Reading a piece by Felix Dennis the magazine publisher, made me feel included. Its “labour speak”, but I think to define it would be along the line of “suddenly realising you are not alone in your thoughts”. His piece (Dennis) was about what he knew about women. He is 59, seeing someone but not married.
I do agree with him that married people have destroyed marriage.
There is an “in your face” culture amongst married people, like some form of competition, well we have been married for 50 years, wow, how do you manage such a long marriage? Oh its giving and taking, compromise.
Now therein lies the problem, it should not be about giving and taking, it makes it sound like a bad case of capitalism.
At the moment I am single, I go to bed when I am tired of watching the rubbish that my TV license churns out, I wake up when I am guilty of being an able bodied man who should not spend hours in bed, I eat when I am hungry, go to the gym, go clubbing, snog an attractive pole, and in a combination of sign language and more snogs , persuade her to spend the night at my bed sit.
That is fun and I would like to continue doing so till the day the God lord decides my arse has served its purpose on earth. Is this wrong? I do not think so. And by inclusive, I know somewhere out there, is a woman who feels the same. When we meet it will be a meeting of likely minds, no mention of marriage, just adult uninhibited fun.
Liverpool were rubbish yesterday, and we deserved the loss. I sign off.
