nappies, screaming babies, moody
girlfriend.  Nothing to report.
     
    Vicky says…
    What about work?
     
    Christos says…
    Crap as usual.  The best thing about today was visiting
Silver Thistle Funeral Directors.  The prettiest undertaker I’ve ever seen
works there :)
     
    Vicky says…
    Our little virtual coffee break kept me going.  I’d be lost
without those ;)  I know we’re just texting to say what chocolate bar and drink
we’re having but it’s something I look forward to :)))
     
    Christos says…
    Me too :)  Oh, before I forget, I meant to ask you about
Maggie….
     
    Vicky says…
    You mean Magnus? :D
     
    Christos says…
    Magnus?  It’s a bloke?  Adam’s gay???
     
    Vicky says…
    Magnus Pellicci.  Adam’s new BUSINESS partner. 
Entrepreneur extraordinaire.  Half Italian, half Swedish.  Looks like Dolph
Lundgren, but hotter and younger with green eyes <3
     
    Christos says…
    Sounds like just the kind of guy you would fancy.  Hot,
foreign, memorable eyes.
     
    Vicky says…
    He is!  And he’s actually not foreign, he’s from Kilmarnock
originally.  Just foreign heritage.  It’s maybe a bit soon after Ian, but…a
rebound fling might be just what I need.  He flirted with me quite a bit after
Flic left last night :D  She and Magnus didn’t seem to hit it off so I didn’t
get a chance to speak to him properly until she had left.  But I feel like we
really did get on well!
     
    Christos says…
    Seriously?
     
    Vicky says…
    Yeah, he kept trying to tickle me!  We talked a bit and we
like all the same music.  His favourite band is Suburban Legends too, and he
loves to travel.  If I wasn’t heartbroken, I’d probably be really keen on him.
     
    Christos says…
    Sounds like you are already.
     
    Vicky says…
    Maybe I am :)  He asked me if we could swap mobile numbers,
and he sent me a friend request on Tête-a-net last night!
     
    Christos says…
    That’s promising. 
     
    Vicky says…
    What’s wrong?  You don’t think a rebound fling is a good
idea?
     
    Christos says…
    Nothing’s wrong.  I think a rebound fling is fine as long
as it’s nothing serious.  I just can’t believe someone else has heard of
Suburban Legends
     
    Vicky says…
    Awww, Christos :) *hug* I know you’re worried about me, but
I’ll be fine.  You know me, I’ll be keen on him for a week, get my heart broken
then move onto the next virtual crush.
     
    Christos says…
    So where do I get the link to this new blog of yours?
     
    Vicky says…
    I’ll email it to you.  Flic and I have also set up
Tête-a-net accounts for the business in fake names so we can get more
publicity.  She refuses to blog properly so this is the only way I can get her
online.  She doesn’t have profiles ANYWHERE online!  Isn’t that strange?
     
    Christos says…
    It is.  What’s your usernames?  I’ll subscribe to your
updates.
     
    Vicky says…
    Ok.  Again, don’t laugh.  We wanted to take the names of famous
detectives and put our own spin on them – so people remember them.
     
    Christos says…
    And they are….?
     
    Vicky says…
    Well, my favourite is Magnum PI so my username is Magnum
PMT.
     
    Christos says…
    *rolls eyes* Suits you :P
     
    Vicky says…
    Are you saying I’m moody???
     
    Christos says…
    No :)
     
    Vicky says…
    Are you saying I’ve got a moustache then? *slap*
     
    Christos says…
    Don’t put words in my mouth :P  So what’s Flic’s?
     
    Vicky says…
    Her favourite is The Pink Panther.  So she’s ThePinkCougar.
     
    Christos says…
    Now, I don’t know her, but it sounds like that definitely
DOES suit her.
     
    Vicky says…
    Actually it does ;)
     
    Christos says…
    I’ll be an avid reader of your new blog when you send me
the link.  I love reading them.  I wish mine were as popular.
     
    Vicky says…
    Your blogs are great!
     
    Christos says…
    Thanks.  When I have as many subscribers as you, I might
believe that ;)
     
    Vicky says…
    Ooooh, I just
