How would you describe your boyfriend/girlfriend currently? Things you like about them? Pictures? (Can anyone tell me how to paste pics on postings?)

― kimera, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Non-existent!

― Penny Lane, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

She looks a bit like Emmy-Kate Montrose (swoon) except with glasses. She's better at handyman stuff than I will ever be. I would get my head kicked in if I posted a picture.....

― electric sound of jim, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

She goes to school in Canada. No, I don't have any pictures.

― JM, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Penny Lane's answer is rather appropriate in my case.

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 24 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

David is a reconstructionist jew going to a reform synogoue . He sells insurance to small companies ( between 100-600 employees). He is educated to the phd degree.

He is myopic and wears hornrim glasses . He is beginning to get into the art we collect . He never follows the list when we grocery shop, has the tastes of a upper middles class phag with a sunversive streak, he is whimsical and amusing . He is gentle and kind and pateint . HE makes enough money for both of us . He worries about his interweb presence . He reads poetry , likes american cartoons and british sitcoms , he cannot drink gin but can find the best wine for under 10 dollars in any store . He thinks i am a bit poncey . I love him deeply and i am not sure whty , and i am comfortable about that . I am loud and crude and pretensious and think i know more then i actually know , he knows more then he says , he keeps me well . I cannot explain it , we shouldnt be together .

*awww* yes you should you big phluffy phool!! :)

― katie, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Under any rules of logic whe shouldnt be , we are like chalk and cheese as my grandmother would say . But we are and i am happy for the miracle

― anthony, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

a bit like me and my boyfwiend (who Must Not Be Named on ILE as he gets all embarrassed). we are very different but i WUV HIM!!

now you know why he gets embarrassed :)

― katie, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Aubery... he'll love it! (though i fear he's not enough of a fop to merit the name)

― katie, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Wh at Aubrey means to me tho name is diff. It was quite the term of abuse at school, as in "Hey, you Aubrey", "She's such an Aubrey" or "Oi, Aubrey!". Like dullard or div.

― Alan Trewartha, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Someone invent a girlfriend for me and describe them good. A picture would be nice too.

― N., Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Inflatable?

― Emma, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

effexor has already done that joke

― Jeff W, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Well it was so hilarious I thought it deserved to be repeated.

― Emma, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Dastoor, what are you moaning about? JUST ASK SOMEONE OUT, they'll probably say yes. Though I can see your conundrum since in your workplace most of the women look like supply teachers, not Kate Beckinsale etc.

― suzy, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm not really sure I want a girlfriend at the moment, Suzy. I was just idly interested in the invention aspect. I've sometimes known people who have enojyed imagining girlfriends for me. It's quite odd and appeals to my sense of egomania.

Don't dis supply teachers.

― N., Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, My Imaginary Girlfriend is Pulp's finest single so you are in good company there Nick.

There are good STs but did you know how easy it is to fake the qualifications for doing supply teaching (boyfriend's mum does this job and is a good one, but bitches about poor quality control from agencies etc)? Friend worked on BBC doc where they sent this guy into one of those agencies with a fake CV and nobody checked. He was at work in a school the next day.

― suzy, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What sort of mentalist would fake qualifications so they could get to be a teacher? (apart from Jimmy Corkhill on Brookside) Surely you would want to fake qualifications so you could be something cool like a concorde pilot or professional wine taster?

― Emma, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

So what you're saying is that Guardian staff look like small-time con artists, Suzy? I don't see that's particularly a problem.

― N., Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

That episode where Jimmy Corkhill went mental was the best comedy I've ever seen in my life.

― Ronan, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

No, they look FROWSY. Sort of like 'heh heh, you thought journalism could be glamorous - WRONGO.'

― suzy, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What about when Doug ate magic mushrooms in Neighbours?

― N., Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The episode where Jimmy Corkhill takes an E was FANTASTIC. The actor who plays him is gay, and I think his partner is the This Morning weather guy who used to stand on the wee British Isles in the middle of Albert Dock I do believe.

