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...

    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
    • Pity you didn't quote what you are referring to, Mal. I didn't see the previous post, and my mind is boggling 😮
    • The Cherry Tree was absolutely excellent for a while when a youngish couple ran it and brought in a really good chef. It was them who renamed it The Cherry Tree. They were really turning it around. The chef did fantastic Scotch eggs, and one of the best roasts I've ever had. If memory serves the then owner,  for some reason known only to himself, took a dislike to them and what they were doing and sacked them all. And yes we weren't expecting a top class  meal last Christmas, and we left it too late to book anywhere else, but we weren't expecting it for a hundred pounds EACH to be quite as terrible as it was. Stupid us. Not sure why you are confused by my post, Jazzer? Did I misremember? Now it's got even more confusing because my posts have been merged and your confused emoji is shown at the bottom of the second one instead of the first 🤣
