fuhgeddaboudit part 2

I even went off topic the first night that I decided to take Jane out for dinner after working with her for about 2 years.

Just as we were about to leave, I got a call from a friend who was having trouble at work,
Just a minor detour took nearly 2 hours and we spent our hot date in the control room of a nuclear power station for the next 8 hours.
I mentioned that I was taking Jane for dinner, so they made her a cheese sandwich.

Believe it or not, she still married me and we have been together for 38 years.

This all goes to prove that friendship can lead to love, but the reverse is rarely true.

PS, she enjoyed our next evening out at the opera house. I suppose it was slightly more interesting than a faulty 30 megawatt steam turbine.

Perhaps I should write a book on dating techniques.

 

Not guilty this time. LOL

 

I agree fully. Myself and most of our friends found their long term partners in the work environment of pursuing mutual interests.
Clubs and bars are never a good place to find a partner,

 

And there's that damn opera again.

 

I find it useful to remember that romantic love doesn't always have to have a sexual conclusion. I've been in a couple of reciprocal love trysts of this kind.

 

I always remember that evening for a particular reason.
Jane went to school in a remote part of Ireland. She thought that the girl who she sat next to in class was stupid to give up her studies and pursue a career in singing and needless to say the nuns shared her view.
You can just imagine her amazement when she saw her ex classmate singing a lead role in La Traviata at the English national opera at the Sadlers wells opera house in London

 

did someone say

opera

 

That is so funny.
Jane may have been surprised to see her friend. But I think that her friend was even more surprised to see Jane at the opera house.

PS. When I upset one of our company directors a few years later. The rotten guy sent me off the run the video walls at a pop concert as a punishment.
I got my revenge by telling the lead singer of the band that I had never heard of him.
Some stupid band called Duran Duran on a UK tour. I was going to advise the NEC to widen the stage door so that he could get his head through, but I think that would have been going a bit too far.

 

Did someone say opera?

 

Don't tell me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's the Sydney opera house.

 

Laugh and the world laughs with you. Cry and you cry alone.

 

Sure, if you can do it as good as he does @2:07

 

You can be Brunnhilde and enter at 7:48.
I just hope that all your neighbors are well versed in Wagnerian opera.
Or will they be pleased when you ride back up the mountains into Valhalla.

I could be Wotan waiting to punish you by surrounding you with the ring of eternal fire (I am about the right age)

A few decades later, Seigfried will conquer the fire ans rescue you.

You can now see that the answers to your original post REALLY do lie in opera.
If you want to see how your life will end up, you will have to watch the whole of Wagner's ring cycle. But be warned, it is more than 12 hours long.

 

...and then I walked into your life.

It's funny how these things happen, how you think you'll never fall in love, but then I just come along and suddenly the birds are singing and there's rainbows across the sky.

 

We knew that the building would never work on opera alone. I was designing the film and audio equipment to run part of it as a cinema,
That was in the late 1960s, a few years before it even opened.

 

Ask him about the moon landing first

 

Because guys are too busy masturbating to date you?
