Open your mind
Anyway, now all the fun of having a huge election has died down, we can get back to more normal rubbish to while away the time with.
Now, last week, the more eagle-eyed of you won't have bothered noticing, I didn't log in for around 5 days or so. What I was doing, which has amazed me as much as anyone, was discreetly dating someone relatively well known in entertainment circles a few times (although talking about it on a football chat room isn't quite so discreet - but I'm safe in the knowledge nobody knows who it is or could find out).
It stemmed from my radio work. I tend to think I have the looks and body of an oil tanker than an oil painting, so I was as shocked as a Texan prisoner on the Green Mile when she said yes to seeing me again, after I semi-jokingly asked her out, and gave me her number, having given her a bit of the old chat during the day.
Anyway, it's been very odd. When I'm with her, I think 'wow, that's so-and-so sitting there' and it doesn't really register she's with me.
There was a real Notting Hill moment, too, when we met up with my brother and his daughters one evening. The first thing he said to her was 'F***, you look just like ..." before I said "Hi, this is so-and-so ... " Cue silence for 10 seconds and then a response of "F*** me, did you hypnotise her then!"
It's been really strange but a good strange. And yes, she's visited my tiny run-down abode and thought it cosy, in spite of the boxer shorts on the radiator.
I know there's no way this will last but it's damn great while it does. It gives the ego a massive boost when you see a pic or something on the tv and think 'yeah, she was round here last night'!
There must surely be someone else on here that's gone out with a well known person too (and probably a lot more well known too). Did you have the same surreal feelings I have, that it somehow isn't happening and is some weird dream you'll wake up from and soon forget?
