Love letters

Do people still write love letters? Texts and emails are not the same. There is something romantic about putting pen to paper and writing your feeelings down. You can also keep a love letter for years. Its something to read over again years later, bringing personal memories flooding back. Find someone to write to on singlenotdesperate.com

Cool Britannia

The Royal Wedding definately makes you proud to be British. I can't think of another country where this type of occasion would be watched by over 2 billion people. Cool Britannia is on the rise again.

Is it so bad to be a bit forward?

Most women on dating sites wait to be contacted, but men would love them to take the initiative. So ladies, make your choice and get your love life under control - you make the choices and get what you want! You may be pleasently surprised...

Rekindle romance in your life

It needn't cost a fortune to do something unexpected. All the vouchers available now make a meal out very affordable. I like Cafe Rouge and Zizi both excellent value and they are always having offers. Or as the weather is better now, how about a pic-nic. Nip into M&S for some posh nosh that will impress. You could even make it yourself. Here are some ideas from the BBC website

Valentine worries

Sometimes a bunch of flowers from the supermarket just won't cut it. For Valentines day you need to put in a bit more effort. Heart shaped toast, a romantic meal or, if you are lucky enough to live in London, Eurostar to Paris for lunch. That would earn some serious Brownie points. If you have messed up, you can always... look on Single not desperate - better luck next time!

Garage love

You know when you take your car for its annual test and there is that horrible feeling that you are going to get a huge bill? Well this morning my car passed first time! I now have warm feelings towards garage mechanics in general - until the next time the car goes wrong.
I need to get onto single not desperate now!!! See here for an extreme case of MOT testing blues!

Desperate Housewives

Am I the only person that is baffled by 'Desperate Housewives'. I have watched some of it a few times, and lose interest after about 5 minutes. ER and CSI are much better. I probably need to go on singlenotdesperate.com to cut down on my TV viewing! Everybody loves Grissom anyway - shame he has left.

Single not desperate mug

Did you know that you can buy a single not desperate mug? I think it is a Jamie Oliver thing. Odd when he has droves of children and is happily married. You can buy it from Amazon if you feel you must have one!

Liz Taylor Richard Burton film

Rumours have it that a film is to be made about the stormy romance and marriages of Liz Taylor and Richard Burton. Hollywood actors Catherine Zeta-Jones, Angelina Jolie and Russell Crowe have been linked with the staring roles.

A book by Sam Kashner and Nancy Schoenberger - entitled Furious Love: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and the Marriage of the Century - is said to be the basis for the film.

Those of us who remember it first time around will be interested to see how this plays out. See if you can find your Richard or Liz on Singlenotdesperate

Is good enough good enough?

Most dating industry pundits agree that making a compromise over the person you are dating results in a much needed dose of reality. Looking for that perfect match is going to be virtually impossible, so it seems to be best to think of a few things that are really important and stick to those. After all if someone has a huge nose or a bit of a tum, does it really matter? To my mind a sense of humour, generosity and looking on the bright side goes a long way.

Brendan Cole dancing on air !

Congratulations to Brendan Cole, probably best known as one of the professional dancers on Strictly Come Dancing, who has married his fiancée, Zoe Hobbs.

Several colleagues from the show were at the wedding, including Anton Du Beke, Strictly judge Craig Revel Horwood, dancer Erin Boag, Jo Wood, one of Brendan’s TV dance partners and one of the hosts, Bruce Forsyth.

We wish them a long and happy marriage!

Maybe they met here on Singlenotdesperate.com???

Bluebells out at last

Here away from the metropolis it is possible to amble through the woods and admire a sea of bluebells. It really is a magical sight and will stir romance in the most jaded mind. Imagine yourself and your partner skipping through them - corny I know but nice just the same. The ideal time to do something about it is now so have a browse through singlenotdesperate You never know!

Wedding Trauma

We are going to a wedding in Italy in the Summer, and my better half is already planning her outfit. So far she has a Butler & Wilson necklace and, when we were in town on Friday, spotted some beautiful shoes to go with it - bright pink, which will be great for a sunny day. A bargin at £99.95. Imagine my shock when she said lets go back and buy the ones in purple too. Good job I am hiring my morning suit. Still it would be really dull if we were never extravagant. Before you ask, she already has that mug which says find shoes you like and buy them in every colour!

Getting to the station on time - or not

Had to catch the 8:45 to London this morning. About 2 inches of snow fell last night and when I went to get the car out it slid all over the place. At one time I was stuck right across the road and couldn't go back or forward. Smug 4 wheel drive owners crept by, but didn't offer to help.

Eventually gave up, then thought, lets try our other little car to see if that is any better. The snag was we haven't driven it for about 2 weeks, (how good is my carbon footprint!) so there was about 1 foot of snow all over it. Once cleared, it zoomed out no problem and got me all the way to the station. Of course the train had gone by then, but I got the next one. Great western said use your existing ticket, even though it was for the earlier train, at no extra cost. Good job Ryanair isn't running the railways, you can just see them letting you do that!

Got to London, no snow, but people dressed ready for a hike up Everest - we country folk know what real snow is!!!

Arthur Daley eat your heart out

With all this snow I dug out my sheepskin jacket. Old and musty it may be, but it certainly keeps the drafts out. All I need is a cigar, a mark4 Jag and a trilby and I will be the man himself. Imagine my surprise when people like Kate Moss are donning their sheepskin jackets too. Wow I am the height of fashion!

Oh no! the G-Spot is a myth!

After extensive research it seems that the G-Spot, beloved of 60s sexperts doesn't exist. I have been hoping to come across one at some time, but so far no luck. Oh well seems like I was wasting time....
