I think I hate romantic love. People who want to be the be all and end all to another. Aliens that jump up and stick to your face. People are miserable when they're looking for it, when they're in it, and when they lose it. The only time they're happy is when it's not in the picture at all.
Lust is what most people feel, and call it love. If there is no lust, they call it platonic, brotherly or sisterly. As if that was not the real thing. So it has to be coupled with lust. But it is the lust that drives it. The hell with the whole thing. If only you could get a reliable supply, heroin would be a better way to get your euphoria.
Women want to be the centre of attention. They cannot stand to see their man do anything that does not involve them. Play the banjo - forget it! (cf. Sex in the City.) Men, try and play a guitar, and see if your women don't make a point of coming and interrupting you. It's as if they think your time is being wasted, time that they could make better use of.
The real love is the one you don't know about, until something happens. Then you miss it. That's the real thing. There is no talking in love. It is mute. All talking is anti-love. The repetition of hollow words is fraudulent.

I take it that young Malachy has been rebuffed yet again by Miss Saxonheart.
He could have saved himself much heartache by glancing down at her shoes. She wears the lace-up variety.

I have been to Amazon.com and ascertained that the aforementioned "book" is 3,967,065th on their best sellers list. It has sales to date of 3 copies and readers' reviews by -ahem - Francisco Geraldo, Geraldo Franco, and Frank Gerald.
Mr Dunhill is a colleague. Lace-up shoes are comfortable. Please desist from smutty innuendo.

And by the way...I find your advice to anyone recently returned from tropical climes who may be suffering from the side effects of prescription drugs or slack kitchen hygiene to drink "the first issue of the day of their own urine" particularly offensive in the pages of a family newspaper.
And no, I don't care what Gandhi used to do. What Gandhi used to do and what our fragrant American colleague from Hackney ought to do (i.e report to a 'proper' doctor) are separate issues (no pun intended).

Aha.."our fragrant American colleague", female, of course. I hope that she has noted your footwear preference and doesn't mistake the intent of your apparent solicitous attention re her reaction to mefloquine.

This reminds me of my days in the Merchant navy. We were always advised when going on shore leave to check on the "lady's" shoe size first. Anything over size 6, allied with any suspicion of an adam's apple was best steered clear of unless one was prepared for surprises. Of course in most dock ports it was the rule rather than the exception and one made the best of it. I've always wondered if Bangkok was named by a dyslexic sailor because of it.

I am sickened by comments of the Herald journalists, and will be cancelling my subscription. Those comments about Bangkok, are nearly as bad as this sick and horrifying example: http://www.swishcottage.com/2001_06_01_swishcottage_archive.html#4172940

That sounds very much like someone I had knowledge of in Piraeus, although the chap was calling himself Marcia at that time and wasn't at all cheap (in the financial sense).

This behaviour is almost unheard of in Willesden but I do recall something similar about 20 years ago. I prescribed Savlon and a few days bedrest and suggested that the gentleman sleep with his hands in boxing gloves to lessen the temptation to abuse himself.

Ed,
I am seriously considering my position at this once-revered organ. The bestial nature of this correspondence is shocking. I have read Mr Majority's story time and again and I am sufficiently aroused to consider discussing my position here at the Herald with my long-term roommate Eugenia this evening. I trsut her unsullied perspectives. I no longer trust my own. I feel dirty, frankly.

Ah, Eugenia Danvers I presume, doyenne of the Willesden literati and infamous for her stout footwear and tweeds.
Mmm.
