More dates for Idle Tom
Yet more extraordinary news on the dating front! Somebody else wants to have a date with Idle Tom the Publisher!
Or …
At least her son thinks she might …
Turns out that Susan very much enjoyed reading The Well-Tempered Clavier.
And, as her son Damian reveals, she is open to the idea of new love.
Damian, who’s just finished doing his A’levels, wrote thus:
"Hi. My mum liked your book. She’s single."
Damian - that sounds more than good enough for me.
"Tom!" I said during my daily news briefing to Argentina. "You better get back quick!"
"What?" he said. Tetchy like. "What now?"
"There’s quite a back-log of blind-dates for you. Should I should start charging for this dating service that I’m providing?"
"You are charging! Or if you’re not charging, then I’m certainly paying! These calls are costing a fiver a minute! And why do you always have to call at peak time? Haven’t you heard of e-mail?"
"Calm down dear," I said. "I only call if I’ve got something really tasty. Susan sounds terrific. She’s 37 and she’s single."
"Is that it?"
"No! Don’t you get it? Guys reach their sexual peak when they’re 21, while women reach their sexual peak much, much later - at round about, just off the top of my head, the age of 37 -"
"So what’s your point then?"
"You’re a match made in heaven!"
* LADIES! Don’t be shy now! Do you also fancy a date with that hunk of manhood that is known as Idle Tom? Drop me a line and I’ll forward your details on to one of London’s most eligible bachelors …
