Not only is there a great possibility that I have what is delightfully called an “incompetent cervix” (thanks for that LG), but I am also a weak twat in general.

A friend of mine is going through a marriage break up. Never having been married, I cannot really understand how awful it must be. I suppose my silly relationship dramas pale into insignificance in comparison. We were talking on MSN. I wanted to send him that little hug sign you can send, but it wouldn’t [...]
