Hi BB - nice to see you again. I went to the wedding of an acquaintance and said to my son who was with me at the Spiritualist church, I recognise that chap over there, with the two lads, the one who looks up himself!! lol At the reception he asked my friend my name and said he remembered me, cos he used to go out with my old school friend and then neighbour, she dumped him and I gave him tea and sympathy. Turns out he was my newly wed friend's hubby's stepbrother. Started going out nearly 10 years ago, come Sept. Not a good idea!

Couple of my mates took me out to a pub, (never been to one before in my life) um um,(clears throat), One of my mates knew him and he came over to talk to her. After he left said to mate 'Who the H#LL was that', she said 'Why you interested' then I replied 'H#LL no not with that long haired hippie'. married him 14 months later and been married for 31 years. lol

i went to meet mates in a nightclub. gave everyone i knew a hug then saw a face i didnt know. he was obviously with all my crowd, but i had never seen him before. not wanting to leave him out i just said 'i have no idea who you are but hello' and threw my arms round him. he says at that moment he thought that i was very nice but thought that wouldnt be interested in him. it took me about three months of pulling the rope in so to speak before we actually got together! that was 2 1/2 years ago (been engaged 2yrs!) tina x

At a mutual friends party in Dec 81. I told him that I would be 18 in a few days, he told me he would be 20 in a few days....It turned out that we shared the same birthday and have now been celebrating it together for the past 25 years.
