Funnily enough, Pernille, my dad expressed exactly the same masochistic tendencies when he read my original post. That's what Jesuits do to you.

I split up with G many years ago and now mainly hang out with FT, although he can get rather silly at the weekends. I do miss G’s cross words though…

Unlike Steve (Comment 1) I had to read to the very last paragraph before I realised why Iain Murray had linked to it. Really splendid! It’s true, you see her sometimes and think oh, she looks good today, but the morning after you have to live with the shame.

Funny - but I had a very similar affair which started in my teens and lasted twenty-five years. Somewhere in the Major years she seemed to get nastier and nastier, and at the same time she never seemed to know any more what last night’s footy results had been.

I started seeing T (she’s now moved to Canary Wharf) who was much more sporty, and though we only see each other a couple of days a week I’m much happier.

I went out with G. for forty years. Over the past few years I have been getting more and more out of patience with her increasingly blinkered attitude. The disgraceful behaviour of Gary Younge in the Skandia incident was nearly the last straw, but it is hard to end the relationship of half a lifetime, and it was not until January of this year that I made the final break. I am now happily living with T. from Wapping.

What a magnificent post
All I can say is, if you’re interested in UK media, read this splendid piece by Damien Counsell. PS V. busy and was away for July 4. Hope to resume regularish posting soon. In the meantime, try this post over…

I still keep G in the favorites list, although she’s been filed under “Humor” for a long time now. )

I think it must have been something about John Major. There was a loss of perspective at times in the investigation into the (admittedly dodgy) private activities of members of his government, glad as I was to see the back of it.

What did she say that was “so thoughtless, so spiteful and silly …”? It must have been above the fold, and everything there is usually pretty bland.

If she's “G”, her little celebrity-loving friend has to be “G2”.

Ding! (lightbulb comes on) - for me in the middle of the third paragraph. Ah yes, I was fond of her too, once.
It was mentioning breakfast that did it.
But who is the celebrity-loving little friend?
