On returning to the single life, again

On returning to the single life, again

Yeah, I'm a single man. Happy-go-lucky. Carefree. Free to do what I want to do. Have a good time. Have a party.

So I did just that.

I joined the library.

All the books I can eat. Free reservations. Slightly out of date CDs and DVDs.

And librarians. Lots and lots of hot, smoking librarians of that certain age.

So many hot, smoking librarians of that certain age that I am resolved: The next woman I am going to run off with and marry will be an actual card-carrying, dewey decimal-loving, date-stamp-wielding sensibly-dressed librarian.

Or an archivist.

Or a researcher.

Or, to be honest, any woman at all.

I'm open-mined like that, and all I need now is an open-minded librarian, researcher or archivist willing to put up with a git.

Now, if somebody would be kind enough to set up a librarian dating website, we can get this party started.

Hot librarians, everybody!

If any hot librarians are reading this, here's a librarian joke that I certainly DID NOT* steal from Jimmy Carr.

A bloke walks into a library, saunters up to the desk and says "Cod and chips, please" in a loud voice.

The hot librarian gives him the skunk-eye and replies: "You do realise this is a library, sir?"

"Oh, sorry," says the inebriate and whispers, "Cod and Chips, please"
*Lie

Is this the librarian you were talking about?

Congratulations on your divorce!

Librarians are fierce, love-hungry people, in my humble experience. I lived with female one in flat with paper walls.. Sexy too.

Unfortunately, the one type of people librarians get along with are OTHER librarians. They even have their own programming language.

Ermm being an ex-librarian, I read this with interest. I say nothing.... not necessarily out of being habitually silent in my work....

Val: I understand totally. Did anybody ever ask for fish and chips?

Come and visit here. We know LOADS of librarians and would be happy to introduce you to them.

Very happy, in fact.

First job was in a library. Three different Job Creation schemes.
Quite liked the job.
Hated the way your snotters were black because of all the dust you breathed in off the books - especially if you were sent into the stacks*

* good for screwing with peoples sense of perspective and balance if you started pushing the shelves along the rails when they were in among them.
