I’ve been berated

For all my sporting posts; apparently somebody doesn’t share my appreciation!  (Obviously someone hasn’t seen Ronaldo whip off his shirt at the end of a game!!)  I understand her looking to me for entertainment, enlightenment, and advice though.
She’s dragged herself out of bed early on weekend mornings to trek to Fadó to watch rugby - actually [...]

Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!

The Husbands did it!!!!  Through to the Champion’s League final.  That almost makes up for the loss over the weekend.  It’s definitely put a smile back on my face!!  And now I’ve got two big finals to look forward to next month and both are within days of each other! 
Oh yeah - here’s hoping that Liverpool can [...]

Bugger!

They were close - so very very close.  Are they stumbling now?  A draw with Blackburn, a loss to Chelsea; Chelsea & United are now level on points, but United are ahead on goal difference. 
Maybe I jinxed them when I said the title was United’s to lose.  They’re coming unglued, and it’s not pretty to [...]

I introduced Arsenal Fan

To the Watering Hole; he spent the first few minutes checking out all the sports jerseys hanging on the wall.  I gleefully pointed to the United shirts & scarves, and even managed to not sneer at him when he inquired where all the Arsenal shirts were - looking back, I should have directed him towards the shitter!  Another chance [...]

It’s time for the family to worry!

I’ve met an Arsenal fan.  And I don’t care that he’s an Arsenal fan.  I’m sure planets are colliding somewhere.
Of course, given my track record it’ll probably fizzle into nothing.  But then again, maybe it won’t!  Only time will tell!

Observations

No matter how they choose to present themselves, some people just aren’t comfortable in their own skin.
An innocent comment can be misconstrued 101 different ways.
Some people would rather be miserable in a relationship than happily single.
Sometimes you have to be completely selfish and think only of yourself and what’s best for you, whether you like [...]

Another girlie conversation

prompted the following question “Would you pass on the chance to date someone because your family wouldn’t approve?”.  I’m not talking about dating someone who just isn’t good to you or good for you.  Maybe the person is of a different religion, or a different race, or whatever their issue may be.  How about your [...]

The end is in sight!

The once faint scent of victory is getting stronger, thanks in part to the fine displays of football the husbands have been churning out, and thanks in part to Wigan’s last gasp goal yesterday to hold Chelsea to a draw!  United sit top of the table, 5 points clear with 4 games to go. 
At this [...]

Trust

When I meet someone new, there’s automatically a certain level of trust I’m willing to give to that person.  Having taken the time to think about the people I’ve met in my life, I wonder if I’m too trusting.  Should I adopt the cynical attitude of some of my peers and only give trust when [...]

Oh the games we play

Why is it that when you give someone the time of day, they back into a corner and don’t want to reciprocate, but when you act like they’re of no real importance to you, you suddenly have their attention?  Jesus, aren’t we a bit old for games???? 
On another note, I must admit this whole dating [...]

Stuck in the middle

You have a friend that you’ve known for a few years.  Then said friend starts dating another friend of yours, mayhaps someone slightly newer to the crew.  Straight away, the role of third wheel is yours to enjoy!
Now I know this may come as a shock to most men out there, so I’ll try to [...]

Taking a break!

Enough with the outpouring of grief, ye muppets - I’m not abandoning ye!  I’m merely taking a “dating break”!  I’m going to have some me time, some time with Wonderpooch, some time with friends, and in 5 weeks I’ll have time with family.  
Ye see, after much thought and consideration, it dawned on me that I don’t [...]

Foreplay!

What’s so hard to figure out about foreplay?  It’s fairly simple, all you have to do is get her engine revving.  Let me tell ya that a quick nipple tweek will not cut it for most women. 
And why do most guys spend an entire evening having a conversation with her boobs, only to ignore them [...]

Engaging

I have an acquaintance, who I run into from time to time.  He informed me last night that he wanted to propose to someone I know; someone he barely knows.  His grandfather instilled in him that you don’t marry for love, instead you marry for friendship and let the love come afterwards. 
He sees certain qualities in her that [...]
