wow pinqu66 you sound just great to live with 🙄
Taken emsz, sorry!
Morocco is a great place for an MTB holiday - it is nice in Autumn to get away from the UK weather. I have been with the people below:

One day I will figure out the dark art of videos. Anyway this song always helps.
Bobby, if you are feeling numb there is probably a reason? So forget the let's play single stuff, go fight and get her back!
Just seen this, as pingu, you jammy get !
I became single again at 39 after 11 years with one person.
Despite all the advice I didn't try and shag like crazy or get her back.
I just did what I wanted to do which mostly evolved around friends and fitness.
She came back and we had a go at it but it didn't work out.
I'm now happy with someone else.
Find and learn about yourself is my advice.
Don't feel concerned that you're confined to a life of loneliness which was my greatest fear.
Things will work out for you either way.

Bummer fella.
bit drastic 😯
Hookers
Drugs
Alcohol
......so go to Amsterdam with a friend. Go out partying, tell every girl you meet that you're a doctor or a fighter pilot and bang everything that moves.
..............OR go and do this
and maybe you will meet some nice down to earth girl that doesn't care for money.
Don't be concerned about being single, life has a funny way of working out....unless you live in Somalia etc.
Go out with your single mates for beer and a laugh
Come home when you want
Ride when you want
After a while things will settle down.
Try and avoid going out looking for the perfect woman nothing smells worse that eau d' trying way to hard
I'm reminded of a screenshot from Facebook I saw yesterday.
xxxx is now single
xxxx likes porntube
xxxx likes redtube
Don't pick up unhealthy 'addictions' in the fallout 🙂
tell every girl you meet that you're a doctor
Don't. It doesn't work, and all that happens is you get asked about what to do about random relatives' health problems.

If you are a normal guy, dont have too much baggage and look half decent your are a rare commodity and will be in demand but take your time
Pretty much the advice my best mate gave me. And he was right.
Christ, if it happened again, at the start of summer, with a bit of cash in the bank...I'd be off. Buy a van. Kit it out. Away you go.
Bikes can now live in the house/flat! Repairs in the warm with beer/tea close to hand.
Don't forget your mates and don't become a recluse. Hang out with as many friends as you can, have a few beers, go for a ride and have fun. Don't dwell on the bad stuff - it was never meant to be. Laughter helps. A lot!
And don't get hung up on worrying you're going to be alone forever. Loads of single, attractive women out there and plenty of ways to meet them (when you're ready!!) - cycling / fitness orientated dating sites are full of mtbing chicks looking for YOU! 😆
What happened? Just didn't work out?
LMAO at Boardinbob's fairy tale post.
😆
Laughed too at the suggestion to go out with single mates.
I is 42, all mates are luv'd up, kiddies, etc.
Lads nights out are a dim and distant memory for my mates.
See Pingu's post ^^^^
(very amusing also 🙂 )
I fear I am about to join the ranks of the available.... Again.
Oh well.
If it wasn't for bad luck.....
Still.
I cycled to work this morning for the first time in 6 years.
Felt great.
Pity though I didn't remember to bring my door pass, which is still in the car.
Life, eh ?.
😉
move things about a bit, move the settee put the tv in a different spot, move the bed just change things about
My missus has moved the furniture arround 3 times in the year since I started working away from home and re-painted 2 of the rooms, should I be worried?

Well, if behave like that, not a massive surprise hmmm? 😆

EDIT
[i]should I be worried[/i]
Not sure.
One thing is for definate though.
Life at home goes on without you.
Looking back.
One of my largest regretts was being on the road for so long.
As this stopped me having the quality time at home, I think a lot of people take for granted.
change the locks
put all her stuff in binbags and leave it out for collection
change your phone number
slag her off to anyone who will listen and if possible persue her through a solicitor for everything she thinks she owns.
men are shit at this stuff.
those of you in relationships, open a new discreet savings account now.
Since i split with my ex who may now be pingu66's current I:-
1) upgraded the bike i had on order
2) got to the joint accounts second to find them closed or overdrawn
3) went mountain biking in greece usa wales scotland and the Alps
4) planned to stay single and enjoy that life
5) met and married someone who is genuinly ideal for me
6) fathered a son
A divorce in my mid thirties was truely start of the best time of my life .
Soobalias.
😯
I can't remember who, but someone wise on here once said something along the lines of;
Save time, find a Woman you don't like and give her half a house..
😆
Still.
At least the weather is showing signs of improving during this coming week.
OP you are 41 and single?
Get onto POF and clean up. Its full of wimin in a similar situation. Just tell them what they want to hear and get slammin'.
[i]and get slammin'[/i]
Because, of course.
Thats all, life is about.
😉
Depends if you have an unusually lower than average sexdrive for a man. 😉
Or if you are a normal bloke.

You are something else.
Is that what you keep Mrs Hora for ?.
That woman deserves a Medal.
Make that two medals!.
😉
To the OP... start training for an IronMan.
You'll never have time for anything else and if you do, you'll be able to charm [s]bore[/s] women with tales of being an IronMan.
None of those women will actually want anything to do with you, but it won't matter becuase all you'll want to do is slam on your compression tights and fall asleep at night.

Hi TSY.
😀
Have a good Weekend ?.
whats pof?
Plenty of Fish?
Plenty O Fish.
Its a Dating Website.
I tried Match, last year.
didn't impress me.
POF was gonig to be my next attempt.
But then I was distracted.
Ponging Old F.....
I was on there for a bit and approched it in much the same way I do everything in life.
I think I had 5 or 6 dates in 1 week.
4 yrs ago the wife naffed of with her new man. I'm now 40, depressed and feel that my life is over, i don't go out anymore and have no interests in anything.
EH NAW! I picked myself up, bought a new MTB went on [url= http://sierracycling.com/ ]Holiday to Spain[/url] for MTB purposes only. Changed jobs. Joined the local cycle club and found a new burd, did [url= http://www.scotlandcoasttocoast.com/ ]this[/url] and [url= http://www.scotlandcoasttocoast.com/ ]this[/url] and [url= http://manxe2e.org/categories/view/3 ]this[/url] want to do [url= http://www.nofussevents.co.uk/online_entry/Tour-de-Ben-Nevis/2774/ ]this[/url], moved forward, she moved in, just spent a great weekend with some riding on my new road bike and then on Sunday farted about in the garden and we drank beer at lunch time in the sun.
Chin up fella. Life is full of cycles only the road changes (I made that up btw! can u tell?)
try "fitness singles" at least you cna have someone to play with for a while.. except that she's better than me at most things, DIY, MTB, Kayaks, dog walking..
😳Joined the local cycle club and [b]found a new burd[/b]
So there I was, 40, happily single, minding my own business, riding my bike, walking the dog... when along came this guy, who didn't seem to mind me doing my own stuff, and who was happy to go off and do his own. I rode Kielder 100, he did Coast to Coast. I rode LEJOG, he rode the Etape Caledonia... I moved in, now we have too many bikes, a dog, his kids on occasion, a cat. We do MTB, kayaking, other stuff and drink beer in the sun.
Life is good. Get on and do stuff - you never know what will happen or who you'll meet 🙂
^^ Hey you two.
Spelling mistakes aside.
Sounds good.
Good for you.

I hope things work out for you - especially as I'm in the same boat at 47...she's buying me out so I get a fresh start, but 23 years is going to take some shrugging off 🙂
I can second the recommendation for Cycle ACtive's trip to Morocco!
Or www.mountainbikekerala.com is the other awesome trip I've been on.
