Au Pairs
“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.” -
OT - I met a girl at uni - took her cherry which meant she wanted a deep relationship but all I wanted was a regular bonk - we stayed together on and off for a few years, after which our ways parted and she went au pairing in the USA, she bonked the husband of the family she was staying with (apparently it was pretty much what all the English au pairs were doing) ended up marrying some guy out there but eventually divorced him for wanting to do some weird tulip ( she wouldn't elaborate) and now lives in Hawaii & I still get an occasional email from her - anyway I don't understand why young wimmin would want to sign up for looking after someone else's kids rather than doing say bar workHow fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think -

She'd been bonking a classical musician while out there.
And after a weekend away he returned to give her a dose of the clap.
Which was a kind of culture she wasn't expecting.
Needless to say, that relationship ended quite abruptly.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
