drunken flashbacks
argh. so i went to a party at the weekend and was very very very drunk. was introduced to a girl who just happens to be a current colleague of the BEDSHITTER!!! did i smile politely and carry on talking about civilised things, as befitting someone who genuinely doesn't give a fuck and hasn't thought about or contacted the guy for 2 years, including ignoring his phone calls and texts?

or, when she told me he got married 2 weeks ago, did i bellow "MARRIED? MARRIED? I CAN'T BELIEVE EVEN SOMEONE AS DESPERATE AS THAT BORING LITTLE GERMAN BITCH WENT THROUGH WITH IT WHEN HE'S SUCH A FUCKING INCONTINENT COCKEND" and spew out an exceedingly unprofessional rant about him being a cokehead and a woman-beater and an alcoholic and how he deserves to die?

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........

booze is an evil, evil thing. i feel like such a prize twat now! help!!

at least you're not him
i read that story in my lurker days and I take comfort from the fact that no matter how bad/minging/messy/fucked up I've been , I've never been that bad .

Are there likely to be post rant consequences ?

I would say
that having had the experience you had with this chap, you were well within right to say that about him.

Well...
At least you didn't get naked and dance on a table.
That'd be harder to get away with.

EDIT: I'VE NEVER DONE THIS. I'm just saying. You know...

you
are already making me feel a bit better!

i doubt she'll say anything to him (after all, who goes up to a colleague they don't know that well and says, hey, i met your ex last night, she was really laying into you), and even if she does, i don't have to see him again! it's just embarrassing really as the poor girl was so nice. apparently i had to be dragged away frothing at the mouth..... damn russian vodka!

@ kaol - if i'd done that, the place would have emptied so fast that my rant would have fallen on empty floorboards and balloons!

I'm considering quitting my job and following you around with a camera crew rswipe.

Channel 4 would snap it up!

Well there's always an upside.
On this occasion it's that you're the one ranting and not the one marrying him.

@Kaol
I am incisive. Fact.

You're not wrong
On that one *grins*
( Cawl, Mon 8 Sep 2008, 12:34, Reply)

yes
indeed. a true lining of genuine silver around the equally true and genuine fact of my being a twat!

Ooops!
You must have really loved him once to hate him so much now.

If you ever see him again and he knows of this rant of yours, just deny it...deny...deny...deny....always works.

When you say you feel like a prize twat
do you mean because you've realised that you made yourself look like the jealous, spurned ex?

Edit: As evidenced by BGB's response^

that's
exactly what i mean. i honestly don't care, but i look as if i do. and that sucks! nothing says "i don't give a fuck" like beautiful, quiet, dignified silence...

@ bgb - i was in tod on saturday!! it was a spur of the moment flying visit on the way back from family lunch in halifax to put flowers on my grandma's grave and to buy my dad some crumbly lancashire from tod market, but i thought of you as we parked up at roomfield court...

It happens
I told the DJ at my ex-housemate's wedding that he was a cheating fucking cunt for playing everything through a laptop.

Aw! Rswipe
I was bored silly on Saturday. You should have nipped in for a brew.

Denial always works
If you tell yourself that something hasn't happened enough, then you'll start to believe it.
If you believe it, everyone you deny it to will believe it.

@al
I am keen to find out how I would get on that judging panel.

Although with my luck I'd find myself judging a bunch of growlers that smell of sardines and look like a canned ham dropped from a great height...
