    And younger than me,:D. He was rather lovely looking actually....but then he ruined it all by 'speaking'. :rotfl:

    And then you had to spoil it all,
    By saying something stupid like,
    'ello gorgeous.

    Just to be clear, I didn't actually go into town to get chatted up. It reads like I did. I went to get dog food and brussel sprouts.

    That's probably a bit of a passion killer actually...sorry, I'm in a hurry, I'm craving some brusells sprouts'

    It's less of a passion killer than what happens after you've eaten them.

    'I'm craving some dog food', is probably more of a passion killer but I think we all take your point.

    It's really' really good dog food. :) Kiwi loves it, and dog dog sulks because she doesn't get any of it. (Its special puppy food which meets a particular breed requirement).

    Booked DS1 a trip yesterday and spelt his first name wrong - two letters transposed. Phoned them up this morning and they changed it free of charge.

    Mis-spelling your own son's name? Too much :beer:?

    Removing a dust cover is fine IMO. Reading in the bath is the :naughty:

    Reading in the bath is one of life's great pleasures.

    And the other is removing the dust covers.:D

    Lemonjelly,

    Imagine, the girl of your dreams knocks on your door and asks you to take a bath with her and a book......would you say no?

    Actually, that sounds a mixing of pleasures - I'd either have a bath with OH, or with a book, but both sounds messy!

    It's great. Either relaxing leaning back on the best cushion there is reading a book together, or being very stern that there is 'none of that, I'm reading' for as long as one can hold out, before flinging the book onto 'dry land'. :D
