I have a new man :)

As you will know, myself and Chris split at the new year after 5 fantastic years (and he will forever be my best friend)

I met someone recently who is, well just everything. We get on so well and can talk about everything for hours or simply watch squirrels in the park. His name is Michael and he is American from Pennsylvania.

So yeah Very happy.

And where or where is the mug shot of the chap - preferably displaying the biceps?  Don't be shy now!  How can you be successful in politics if you're shy?    Congrats, btw. I'm jealous!

He's shy. But i'lll get one And he's not a gym bunny

Ohio, not PA...right? 

Monroe County, PA

Is your butt still sore?

Not my style But whatever happens Phil, don't tell Rick he won't sleep for weeks.

You are aware that isnt Phil...

Never been one for reading the small print.

We demand more forum thread commentaries.  At least we'll be able to tell who is who this time.

What's he doing in Scotchland?

He suffers a phobia of the sun.  And good food. 

*runs*

He's loving the food here He's studying a Masters in drama so found himself in Glasgow.

I just thought I'd update you.

I'm still with Michael and we are doing really well. No disrespect to Chris but my heart does leap when I'm with Michael. We get on fantastically and he understands my uh...'foibles', my gym bug, my ranting about politics and wierd references to TV shows. He's also now watching Sherlock and Doctor Who so that's a win Next week as part of his Masters degree performing in Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London so I will hardly see him all month. I'm looking forward to it only because in his profession he will be away for periods of time. This is the first time this will happen so it's a good test. I think we'll be fine. Random Arrested Development quotes by text will bide me over

Christmas with my family went very well. My parents love him as do my extended family even if he couldn't quite understand what the Lanarkshire lot were babbling half the time, myself included.

He be in London. I'm not. I miss him

[afleitch]

Congrats

Is he a democrat, or a republican, or neither?

Democrat Though he is a little apathetic.

We have talked marriage. Seriously. Which would be lovely.

If you get married you really have to share with us which of you 'wears the tiara'.

Given that it'll be two men in kilts, I doubt you'll find one on anyones head!
