This is starting to feel a bit too scripted now, he’s obviously going to fuck Rachel. That “just because someoneโs with someone, it doesn’t always mean they want to be, because sometimes being with that person is easier than not being with them” bit she is talking about herself right.
I’m not sure. If she was single I’d be more inclined to think he’d spot it, but the fact is that she’s in a relationship with someone and appears to be happy, so why would he think shes sending him messages?
Either way trying again with Hannah is a bad idea. I need to re read the night it all kicked off. what date was that?
I agree – feeling way to scripted at the moment. Also the repetition of Rachel’s advice. Had really come around to thinking this was real but I’m doubting again.
Gareth’s too in love with Hannah to notice anyone else. He’s if he took a step back from his obsession he might notice that Rachel is (possibly) into him. I’ve been there – chasing after the wrong person.
Exactly! The thing is, nothing in it is really strange enough to be fake. How many times in your life have you been like wow this is like a movie. bad sitcom? I just wish Garret would get back to his old ass-hole self.

As someone equally oblivious to advances from the other sex I can absolutely see this as something that really happened. I’ve kicked myself so many times over very obviously missed opportunities. Hind-sight and all that.
Rachel is perfect for Gareth. The reason she talks about Joe so much is because she wants to make Gareth jealous. He needs to give her the D soon before Jack does. I do hope he gets over Hannah. What about Lispy? He has said that he is into girls with lisps. Arrggh I just want the next update to come out!
Just when I really begin to think it has to be real, these last few days happen. It just sounds too much like a film or something. I like reading it so I guess that’s all that counts? ๐
No man, I don’t care how stupid you are, would be so in love with a girl, that he’d miss those signals. Men think with one thing – and for that reason he’d never miss those signals regardless of his love for Hannah (that he hasn’t mentioned for ages). A writer knows his audience ๐
Stupid advice from Rachel. Let’s not sugar coat the fact that Hannah is not coming back and even if she did it does not erase the fact that she cheated on him. Ed, please slap Gareth in the face
Top work on transcribing these Ed, I only discovered this site a few days ago from a friend and spent the last two work afternoon’s reading through the whole thing.
It really is the funniest thing I’ve read in ages, made even better for me as I grew up in Chelmsford so recognise all the pubs and landmarks he refers to! My friend and I are convinced he works at the same place we worked 10 years ago as well.
GET OVER HER GARETH & MAKE A MOVE ON RACHEL.
(not that it’s relevant advice, what with it happening 3 and a half years ago!)
Gareth is definitely going to bang Rachel
I definitely think Gareth will get with Rachel. Behind her boyfriend’s back. Thus becoming everything he despises about Rob. And Hannah. Poor form.
Do it Gareth. You know you want to.
What kind of a name is ‘Satan’?!

I’m starting to doubt that this is a real diary.
I disagree. I dont think she’s interested in Gareth. we know she loves Joe. I think she’s just telling him to go for it with Hannah.
She’s totally telling him she’s interested!
I’m inclined to agree….seems so obvious, surely he can’t be so oblivious. Or can he?

Saturday 27th February
Reading it back it defiantly seems too scripted to be real.
Maybe this is what real life is actually like and its my mundane life thats scripted.
AAAARGH Gareth you dopey twat
What a total idiot! Deserves to sleep alone for being so stoopid!

I still think its real
I never thought it was real… does it matter either way though? It’s still one of my favourite things.

For all you people falling over yourselves saying it’s feeling “too scripted for you now”. Do shut up. Great up date Ed.

I disagree – it’s very possible to miss signals like that. God knows, I’ve done it.
Great update again Ed BTW ๐
Can we see a pic of you ed x
Stupid advice from Rachel. Let’s not sugar coat the fact that Hannah is not coming back and even if she did it does not erase the fact that she cheated on him. Ed, please slap Gareth in the face
Rachel was definitely not taking about Hannah…
Beautiful. Thanks Ed ๐
Waiting for an update…
