Well done. *pats condescendingly on the head*
I have managed to make DECISIONS over the last couple of days. This is not an easy thing for me to do, because I know I have to let somebody down, but I finally managed to pull my finger out and decide to join Montstock chez Tayyabs instead of going to a gig, and in the next half-hour or so I shall hopefully be making a decision on our new flatmate. That will just leave one more decision (and probably a rather difficult phonecall) and then I can pat myself on the back.

are you breaking up with the drummer?

Actually I'm eloping with him
I think I'm going to have to break up with an elderly Jamaican feller.

Get his recipe for hot chicken wings before you do

I suspect his may be marinated in Kestrel Super before cooking
Although up until yesterday I had some slight suspicion he'd died, so who knows?

Actually in this case it looks more ageist
The question is whether I do the gig with his band or take up a regular gig with a young black woman.

In fact, it really shouldn't be so difficult
I know this gig will be regular, paid, and considerably less hassle. I just feel a sort of debt of loyalty to this old guy...or maybe it's just because I suspect he won't take it well.

You have to do what's best for you and your future in the music business.

You mean I can't just base the decision on the fact she's quite hot?

I know you're not that shallow.

You flatter me
Well, email's been sent. I've offered my limp-wristed bass playing services to the young woman, assuming they haven't found someone else in the meantime. Just looked at the venue's website - for such a badly designed website, the place itself looks quite posh...

I flatter everyone.
It's going to pay off one day.

Good luck!

You dumping someone?
You heartbreaker.
( girlinthehole, Sat 15 Jan 2011, 16:50, Reply)

Would that I had someone to dump, Blousie.
Well, actually if I had somebody I could dump I think I'd prefer not to be dumping them, but you get my point.

You could dump me if you like.
I'm getting used to it now : )
