We havn't spoken since
Back when I was a younger, more fickle lad, I was seeing a nice lady. She had her flaws, mainly being fugly with a brain the size of a gnat. Actually she wasn't a nice lady and I decided she had to go. But being the younger, more fickle lad I was, I'd not yet experienced much in the art of breaking up with people.

So initially I'd planned to, you know, go to the park, possibly phone her, something along those lines which is fairly respectable, I think you'll agree.
Unfortunately, the annoying nature of the girl travelled particularly gratingly over MSN. So one night I'd decided I couldn't take it no more, so just as she had said she should go (but hadn't signed off) I declared that we should no longer see one another for her various faults.
Little to my knowledge she'd popped off for a walk.
I received no reply to my declaration of repulse. No matter, thought I, why should she reply to the evil git I was appearing to be?
Ah. No. She'd left MSN open, and in walked her dad to read my message. Sporting chap he was he went to go tell everyone else in the family.

What happened next is relayed back to me by friends, but I think we all have the amusing mental image of a cheery girl returning from a walk for her entire family to know she's been dumped before she knew herself.

Kept me giggling for a while.
She was not amused.
Damn you MSN!

Pop goes the cherry.
