It’s going to come back to haunt me…
Lying in the arms of a newly acquired (via the sadly defunct “casual relationships” section of gumtree) lady friend, our nocturnal athletics had been soundtracked by the popular beat combo of the day, the nu-folk outfit Mumford & Sons. Pleasant enough background music, but generally I prefer things a little rockier. Also, the whole nu-folk thing is a bit twee, and quite popular at the moment (cf. Florence and the Machine, Laura Marling etc); so worthy of distrust in my continuing campaign against being trendy.
However, I managed to suppress this, and hoped the relationship would turn from “casual” to serious (proper boyfriend/ girlfriend stuff) – in hindsight, I really fell for this girl.
Unfortunately, the relationship didn’t work out; and I have a sneaking suspicion that those acoustic guitar and banjo wielding bastards are going to make it big, reopening that wound to rub salt into it, every time a song of theirs is played on the radio…
Apologies for the lack of funnies – she dumped me, and I’m still slightly bitter!

It's only 2 years of registered lurking
I'd been an unregistered lurker for some time before that...
