indeed mate. The bar's been closed for about a week now, so the risk was dramatically reduced.

Last night was the only night I went out, and I got talking to the saxophonist of this band that was playing. We had a good time, and we danced to the following band. But come closing time, I had to explain that I didn't think my GF would appreciate me bringing someone home, and so I politely kissed her on the cheek and thanked her for a nice time.

That's actually it.

Three more days and baby's back in town.

I think it is safe to say: I've done it! I've abstained!

Good on ya' mate!

Yep - well done. Glad no-one took me up on that bet - I'd be out a quid or two!

Hang on, didn't I put £100 quid on your 100-1 odds?

Er... wasn't it 100 stang - at evens? ...so who do I one baht?

^^Sorry Tigs - misread your reply. By my reckoning, I owe you one baht. Will that be cheque, cash or would you prefer me to make a small deposit somewhere? (Be nice!)

Paypal?

Don't pay it into Paypal, Ping. Didn't you know that Tigs is really a Nigerian scammer. Next he'll be asking you for your bank account number so he can deposit £1m.

Yeah, 1 million satang. Now how much is that in 'real' money?

As this was frankly my challenge to complete... and there's still two evenings to go...

I think I should take 60% of any winnings if I hold out.

If anybody disagrees, I'm going on the pull tonight and tomorrow night...

No Kayo! Don't do it-ski!

That band is due to play Hong Kong this month.

However the chances of me kissing Kenny "G" on the cheek are remote. Kayo has no shame.

No Kayo! Don't do it-ski!

Funny use of 'ski' there Ping!

^Yes, I laughed!

-ski.

555-ski

I like your new signature Kayo. Don't know about the 'backyard' part of it though; tends to be a congregation point for weeds, which then need to be mowed, which adds an unnecessary element of strain to the marriage:

Her: When are you going to get out and mow that back yard?!

Him: As soon as I've finished this cool, refreshing ale.

Her: You said that on your last pint!

Him: It's Sunday.

etc, etc... divorce.

Oh Ping, that's dead heavy! He's not even settled down yet!

It's alright lads.

I've got a gardener.

So I picked her up from the airport yesterday.

Luton's grown. But it isn't very nice.

Mission totally accomplished. Kayo's remained celibate. (until the back of the National Express bus with GF... )

The was the prettiest thing to ever walk through those arrival doors.

Oh to bring this slightly back on topic:

I thought the Housemate (mine from the OP) was fine with everything. She certainly appeared to be.

I had in the past few days told my housemates that GF was coming back, and we'd probably cook up a nice dinner and have a romantic evevning at home. They both volunteered to be out of the way, which was very good of them.

So in the morning I tidied the living room set candles, set table nicely with flowers etc..., scrubbed down the kitchen, aired out the house, etc...

So I'll be buggered. GF and I got back around Eight pm. Bloke housemate left me a note saying, "Gone out. The house looks great. Have fun"

The kitchen looked like Dresden after the bombing. I walk into the Living room, and girl housemate is there with her entire evening theatre club having rehearsals over supper. In our bleedin' house. Table I had set so nicely had everything shoved to one side. My candles were burning, and they were using my flowers as props.

I haven't spoken to her yet, but I was and still am rather pissed off.

Wow. Was she (the housemate) trying to give you a rather in-your-face message, or do you think it was just coincidence?

...At least the rest of your message is all bright and happy. Congrats on staying the distance!

Don't blame you pal. She is a woman scorned and we all know what b1tches they can be.

^ Yep, that's another way of putting it.

Celebrate good times, come on...

ps can't recall ever using that smiley before.

Not wishing to Bedlamise, but what's the point of this one given that there is already this one?

E: Unless, of course, it is a request to close... or perhaps pin?

Locked would be pinned, wouldn't it?

Yes, you'd think so. I wouldn't be requesting a thread be pinned by using him, though.

Maybe it's a lock to a chastity belt!

55555 Interesting bit of lateral thinking there, Tiggs!

Thank you. Lateral thinking is one thing I'm good at. Helps me in my business!

Kayo, the last post on this thread was over a month ago. For those of us slumming it in Thailand where we can not get Peyton Place on UBC, could you please post an update. My TG is dying to know what happens next.
