No, but I did fancy my cousin once.

True. A good friend of mine, her parents have the same grand-parents. Her parents met at a family wedding.
Edit: True for the second part. I do not fancy your cousin and did not know you fancied your cousin.

Er....second cousin is allowable, but not first cousins - as I always understood it.

I agree with that.
My Dad's father, had eight children, and its obvious I will know my first cousins from these children, but my Dad's grandfather, or my great grandfather had SIXTEEN children. I, nor does my Dad knows any family from that far, so how is it possible I will know any second cousins if I meet them?
