    My Ex and I split up in July, 2003. I've never been happier. If she ever needs to communicate with me, she knows who my solicitor is.

        Well, since my finances were ripped apart by the split, putting me £25K in debt (I had to buy out her half of the house even although she never paid any of the mortgage and I took on her credit card debt*) by the end of it, I thought it better to remove the reference lest it cost me more. * Actually that was partly my own stupid fault for making her a second card holder on my account. Since the settlement demanded she only repay £4K of it, I was lumped with the rest

            The ugly thing about jail is not someone caring about you, but loss of control. Just saying.

              One should never analyze a joke.

                      Think positively, the world is has enough negativity for a dozen lifetimes (I realize that’s slightly counterintuitive but don’t put to much thought into it).

                        I was joking. :) Jeremy and I already carried on the sports thing all the way through many sports the other day. I ended up on the fact I am an old Tennis player (I haven't picked up a racket in two decades though): Tennis is a romantic sport, even when you have nothing, you have "love". don't forget that three strikes in bowling is a VERY good thing. :-D Plus my new girlfriend is nothing like my exes.
