    I *love* that poem :)

    By Wendy Cope

    Bloody men are like bloody buses -
    You wait for about a year
    And as soon as one approaches your stop
    Two or three others appear.

    You look at them flashing their indicators,
    Offering you a ride.
    You're trying to read the destinations,
    You haven't much time to decide.

    If you make a mistake, there is no turning back.
    Jump off, and you'll stand there and gaze
    While the cars and the taxis and lorries go by
    And the minutes, the hours, the days.

    I didn't know it WAS a poem! Brilliant!

    Well let me see....since I've been with Pint.......one bloke admitted he fancied the pants off me and he was jealous of the tattooist as he got to touch me.......my mate told me he thinks he's falling in love with me and was, rather strangely, VERY clingy (trying to cuddle me at every moment) ....scared me a bit .

    Well after a spectacularly uneventful day, I'm off to bed.
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    Elfen - took me a while to work out what you were selling :o

    I'm glad I could introduce you to the poem, it is one I find so clever.

    Night night anyone left left lurking.
