A dating site is for dating - well, at least it's supposed to be.

But what of those of us to whom a date means nothing more than a number on the calendar?

Sex between 2 people is known as a 'twosome'; between 3, a 'threesome'; 4, a 'foursome' etc.

These days I'm re-defining the word 'handsome'!

So I either retire to my hibernation hole for an indefinite period or bore you to death with ramblings that have nothing to do with sex or dating.

Since I'm not a bear or a hamster, hibernation is not my preferred option, so ramblings it will be.

Isn't the word ' serendipity' wonderful? It conjures up the feeling of 'serenity', yet has nothing to do with it !!!!

Serendipity means to find something valuable/worthwhile, whilst looking for something else.

I've had a few serendipitous moments of late, and I want to share one of them with you - just for fun.

Whilst looking for content on 'confusing words in English - (affect/effect etc), I came across some amusing stuff.

I can't keep Melcyan happy by citing every bit of content because these are a compilation from various sources, but essentially they are badly worded adverts and headlines that will bring a smile to your dial.

For instance, we all know the supermarket notice board where people can advertise for anything, so what about these....

Wanted: 3-year-old teacher with at least 2 years experience.

For Sale: Stainless steel mixing bowl suitable for female cook with large bottom for easy beating.

Or what about this one -

For sale: Antique writing desk suitable for lady with thick legs and large drawers.

For Sale: Selection of beautiful dresses handed down to me by Grandma in perfect condition.

If that's not enough to tickle you, take a look at these newspaper headlines.......
