	<title>Me And Mrs Jones: Do I go for Tom or Billy?</title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://bbcstreaming.pages.dev/programmes/p00wzj1c/profiles/tom-marshall">Tom</a> asked me out at school today, and no, we're not 10 we're 40 (ish) which makes the whole asking me out in the playground awkward. Everyone looking.  </p>

<div id="121011" class="player" style="margin-left:40px"> <p>In order to see this content you need to have both <a href="https://bbcstreaming.pages.dev/webwise/askbruce/articles/browse/java_1.shtml" title="BBC Webwise article about enabling javascript">Javascript</a> enabled and <a href="https://bbcstreaming.pages.dev/webwise/askbruce/articles/download/howdoidownloadflashplayer_1.shtml" title="BBC Webwise article about downloading">Flash</a> installed.

<p style="width: 512px; font-size: 11px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); margin: 0pt auto 20px;">Tom asks Gemma out for a drink/dinner thingy: AWKWARD
</p></div>

<p>Fran said I should be thrilled about a date with the school's do-able Dad. I mean, the last date I went on was... well it was with... it can't be... God, it was with my ex-husband! </p>

<p>Wait, did I even go on a proper date with <a href="https://bbcstreaming.pages.dev/programmes/p00wzj1c/profiles/jason-jones">Jason</a>?  Does him <strong>not</strong> charging me for a coffee class as a date? </p>

<p>It seemed to go from Jason giving me a free coffee to "Do you take this man to be your..." to ex-husband to "No <a href="https://bbcstreaming.pages.dev/programmes/p00wzj1c/profiles/mrs-jones">Gemma</a>, I can't have the kids this weekend because my bonkers Swedish girlfriend is waxing my toes"!</p>

<p>Forget Jason, Fran says I must prepare emotionally and physically for my date with Tom. She is a good friend but I don't know what she's talking about... and I can't get my brain off <a href="https://bbcstreaming.pages.dev/programmes/p00wzj1c/profiles/billy">Billy</a> - which I need to because he's my son's friend and half my age with eyes that make me.... stop it Gemma!  </p>

<div class="imgCaptionCenter" style="text-align: center; display: block; "><a href="https://bbcstreaming.pages.dev/blogs/tv/gemma_billy_sofa_500.jpg"><img alt="Billy (Robert Sheehan) and Gemma Jones (Sarah Alexander)" src="https://bbcstreaming.pages.dev/blogs/tv/assets_c/2012/10/gemma_billy_sofa_500-thumb-500x333-99285.jpg" width="500" height="333" class="mt-image-center" style="margin: 0 auto 5px;" /></a><p style="max-width:500px;font-size: 11px; color: rgb(102, 102, 102);margin: 0 auto 20px;">Billy (Robert Sheehan) - lovely eyes, and Gemma</p></div>

<p>Fran says if you're interested in more than one man then the way to decide is to have them strip to the waist and wrestle. </p>

<p>I'm not sure Tom and Billy would agree to that, although I'm sure I could sell tickets and make a lot of money out of that as an event.... that's not the point. The point is... </p>

<p>Wait! I know! A MAN LIST, good, yes a list, I'm more of a list woman than a wrestling woman. </p>

<p>I'm not against men wrestling - or women wrestling for that matter but.... enough!  Think lists.  </p>

<p><strong><u>Reasons to date Tom</u></strong><br />
-	He has luxurious hair, good yes, strong hair = strong man. Tom has the hair of a matinee idol, and he's admired - by other women - from afar - and up close.  <br />
-	He's kind to animals and small children... At least I think he is, his daughter's hamster is six which is a record I think! He says he feeds it warm milk and honey when it 'sniffles'. Do hamsters sniffle?</p>

<p><strong><u>Reasons not to date Tom</u></strong> <br />
-	He says 'sniffles'.  </p>

<p><strong><u>Reasons to date Billy</u></strong><br />
-	His voice.  Is that a reason to date a man - his voice?  Yes, because... I mean... it's certainly a reason <strong>not</strong> to date a man eg Orville - vocally off-putting -although technically Orville's not a man, he's a bird, but he's voiced by a man and.... <br />
-	Eyes! Billy has nice eyes, two of them.  Lovely eyes in fact - for a fact in fact.  </p>

<p><strong><u>Reasons not to date Billy</u></strong><br />
-	He's young, not really young but youngER - than me.  <br />
-	He's also <a href="https://bbcstreaming.pages.dev/programmes/p00wzj1c/profiles/alfie">Alfie</a>'s friend.  Which means the list leads me back to Tom.  </p>

<p>This list thing isn't working.   </p>
