The sight of bikini and swimsuit clad ladies drinking cocktails on a Friday morning always made the barman’s day and went someway to compensate for the tiresome dull days during the week when hardly anyone except for wrinkly old men and women visited the spa pool bar. Today was no exception, the yummy mummies, as the male staff and a few of the female staff referred to them as, come on the last Friday of the month as it is a ‘Spa Special Day’ where there are deals on treatments as well as ‘2 for 1’ cocktails between 10am and midday at the spa pool bar. It was a glorious midsummer’s morning and… Pročitajte više

Staccato? Vibrato? There must be another word I can use for my Erato poem, Erato, the muse of love poetry, damn her name, she makes it quite difficult for us mere mortals. I have binned ‘Castrato’ nothing very loving about having your balls cut off for the sake of maintaining a soprano.

Over for another year, thank God I thought to myself. Why were these awards ceremonies always held in the middle of winter? Luckily, we men are dressed in tuxedos whereas the poor women are wearing their best cocktail dresses which although fabulous viewing to break the monotony of the ceremony, they offer little if any protection from the elements.

The second dates are always the favourite of mine, the second date will determine what happens next in the liaison. Once the first date over-pleasantries and pretext over false niceties are out of the way the real fun can begin. Incidentally, Janey seems quite a nice girl if a little unsure of herself, both of us had already worked out that we would get along from the site that we were members of.
