    I love the way your OH reads your posts and worries about what some random NP may interpret.

    My OH takes no interest in my ramblings at all.

    Nor mine. Most of the time my being on here just elicits the comment "GAFL"

    At ours:

    "What's that?"
    "A forum...economy and house prices and stuff."
    "Oh." (continues watching "Don't Tell The Bride")

    About 35 percent of British adults admitted they sleep with a teddy bear to de-stress before bedtime, according to a Travelodge survey.

    35% of the NP's takes a teddy to bed. :)

    Okay, I admit, there's a little 'hug me' teddy sitting on my night table, but it's not allowed in bed!

    On the subject of weddings, those context-related web page ads that you get have started obsessing on selling me wedding cakes! Since I've been very happily married for over 10 years, I'm not sure what they're trying to tell me! ;)

    Dunno... perhaps the system just thinks I like big cakes.

    You haven't seen the number of shoes I own


    Why's that? How many feet have you got? :eek:

    My fave toy when I was a lad was The Johnny Seven One Man Army. Made me look like a warmongering nutjob, but we all had these. Glasgow could be scary!

    There's one on ebay right now. Noticed the price was £350 !!!

    It's clearly fallen past the minimum price of outdated spacewasting junk to become valued retro item.
