*Bob*, we don't actually know how many lasses have/had been fed similar lines. If you're plate spinning to the extent of going out/on holiday/shacking up with various ladies A, B, C etc., presumably they each need to be fed a line of some sort. At one point, having dashed back from holiday with one such lady in order to locate me at a particular place, he did admit to me he hadn't told her what he was up to and said she would be angry if she knew, so presumably some not very frank line had been peddled there.


I just find it very odd that someone should come out with the kind of stuff written to person A while moving in with person B.

Quite....something equally unfathomable happened to a friend of mine years ago. Her boyfriend propesed to her, and then two weeks later moved in with someone else. Some people I think, just crave attention without a thought for the feelings of the other person. It took her a long time to get over it.

I think some people need a Plan B (or C, D, etc) to accompany their main course, sort of a back-up. I guess that's an insecurity / attention-seeking problem.


I do not agree however with the automatic branding of a person as a failure if they've had 3x divorces. That's an ignorant generalisation. Seems like a self-satisfied know-it-all viewpoint.

Isn't person A posting a detailed private email from person B (who they are no longer in a relationship with) - onto a public forum, on the eve of Valentines Day.. also.. a bit odd?


Fun to read, of course. But for some reason I can't help thinking more about what is says about you for posting it than I am about him for writing it.

I had myself reached the conclusion that there are some people who cannot be alone, at all. Period. I hadn't realised that.

I agree. Which is why I gave him the benefit of the doubt over several years. The quality of the marriage is more indicative than the number, mebbee? (However, in hindsight, it did feel like a bit of a 'beware' that I hadn't given sufficient weight to.)

All that three divorces means is three failed relationships. Some people marry whereas others just live together. I think that 'some people just can't ever be alone' is probably the truest observation. We all know people like that and they are also the people who easily jump ship when someone more appealing comes along. And I personally avoid them like the Plague.
Poor you. Some people (male and female) are just in love with falling in love - with the heightened sense of themselves that it gives them. Think it's a kind of narcissism. I've learned to be suspicious of anyone who has a history of seamless or overlapping relationships.

Agree

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
    • Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
