The tale of Alan

[aromulus]

your wrong don, not the wrong post, was asking where had you been, not a word from you for a few days BLISS

Lurking, reading posts...Cogitating...

Re-decorating the flat, laying new carpets, painting doors and frames, drinking bucketfuls of espresso to keep awake so i can chat with "her indoors" at silly o'clock in the morning...
Hoping that by the time she gets here in 2021 the place might look half decent.

And every now and then I unleash my two pence worth of advice on the forum...

Yes - 48 replies in 24 hours - and not a sign of Bertha from Cleethorpes!!!

The ladies who 'expressed interest' were aged between 18 (18? - Even I thought that was 'out of the decency' stakes) and 61. They came from all over the world - Brazil - Mexico - California - West Africa - Vietnam - Thailand - China - Russia - Philippines.

My suspicions were definitely aroused now. Why should all these beautiful (mostly) young ladies want to know me?

I very soon found out!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually replied to all 48 who had expressed interest - and within another couple of days - 22 of them had asked for money.

My sister's daughter's uncle's mum's milkman needs to go into hospital for a life saving operation - and if he does not get 10,000 pesos - he will surely die.

I need 500 dollars for my graduation and then I will fly over and give it back to you.

Am I sounding familiar to some of you lads out there?

I whittled them down and put these ladies into 3 categories.

1. Scammers - I believe that is the word for them. (Incidentally - some even took clothes off on cam!!! Didn't know where to look!!! (well, I did!))
2. Genuine girls/ladies who just wanted to be friends and chat.
3. Hanna.

Cupid has not fired his arrow at me with so much meaning for a long time.

She was a cashier in a restaurant - I have a bachelor's degree and a Master's degree. One of my 'friends' said to me that I needed to find someone on the same intellectual level as I. I replied 'B******s!

Am I right or am I wrong folks - tell me your opinions?

Some people never say the words
'I love you'
It's not their style
To be so bold.

Some people never say the words
'I love you'
But, like a child
I'm longing to be told.

In the hotel we had an ante room. A dining room with a settee. Then there was the bedroom.
I was totally smitten - she was SO beautiful.
I suggested she had the bed - I would stay in the ante room.
Tomorrow we would talk.

I told her - as I had before - that I loved her.
She told me the same - I cannot remember ever being so happy - except when my children were born. But, this was different.
We both walked into the bedroom.

Now from my point of view, skip the next few hours, and begin again with morning after....

We both walked into the bedroom.

Come on Alan, please don't leave us like this, Louella and I are off to Phils in a couple of hours and we'll be in suspense the whole way there. We will have to rush out of the airport in Manila and find the nearest internet cafe.

Louella & Iain.
