Pre-Tension Thursday

No daily thread? Tsk tsk. I've taken a few days off work and today is a Do Nothing day. Been listening to a lot of Half Man Half Biscuit.

Good morning!

I went on a date last night and it was good but he’s also 22… I can’t decide if that’s too young

That isn't THAT much younger than you, is it? I say go for it unless there's a significant gap in maturity that becomes apparent.

Good afternoon all, I was a bit ill overnight and had a crap sleep so I've taken the afternoon off - currently enjoying CAFÉ CULTURE

6 years. And he doesn’t seem immature at all to me so you’re right. I guess it’s just a knee jerk reaction to the number

I mean, this is advice from someone who had a 7 year age gap relationship, then decided to trade in for an EVEN YOUNGER MODEL.

Though I definitely don't think that should be a deal breaker, though he has graduated from Uni right? I think being at different stages of life like that would be much tougher than just a difference in years.

(ZG and I having that age gap, and my boyfriend being younger than ZG, are two accurate points from the above post )

 

[AlgoAlex]

Well a 7 year age gap has been no issue for the past 14 years for me

!

It seems like he graduated 2 years ago (I think). And we’re pretty much in the same stage of life. I think I’m going to see him again

And plus I need to find PADAM PADAM relatable for its first weekend

 

[Dark Carnival]

I think I just had the perfect nap

 

[Indie]

Turns out i am a NICE PERSON. Helped a foreigner navigate the frankly quite confusing train station ticket machines before showing him to his platform. I made a friend.

I don't know what's come over me.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

I don't know what's come over me.

That's certainly one way to say thank you.

Ditto me and 25

And I think @Sheena has a 7 year gap as well

But we're all the younger ones

Yup.

But then how much was there between me and cwej…

When are you going to get married? I've given up on @Diggi-lol Diggi-ly

It doesn't matter if I do or I don't. You won't be getting an invite

That's not the point, you're not getting any younger and I need to know you're not going to go to hell for living in sin.

Happy with hell. Who on earth would want to go to the other place?

If we ever get around to it, it’ll be a book an afternoon off in and out no fuss type affair

 

[jivafox]

I'm a seven year gap as well. I'm the older one though

Hello from Naples, Mopsy.

The men are gorgeous, the sights are great and the pizzas are BANGIN.

Yes, mopsy, I’m the ZADDY!

That’s exactly what we did (apart from the fact he also had stage 4 lymphoma so we also did it to make things ‘easier’ legally)

 

[jyxz]

And he’s 6 years older

 

[Sheena]

So I’ve spent the entirety of today clearing out my Mum’s house. People have been taking ANYTHING (and I mean ANYTHING) I’ve left outside. I caught one old BAG saying to her daughter “oh she must have died, but that’s good as they’ll be getting rid of all sorts”

I popped out from behind the recycling bin with a cheery “oh she’s not dead at all, actually, but there will be more so don’t worry, pop back later to see what other bits and bobs you can nab”.

Fucking GHOUL.

Have you been to the Cappella Sansevero to see the statue of the Veiled Christ? It's breathtaking.

Saturday morning!

Tomorrow it's Vesuvio climbing time.

P.s. working hard on making sure "banging" and "gorgeous" get swapped soon.
