Surely it depends on your age?


If you're thirteen, then text message is almost de rigueur these days. Or get a friend to simply phone and say "you're dumped" whilst you giggle in the background, high on solvents and cider.


Angst-ridden teenagers dumping their longer-term partners would be best to go with a letter. This way you can spill your guts in an ill-advised emotional missive - one you're sure to regret writing almost the instant you've sent it.


Anything over the age of thirty and cohabiting: my advice would be to gradually become cold and detached over a long period of time until it finally dawns on your partner that you haven't had sex for two years and you always delete text messages the instant you receive them.

See, thats why I always end relationships by fax, it has the emotion of a letter coupled with the detatchment of the text. It just seems to work. Voicemail is another good way but just check that you can leave more than a 20sec message at one time or else you keep having to call back, which becomes tedious.

DPF, one message is sufficient. After all,


there's no need to discuss much.

So Moos you thought Lee was being invited to drown himself as opposed to handing back his doorkey.

It works though.

This is a joke right? If not, then plant some lipstick on his collar and some knickers in his car and dump him for cheating on you. That'll mess with his head as well as breaking his heart. Then show him that you've asked for advise on an internet forum and hand him the gun with which to shoot himself in the head.

Depends how long you've been seeing them for, why you want to dump them and if you ever want to have a hope of being friends. Only kind way if it's been a serious relationship is in person and in private. And don't feel tempted to do anything silly like tell the truth about why. No good can come of disecting the end of a relationship to death. The only thing people need to know is you don't want to be in it anymore.


But if they have done something seriously rotten to deserve to be dumped.... maybe less kindness is called for!

    • We have had a few cat flaps over the years but none have been electronic. They just have a small clip that you turn to lock or open.  Some come with a magnet and a matching magnet that the cat wears on its collar  This prevents other cats entering.  I've not used these as I don't like the idea of a cat wearing a collar. Cats do like to be out at night and you need to encourage yours to return after a late evening sortie. Calling,rustling treat wrappers worked for ours but he seems to have now got into the habit of coming back about 9pm. without this.        
    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
