    Hmmm... tricky...
    Following the principle of Sod's Law, as you cannot realistically accept the role you have a very high probability of actually being offered it. Inversely, anything within an easy commute is almost definitely a non-starter.

      Phone him

      'Hello dear, remember that waiter that I was ogling last year, well I got an email from him. We just spent the day having the most fantastic sex. I found out too late that he had filmed the whole thing and the video is going on sale from tomorrow. Hope you dont mind seeing me doing the H , but I had to sort of go along with the mood.
      The doctor said the rash should be gone soon.
      The Police reckon I wont go to jail, probably. And the house should be safe, probably'

      'Actually I made all that up, but my new contract in Switzerland doesn't sound all that bad now, does it ?'

        Hmmm... that could be a goer...

          Tell him you've applied for a gig in London.

          When you secure the job, tell him they're sending you to Switzerland for the first 2 weeks, for training.

          Then tell him "Grrrrrrr!!!!! You're not going to bloody believe this!!!!! They've gone and said I have to be based in Switzerland!!!! I dont believe it!!!" etc etc.
          Tell him you're furious with them and will look for something else closer to home mmediately...but dont find anything.

            If you're a fairly quiet type that just sits in front of the telly and vegitates you could consider having a latex doll made that looks like you. You could arrange for the neighbours to move it around during the day to make it look more realistic.
