RE: Love is just an Illusion

Map, tut. You need a longer relationship. Buy a coffee plantation!

RE: Love is just an Illusion

Hey Fly!

I'm not saying I don't get heated

Watch those flames of yours, but enjoy

15 years and now this, ungrateful sod

Map, I've taken the huff and he may find himself on bread and water

15 years and now this, ungrateful sod

Aa, stick with me, kid, I got all the old-fashioned words

15 years and now this, ungrateful sod

Red, he's been fixed, he's not supposed to enjoy anything

RE: Profile Honesty

Okay now I am on proper pc and can read some comments (not all, sheesh, life's too short) and talk like a human being.

Molly, your profile actually tells us all about the guy you want to meet. Accurate in the stats, though.

Meet 15 men? I should be so lucky. nearly half the men I met were already taken anyway. (Some of the other half probably were as well, at least emotionally, but don't admit it)

I go back to the advertising thing, though. Went to see one house, 6 bedrooms! tons of scope! top room and terrace has own entrance! cave off kitchen!

Reality: 6 rooms perhaps in all. That own entrance needed you to scramble on all fours up a hillside, no path, no steps. The cave was more like an alcove. He completely failed to mention he'd knocked down an inside wall and not put in a lintel, or that the only ceiling I saw was minutes off crashing down. Tons of scope? Aye, for a bulldozer.

So profile honesty should be 5% wishful thinking, 5% self-delusion, 30% salesmanship and 60% honest. That would work for me. However for me the bio is all, if that's stilted or sounds remotely fake, nope.

RE: Love is just an Illusion

Love is nothin' but a made-up emotion - actually that's true.

I love I want I need I have to have, that's MINE, ooh I'm sad cause he gone, pitter-patter in the chest when you see him - all sorts of different reactions all bundled together under the umbrella word love.

Your brain says ooh and comes to attention so you tell yourself its love. Who is having that effect on you, by the way? (just being nosey)

My 70 year-old buddy was recently widowed after over 40 years. Only one serious girlfriend before the wife and guess what? He and that girlfriend, who have met fairly frequently at school reunions and always got on well, are now having a thing, and he's cheering up by the minute. I can hardly wait to turn 70, all the fun seems to be there.

RE: Finally Back!

All best for quickest recovery

RE: Profile Honesty

Can only read 1st words of each para

Profile is advertising

Ads are to catch attention

Now met 15? Peeps off CS

Guess how many honest in 15

Maybe 3. My own is the truth - as I see it - but not the whole truth. My pics are not photoshopped but they are flattering. I squawk with horror and delete unflattering ones.

I'm looking at houses and some ads are truth but not the whole truth and some are barely true and some are pure fibs. The sellers hope I won't notice - or see the potential - just like profiles, really

RE: Cyber Life

Map, I've known you be ready for a skype chat in as long as it takes to get coffee, guess I was lucky and you'd already prettied up for another chat earlier

RE: The CS Retro and Vintage Art Roadshow-Female bloggers edition

Maybe on another blog ...

RE: The CS Retro and Vintage Art Roadshow-Female bloggers edition

I think your wording may be too upmarket. You're alarming the punters.

Not to mention I didn't recognize half of them but then I haven't been around much

RE: Under The Red CS Moon

Ish I refuse to sound like Mrs Slocum.

RE: Under The Red CS Moon

I'm trying to reach Bubbles to thank her but I'm blocked by her filters. Curses.

Lovely Bubbles please message me I don't have skype on this computer xx

RE: The CS Retro and Vintage Art Roadshow-Female bloggers edition

Not -

Map, not collecting females either but looking forward to the enterprising female blogger who does the honours for the male collectables.

RE: Whatever happened...

Ouch gt I will need to reread my blog in case I seemed to blame others for my stupidity. I did think I took total responsibility

RE: WARNING FOR THE UNDEAD

Tenner, give it a rest. I'm not being pursued by anyone in Spain, okay?

I hear it is pouring with rain in Scotland.

RE: WARNING FOR THE UNDEAD

Glad it was a false alarm, Mappo.

Wherever I settle I shall dash to the nearest bar whenever I hear an Englishwoman has died. Could catch a bit of your luck.

RE: Under The Red CS Moon

Titch, I'll buy that pic of my cat if it's a good one. He seems determined to run through his 9 lives asap.

RE: Under The Red CS Moon

Z surprised you weren't locked up, so rowdy and boisterous as you were, had to be poured into your car.



The cat is philosophical about losing a life or two.

RE: Under The Red CS Moon

I saw no stoicism so am taking the whole blog with a giant pinch of salt and so should all readers

Titch and Stretch were as good as ever. Bubbles was fantabulous, even bubblier than expected. Love her to bits. Ginger was caught stroking a strange man's leg. Her excuse - she thought it was her dog well, puhleeze. The woman is stupid. The men got an occasional word in.

The moon was pretty awesome.



There are photos of Stretch. Slightly blurred, mind. Looking forward to seeing how many if any make it on to the blog. There's at least one of Ginger which could cause a murder if published. There will be no wondering whodunit.

RE: Harvest Moon

nly a few hundred miles apart but I didn't see it until it had risen higher and turned silvery. A beaut.

RE: Cheerleaders ate my Pony

Boomslang??????????????

You named your pony Boomslang??????????????????

RE: all the same y

Your own profile isn't exactly groundbreaking.

RE: Do you ever play the Getting old card,

I'm in the middle of a really complicated move and struggling with being organized, I really was beginning to think maybe it was an age thing and then I found an old letter I faxed to my sister 17 years ago shortly before my really complicated move to the UK and I was ranting that I was completely disorganized and would never be ready in time -

We use age as an excuse but unless it brings real problems with it, we are self-defeating I refuse to use age as an excuse and get quite irritated when people say some issue I'm having is age-related. I've ALWAYS been a useless dingbat.

One packing problem sorted

I refuse to be friends with cowards and losers

I will stick to mildly-eccentric loons instead and by purest good luck I know some

One packing problem sorted

Not to mention the dog is traumatized enough already and if I start chasing her for hairs ...

I think I will be quite perfectly happy if I never see a bottle of champers again, tbh

One packing problem sorted

Hey Red! and this is my second start in a new country, remember, I'm already a transplant

Beer it is.

One packing problem sorted

Track, I did pour some in a glass. There's a faint possibility there's a link between that and my feeling of being out of step a bit this morning?



I should probably have had a farewell party instead but to be honest no-one could even squeeze in through the door right now, the place is in such chaos, and by Saturday when it is empty I will be too tired. Besides, I only have a handful of local friends - actually, 3. LESS than a handful. My way was more efficient.

Morning, Mappy, yes, a little.

I can't think why.
