Howdy Doody there!

I have come over to express and interest in wanting to get to know you a little better If we are going to spend a whole weekend driving each other crazy you should really know what you are letting yourself in for

I would normally pop over to read you PS, and lurk a couple of convo's but sadly theres no info here on you

Sooooo...*sits down on a chaise long*

Tell me a little about yourself...

Cough cough, well their is no info as i prefer to be dark and mysterious, no that's not right i'm just lazy!

So anyway a little info.

I'm 25 and i live in Leeds,
I work for the Halifax as a team leader in the endowment complaint section (which is far duller than you can possible imagine)
I Like Hurrah!
I like a good laugh although i am prone to severe cases of surrealism when the is flowing
Generally i am an easy going fun loving type guy, although i tend to get grumpy around valentines as i am seperated form my wife awaiting a divorce (yes i know i'm only 25! more fool me i say)

Hope that gives you an insight but if you want to know anything else specifically then just ask (i may not tell you though )

ooooh I always have lots of questions...not all may be relevant, but still...

I wouldn't say you were too young to be married/divorced... Its very sad that things didn't work out but these things happen

oooh another financial ....pssst don't tell anyone but I used to work for Morley Fund Managers (on behalf of Norwich Union) dealing in OEIC's, unit trusts and ISA's...... Now thats thrilling work for you!

So what sort of complaints do you get?....its not the old jumping on the bandwagon... 'my endowment policy I pay £30 into a month which I started 100 years ago, is not going to cover my mortgage, and because it has been highlighted in the press that I might get a fat pay off for being given bad advice, I thought I would phone you and ruin your day'.....

As for valentines day, its all a bit commercial isn't it? Its the same soppy messages in expensive cards, chocolates that you eat only to moan that you're fat and romantic dinners in the cheapest restaurant where someone infinately happier than you are is getting proposed to....prompting the thought ' another one bites the dust'.... Or am I being a little cynical here?

I'd still poke the other half with some sort of sharp object quite hard if he forgot to do any of the above

So do you have any rugrats? They're always good for home made, swimming with copydex cards



This post is getting very long isn't it? You might want to help yourself to come of the coffee above to keep you awake!

Whats the weather doing ooop north today then?

Ah well their's no big shakes at the moment with the old marriage thing, although as the divorce can proceed in spetember this may change!

Yeah and the complaints do tend to be the i read in the daily mail or on the consumer accosiation website that i can get loads of mone form you type. But it's all done in writing so their is very little talking to people (which cuts down on the giggling at people front )

Valentines day is awfully commercial cut thankfully their have been few instances when i was not single on the day so i have avoided most of that.

No rugrats as i was only married for three months! *cough* big mistake *cough*

And as for the weather it's quite pleasant actually very sunny and quite mild (although it may have changed as i work in a big shed with no windows!)

Ah well time for more coffee and another cigarette (dirty smoker alert) methinks!

so you're available for loft clearing work then?

I thought it might be easier to talk here, trust me you'll get more sense out of me when there is no one else to irritate!

Sorry I seemed to have forgotten this thread, my most sincere apologies

and another dirty smoker reporting! *salutes*

there are a few of us!

at ease! (or whatever)

No! no more loft cleaning i had to deal with 25 years of cr*p and my back has yet to forgive me.

oh i'm so narked off, my department is under big pressure from the FSA to get our house in order so we are having a big push to clear thousands of cases by the end of the month. Because of that we have offered loads of overtime to help and lots of people pledged and then weaseled out (i've seen 4 other people so far this weekend!

Grr i need an

I think you need more than a !

Howdy doody! <smiley.

all set for Butlins?

I saw you'd be driving down now due to the wonderful rail service we have

Is everything ok? can we help with anything?

Hey Hey!

All set indeedy, i'll be gald for a break from work (thankyou very much the Finacial Services Authority for making the last month a living hell!)

Yes have decided to pootle down on the bike as trains are either ridicoulously expensive if i went to travel at reasonable times or cheap but invloving running all over the shop ans spending hours and hours in Bognor on monday!

Also i love travelling all over the shop on the bike so any excuse for a long trip is welcome.

I'm getting really excited now!
