Love, like, hate or dislike

[Henry P]

Jews, who passed it on to Catholics

[Maryd.]

Henry... You crack me up... Stop it, my tummys about to explode.

[Henry P]

it's true!

[Maryd.]

Says who?

[Henry P]

says the fount of all wisdom

[Maryd.]

And who invented - Wisdom?

[Henry P]

I don't know, but he gave me a small amount

[Maryd.]

I think he gave you plenty. Mwah

[Henry P]

not enough

[Maryd.]

Well your still younge enough to acquire some more.

[Henry P]

i hope so

[Maryd.]

I have a lot to learn

[Henry P]

we all have

[Maryd.]

You can be my teacher

[Henry P]

my pleasure, my dear

[Maryd.]

Well it's what you are best at, teaching.

[Henry P]

i'm even better at talking and being myself

[Maryd.]

You and me both... I love to socialise but I am happy being alone.

[Henry P]

just like me

[Maryd.]

I can spend up to 5 -10 hrs alone and not notice it...

[Henry P]

but we need other people too

[Ian The Poet]

The Professionals.

[Henry P]

the tv series? dated crap

[Maryd.]

I love Lucy?

[Henry P]

i remember liking it when I was a boy

[Maryd.]

Me too...
Here's Lucy?

[Henry P]

i can't tell them apart

[Maryd.]

Here's Lucy, was the one where she worked in the office... with her brother-in-law
I Love Lucy, was the one where she played alongside her ex-husband, Dezi Arnez.

[Henry P]

so i remember and like them both

[Maryd.]

Me too... I looked up to Lucile Ball growing up. I don't know it it was the comedy or if it was the fact that she left this man that beat her... I just know I like her a lot.

[Henry P]

lotteries?

[Maryd.]

Love if I win.

Strong winds?

[Henry P]

hate
dreams?

[Ian The Poet]

Love. (Did you know you can control your dreams, I read about it somewhere, and it works, I've tried it. Google it.)
Nightmares.

[Henry P]

hate.
underground trains?

[Maryd.]

Love. (Did you know you can control your dreams, I read about it somewhere, and it works, I've tried it. Google it.)
Nightmares.

Really, will have to check it out.

hate.
underground trains?

Dislike, am a tad claustrophobic.

Double decker buses?

[Henry P]

like tube trains and double-decker buses. Do you have them in Melbourne?

[Maryd.]

Trains, trams but the double decker buses are a novelty.

[Henry P]

There was a runaway tube train in London yesterday, but somehow a tragedy was avoided. There were no passengers because it was justthe locomotive and it was on a line which was shut for repairs

[Maryd.]

Lucky...
That could have veen a tragedy.

[Henry P]

A near thing

[Maryd.]

Science competitions?

[Henry P]

never been in one

[Maryd.]

No... My girl was the first for me too.

[Henry P]

airports?

[Maryd.]

Like if I am greeting, hate if I am seeing someone off...

[Henry P]

I like them if everything works but being stuck in one if it doesn't is a pain

[Maryd.]

True... When do you think you will fly again?

[Henry P]

I don't know. I don't intend to go to Poland unless I'm invited to a special occasion. My wife's nephew and niece are dating so there might be a reason in the foreseeable future

[Maryd.]

Weddings... I miss them... No one gets married anymore. Most people I know live in a de facto relationship. So sad...

[Henry P]

They tend to get married later as well

[Maryd.]

Doesn't make sense... What's the point, all those years living that way...

[Henry P]

I think they test each other out before they make the legal commitment of marriage

[Maryd.]

What sort of rubbish is that? That is what dating is for...

[Henry P]

Yes, but they want to see what it's like to live with someone first. Some don't believe in marriage anyway for some vague philosophical reason.

[Maryd.]

On line love?

[Henry P]

Like very much.

[Maryd.]

Off line love?

[Henry P]

even better

[Maryd.]

Fake love!

[Henry P]

hate.

[Maryd.]

Yes... hate.

[Henry P]

hunting for sport?

[Maryd.]

Men!!!

[Henry P]

What every one?

[Maryd.]

Every last one of them... I save none of them... They are all creeps... I am thinking of batting for the other team now...

[Henry P]

which team is that?

[Maryd.]

Darling the feminine kind...

[Henry P]

some of your team-mates are worse than the men

[Maryd.]

And you know this how????

[Henry P]

from bitter experience of the b*tches I worked with

[Maryd.]

Ouch... But at least they just b_tch... Men do a whole lot more than that.

[Henry P]

So did the b*tches

[Maryd.]

Ok... What is this battle of the genders?

[Henry P]

Some women and many men want to dominate their partners, who won't have it. The ideal of complete equality and partnership is forgotten amidst the resentment and rivalry

[Maryd.]

So what do you suggest Henry?

[Henry P]

Complete equality and a sense of partnership, rather than superiority and inferiority.
Too many people marry to exploit each other

[Maryd.]

Spoken by an experienced man.

[Henry P]

I'm afraid so

[Maryd.]

Same?

[Henry P]

[Henry P]

never done it. Have you?

[Maryd.]

No... I am scared of the snakes and creepy crawlies.

