The doozers also believe in smoke alarms and use building regs to impose our evil plan of smoke alarm world domination upon you, mwahaha!

Well...I'd not argue if they weren't ugly,

If they were a sort of flat, warm metal grill like old vents, could be decorative, with the gubbings in the wall/ceiling for example.

OH is watching country file, there is a lovely old chap on, OH has commented that he is beautifully dressed - tweed check jacket, tattersal shirt and a tie.

I know what he means as he just looks so 'proper' like someone picked him out of a story book. In his Sunday best for being respectable.

All entirely back in fashion. The tie needs to be a bow tie, really for him to be down with the kids!

Well, you could go for these, which I imagine would appeal to someone with a boob fetish (not saying that's you, but you will see what I mean:
