Online Dating and Other Horrors
A review of the best and worst of the week
The ups and downs of your hosts last few days (let’s hope they’re not literally my last few days)
Taken on an overall the week could easily be described as pleasant, no stormy waters to rock the good ship SS Goldeneye - thankfully !
Although there is potential as internet dating has once again reared it’s ugly head 
Plain Sailing
Online Dating Sites
-
I have joined some sites this week though not done any full profiles or pics of myself yet - could have potential for lots of humour ~ naturally I’ll share the trials and tribulations with you my gentle reader
Female Surfers
-
Two days after I wrote this a survey comes out saying girls are taking over from boys on the internet.
Good job say I, if you’re a girl welcome to the site, leave a comment or make a request. Our own Jordan wanted the D&G man so the D&G guy she got
Shrinking Stomach
-
The end is actually insight as Rod’s pot belly is nearly gone !
The six-pack is tantalizingly near
Google Sitelinks
-
Won’t bore you any more with it
Rough Crossing
Online Dating Sites
-
I am not too encouraged by the automatic matches that have been generated for me
This looks like a fiasco in the making
Childhood Memories of Eastwood Avenue
-
Life flashes by and before you know it, it’s gone.
Note to self: Must make the most of things
Freezing Weather
-
Enough already - I’m ready for some sun worshipping !
I intend to bronze the Goldeneye Torso by relaxing in the grounds and taking in the rays this summer - so let’s be ‘aving it !
Lack of Indian Food
-
As I’ve ratcheted up the dietary regime I am now actually denying myself something I want (anything else I avoid I don’t want anyway) curry !
I nearly crumbled in Sanisbury’s this weekend but stayed strong for the final furlong
Chicken Madras, my special basmati rice, nan bread and samosas … sigh !
Being Told I Looked Forty !
-
This cruel jibe was fired at me like a flaming arrow, it was deeply wounding and upsetting causing me to lie in a darkened room for 3 days before I could raise myself from this torturous malaise
Could the, self-proclaimed, Peter Pan of Wybers-Wood possibly look his age ?
Surely not - I was going to look in the mirror to see but decided this was not necessary as the comment could only have been made in jest or misjudgement
So there we go, I could have gone on but was once again reminded this week not to make posts overly long. Never let it be said ‘I am deaf to reason’
He added in the interests of pomposity and verbosity - achieving nothing with the final sentence but increasing the word-count and adding neither value nor explanation.
Let us know what you are up to - do feel free to comment - especially if you haven’t before - you can do so without anyone knowing who you are.
Hope last week was ‘good for you’ and this week even better
Regards
Rod

Rod,
Well dear boy, suppose we must rejoice with you on the torso front, although we liked you better when you were a portly size 12
On the curry front…. are you not aware of LBs suggestion of a curried cauliflower soup…. it’s never going to be a samosa but the flavour might curb your yearning? On the forty front, haven’t we told you a thousand times that a man is in his prime at forty plus so looking like it shouldn’t be too bad, try to think of it in terms of a slap round the chops if anyone says you look 35 
do not feel burdened by excessive years, instead think interest in the bank… not literally Rod, the bank of life we mean…

curried cauliflower soup, much like the girls of my age on FlirtBox, is not really doing it for me I’m afraid !
As to men being in their prime at 40, it defies conventionally accepted medical wisdom but I am happy to say that in my case you’re right
Well the torso is - evrything else is … well…
Cheers
Rod

Rod,
We’re thinking of dying your hair a ‘Clooney’ shade of grey… might do the trick. Women of all ages are drawn to the mature capable sort. Apart from, dare we say it… Flirtbox, have you put any others feelers out?

strange you should mention George Clooney
Go to Google images, switch ’safe search’ off in your preferences and search for
Rod Collins Naked
No feelers gone out yet, it’s a bit difficult to be frank about what I’ve seen so far but it’s not encouraging - though I have seen this in a description for a girl from Grimsby - just going to get the details now … hold on …
I am a slim girl
like walkin
watchin Formula One
curling up on the settee with a dvd or just talking with a bottle of red

Rod,
Living in the closeted world of the Coven, we dare not switch anything off and search for you naked…. instead we like to think of you at a safe distance, fully clothed and gorgeous, keep the mystery element
Don’t know who this lady could be but from that description ask no more, just buy the ring and we’ll sort the rest
even if she’s 95

you’re missing a treat by not doing the above search - the number one result is one of your favourites !
I’ll hold off buying any rings just yet - of course the potential candidate for the vacancy would have to be vetted by others first - I couldn’t possibly be trusted to do it myself
Regards
Rod - late in replying - sorry
