Only for the moment. As George Meredith so sweetly put it, "love dies".


Even the euphoric froth of the instant, assuming it's not as unilateral is it looks, will soon be tinged with the workaday details of life's grim carnival. There are children to think of or, at least, their cost. And, as is the case in every transient fit of human happiness, lawyerly shadows will be balefully gathering to await their inevitable offerings. It's all very well to dream of skipping hand in hand from the brewerly gloom of a scented cellar to build a new life amongst nature's bounty, but past experience, if not the by-laws, suggests the attempt will swiftly sunder the stoutest of romantic bonds, whether forged by Cupid's deceitful darts or the barmaid's dispensations.


I may be wrong. Perhaps this episode represents a miraculous new beginning from which all concerned will emerge into a brighter future, replete with shining prospects on near horizons. And though history, as far as I have read it, admits no precedent, history is written by cynics.

DDM, you use the term 'partner', do I take it then you are not married to the mother of your children?


If that's the case it rules out the most obvious course of action, that of a father-in-law horse-whipping you on the steps of your club.


It's a pity of course, but there's nothing to be done about it.

Errrr, was that anything to do with you declaring your undying love for her on a local public internet forum?

Please don't tell me you asked her to sit up and beg...

    • There's not enough people talking about this - I've often worried about it too  One busy staff's mistakes will not make my pockets lighter, thank you very much. Thanks Sue and all the best for the new year. 
    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
