a slip of the finger
A gorgeous Jeremy bay
I love predictive text – it makes my life so much easier. However, yesterday I once again fell foul of the predictive text trap.
My parents have gone on holiday to Jersey, and I thought I’d drop them a quick text just to say that I hoped they were having a good time.
Except the text I sent them read: “I hope you’re both enjoying Jeremy xx”
I got a text back from my mum this morning saying “Jeremy is absolutely wonderful – especially in the hot tub!”
This isn’t my worst predictive text slip-up though. That happened about 7 years ago.
I had just started going out with this guy and he lived down in the new forest – and absolute bastard of a journey. I’d seen him a few times, and he was lovely, and this particular time, he’d come and stayed at my place for the weekend – and we had slept together for the first time.
He had to leave early Sunday evening to get his train back from central London, and so I sent him a text asking “So, when do you get home?”
Except I didn’t. I asked him “So, when do you get good?”
I love comments and will generally answer any that are left - so please do leave one!
Just a normal girl
I recently turned 40 (eek - how did THAT happen?) I'm a Londoner - mother, lover and little kitty owner.
I do the normal London things. I'm really just pretty run-ofthe-mill!

I absolutely had to rate this post 5 stars — I am giggling in delight at how much I have fallen afoul to those silly predictive texts, too! Yours takes the cream of the crop, and I applaud your mother’s wit in her response, and wonder what the gentleman’s response to you was in the “when do you get good” text? Oh, I am giggling, although I feel terrible that an embarrassment like that happened, but nonetheless, I am still giggling away…!
LOL – it’s always good to be able to laugh at other people’s misfortunes
He was actually quite calm. He rang me up and said “I’m kind of assuming you didn’t mean to send what you just sent?” and then told me what the text said.
He was obviously confident in his abilities
Oh, my he was a good sport about it! Something for him to definitely try to “prove you wrong…” you know, just in case he thought that it wasn’t an accident that you wrote that…!
I often text Linda “Coming good” instead of coming home
see – it’s easily done
Oh PMSL – and what did he respond to *that*?!
Just ignore me – I should really read the comments first, right?
But…PMSL again!!
I hate predictive text! The crap I write sometimes is so embarrassing.
The most annoying thing I write is ‘sacred’ instead of ‘scared’.

I always like the fact that ‘lips’ and ‘kiss’ are the same letters…although ‘cock’ and ‘anal’ are probably more amusing
