would you, could you, change?

Yeah, his wife smoked and he accepted it. But he HATED it. Anyway, smokers should stick with smokers, and non-smokers with non-smokers. It's a personality type

would you, could you, change?

Does seem such a pity. How many sane, normal, men are there out there? I know he doesn't play games, I know he stayed with his GF through some serious trauma, I know why they broke up. I know she is adamant and isn't going to change, and neither is he, and it is a reason any one of us would accept and probably do the same.

But - perfect world, I only go to bed at 02h00. And I LOVE smoking. And he's a great friend, don't muck that about.

What a waste. Huh.

RE: Today...

Hard to miss him - are we all going to find love? Poor CS, out of business.

Lovely pics, what a beautiful part of the world you are in!

You're very welcome. I know you haven't mastered the youtube code yet. Or just like getting minions to post your choices. One of the two.

Back to the Spanish lunch. Nigel lives the other end of the province, so it would be a 3 hour drive each way for him. He's passing.

Wuss.

Let us instead remind ourselves that Yente's choices were not, after all, successful. She picked a portly butcher who was rejected.

I love the Russian dancing in this one.

Yup been resisting the temptation to post the Yenta clip

And back off, lady, any good men in kilts are MINE. I was thinking of someone a wee bit closer to you. But I won't do it. I WON'T.

Haha Cal you like me and trust me, thank you, ditto. But you don't believe me when I say I'm going cold turkey on the matchmaking?

You people are KILLING me.

You like comic books? You know who Kal-el is? Because I could, I just might, have just the ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH STOP ME

Haha I still think my pin would work. Maybe I should try it myself. I'd have to pick the crowd fairly carefully though ...

You're not a gambler, but you're on CS? Um - run that past me again?

More coffee!

Amorn, I'm doing the program because I'm rubbish at matchmaking! Pull up a range of local men, shut your eyes and poke the screen with a pin. You're more likely to pick right than I would.

Even better, step out into the street with that pin, shut your eyes and walk until someone screams in pain. I'll dance at your wedding.

MUST go for a short while, the dog has her lead in her mouth but looks as though she is about to drop it and bite me instead.

Very chuffed about this. Should probably let sister know, as well.

That's a pretty good argument.

AFK, just running the conversation so far past Nigel, also in Andalucia. He might have a counter-offer. Or, of course, be horrified by the whole idea.

Straining my ears, I think I heard a faint whisper suggesting Almeria?

Min, I am rubbish at matchmaking. RUBBISH. I just have to point to my own disastrous lovelife. I pick duds. Nice duds, very charming, but really not in it to win it.

Hmm. Re Benjamin, okay, maybe not.

And I'm fine on your suggestion too, although we now have two for Motril ...

Z, you're the original invisible man, we see right through you.

Min, we could meet up and share a car too. Although your suggestion will probably be Murcia

Matchmakers Anonymous

Motril. Hmm. So at least one of us can drink over lunch ...

LOL, Z, told you I got you a lift. Although if the truck driver is a hottie, we could do with an extra bloke?

Now beginning the tricky business of finding a suitable meeting point. Suggestions on the blog, please, to save private messages skimming all over the place. I have absolutely no idea but my sister does have a Satnav. Have hirecar, will travel.

I shan't be bringing the swimsuit.

Matchmakers Anonymous

Definitely beginning to look like a group meet-up possibility. Z, I even got you a lift. No escape.

Min, can't be THAT far, my sister's local airport is Murcia airport? Lunch. Any preference for days? Weekend best?

Matchmakers Anonymous

Z, don't you nip away, you're one of the ones I really, really want to meet for lunch. What's a 4 hour drive between CS bloggers, eh? And we can meet halfway, then your towels would really be safe, hehe


Talking of towels, my sister said to pack a swimsuit. What? Swim? In PUBLIC? Yikes. We don't do that sort of thing here at all at all.

Min, are you including the archeologist? But YES mainly the horses. Any chance of riding along a beach? That's one of the things on my list which I begin to think I may never tick off ...

MJ, there are some serious Irish lovelies on CS. You, my friend, are spoiled for choice!

Since the blog has switched to travel, this joke just in :

"Dogs Welcome"
A man wrote a letter to a small hotel in a Midwest town he planned to visit on his vacation. He wrote: I would very much like to bring my dog with me. He is well-groomed and very well behaved. Would you be willing to permit me to keep him in my room with me at night?"

An immediate reply came from the hotel owner, who wrote:

SIR: "I've been operating this hotel for many years. In all that time, I've never had a dog steal towels, bed clothes, silverware or steal pictures off the walls or use them as a coloring book.

I've never had to evict a dog in the middle of the night for being drunk and disorderly.. And I've never had a dog run out on a hotel bill. Yes, indeed, your dog is welcome at my hotel. And, if your dog will vouch for you, you're welcome to stay here, too."

Kivilcim, I'd love that! Almeria province, though. Too far? I'll message you more specifically if not

Matchmakers Anonymous

Red, I'd love to. I keep hinting but nowt. Will have to start writing direct soon. There are 3 on my shortlist, a lovely lady, a dropdead gorgeous gent, and one who suggested I not go to my sister at all, just head straight to his place for the week. I think he's joking. Who wants houseguests for a week??? Apart from family, of course, who haven't the option.

I thought there were CS bloggers the length and breadth of Ireland. You keep us updated too!

MJ, welcome. CS is a learning curve, I only learned the other day how to post photos by using 'upload blog photos' and it has been staring me in the face for over a year in that same section ...

Haha Red matchmaker sticks need their own AA program! Enjoy Ireland, are you meeting any CS types while there? I'm booked for Spain end September and really hoping to meet up with some blog buddies but it's a biiiiiiig country.
