liebeskummer

My new unfavourite word.

Never even heard of it before the always-excellent Stefanie Marsh's column.

Strange, that, what with me having spent the past few months in close encounters just trying to decipher a certain Allemande.

Anyway, she seems to have just delivered the death blow by SMS.

Brave new world where we can electronically jettison our unwanteds sans all that messy eye-contact and pleading tears and pathetic pleads of "But why ... ?"
