On the contrary, merely an observation as to what EDFers find more interesting. Did I suggest that I expected anyone wanting these guys to stay down there? No. Fallacious nonsense on your part.

Really??? Wow, you learn something new everyday. I've touched a raw nerve here. Someone asking how to conduct their lives on an internet forum is clearly as addictive as watching reality shows such as the x factor and BB for you, and demonstrates a singular lack of social skills on the part of the thread author. I have no more to add.

Regarding your intention of dumping your girlfriend.


You could of course try to explain the predicament that you are now faced with, after a night out with the lads, where it was decided by them that it was time for you to conform to the tradition of your faith. Male circumcision.

A public house wooden table in the rear gardens in the dark might not be the best or sterile place to perform this operation, never the less, a cut throat razor was found and a slightly inebriated friend attempted to remove shall we say the onion ring, but the operative tripped over the protruding leg of the table and sliced off the whole onion.

A call on the mobile phone brought a Paramedic, who had to stop the flow of blood, he admitted he had never been trained to do this before on this part of the body, he had to keep the onion alive but carried no instrument that could do this, he just placed it back where it had come from, and a drop of Super Glue each side, it did stick in place but so did the rubber glove of the Paramedic, who had to remove the glove to allow the casualties removal to hospital.

During the consultation later with the Surgeon who did the operation, it was found that the onion had in fact been replaced at a forty five degree angle to the left, this would take time adjusting to, as if using a Public Urinal the person to your immediate left would become wet, you should therefore turn forty five degrees to your right to be on target of the urinal.

As you know it is not possible to turn your right wrist more than forty five degrees with your arm bent across your body, so you must become ambidextrous and use your left hand to position yourself whilst using the toilet.

I strongly recommend that you try experimenting standing in the shower with the door shut, you will soon find the angle to stand, once this is found, you can dispose of the newspapers on the toilet floor and replace the toilet roll back on its roller to the left that you had to remove as it got wet.

This will take many months to heal and might not regain its proper function ever again.


This explained to your Girl you could add;


I realise that you cant be expected to continue to be as close as we were, I must respect your decision if you want to break off our relationship, and find a more upright partner to share your life.

^ Now that is very dangerous...with massive 'backfire' potential!


Any good caring loving woman will see this as a sensitive man fully in touch with his emotions.

She will more than likely be prepared to live with this and support you through this traumatic time in your life...


Stuck with her for ever = fail

I'd recommend le Chardon - the tiled Walls give great acoustics and the proximity of the tables mean that the entire restaurant would be able to follow the scene. Even better do it on a Wednesday so the magician guy could cheer her up afterwards with a little trick. Or just go for the rodeo option

You seem angry, Emerson, and not a little confused. Has someone dumped you in public recently?

Angry? no, confused, how so? Please expalin yourself. No I'm married and possess life/social skills. How about you? Do you have a partner, or are you unloved.

Jeremy and rosieh are right.


Anyway, just because someone asks on an internet forum doesn't mean they don't have life/social skills. The variety of responses on the edf is almost always guaranteed to be interesting and funny, guessing that's why people get drawn in. It can be like reading someone else's personal emails at times*.

    • These have reduced over the years, are "perfect" lives Round Robins being replaced by "perfect" lives Instagram posts where we see all year round how people portray their perfect lives ?    The point of this thread is that for the last few years, due to issues at the mail offices, we had delays to post over Christmas. Not really been flagged as an issue this year but I am still betting on the odd card, posted well before Christmas, arriving late January. 
    • Two subjects here.  Xmas cards,  We receive and send less of them.  One reason is that the cost of postage - although interestingly not as much as I thought say compared to 10 years ago (a little more than inflation).  Fun fact when inflation was double digits in the 70s cost of postage almost doubled in one year.  Postage is not a good indication of general inflation fluctuating a fair bit.  The huge rise in international postage that for a 20g Christmas card to Europe (no longer a 20g price, now have to do up to 100g), or a cheapskate 10g card to the 'States (again have to go up to the 100g price) , both around a quid in 2015, and now has more than doubled in real terms.  Cards exchanged with the US last year were arriving in the New Year.  Funnily enough they came much quicker this year.  So all my cards abroad were by email this year. The other reason we send less cards is that it was once a good opportunity to keep in touch with news.  I still personalise many cards with a news and for some a letter, and am a bit grumpy when I get a single line back,  Or worse a round robin about their perfect lives and families.  But most of us now communicate I expect primarily by WhatApp, email, FB etc.  No need for lightweight airmail envelope and paper in one.    The other subject is the mail as a whole. Privitisation appears to have done it no favours and the opening up of competition with restrictions on competing for parcel post with the new entrants.  Clearly unless you do special delivery there is a good chance that first class will not be delivered in a day as was expected in the past.   Should we have kept a public owned service subsidised by the tax payer?  You could also question how much lead on innovation was lost following the hiving off of the national telecommunications and mail network.
    • Why have I got a feeling there was also a connection with the beehive in Brixton on that road next to the gym
    • Ah, thanks,  it all comes flooding back. I've actually been to the Hastings shop, I'd forgotten all about it, along with her name! Didn't she (in between?)  take over what  was then The Magnolia, previously The Magdala, now The Lordship, with her then partner? Or is that some figment of my imagination?  In fact, didn't they transform it from The Magdala (much missed) to The Magnolia? With flowery wallpaper covering the front of the bar? Which reminds me of the pub's brief period after The Magnolia  as the ill-conceived and ill-fated The Patch.
