joking,’ she said.
    ‘Anyway, the rest of
the class know you can speak from last week,’ said Izzie.
    I felt miserable. All
my good ideas had come to nothing. I would just have to talk with my hand over
my mouth or perfect the art of talking through closed lips.
    Nope. Even I knew that
no way was I going to be able to do that in an acting class. No. It was too
sad, but I would have to resort back to option B. Oh cruel world, I thought. I
would have to let Luke go and not go back to the class at all. True love was
not meant to be mine. I would just have to grow old with my memories of how it
could have been. On the other hand, it would make me more beautiful as people
would be able to sense my loss, the sadness behind the smiles, the inner
wistfulness behind the mask of success. Yes, mine would be a high but lonely
destiny.
    I sniffed and tried to
look noble. ‘It happens in all the best movies you know? In
Dr Zhivago
,
after many years apart, he sees Lara, the love of his life, at the end. He
jumps off a bus to try and catch her but, too late, he has a heart attack and
dies on the pavement and she never knows how close he was. And in
Wuthering
Heights
, Cathy dies leaving her one true love, Heathcliff, heartbroken
forever. Sometimes it’s not meant to be…’
    Izzie raised her eyes
to the ceiling. ‘Oh for Gawd’s sake. Nesta. Luwie. Dwarling. You’ve got a
brace
,
not a noose around your neck. You are not dead. Luke is not dead. Life is not
over.’
    ‘You don’t understand
the pain of unrequited love,’ I said through closed lips. ‘Or true passion.’
    Izzie turned and
grinned at TJ and Lucy. ‘True passion? Oh yes I do. And two words sum it up.
Chocolate fudge.’
    ‘Yeah, bugger
unrequited love and passion,’ said Lucy. ‘Chocolate never lets you down. And it
doesn’t care what your teeth look like. Come on. Food department. Now.’
    ‘Best idea you’ve had
all day,’ said TJ and the three of them headed off for the chocolate counters
like homing pigeons. Huh, I thought as I watched them charge off. Am I
misunderstood or what? But what can you do? I thought as I hurried to catch
them up. If you can’t beat them, join them.
     
    How to
Measure for a Bra
     
    1)
Measure in inches around the ribcage directly under your boobs.
    2) If
it’s an odd number, add 5 inches, if it’s an even number, add 4 inches.
    3) This
gives you your bra size (e.g., 31 inches + 5 inches = 36 inches, or 34 inches
+ 4 inches = 38 inches).
    4) Then
measure the fullest part of your bust. The difference between the full bust
measurement and the bra size measurement gives you your cup size.
    For
instance:
    1 inch
smaller than bra size = AA-cup size
    Same as
bra size = A-cup
    1 inch
bigger than bra size = B-cup
    2 inch
bigger than bra size = C-cup
    3 inch
bigger than bra size = D-cup
    4 inch
bigger than bra size = DD-cup
    5 inch
bigger than bra size = E-cup
    6 inch
bigger than bra size = F-cup
    7 inch
bigger than bra size = G-cup
    and any
bigger that that, you need an over-the-shoulder boulder holder, not a bra.
     
    Note from
Nesta :
Whadtttt?
Forget all that. Most large department stores offer a professional measuring
service for bra sizes for free. Sounds good to me.

    Life is full of
surprises.
    My brother Tony takes
girl chasing seriously.
Very
seriously. Girls are his favourite hobby
and he likes to think of himself as the Casanova of North London. The pro. The
Master. He who knows about girls. Part of me thinks that it’s hysterical as I
live with him. I’ve seen him in the morning when he’s just woken up (not a
pretty sight). I’ve seen him when he’s been ill and wants his mum (also not a
pretty sight). But another part of me has to hand it to him. His dedication to
his art does seem to pay off and there’s always a queue of girls desperate for
his attention. Part of his girl chasing degree has been
