    You can almost guarantee it's because she's picking up on your desperation, it's a pretty big turn off.

    Move on.

    Nope, no joke RJ. You'd be surprised at the effort and time people have spent on PL. I know, I've been one of them. He exasperates, then makes a joke and finally comes back whining that things have gone wrong again in his life. No doubt I'll get sucked in again, at some point, thinking I can make a small difference. And this is what the others do, to a greater or lesser extent, I'm sure.

    No, his wife told him to turn, so he turned. :)

    I do appreciate the time and effort people spend on me, to use your phrasing. And if I seem to ignore it, it's not deliberate. I do listen to people's advice, don't get me wrong. And if I am making a decision, I will certainly consider the views of others, even if I don't necessarily act on them. That doesn't mean I don't consider the value of their advice/views hwever.

    I should point out however, I wasn't in this instance whinging nor have I whinged in a while.

    Whinging or fluttering your heart, it all blurs into one now.

    Fair enough TSS, you're entitled to your opinion. I find PL frustrating too at times, as I'm sure he realises, but when I do bother to post anything on this board it is usually because I have time on my hands therefore I don't consider it wasted regardless of the response that it provokes as I probably wouldn't be doing anything very productive instead.
    PL has a lot to learn about many things, and time will probably provide those lessons however many of us, myself included have made mistakes regarding relationships, often repeatedly. If I think back to what I was like when I was in my late teens/early 20s, I was never too quick at following advice from others, even if I meant to at the outset. Luckily for me, I have a son not much older than PL who is scarily like I was at that age so I get a constant reminder of just how naive and illogical most of us are during young adulthood and it certainly keeps me from getting too smug and worldly when faced with young people's struggles to make their way in the world.
    We could all be wasting our time trying to advise PL on how to deal with relationships, however I would hazard to guess that even if he hasn't been able to follow our advice yet, the lessons will slowly sink in.
    I was always a bit more hard nosed and cynical than most as a youngster so my mistakes didn't effect me as much emotionally as they would have done if I had been nicer/more innocent however I appreciate how others might feel and can't really blame them for how they are affected by life's ups and downs.

    I'm an old sexist when it comes to driving, and when given a choice by my sat nav on whether to have a male or female voice for directions, chose the female voice as I have long been able to ignore any instructions a female passenger gives me as I always know best......even when the resulting detour caused by ignoring those instructions costs me time and/or distance. :emoticon-0100-smile

    I'm sorry. It's just like, you know, when you have a really good night, a really good moment.... the kinda night you don't want to end, and you just wanna tell someone about it... Almost as a way to give it life or something, to make it real. Like nostalgia but.... I'm not sure if it counts as nostalgia when it's a couple of days ago. I don't know if that makes any sense. I guess I don't really have many people I can tell, so I guess you guys have had to bare the brunt. I'm sorry.

    Oh, all right PL. It's a good job we think you're basically a good lad. :)

    I'd love to know how short the shrift you'd get on your own forum [I'm not bothering to look.]

    Police aren't treating the death as suspicious going by reports this morning.

    A sat nav is only there as a challenge to beat the time it sets any way.

    On my portable one, I have Darth Vader and the 'car' is an X~wing

    I don't really fancy a sat-nav, but if I did I wouldn't have a male voice on it....as I'd take no notice at all<laugh>

    Now you see RJ, this is where it's difficult to comprehend PL because I clearly knew everything about everything at that age. Ask my Dad!! <whistle>

    You can probably download a male Portuguese voice Fran.... You'd never go anywhere then, just sitting in the car drooling at the device :)
