"You're Dumped"

[*Bob*]

One of my 'early girlfriends' dumped me - on the grounds that she wanted to go out with someone who looked more like the lead singer from Echo & The Bunnymen.

It seemed like poor reasoning at the time, but - thinking back - it was near-genuis. I had no comeback.

Has anyone else been dumped, or dumped anyone under vaguely amusing circumstances?

[Jah Lush]

None that I can think of but I do know someone that actually went out with Ian McCullough (lead singer of Echo & The Bunnymen).

[Bellenden Belle]

I once gave someone "negative chi", He made our finishing sound as if it was a sacrifice on behalf of his yoga group as he felt he was carrying the negative energy with him into his class.

I bet that was her. The cold-hearted bitch.

I should have dumped my first proper boyfriend on the grounds that he looked like a cross between andrew eldrich (sp?) from that dodgy goth band, 'the sisters of mercy' and Bono (in the 80s), from that very famous irish band.

I should have dumped my second boyfriend on the grounds that he looked like michael portillo (according to my mum). :-$

Edited : for TMI :-S

I have dumped someone on the grounds of not enough sex (not so unusual) but he rather stole my thunder the following month when he came out and moved to Brighton.

I would have gone out with Ian McCulloch (on the basis that Morrissey and I never made it up the aisle), except you know, I was at school at the time. I don't half envy her, Jah.

My God.. it all makes sense now. Those black clothes. That faint whiff of patchouli.

[Twirly]

I've had a couple...

"We get on really well, and I think you're really attractive, and that's why I can't go out with you..." Eh??? I thought that was the entire point (?)

"You're allergic to things and drink strange tea" - 10 years later he declared his undying love. I didn't take him up on it...

[SeanMacGabhann]

Damn *Bob* just how often do you lurk nearby?

[*Bob*]

I see all.

Beware one day the tap on your shoulder. Boo!

[MrBen]

I once got dumped for being "too nice" and another time for having sex with two other girls in one day. You can't win.

[*Bob*]

It was a victory of sorts, MrBen.

[DJKillaQueen]

Yeah I've been dumped for having too much enthusiasm for life - wtf do some people want?

[MrBen]

I still remember the second one. Her name was Miranda and she had wonky big toes you could hold onto when required.

Was that me? I used a near identical line once. There was supposed to be a "but..." near the end, but I stopped short.

LOL - I have no idea! Did you deliver this line in a bar on the south bank and then get back together with an old girlfried?

[Jeremy]

Nope...

[Brendan]

I once got dumped quite mercurially by a girl I hadn't yet realised I was going out with.

[Loz]

Did you get a farewell shag, Bren? Or even a hello/goodbye shag in that particular case?

[dita-on-tees]

I am not sure I even classify this as being dumped but I got a text from a fella I went on 2 dates with

"whenever i feel a girl really likes me I get scared and run away"

my reply

"does it help if you know I think you're a bit of a knob with hobbit feet"

I never heard from him again. sighhhhhh.

[Brendan]

I can't honestly remember. The whole business left me a bit perplexed and to this day I have not been brave enough to try to clear up how the misunderstanding happened.

[*Bob*]

Did you say you'd call - and then you didn't? Followed by her accidentally catching you down the pub doing an impression of her 'sex face' in front of your friends?

but you can't take those lyrics seriously now, can you? er....can you?

But eldritch knows his onions.