[Henry P]

I prefer a clean hotel bed

[Maryd.]

Yes, me too. I want to put a 'do not disturb' sign up, a a couple of drinks form the mini bar and cuddle up with my soul mate... Yep... One can dream.

[Henry P]

You'll be in a few hotels next year

[Maryd.]

Yes... Do you know Henry I have never left Australia...

[Henry P]

yes, I know.

[Maryd.]

I am getting some huge butterflies in my stomach.

[Henry P]

look forward to it and don't be nervous

[Maryd.]

NO, I am excited, not nervous.

[Henry P]

autumn?

[Maryd.]

Like autumn, but love spring.

Spring?

[Henry P]

like, but prefer summer
The Commonwealth Games?

[Maryd.]

Can't stand them... No offence, but so overrated.

The Olympics?

[Henry P]

Better, but a waste of miney and a massive corruption opportunity.
Oz came top of the medals table by a mile despite the Delhi belly. What is it with your and sports?

[Maryd.]

I hate sportsmen... They say that sports people are good people... But they aren't, they are all competative and nasty if they don't win... To top that off, it's an excuse to get stupidly drunk after a winning and reep havoc... Stupid, stupid, stupid.

[Henry P]

That puts sportsmen in their place. I think I agree

[Maryd.]

Sorry... I haven't met a sportsperson, who hasn't been snappy about their loss.

[Henry P]

It's a competitive thing

[Maryd.]

Yes, well it's stupid...

birthdays?

[Maryd.]

Dislike... Sorry nothing good ever happens on my birthday. I'm always depressed.

[Henry P]

I had a miserable one this year too

[Maryd.]

Mine is around the first week of January and every man and his dog, expects a big party so they can eat and drink and have a good time, whilst I cook, clean and run around for them. Just to hear them whinge if something is not to their liking. So depressing. It's been the past 4 yrs now, that I eat dinner out on that day. This way I don't have to listen to whinging.

[Henry P]

you shouldn't have to slave on your own birthday

[Maryd.]

I hate that...

Christmas?

[Henry P]

Like, though last year was miserable too

[Maryd.]

Yes... Yours and mine both.

[Henry P]

We're a sad pair

[Maryd.]

I know... Something's got to give!

[Henry P]

does it?

[Maryd.]

Yes, it has too... Life has to get better. I always say, when you are at your lowest, the only place you'll go, is up.

[Henry P]

the only way is up?

Yes... And I am at my lowest point. So I'm looking up Henry. I am looking up.

Reading late at night?

[Henry P]

dislike. I go to bed when completely clapped-out, so I couldn't read there anyway

[Maryd.]

I like to read in the morning. It's quiet and I am alert.

[Henry P]

I read my paper in the morning, and my book on the toilet

[Maryd.]

Ewwww....

[Henry P]

Currently a science book, The Language of the Genes. Aussie aborigines originate in Africa apparently, and Tasmania was once linked to Oz

[Maryd.]

I didn't know about the aborigines but I kind of figured as much with Tassie...

[Henry P]

and the citizens of Melbourne evolved from wallabies

[Maryd.]

He thinks is she gullible enough to believe that?

[Henry P]

lotteries?

[Maryd.]

Like if one wins.

[Henry P]

same here

[Maryd.]

I spend years playing and have won minimal prizes

[Henry P]

The most I won was £80+

[Maryd.]

Do you know what that is in Aussie notes?

[Henry P]

A$130?

[Maryd.]

That's not bad.

[Henry P]

that was years ago. Fewer people play now but it seems even harder to win a minimum £10

[Maryd.]

Yes true.

Slippers?

[Henry P]

like, but I use some leather slip-on sandals round the house. They last ages

[Maryd.]

So do I... So weird. Mine are black. Freaky.

[Henry P]

so are mine. They've lasted two years after I bought them for Sardinia

[Maryd.]

Lucky you. Mine are new, but I bought them from a little cheap store, locally.

[Henry P]

Second-hand shops?

[Maryd.]

They're good for books. So like

[Henry P]

me too

[Maryd.]

Walking along the beach

[Henry P]

love. I like to see the sea each year. This year it was in Cornwall

[Maryd.]

Did you enjoy it?

[Henry P]

very much

[Maryd.]

But you don't swim.

[Henry P]

no, but I love to roam the beaches and get my feet wet

[Maryd.]

I loved to walk along the beach... Sigh

[Henry P]

How far is it to the sea there?

[Maryd.]

Depends... If you want an average beach, it's 45 minutes by car. But it's almost an hour and a half to get to one worth while.

[Henry P]

about 2 hours here too

[Maryd.]

So unfair... :(

[Henry P]

yes. I love it

[Maryd.]

Do you like to walk along the beach at night?

[Henry P]

only if i can see where i'm going

[Maryd.]

I love it... The last time I walked along the beach at night, was 18 years ago... I miss it :(

[Henry P]

I never have, not even in Italy

[Maryd.]

So sad... What a big loss. It's the most beautiful time. All one can hear is the waves weaving in and out... Nobody is around. It's the most romantic feeling.

[Henry P]

it must be

[Maryd.]

If you are with the right person, of course.

[Henry P]

of course

[Maryd.]