― suzy, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah that was great too. Wasn't Lou "Moe Sizzlak" Carpenter with Doug aswell? And they started seeing the pigs running at their heads and stuff. That was one of Neighbours more bizarre episodes, along with the time there was the cursed stone in Beths house. Jesus what were they thinking.

The part of that Brookside that was the best was when someone was trying to coax Jimmy off the roof and they said "what about your son, it'll kill him if you do this" and the camera pointed right at Jimmys face and he said "kill him, HE'D BE..............LUCKY, LUCKY LUCKY, I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY, I SHOULD BE SO LUCKY". Dear oh dear.

― Ronan, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

And the great thing his he's dumped his medication and is going mental again.

I apologise for mutating this thread into soap opera land by the way. My excuse is I missed several omnibuses at the weekend (Home & Away, Stenders & Family Affairs) due to drinking.

― Emma, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

due to drinking.

T'cha! [or have the grammarian monsters given up on this one?]

― N., Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

But Emma, heavy drinking of a Saturday virtually guarantees you will see Family Affairs the following day - who actually watches in the week? - unless you went drinking in the Hair o'Dog instead.

― suzy, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

N. if you're not sure you want a girlfriend, could you just direct a few this way please

― Alan Trewartha, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I was forced to go to the pub on Sunday but was rewarded by seeing minor Crouch End sleb Neil Morrissey in there.

But enough of my hectic social life, I have just found 4 likely boyf candidates in Metro from the Sunday Times Young Rich List: 1. Darren McKee aged 30 - £120m, 2. Tahir Mohsan aged 30 - £80m, 3. Lucas White aged 27 - £50m or 4. Konrad Feldman aged 30 - £40m. BLING BLING. Suzy do you know any of them?

― Emma, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Context of wealth? But just on names I don't think so. Last time I knew anyone on Rich Lists they were all dotcommers and obviously did not appear on said list the following year.

Neil Morrissey? No sign of Amanda the Knobsucking Cuckolder Holden underneath his table? And isn't he supposed to be cruising Homebase of a Sunday?

― suzy, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Emma you do not need someone superrich , just sort of rich . That way they can pay your bills and there is less feeling like a whore . Like David .

― anthony, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Alan, I am not some kind of Sam from Cheers figure. Maybe a little like Tom Cruise in Risky Business. No, actually even less like that, but I can dream.

― N., Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Context of wealth - no. 1 = second hand car sales, 2 = computers, 3 = industry and 4 = software.

Neil Morrissey was with a young blonde woman who was definitely not Ms Holden. I wanted to ask him how the Bob the Builder live tour was going to work (i.e. is he going to record his voice and let them take a tape on tour or will he be backstage shouting while the man in the suit bumbles around) but didn't.

Anthony what difference does how rich they are make to whoreishness? And frankly if I am getting the benefits of a £120m fortune I don't care who thinks I'm a ho. I would be too busy drinking cocktails on a beach in the Maldives in a designer bikini.

― Emma, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Did i have to say my rationlazations had to make sense , any ways the sun makes me prone to welts and i am much too fat for a bikini.

― anthony, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am not telling you lot! (Unless RT sez nice things about me first you see):CR

― Sarah, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I wish I could answer this thread.

― Graham, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I wish I could talk about whether I could or couldn't answer this thread in less than 2000 words or so.

― Ronan, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Don't I talk about mine alot already?

Hank's seven years older than me and used to wear a mohawk. Now his hair's short all over and he's growing out a beard. It's prickly but I like it. He's even more blind than I am and also wears nerdy, vintage frames. He's hands down one of the most amazing drummers I've ever seen and plays in only two bands at the moment though I'm convinced he's played in every band in Texas. He has about 1500 records (as in vinyl) and is very rockist. He refinishes and builds furniture and thanks to him our house is very swank. He's also a framer and our walls are like a rotating pop culture art gallery. He just bought a 66 Ford Fairlaine this weekend and I know I'll see even less of him now since his little free time will be spent fixing it up.

