How did you meet your significant other?

[Globalti]

Our first night together was in my Saunders Jetpacker beside Angle Tarn above Patterdale. It's all pretty good fun until you've fulfilled your biological role.

What do you mean by fulfilling your biological role?

Ahem...

Not wishing to be argumentative here.

(Yup I know that's that's a big ol lie)

But ime, there's still plenty of fun to be had after the 'biological role' * has been achieved..

And that was in a Saunders Spacepacker..

Maybe it all comes down to choice of shelter at the end of the day

*if by this you mean procreation..

The Botanic Inn or the Bot as it's known.

I used to live about 1/4 mile from there just off the Dublin Road.

Santa?

My number 2 was like just that. Hid debts from me until court summons started to drop on the mat.
I really never understood what she spent the money on.
When we split up she cleaned out what little money we had. At the time we had a 11 year old so I didn't fight her over the house.
Within a year the house had been sold, the money spent and she was living in rented accommodation.
The only thing she didn't get hold of was my company pension.
Life's a funny thing, you can go from loving someone to hating them.

mine just wastes money with nothing to show for it then moans that we are broke

1975 and I had just finished my A levels.
A lad that I went to school with invited me to his engagement party. The future Mrs Salad was his fiancée's best friend.
We are still together, and so are the other couple who had shamelessly engineered our blind date......

Has she reigned in her spending much recently? Is there anything you do to stop her spending?

For me it wasn't just the money it was the lying and deceit. It took a lot of soul searching before I left as we had a young child.
I've never regretted it and wonder now how I managed to stick it for so long.
After 2 more marriages she's now on her own. Luckily I found Mrs right 30 years ago.
I think compulsive spending is an illness, just like gambling and drink but whilst this is recognised nothing is ever mentioned about the partner trying to keep the wheels on.

Nobody's been on a cruise then?

Ah the Hull to Zeebrugge crossing, as referred to by many a long distance HGV driver

Bit less popular these days. You’ll catch a bug but it won’t be love.

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

I met my wife when I was 19 whilst working in a nightclub in Wakefield. There was a bit of a spark back then but we both had partners. We bumped into each other via a mutual friend about 10 years later and have been together ever since.

Not sure how old you are. but I used to go to 'Raffles' - the upstairs section (on Cheapside), & also Friar Tucks. at the bottom of Market Street

I vaguely remember Raffles but it was Roof Top Gardens/Casanovas where I worked.
