“It means: Good Sense of Humor, Would Like to Meet,” said Jude, suspiciously suggesting she might have done this before.

“I suppose you’d have to have a sense of humor to be too mean to fork out enough to say so in genuine words,” sniggered Sharon.

Talking Hearts turned out to be v. entertaining. You can actually ring up and hear the people advertising themselves like contestants on Blind Date.

“Right. My name’s Barret and if you’ll be my sugar and spice, I’ll give you champers on ice.”

Is not very cool to start message saying “Right” thereby giving impression of huge buildup to scary message-leaving, even though obviously is scary.

“My work is thoughtful, fulfilling and rewarding and I’m interested in all the usual kind of things—magic, occult, paganism.”

“I’m handsome, I’m very passionate. I’m a writer and I’m looking for a very special leading laydee. She’ll take pleasure in having a good body, I’ll be at least ten years older than her and she’ll like that.”

“Pah!” said Shazzer. “I’m going to ring some of these sexist bastards up.”

Shazzer was in seventh heaven putting them on speaker phone then murmuring sexily, “Hello, is that ‘First Time Advertised’ on the line? Well, get off it quickly there’s a train coming.” Not very mature admittedly, but seemed amusing with all Chardonnay in selves.

“ ‘Hi, I’m Wild Boy. I’m tall, I’m Spanish with long black hair, dark eyes, long black lashes and a lean, wild body . . .’ ” I read out in a stupid voice.

“Ooh!” said Jude brightly. “He sounds rather nice.”

“Well, why don’t you call him then?” I said.

“No!” said Jude.

“So why are you trying to get me to ring someone?”

Jude went all coy then. Turned out whole Stacey, Singleton Depression weekend thing had catapulted her into returning one of Vile Richard’s calls.

“Oh God,” said Shazzer and I simultaneously.