Besides beer his favorite drinks are white russians and dr.pepper and bourbon. He likes old monster movie and spook show stuff, has badass tattoos, is very gentle, kind and honest and has tons of good, true friends. He's the best person I've ever been with and makes even my dark days happy.

― Graham, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

My boyfriend looks like a pixie and incidentally doesn't like that picture very much. I don't know why. Perhaps I will have to start calling him an elf instead and not even RT is THAT gay.

― Sarah, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Nick's girlfriend is called Belinda Barnyard. She is 34 years old. After a lifetime of ceaseless sexual experimentation she has decided to lavish her considerable expertise and affection on one man, the man she loves (this is Nick). She has a love of horses and insists on Nick dressing up as the stable lad and doing a bit of half-hearted mucking out before making love on top of a huge pile of horse dung, etc. For 'huge pile of horse dung' substitute 'hay bales' for strong whiff of wartime drama.

― Peter Miller, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Well yes, but I was hoping for some kind of outlandish fantasy.

― N., Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Starry - IS that Ricky T in the photo? It doesn't look much like the Ricky T I was talking to at FAP IV. WTF?

If Boyf/Girlf can be extended to include wife - my wife is very tall+thin, Welsh, plays the piano brilliantly, likes jazz and literature and is more outgoing and gregarious than I am. How does she put up with me?

― Dr. C, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

To add to the Dave Q confusion we now have a RickyT imposter (and, by extension, a StarrySarah imposter)! Where will the madness end? Is it an hv/www thing?

― N., Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Are YOU real, Nick?

Why is your boyfriend eating a mutated orange?

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Perhaps, post-orgasm, he is mutating into one.

― Momus, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Or, more likely, the orange is a mutated Alix.

― Momus, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

That might not enable her to pay the rent.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ahem. Slightly regretting linking that. It hardly shows me in my best light. Still, how many of you can say that there are a photos on the web of you apparently fellating a spacehopper/ giant orange?

― di, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

My wife = artist, 35. also = k-rowr. WTF she sees in me I have no idea

― Norman Phay, Monday, 25 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

She is reserved, sometimes secretive, imaginative, petite in size, and is ambitious in the culinary arts. She likes necks, pumpkins, me in T-shirts, books, candles, bubblebaths, and lying on the carpet. I like her because she is able to wield her mutant powers and her humanity at the same time. I also believe that she can morph into jelly beans and mochi, but this is not yet verified.

two years pass...

Okay, I am drinking my second cup of coffee now, it's 10:28 in the morning.

The first thing I did after waking up was call my x-girlfriend, cause I wanted to say "Happy Birthday!" birthday to her. She wasn't home.

Now I am lost in thoughts and memories and shit like that. She was my first girlfriend, it was love, it lasted 3 years and it ended 8 months ago when I moved to another country, 2 time zones away. It is completely over and I'm cool with that, but I'm also fucking tired of being alone. All I do is study for exams, play video-games, work out at the gym, watch football and waste time on the internet.

It is a bad morning this morning for me.

Enough whining, I'm off to the ILX bar. Hopefully, I'll cheer up after a few G&Ts.

Sure I do, she works at H*****a, right? Suddenly the mists are clearing, in fact - ATP, air hockey, you made references to "your girlfriend" but I didn't do the maths until *right now*...d'oh!

Actually, I couldn't say we're firm friends, but we certainly share a fair few mutuals, and the email lines of communication are open...

boyfriends are now 'cringe'

Vogue recently asked in a viral headline: Is having a boyfriend now embarrassing? It argued that across social media, the term “boyfriend” was taking on a strangely dated, even cringe, tone, not unlike the way “Facebook official” now sounds quaint. The idea of centring your identity around a relationship feels, to many, passé.

Platforms like TikTok are teeming with young women publicly declaring themselves “#boysober” – a rapidly growing movement rejecting dating, hookup culture, exes, and even the idea of emotional dependence on men...
