any more requests while I'm at the bar....

Smiley, the nickname thing drives me mad. I've a male pal who calls his friends by nicknames (usually surname related) and then will introduce me to Doug, Paul, Jason etc and wonder why I've no idea who they are.

God, where to start....

I've had the Smiley moniker for years. I have male and female friends that have called me Smiley for ages and longer.

I used to go on ski-ing holidays in huge groups of people. Half of them have never met me and still go away at the end of the week, not knowing my real name.

It's better than being known as "Miserable git"

PS It is surname related.

Ah but you see you send the letter and know you can't get a reply for at least a week so you have a week in which to play piano buy hats, gossip and sew or what ever else they used to do, before the anxiety creeps in and you feel (in my case) fat and unloved.

Now - look at phone, check face book , check okcupid, and its not as if there is any one on the horizon!

when there is I am embarrassing with the checking !

You're right, at least if you didn't hear from them for a week you would know why! And the post can only be checked once a day. And it's a lot harder to send a drunken letter than a drunken text:o Don't worry about the embarrassing checking, am right there with you:o

Smiley, was 6 million dollar man that figure with the magnify eye?

Spot on girl. Lee majors, before he became the Fall Guy

Remember the tag line "Steve Austin, astronaut....We have the technology, we can rebuild him..."

It was how much he cost to fix, and not his bank balance.

God, I've given away my age now....

my cousin had one of those figures along with action men, toys these days are so much better

Hi Sarahb

It was in those days they shot the messenger.
And I know it was in the seventies (the 1870s and no I do't remember that, eco!)

There's always the sonic screwdriver with a free doctor to fix everything these days.

Thanks.

Things were fine up until I starting trying to "help" him i.e. how to do things. Maybe if I'd kept my mouth shut and spoken up for the important stuff only I'd be not looking at being alone.

I'm not a barrel of laughs sorry, can I have a cocktail please?

If you'd done that you might still be with him. And that would be a bad thing. You have had a bloody lucky escape by the sound of it and you should thank your lucky stars because it leaves you free to meet a decent man. I know it's hard and you miss him but don't you think if you'd had children he would be doing the same to them? Violent men never change, ever.

Ah, waiting weeks for letters, shooting messengers, actually dying of a broken heart, swooning, dueling etc, those were the days!:D
