In case you hadn’t noticed, I’ve been taking a break from updating this website. I know, I didn’t bother to tell you all that I would be taking it. How rude. Well to be honest I didn’t exactly plan for it.

So, what happened??

Well, since my last proper blog post (which I think was as far back as Wesley’s birthday), a lot has happened. I’ve met a girl, relocated to Surrey, and was recently elected as President of Zambia. Well, two of those things are true anyway.

Yes, I now have a girlfriend.

Some of you might remember a post I wrote around this time last year, where I announced I’d joined a dating site. In that post I promised that I’d keep you all updated on any developments, so if you have been waiting for that update then I apologise. There simply weren’t any developments.

That was until mid-August when I started chatting to a young lady whose profile caught my eye. So on the 20th of August I got the train down to Kingston Upon Thames to meet up with her.

The 20th of August was a Saturday. I planned to take her out for dinner then for a few drinks, and get the last train back to London. But you know what they say about the best laid plans, and that certainly rung true because I did not end up getting home until around 8pm on Tuesday evening.

So since then, I’ve been spending most of my time down in the quaint little suburb of West Molesey. I say “quaint little suburb”, actually a more accurate description of it is “chav stronghold stuck in a time warp back to the early 90′s”. But it’s got a couple of good points. It’s got 2 tescos, a subway, and it’s only 5 minutes from Hampton Court.

But enough about that. You’re probably all wondering what she’s like. Well I’ll tell you a little bit about her. Her name is Emma, she’s 20, she’s quite short (about 5’2), with brown hair and green/blue eyes, and she likes to throw ice at people. She’s sweet and incredibly cute. And we’ve got a hell of a lot in common, from the films and video games and food we like right down to tiny little details as well. For instance, if I’m walking with someone I have to be on the left. She has to be on the right.

We also both like dining out, and she is going to be helping me with future restaurant reviews, in fact we should be putting our first one up within the next week or so so look out for that.

Unfortunately she’s a Chelsea fan, but nobody’s perfect. As I’ve said to her many times before, it’s the little imperfections that make something perfect. And I know that she’s reading this so I just want to say thank you babe for putting up with me. I’m really looking forward to spending a lot more time with you from now on, particularly after the 17th of November (You know what I’m talking about). I’m a really lucky guy.
