No drink driving involved, mineral water. Plus, you don’t want beer goggles on after the last date I had.

She’s a primary school teacher if that’s any help

Keep them coming 🙂

I nearly started a thread before the date, giving you the opportunity to guess what the outcome would be.

I know it’s very early days, a week of txt and 1 meet up. But for once it’s nice to have good things happen.

Different lady 😉

Stoatsbrother- hence I stuck around for a couple of hours and got to find out about her.

The username “choppersquad” is taken on Mumsnet, who’s should I use 😈

I think it’s because I turned her down when she asked for help with the washing. Well she mentioned “Pegging”.

Northwind – It’s because I minced from the bar to the table isn’t it? 😆

Thank you theoriginalpunkrockdad for your continued “support”. Laughing your head off at my continued misfortune is considered support, isn’t it 😛

I didn’t think they wore the mask at that end, but then again that isn’t my scene 🙂

I deleted the ones she sent, you couldn’t see her face.

When she’s decided she is, then we can have the next date 😆

jambalaya

I’m even funnier in real life 🙂

I’m just about back to who I was, the riding has helped a lot.
Back on the bike thread

I’m trying to get my fitness up so I can meet up with the Monday Night Pub n Bike ride crew from off here.

bongohoohaa

😀

I think I’ll just photoshop a picture of me accepting the EuroMillions cheque and add that to my profile 😉

What’s to lose? – that’s what I’m afraid off 😀

I’m more Rum n Raisin

ghostlymachine – She told me to read it, “it’s fabulous”

Coyote – someone in the middle of the spectrum, not infrablack!

🙂

perchypanther – I’m impressed

gazc, I like the profiles that say “they don’t want Players, where are all the nice/normal guys?” The answer I want to scream is “In The friend Zone where you left them!”

I swear I could fall in a Barrel of tits and come out sucking my thumb!

I said in my last post I needed to expand my social circle – I’m scared she would have 😉

bongohoohaa – pmsl

Thanks for that.

😆

I usually buy my yearly subscription off ebay for about £55, for 5 devices/users. So all 5 of us get 1TB for £11/year.

Just checked, Tesco’s Outlet was the first search result on ebay. £55 for Home Premium 5 user.

MrOvershoot – got to love the jelly legs 🙂

Thanks MCTD

Every time I feel like crap, the bike ride makes it better.

All those going through similar levels of crap as me.

Get on your bikes!

3rd Ride The White House to Stoodley Pike

How the hell do you fall off on the flat!!!

Are we there yet?

PunkRockDad

Oops!

The Rock Garden

we made it!

Lunch

View from the top.

2nd ride, with PunkRockDad & JrPunkRock. That flat place known as Hebden Bridge!

worth it for the views

Although some views get spoilt.

Leaving all your worries behind

Cake time!

Update, with Pictures!

Because on your first ride in ages, you need your back wheel to come off. Thankfully at the bottom of a very bouncy decent.

The destination, Nob end.

Did it. Social circle is killing me.

Need a bit more energy in my legs. But it felt good.

Deuce Bigalow male gigolo

I lived in Rossendale, when I set the account up and I have the downhill skills of a Lemming.

Mine were slightly older when we had to do this. There are children’s books on explaining death.

A good thing my (ex)wife did at the time was buy a “Me to You” book. There’s various ones around. It’s for Grandma to write her memories and hopes for her grandchildren. Mine love reading it back.

For those of you wanting the previous 30 years filling in. They’ve produced a load of books and comics under the heading “journey to The Force Awakens” to do that.

I’ve not read any of them so I can’t tell you if they answer your questions.

My divorce came through on 1st October, we’d agreed everything ourselves before I instructed my solicitor. I was given a rough guide of about £2k to get it done.
I pay the going rate for my two kids (I actually over pay) and get to see them at the weekends, staying over one night.
We agreed to sell our house and to use the £15k profit against the £20k debt and I would take on the remaining debt.
All was going well until she decided to get a solicitor, one of those £300 to defend a divorce lawyer. All she did was interfere with the house sale, didn’t return phone calls/emails/letters. Stated that her client hasn’t agreed to pay the debt and various other crap. The only good thing she did was insist on the Finances being settled by Court Order. So everything we’d agreed upon was written up and given to the courts who rubber stamped it. That document states that neither of us is going after the others money/inheritance etc. My only gripe is it cost me and extra £2.5k in letters/emails/phone calls to her solicitor.

My advice would be:
a) One of you get a solicitor. Get the reason’s for the divorce written up, discuss this with the other half as your solicitor’s job is to give the judge a good enough reason to separate you. My Ex didn’t like what was written about her, which is why she went out and got her own solicitor.
b) Get the court order for the finances drawn up, that should stop anything happening in the future. For example my Father died 22 days after the divorce came through, She’s not entitled to anything.
c) The solicitor will include your current parenting arrangements and child support payments. The divorce court doesn’t do anything about this, but it does show that you have something in place in case it falls apart later on down the line.

And the best piece of advice, Don’t speak to your solicitor unless you have to – It costs a lot of money to chat.

My solicitor did advise me to sell the house before starting the divorce, so that IF my ex got a solicitor they wouldn’t have an eye on the £15k and look for ways to generate fees. Not following that advice cost me £2.5k. However, if I’d followed it I’d still be in the middle of a divorce and looking at handing over half my inheritance.

I used Trixbox. The free version.
It’s an Asterisk solution but with a nice frontend.

I’ve got a PS4 and a WiiU. I bought the PS4 first so the kids could play together. Only to find out there’s nack all games that allow local multiplayer this generation. Hence went out and bought the WiiU so we could all play together.
