Apparently there are websites if you are so inclined....<politically incorrect joke>perhaps you could pitch the idea on Dragons Den</politically incorrect joke>
Rod Stewart trades his wife in for a younger model every few years.
I've stopped work for today. Too much time on my hands. It turns out that Rod Stewart is normal height. He just looks small because he has a penchant for very tall women.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
I actually don't want anybody other than the current DW. Perhaps your mum felt the same about her DH? Plus, there's the awkwardness about dating.
My kids were explaining the rules to me. Funny how life has changed.
Apparently you can't be "going out" until formally asked to be BF/ GF and that takes a few months. Before that you are merely "seeing each other".
I foolishly asked, how much they need to see? But that is called "getting together".
Then there is some in between status that is 'seeing each other' but not exclusively so.

It could be fun trying!

Tbh GDB, I think the whole marriage thing put her off trying again.
As for dating, oooo nooooo, too awkward and as silvercar says, now to complicated. I shall remain, a spinster of this parish.:D0 -

Having spent the day staring at my washing on an airer - and with 20+ pairs of knickers strung on a piece of string looped round the window handle and the door handle .... I've now turned the heating on and had to jiggle it all around.
I've now got:
2 bras hooked over a peg on the radiator in this room.
20+ pairs of knickers on a piece of string looped between that peg and a peg at the other end of the radiator.
A downstairs loo with an airer full of clothes wedged in the corner against the radiator.
A bathroom with a pair of leggings slung over the shower screen; a pair of leggings on each side of the towel radiator and a load of knickers on a loop of string hanging from the upright corner of the towel rail.
One bath sheet spread full width over the landing handrail.
Going by the dampness of all the above I've one more day to live like this before the majority of them will be dry.
You have damp knickers? What will Michaels make of this?No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -

Smocking is very dangerous, according to Generali.
Just to save you looking back a couple of pages, this is not a reference to the risk of tetanus from a dirty needle, but a mis-spelling of smoking.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
You can just hear the mumble from regular listeners to Radio 3. They have a broadcast from Cecil Sharp House at the moment of 'If I was a blackbird'. The listeners will all be mumbling 'If I were a blackbird'. Radio 3, last bastion of us pedants.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0
