Re: OT: WAY OT: Re: OT: Re: What? the clean-shaven outnumber the bearded?

I've noticed a girl in one of the bookshops I frequent taking a long look at
me, and - well, she was a little scrawny for my taste a while back (at age
17, I guess).  The difference a few years makes ...  Now she looks
presentable - not gorgeous, but presentable.

The only similarity between her and my Mum that I can see, is that both have
dark hair.

Other than that possibility, I don't have a girlfriend, and until I can get a
job that actually pays, I can't see it happening.  (I find jobs easy to come
by - it's getting paid that's impossible.)

<tongue-in-cheek>You mean the stomach, intestines, liver, heart, kidneys and
lungs, don't you?  I could never stomach a girl with no heart (or lungs or
liver or ...) </tongue-in-cheek>
Oh dear me, I must really finish reading Calder's Dead Girls/Boys/Things
trilogy - it puts all sorts of absurd images into my mind!!!
