The gamble is that you will not really know that until push comes to shove. Anyway, it's all academic now, I don't expect to be faced with such dilemmas again. Take it steady Rod Jordan,

'Oh woe is me' to all men, no thought to the women. Wise words indeed, you seem to have ignored the rest of my entry tho!

Time to retire from the game and let someone else have a go :) Regards Rod Jordan,

Stay safe and single! Although LB is right in his first message posted, not all women do the 50-50 thing, some of us have morals and do the right thing. And as for 'We’ve both got that particular t-shirt which shall shortly be exchanged for the new motorhead one!' Lemmy is probably a lot more attractive than any of the internet dates! Jordan Rod.

Having Motorhead playing at my wedding is almost reason enough to get married...... well perhaps not. Given the style of 'modelling' that CJ does, I doubt she'll be blushing - but would no doubt look fabulous. Regards Rod WoE

Are you imagining the nuptial photo ... yes thought you were, wouldn't it be the most eclectic gathering, all of us in our finery ..... you negotiating with OK mag, LB's (the best man) hot tub full of Bollinger and the Motorhead quartet playing softly in the background. Get the feeling that it won't be just the bride who'll be blushing though......WoE Rod, what if she lives in Hull?

We shall thrash the subject out on Tuesday as you suggest but I have to be honest and say CJ Miles is the only hope for me ! And what a hope :) WoE

Now Rod's made a connection with CJ he's going to be a lot happier and in this state he may well find other good things will follow. By Tuesday afternoon the philosophy gang will have thrashed out the subject again. We find it interesting to hear how people with differing sets of circumstances react to the same situations, which is often enlightening. As to the trepidation t-shirt, we all had one of those ..... some of us have swapped ours for more of a designer positive thinking number and jolly nice we look too! Will we get to see the Collins boys wearing their new t-shirts, motorshed wasn't it? Don't worry LB, when CJ and Rod tie the knot we'll finally get to wear our kimonos. Looking back plan A was the best, we knew, we knew it! WoE LB,

When the excitement dies down (as it always does) all that's left is a lot of needless pain and upset. Personnally, I find Rod's trepedation perfectly understandable.

I Know of someone who tried a very exclusive dating agency, it worked really well but was very expensive. The tricky thing is I can get a girl, of sorts, for the cost of 6-10 blue wickeds on a Saturday night in Grimsby. I don't fancy throwing a grand at 6 months membership for a dating agency. Everything else you say is, of course, perfectly correct. I may have a big final consultation with the witches on Tuesday and make a final decision after that. I have to say I am leaning towards abandoning the idea of a girlfriend altogether! Is it worth all the effort and messing about? Regards Rod WoE
