Is it really a year since this was last posted? Obviously it is but it really doesn't seem that long. How time flies when you're reading a good blog!

I was going to say exactly the same thing...

This means it's my anniversary too, This was the first post I ever read by DG, one year ago.

I love the way we're getting one tasty revelation about the psycho ex each year. (Did I say "tasty" out loud? I meant "heartbreaking", of course.)

The only observation which I take (strictly personal) issue with is:

Coupled: You don't need to flirt with people in the street.

...which I would re-write as:

Coupled: You can flirt with people in the street together. ("Look, look, other side of the road, black T-shirt! That's you all over!")

Also, did you ever take up those ballroom dancing lessons?

Still bitter?

Can't we all club together - your loyal readers - to pay for a hitman?

hmmm Well what can even add to your statement about being single or coupled. When your coupled you wanna be single, when your single you wanna be coupled.. Its a no win situation.

Can I re-phrase yours Arno?

Single - Like the idea of being coupled.

Coupled - Like idea of being single

I may use that pair next year, thanks Shellers

But only if I need to...

What's ironing?

I'm with Inspector Sands - this is rapidly becoming a post that makes me think "November already?" It's an ace post.

I think I've cracked it though - my lass lives 100 miles away; I spend half the week with her and the other half on my own. Mint.

No sympathy from me as I told you a year ago to go to dancing lessons to find a partner. Ignore the real ball room lessons as they are for the ancients. Go to Salsa, Cuban Jive, Le Rock or Tango lessons where there always fillies panting for dance partners. See you soon dancing the night away??

If I ever decide to go for the salsa/tango/cuban option, I'll be sure to report back in full. Don't get your hopes up, though.

'mint' - I haven't heard that expression for a long time.

There is good story written by Ephraim Kishon, about ideal solution for being coupled (married to be precise). Two flats, two cars, two childern.... two lifes...

This post gets better every year.

Which is probably the wrong thing to say, isn't it?

This is still my all time favourute DG posting, maybe.. ANY posting of anyone on t'internet. Love it!

Fantastic blog I was wanting to link to this entry but can't work out the url for it (not very technically minded I'm afraid). Don't suppose you could give it to me? Thanks

Cheers Katie. If you click on the time (07:15) at the bottom of the post you'll find the link there.

*politely points out the error in number 15*

If I ever manage a riotous social life in my 40s, I'll change it

Great post

In my case:

"Single: There's no ironing to do.
Coupled: There's no ironing to do. He pays someone to iron his shirts."

Fairly new to the blog so first time I have read the Anniversary Post!
I'm with Peter - move on, get salsa-ing!
Are you a Gemini , d.g., by any chance? Long memory of past injustices is definitely Gemini!

Miss being coupled myself,

nice post, really well written and rammed the point home

RE: Ironing - my boyfriend is the only one in our relationship who irons anything because, single or not, I never iron my clothes. Bizarrely though, I am the only one who owns an iron.

great post, great blog. just found it and cant stop reading ...even at 6.20am. thks.

I just found this in your archives and am trying to convince myself of all the "positive" things about being single !!!

I went back to check because of your Nov 10 post to see if it was an anniversary "bugger off".

I'm still not sure because its not the right format or the right way round because its you saying "bugger off" in Nov 10.

Ar well-also read a Tower of London post I hadn't seen before- so all good for me!
