My favourite uncle worked for the revenue. Cycled to work every morning. Did his stints organising check points for green diesel and ending up in marketing for ROS. A more pleasant man I have yet to meet. He used to joke with my mam and dad about the wine bottles with the green tags on the top.
I cant see them so could never answer the OP's question. But in general people would put up the best picture they have of themselves so I dont think I would ever be harshly judgemental. Wouldnt want it done on me so wouldnt do it to someone else. Thats the way I roll more often than not.
she used to say it on and off for about the last year or so. It got more often til one day i went on a date with a guy who normally dated dancers & EE women and he said that he was attracted to me. I told her this....her immediate response was.....he's definitely gay! Think I said about 10 sentences to her after that in total, 5 or 6 which werent polite.
But c'est la vie. I didnt lose any sleep over the ending of that friendship.
Im single and would prefer to stay single than settle. Not just for myself. But I couldnt do that to someone else. Be with them if I wasnt totally into them. They would deserve better than that. Now I do believe that there has to be a certain level of compromise in a relationship. WHich can be hard if you have been single for a long time. I had a very interest conversation (with above mentioned guy) about the compromises I would be willing to make for a decent relationship, what areas were flexible, what would warrant discussion and what ones were fixed. It was actually a very enlightening thing to actually figure out.
A friend once told me that on a scale of 1 to 10 that the father of my child was at least 5 points ahead of me. So if he was a 9 (he was in her eyes) then that made me a 4. She couldnt understand how we managed to make a baby. I have to add we are no longer friends after similar comments.
I dont use a scale a numerical scale. But we do rate people in terms of attractiveness to us. Whether it is subconscious or concious. I know who I can attract and who I am attracted to.
I do believe its true that people tend to go for someone who they feel are the same as them on an attractiveness scale.
I dont thinks its as blatant as scoring people. But I do believe it happens all the time.
Crikey the lyrics are slightly glummier than I remember!!! Sometimes you're better off dead There's gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head You think you're mad, too unstable Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables In a restaurant in a West End town Call the police, there's a madman around Running down underground to a dive bar In a West End town
CHORUS
Too many shadows, whispering voices Faces on posters, too many choices If, when, why, what? How much have you got? Have you got it, do you get it, if so, how often? And which do you choose, a hard or soft option? (How much do you need?)
(How much do you need?)
CHORUS
You've got a heart of glass or a heart of stone Just you wait 'til I get you home We've got no future, we've got no past Here today, built to last In every city, in every nation From Lake Geneva to the Finland station (How far have you been?)
I definitely dont wish even the smallest iota of unhappiness on this girl. She deserves every ounce of happiness in life. She is a true gem. I am surprised it took this long for someone to snap her up.
And I suppose a bit of it too is that she is getting married so soon and I probably wont be able to make it.
I found myself to be feeling jealous of my friend who had the baby 2 months ago. But that was mainly down to my broodiness. Found out today she is getting married in 8 weeks time. I tell you, Im torn between being deliriously happy for her and being crushed by jealousy. And I hate how I feel about one of the people who had been one of my closest friends for 14 yrs.
