as the dumpee
Not strictly on topic, as I was the one getting dumped, and it also didnt involve much work on her part (almost none, in fact) but I'll carry on anyway...

Last year I was seeing a girl who was quite a bit younger than me. The age gap didnt really matter, as we were both really into each other, and I was a long term friend of the family so her parents were cool with it. We had planned to go to the Tate Modern in London as there was a Gilbert & George retrospective exhibition on at the time which we both wanted to see. The day we had planned to go on was my birthday.

The day before, I was out with a mate having a pint when I got a text from the girlfriends mother, which read "Sorry, B cant come to the Tate with you tomorrow, she's got a new man in her life"

Charming.

Yes, it sounds like you are bored.
And bitter.

I'm trying to calculate how many gallons a glass aquarium is if it's 45cmX25cmX25cm.

Any idea?

Oh bollocks.
That means I need to buy a bigger one.
Hmmm...

One twice the size.
*frowns*

This could be an expensive day.

55 x 30 x 35 works out at around 15 gallons.

www.calculateme.com/Volume/Gallons/ToCubicCentimeters.htm says its about 53000 cubic centimetes
