to bet good money he won't be able to answer your question because he won't remember the situation. Male memories are wired completely differently.

It's good that you don't have bitterness towards each other, but the past is the past. Let it go. Getting him to think about it, concentrate on what has gone, will do neither of you any good.

Pat you have a simple and direct approach I can appreciate. however I have no immediate intentions of returning to Scotland so his shower can remain untouched for now.

Red, I've learned my lesson, no taking help from friends in any kind of quid pro quo arrangement ever again anyone who paints or plasters or in any way helps out with the new place will do so via a professional contract. I no longer trust

REVENGE

Well thanks Red, that does help me understand his point of view.

I offered to take them to the coach station and pay for the coach to Malaga, just under 2 hours, simples. Lots of other tourists were on it. I on the other hand had to walk to it, wait for it, find where my key had been left at a large international airport, and then search the fairly large parking lot for my car. And actually 6 hours was fairly inconvenient considering the deal. But then it's all me me me.

And I didn't say his name on FB. I just said the person bringing the car had defaulted on delivering it to me. I've known him for 6 years, he's an angry man but look around here on CS, lots of angry people. Life isn't easy and sometimes the only way we can cope is shouting back rather than cringing in a corner. This is an angry blog, after all. I felt sorry for him that his ex-wife fights him every step of the way re his access to kids, and takes every request he makes to court (he whinges about that a LOT, trashing her on FB). Well, now I understand why she does. People who re-write everything to their own convenience and don't see any problem in that whatsoever need to be controlled by law when it comes to kids.

This was the deal. I asked on Facebook if anyone was thinking of a holiday in Spain, and have copied and pasted what I wrote - I'd want my Toyota IQ driven over in September or thereabout, and will pay your ferry (or chunnel), the tolls, and your flight back to Edinburgh or Glasgow. If you take a tent, practically a free holiday and a fab time of year to visit Spain :D

You decide when the flight back needs to be booked, you can take a few days extra holiday once you've arrived and handed the car over.



He was the first to shout out. Not the only, but the first.

So yup you've now explained how he could read that as his right to take the car to the airport for me to fetch at the end of his holiday. Although transport to the airport wasn't originally offered, how dare I ask them to consider an airconditioned coach to the airport rather than me driving the round trip in the van, he OBVIOUSLY had no alternative but to steal the car. Thanks for explaining, I have seen the light.
