Looks a pretty good response from where I'm sitting! All best wishes  for a continuing recovery and freedom from insensitive numbskulls... (there's a word I've not used for a while!) |

In the meantime, get that chaise longue ready, George. I`m on my way.
Mort, I think we can arrange a pitcher of Pimms and a couple of Havanas to accompany the view if you'd like. Obviously, you deserve them.  |

`You seem to be ignoring me for some reason and I would appreciate an explanation of why. If that is not the case, then can you please try harder?` Dear Diva Sorry, did you text something? Mort ....or perhaps... Dear Diva, I am not ignoring you. I am merely aware that you are by far a more superior being than I am. I hardly feel worthy of contacting you, and I doubt that if I tried harder I would even come close to your abilities. You are without doubt the only person I know who has the ability to stick her head up her a**e AND put both feet in her mouth at the same time. In awe Mort |

Calum,, She did know I was unwell, that`s what got my goat. But then if I was as `sensitive` as she is , then I would have realised that I was being grossly neglectful of her. Silly me.  Anyway, should be on the road to recovery and after that I will have a celebratory  |

Mort, Have you stolen May Poppins' Penguins again? Now come come, I've told you about animal-based kleptomania before. I seem to remember some marsupials (or was it warthogs?  ) Tommo |

Tommo, I laughed so much at that I practically choked! Wonderful. I know I will still be sniggering about it tomorrow. It`s made even funnier by the fact that La Diva is a very elegant, stylish creature and the vision of ..... no, it`ll start me off again! Thanks for some well-timed hilarity, Tommo. Should I send the royalty cheque to you?! |

Actually Mort, had another thought. Perhaps the text wasn't s'posed for you.
Maybe la diva has a secret lover whose name is next to your in her phone address book, and she just clicked the wrong name and send?
You never know, it could be a fling with Robin Williams behind Mindy's back. Or a tryst with an inspector from Oxford. Or the lead singer of aha! Or Mr Feldman?

Any 'Agony Aunts' out there? I need help. My lovely partner is perfect in every way ... except, he has a complete aversion to absolutely ANYTHING that could be considered 'popular culture'. Not only does he dislike ( or hate ) pop music - full stop - but he has this habit of clucking and popping as he hums along (!!?) with the background music in a pub. Today I 'made' him listen to 'Love of my life'.. (Queen) to try to convince him that there was a) a tune b) some reasonable harmony c) it was basically a British accent and d) enjoyable !!. He did, to his credit say it was sort of ok , but he prefers Bach ( don't we all!!) and has no inclination to hear the song ever again. Now, do I ignore this and leave him alone? or do I persevere? or just love him as he is ?  Help !!! Answers on a postcard please  |

Perhaps he is the sort of chap who, knowing his limits and aversions, keeps them mostly to himself (or perhaps he isn't?). Perhaps he is also the sort of bloke who cannot find a way to equate the two terms "popular" and "culture" in any meaningful way (even though absolutely no "snobbery" is to be inferred). Some people are just - I guess - like that. Does he (I wonder) like the way the Swingles do Bach (I do!). Try him on that, and see where you get! Baz  |

Dear Agonised A,
In the same way that a horse led to water can't necessarily be induced to drink, so intentional exposure to apparently alien music may not always have the desired effect. As with all things (and excuse me for assuming that this was already a universal feminine wile), it seems always useful to let a stubborn man believe that any change in taste was totally his decision all along, so rather than harp on one particular band or style of music, accidental exposure to a wider range, by osmosis as it were, might help him find a way in on his own. The wider the range you introduce, the more chance you have of finding something that overcomes his resistance; it will be a rather grudging acceptance at first, but one day you'll find him whistling or humming something he's heard which is starting to worm its way in, and from little acorns....

Thanks Auntie Rhona, I treasure your advice I will let you know how I get on, I think you may have a very good point - although I think I may be pushing against a brick wall!! Perhaps I should just 'let him' enjoy his Bach and accept that he is too long in the tooth to change now ? A |
