1. Dunstan:

   I ought to point out that she's not dead - we just broke up.

   I didn't realise it sounded like that until someone kindly pointed it out :op

2. Phil Baines:

   It's a very nice cliche though. Here is another one;

   It is better to have loved and lost, that to have never loved at all.

   It's over used, and cliched, but true. Of course I don't know if you lost her, or if she lost you. But by the sounds of it you dont keep in touch any more. Shame. I have managed to stay good friends for most of my past lady friends, and I am going to be an Usher in the wedding of one on May 7th. It is a very odd feeling, but I am happy about it.

   Glad to hear it - I was just wondering how she met her end.

   Yeah I did wonder about that. :)

   So, Dunstan, if you were looking for a litmus test to determine if Dom reads your website, this is probably as good as any. ;-)

   No cliches about fish the sea--just hang in there.

   Good thing you remember the relationship kindly. Always a good thing...

   How long has it been?

7. Sian:

   A beautiful girl.

   I've only got one photograph of my ex which I don't think I need to keep anymore, I have my memories after all. It does take time to get over relationships and having good, patient friends around helps. Anyway, I'm patiently waiting for Russ' flight to come in, he's already missed one!

   Um... two and a bit years, Sergio. Nice to finally have that monkey off my back :o)

9. Dunstan:

   Memories are much more powerful than photos, you're right Sian. I wrote tons about that, but then got rid of it all -- I'm not very good at writing on matters of the heart.

   *Bing Bong*
   Will a Mr Russ please make his way to Wales, where his future wife, Sian, is waiting to collect him. That's a Mr Russ to make his way to Wales. Thank you.

    "Give a man a fish, he can eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime"

    Hey everybody else was being cliché' why can't I?

    Sorry to hear about your loss D. I think we all have been in your shoes at some point. You will nab that right Philly some day.

11. Grayson:

    I know exactly how you feel, Dunstan. My ex broke up with me about 9 months ago, and I'm still not over it. I can't bring myself to look at the many pictures I've taken of her, either. One day, I might even be able to read some of the letters :-)

    It takes a long time, but with good friends you can eventually get over it. Cheers to being able to move on.

    (If you care to say, how long were you together, and how long has it been since you broke up? I'm a nosy sort ;-) )

    WIPE THAT TEAR OUT OF YOUR EYE PRIVATE! Now, give me 50 press ups and go rub some Brute on your chest, and don't let it happen again.

    I must now go and tear up some phone books.

13. Sam Newman:

    Ack - took me about a year I think to not be sad when looking at old pictures, although I did still get a little melancholy twinge for a while after that. Things have a way of working out though, in some of the strangest possible ways...

15. Dunstan:

    Grayson, we were a couple for a little over a year - living together the whole time - and it's been a little over two years since we broke up.

    Even 12 months after it happened I couldn't bare to visit London (where we'd lived), it takes a long time for those feelings to go away, but they do eventually.

    Good luck :o)

17. Chris:

    Ah, this must be the girl Dunstan wrote about before. "I can't believe... she's gone.". The post had something to do with watching a video film to take away the pain, or something.

    I tried to picture the sort of girl she would look like when I saw the title of the post come up in my RSS feed reader. I had her down for curly brown hair, maybe disco shades. Clearly I was way out!

    She has a nice smile. You were lucky to know her I would say. Now here's another over-used, but always true cliche:

    When one door closes another opens.

    So when Dunstan gets married to THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN IN THE WORLD * (TM) he'll look back and not worry about his exes. He'll remember them of course, but times will have changed.

    * That is, unless he is secretly gay! :-D

18. Deb:

    Dunstan, you already know my thoughts... Anyway,now I'm looking at the picture and wondering about the photograph itself. Was it taken in a photo-booth? By you? Someone else? On a timer with your camera? If that, how much have you 'messed' with it? What are the photographic particulars? It shows beautifully, here.

19. ACJ:

    What's funny about this, is that a day before this was posted, I spotted my ex for the first time in 2 years or so.
    Did I say "funny"? I meant to say "scary".

20. Dunstan:

    Deb, it's just a photobooth picture, taken at Brussles train station (we were on our way back from a (very nice) short holiday to Brugge).

    No tweaking needed :o)

22. Dunstan:

    I think it's to do with the url - sometimes people visit to:
    http://www.1976design.com/

    and other times to:
    http://1976design.com/

    The cookies only work with the www. one.
    I can't figure out how to get around that :o/

    If it's not that then I'm not sure what your problem is - I do know that I vist people's sites sometimes and all my cookie data seems to have vanished - I always wonder what's going on as well.

    Actually that's a lie - cookies work for me on either url, though I don't understand why :o/

24. Rahul:

    Oh well. Takes about 20 seconds to fill it out, so it's not really a problem. Stupid cookies. Someone needs to develop a better system for keeping track of this stuff. Maybe something like TypeKey, only more generic...

    It's possible for non-SixApart software to authenticate users with TypeKey. Read the FAQ on their site. Unless that's not what you meant, Rahul.

26. Rahul:

    I was implying some kind of technology to entirely replace the concept of cookies :) TypeKey is heading towards providing a web-wide service that can authenticate regardless of attached backend (MT, LJ, whatever), but it's not performing any technical server-client communication like a cookie in its most basic state is.

    "...now I smell like my Dad"

    Dad uses Old Spice, not Brute.

    While on this subject, I think you should do a piece on Vosine. My hypothesis is that Dad is the ONLY person on the planet to have bought it - ever. His insatiable thirst (not literally) for the product is single handedly keeping the entire business of manufacturing medicated shampoo alive.

    Dad just muttered that "lot's of people use it", but I think you're right, Al; I've never seen that funny little green bottle outside their bathroom.

    Oh, I'm wrong! They've changed it, bottle and all:

    So, now Dad and Melinda Messenger use it. Two peas in a pod...

    Both the model and the newly designed Vosine bottle may be beautiful outisde, but I doubt that Melinda smells like a glue factory at peak production during the infamous horse plague of 1486.
