    I had this once but flaming ada, years later he did ask why I never 'took him in hand' so I did...several times. :D

    However his technique wasn't - up to scratch - so once the novelty wore off, it really didn't live up to expectations.
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    :( bother, it seemed like the perfect way to spend the next couple of years.
    Now I suppose I'll have to spend the time ironing.
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.

    The way my good friend Karen used to put it; is that he's probably got toilet paper stuck in his 4 skin.

    Crude - but works a treat. Unless they are 'cut'. In which case 'bum crack' works.

    Takes your mind off the rest, well it does me!

    Pick at least one trait that's really important to you in a partner, then try and convince yourself that this guy is the complete antithesis to this - eg a body to die for? Maybe, just maybe, he spends his life in the gym, cancels dates to play sport, is intolerably vain and self-centred? If there's no evidence to the contrary, tell yourself it's true! Over and over and over again :)

  • I had a mahoosive crush on Shane Ward (not the cricketer - the ahem "singer"). I was absolutely convinced that if we met, he'd realise I was the woman for him. Never mind that I was 15 years older than him, married with 2 kids and he had a girlfriend...... I heard he liked older woman and his gf was blond - I was an older woman and blond (at the time).

    I never went to see him in concert for fear of what would happen if our eyes met across the stage and screaming teenagers :p Seriously!

    It was so out of the realms of possibility but it was nice while it lasted :D

    PS I still think he's rather dishy!

    Never chase love, affection or attention. If it isn't given freely by another person, it isn't worth having. The simple things in life should be effortless.
