Return of Betty

It has been a while readers, I apologise, it wasn’t you it was me, I promise I will change and put in more time and commitment these days.

A few things to report from my disastrous and inept world here in London, here's your first slightly depressing instalment:

Once again after much self protest I rejoined the wonders of mysinglefriend- once again I was in immediate regret at paying to receive email messages from weirdos.

My favourite of an odd bunch came from David; he had only the one very close up picture of himself which did reveal a hint of home and away eyes and a very ornament heavy shelving unit in the background:

Hello Betty,

So do you like dancing? - what type? I've recently taken up salsa and am actually really enjoying it - albeit that this was recently curtailed by a comedy dislocation of my knee at an 80s party involving a dorset naga chilli, batfink, top gun and a moustache....

Given the slightly random nature of this whole online dating thing, here are some random facts about me:

• my nickname at primary school was Dougal because one of the guys couldn't pronounce my surname and thought I looked like the dog from the magic roundabout...it has stuck ever since
• I dislocated my knee dancing to kung fu fighting at uni - very very embarrassing!
• At the risk of making myself sound geeky, I'm a big roller coaster fanatic, and would think nothing of travelling half the world to try out the latest thrill machines!!
• I'm also a bit of a pyromaniac nut and put on a big fireworks display at least once a year for friends

What are some random facts about you?

Anyway, if you fancy a drink and a giggle, it would be great to hear from you.
David

P.S. I know Kung Fu!

A salsa dancing, injury-prone, kung fo fighter and roller coaster fanatic that resembles Dougal from the Magic Roundabout- Salsa dancing makes me cringe, I am terrified of heights and exceptionally scared of the phrase ‘pyromaniac nut’- I was not convinced I wanted to join him for a giggle or share my ‘random facts’.

I have chosen not to renew the subscription and am removing myself entirely- I mean it this time, me and internet dating are over. (Please remind me of this in a few months whenever I show tell tale signs of weakness in my posts).

I am heading out to London town tonight to sample the real world and not act overly drunk and stupid- any chat up lines to rival my usual Barry chat up line very welcomed at this stage.
