    Lounge, morning or morning grey?

    Whatever the woman who is being married desires. She's normally kind enough to send instructions. Or marks & sparks if not otherwise defined.

    I don't think you write pompously, in fact I think you write very eloquently. Syntax errors are, to me, the most charming feature of non-native speech so I think that sounds quite lovely!

    I have a few pronunciation quirks from a childhood in an international school, most have ironed out over time but the odd one persists.

    Thank you that's very kind. :o

    But I AM pompous. I realised this evening at the committee meeting I was at only a pompous idiot would have signed up to this. The old committee members have all tried and failed this year to get sponsorship so they were lying in wait for me. When asked where they have tried already they basically listed anywhere that might be interested at all.

    Dog dog and big dog are settled down for the evening on their sofas. Pink whistley and mauve squeaker are settled on the back of the sofa I am sitting on in the cheese room. We are all ready to call it a day.

    The kiwi however is running around the garden with a large pink soft toy (its bigger than him but he loves it). Round and round and round and round.

    I'm not. Terrible for skin and my hair. I much prefer something nippy but with air conditioning.

    It is easy for a bloke . Quick raid on the nearest Slaters and home again!

    Never bothered with anywhere else since!

    C&A? (Clemens and August)? Didn't they pull out of the UK a decade ago?;)

    My dad is giving away some evening suits that no longer fit him to a friend of similar but slimmer stature. I cannot help thinking that hiring would have been cheaper than owning so many evening suits.

    Some men are OCD about having their danglies where the danglies of other men have swung :)
