Man referring to woman who ghosted him after two dates as 'ex'

A MAN whose date cut all contact after their second meeting is unashamedly referring to her as his ex-girlfriend. 

Oliver O’Connor went on two dates with Grace Wood-Morris in 2022, the second of which ended early after he placed an uninvited hand on her posterior, yet openly refers to those evenings as a ‘relationship’.

O’Connor said: “Our love simply burned too bright to last. But my lonely nights are less so knowing that for a moment she was my girlfriend and that we were two souls blissfully entwined.

“We weren’t together for long  – five hours, 36 minutes in total – but that changes nothing. Romeo and Juliet takes place over but a few days. And I know so much about her from the evenings we shared, and also from her Instagram.

“I cannot imagine why she sundered our love. On our last call, her train entered a tunnel. Perhaps she never emerged? Regardless, she’s the reason I’ve been single ever since.

“I go on a date, end up explaining I’m emotionally numb after a previous relationship, the woman asks details like ‘how long was it?’ and then respectfully withdraws, I assume daunted at the prospect of living up to my ex. Understandable.”

Wood-Morris asked: “Who? The arse-grabber?”

'Why isn't there a Die Hard musical?' ask men

MEN sick of films like Legally Blonde and The Devil Wears Prada being turned into West End musicals are demanding musicals of their films, like Die Hard or Taken. 

Male movie fans cannot believe that producers are leaving money on the table by not turning GoodFellas into the singing, dancing extravaganza it was always meant to be.

Nathan Muir said: “Come on, Henry Hill high-kicking off his doorstep into a synchronised suburban performance of ‘I Gotta Spend The Rest of my Life Like a Schnook’? Groups of guys would go to see that again and again.

“Liam Neeson’s ‘I have a very particular set of skills’ monologue is built to be a blazing first-act solo number and a melancholic second-act reprise with single spotlight and lone violin.

“The possibilities are endless. The Christmas-themed closer ‘Yippie Yippie Yippie Ki Yay, Motherf**ker’ for Die Hard? Gruff ensemble number ‘No, We Ain’t Got Time To Bleed’ for Predator? Riggs and Murtaugh singing ‘We’re Getting Too Old For This Shit’ as they gaze into each others’ eyes?

“We would drag our wives along to a three-and-a-half hour musical re-imagining of The Shawshank Redemption just as revenge for Mamma Mia. And we would weep throughout then buy hoodies.”

West End producer Julian Cook said: “Mmm no. We tried taking a musical of Braveheart around the regions. It was just too f**king camp.”
