Debate House Prices

    I always had you down as a bit posh, ninky. Am I right?

    Waitrose or Morrisons?

    (why do I expect you to come back with Co-op?)

    mainly TFC (turkish food centre) with occassional trips Lidl, Tesco, Morrissons and Farmfoods (i'm not a brand loyal person).

    On the contrary. You sound like quite a catch . . .

    Dinner and intelligent conversation sometime, perhaps?

    I won't tell mrs bendix, if you don't.

    Strange - I could bet you were gay.

    Pffft. I prefer my version of who you are. With your forebearance, I'll stick to it.

    What a strange post.

    I take it as a compliment, though.

    Is it because I'm intelligent, articulate and someone who you are curiously interested in for reasons you don't quite understand, perhaps?
