Sorry if I am a bit down tomorrow folks. It will be the 30th anniversary of my first real girlfriend breaking up with me.
It's probably the accountant in me but I just remember telephone numbers, dates things happened, any form of numbers really. Anyhow I know it was meant to be as I went on to meet the wonderful Abi my wife and best friend for 27 years now, but I guess we all remember that first time we fall in love.

I'll never forget that first meeting, our eyes met across the room and she rolled her eyes at me. So I picked them up and rolled them back to her. We then dated for a while and I began to think she was going to be the one when suddenly out of the blue August 21st 1985 she told me she did not want to see me anymore. (Big gulp) I of course asked her why and she blamed it on my obsession with The Monkees. Well at first I thought she was joking. And then I saw her face.........

I of course would have been less hurt had she said it's a little bit me, it's a little bit you
 
Pleased to report i am not feeling down at all today. But must admit after recounting my story about girlfriend number one, last seen boarding the last train to Clarksville, has reminded me about girlfriend number two. She dumped me because, can you believe it, she reckoned I was obsessed with The Who.

She was a bit older than me and I know her friends and family did not think she should be dating someone from my generation. I know she did not like the fact I still carried pictures of Lily about with me as they made her feel she was just a substitute. But I think she was actually a bit envious of me being more of a pinball wizard then her. After she broke up with me I found out she had been two timing me with a guy called Tommy, so I remember thinking that I won't get fooled again and shouted out "I'm free".
