It was all Little Mr Largo's fault.golfaddick said:

I don't suppose she ever mentioned what holiday tat forums or gangster rap forums she posts on?
Really want to read her version of this vacation.
I may have missed something at the beginning....is this the first time you've met up since last year ??? If so, what made you go on holiday for 2 weeks with someone you hardly know (apart from the obvious) ??3 -
It was just "the obvious". As @idlehans suggests, Little Mr Largo made me do it! Knew it was a gamble, but appearance-wise I was punching above my level, plus I'd had a year of on/off messaging from her and she seemed really nice. She's a legal secretary, nothing in her messages to suggests anything sinister. Even in the run up to the holiday, it was all "I can't wait to spend every day on the beach" sort of stuff. Normal things.golfaddick said:

Discussed it with my mates beforehand and they all said I should go for it but with the caveat that I should have some sort of ready-made escape plan in place in case it turned out badly. Unfortunately, I ignored the key latter piece of advice and just dived in, todger first.
Never done anything this adventurous/foolhardy before, and lessons have certainly been learned the very hard way! Believe me, I'll be asking myself wtf I was thinking for years to come.
From now on, it's The Millers for me.16 -
Fabulous stories Mr Largo. Personally I'll be really disappointed next year if you don't take her up east.3

Great stuff largo
Next year, get her over here around Easter time for Peterborough followed by Walsall. See how she does shopping there

Perhaps the cheap seats sold out, leaving only more expensive alternatives.Covered End said:

Not overnight but in a week. Maybe there was only a couple of rows at the lower price etc, who knows, but I've booked the same block.Covered End said:

Only £28 inc fees etc to £40.50 so not the end of the world, but still a bit annoying (hence it being in this thread!) to pay £25 more for two tickets than when I looked the week before.0 -
Could be that couldn't it. Gives them the opportunity to advertise prices "From £28.00..." I suppose, even if it's only a dozen seats?North Lower Neil said:

If we accept that this woman is a fabulous physical specimen she really has to be a gymnastic bedroom genius with an insatiable libido to make up for the total failure as a sentient adult. Great reading tho Mr L.MrLargo said:Further Holidays from Hell update.
A slow shopping day yesterday. Early afternoon we stopped off in a watch shop to buy one of those Casio watches that people who grew up in the 80s had as their first watch. We also considered buying a blingy fake gold monstrosity that looks like it fell out of one of those electronic crane games on Brighton pier, but I think the look of horror on my face might have given away the fact that my "it's alright" comment wasn't entirely sincere. We then took a ferry to the picturesque island of Cozumel - on arrival, we disregarded the attractive colonial buildings, bypassed the appealing seafront bars and restaurants and dealt with the far more urgent business of nipping into a souvenir shop to spend 48 minutes (yes, I was counting) picking a fake Louis Vuitton handbag and a fake Burberry rucksack.
I think I've now accepted my fate. I'm too British to do a runner, so my only chance of an early escape is if she says something excessively offensive, a racist comment for example, which would enable me to storm off in disgust and retain the crucial moral high ground. That seems unlikely though, based on the fact that, as I write this, we're sat on our balcony listening to some filthy gangster rap song which started with the line "I like to start the day with pussy for breakfast".
My coping mechanism is to maximise time spent alone. I usually wake around 8.30am, she starts stirring around half 9. When I detect her waking up, I resume the sleeping position and pretend to be asleep until around 11. My greatest triumph was this afternoon. She went to get her nails done this afternoon and I said I'd go for a drink and meet her in whatever bar I ended up in. I then followed her covertly to the nail place just so that I could make sure I was somewhere at least a 20 minute walk away when she finished. When we went to the beach later on, after an hour or so I went to buy a bottle of water and stopped on the way to the bar and just stood in a secluded corner for 3 minutes enjoying the silence.
What puzzles me most is that I've been awful company and she doesn't even seem to have noticed. The ability to feign enthusiasm for anything which doesn't involve her going somewhere and me not coming with her has long since passed. I think she must have a thing for the strong silent type, and what I lack in strength, I'm certainly making up for with silence. I think she interprets my suppressed fury as being moody and mysterious.
Anyway, there's so much more I could add. I've not even touched on the bizarre religious angle. And she's bought two bandanas since I started writing this. I'll save the details for my next cathartic rant/cry for help.2 - Sponsored links:

Take away the shopping and gangsta rap and she sounds like the dream woman. Think you’re abandoning this relationship too early. Keep messaging her and one day throw into the chat whether she has a friend or friends who would be willing to entertain LML in a threesome etc the next time you visit.MrLargo said:

I'm sorry mate, I'm done with her, I can't do it anymore. I just wanna get back to my safe place as quickly as possible - falling into the arms of a slightly overweight lady who does all her shopping online and thinks that Magic 105.4 is "a bit edgy".

The 'trend' of tucking in just the front of your shirt into your strides, there are a few mid twenties, early thirties who have taken to doing this at work. Firstly it looks ridiculous, secondly, why copy it. I swear if someone put a dog turd on their head and wandered down the Kings Road then these eager to fit in non thinkers would copy it.3
