Been talking to Shanks and YH this morning, and we all agree one thing:

Blokes need time with blokes and video games.

But our better halves don't understand this and think it's a slight on them.
It's not.
I spend most weeekends at my girlfriend's place until sunday/monday morning.

But times are that I fancy being at mine with mates and computer entertainment.
How do you say this though, without them getting moody and punishing you for a week with the most effective method?

This weekend, for example, I've arranged to go there from work tonight and I'll be there till Sunday.
Now, GT3 is out, Train Simulator is out, my mates are playing Operation Flashpoint online, I'm getting quite far into Black and White.

I'm not suggesting for one moment that games are a substitute for a soft, nice smelling companion - just there are times when, although you've made plans for the weekend, you suddenly think "Damn, I want to play computer games".

Being 28, some might say "Too immature", I'm not.
Well...I am, but that's not the point.

So, weekend doing adult things with my girlfriend, or weekend being a kid - but not doing adult things with my gf.

Damn.
I want both

Ok, my turn.

Lisa.
6ft, blonde, looked a lot like Darryl Hannah.
I mean really, really fit (I was as surprised as you guys)

Except she was mental.

Took 1-2hrs for a shower, was always 3-4 hrs late for things to the point that I had to tell her to be somewhere 3hrs before we needed to be.

We went to Pink Floyd, or rather I had the tickets and arranged to meet her at Earl's Court tube.
I said "Dont be late, it starts at 7:30pm and I'm not missing any of it."
"Yeah, no problem"

So I got there for about 7pm. And waited. 7:30 and nothing. 7:45 and nothing, I'm on the last people outside.
So, I sell the ticket to a tout for £10 (just to spite her) and go watch Floyd by myself.

She phones being angry, I told her the score and we never saw each other again.

Moral?
Don't go out with mental women just because they are fit.

If I had my way all the mingers and piggies should be put in a large hole in the ground and then fill it up :D

I know it sounds cruel but I wish those mingers wouldn't come near me... Thats the disadvantages of being so damn attractive... you get the attention of the mingers as well as the nice looking ones.

I'll get me shovel!

I was going out with a girl called Sarah once. Really nice... Lovely brown hair, bright blue eyes and a smile that would make even the most hardened criminals smile back.

She had such personality, our play fights were so good. God I loved her...I know 'they' can be annoying and she cost be about £300 in shopping bills, bless her... BUT they're worth it... just to watch a movie together... holding hands, walking in the park.... and er.... anyone here under 18? ^_^

But make sure you don't pull an "mingin'" girl or your mates will alugh at you.... just kidding.... well... to a certain extent!

End of March this year!

Mates from both side of the sex organised a massing drinking night in someones house.

Was going out with not bad looking bird, smart but pain in the backside.

She deceied she didn't want to drink anymore so left early (I never found out till next morning, as I had collapsed). I got no sleep that night and well next morning when she decedied to come round again she decedied she wanted to go shopping and layed the guilt trip on me... I went justto shut her up... it was the worst morning of my life... (imagine being hit with a bus and an anvil dropped on your head... thats how I felt).

I got back and wanted to watch the Scotland game... we were winning 2-1 against Belgium and they equilised in 2 mins injury time (Note: she was moaning through whole match as well)... that was the last straw... I dumped her next day :D

God I hated her :)

HER SIDE OF THE STORY

He was in an odd mood when I got to the pub, I thought it might have been because I was a bit late but he didn't say anything much about it. The conversation was quite slow going so I thought we should go off somewhere more intimate so we could talk more privately.

We went to this restaurant and he was still acting a bit funny. I tried to cheer him up and started to wonder whether it was me or something else. I asked him, and he said no. But I wasn't really sure. So anyway, in the cab on the way back to his house, I said "I love you" and he just put his arm around me.

I didn't know what the hell that meant because you know he doesn't say it back or anything. We finally got back to his place and I was wondering if he was going to dump me! So I tried to ask him about it but he just switched on the TV. Reluctantly, I said I was going to go to sleep. Then after about 10 minutes, he joined me and we made love.

But, he still seemed really distracted, so afterwards I just wanted to leave but I just cried myself to sleep. I dunno, I just don't know what he thinks anymore. I mean, do you think he's met someone else???


HIS SIDE OF THE STORY

England lost. Felt Tired. Got a shag though.

I think someone has let a little bit more slip that they perhaps meant to?

But hey, we're all grown ups here
