  • Could call in the armed services, see if they want to use it as a training exercise.

    Indeed.

    When it comes to metal stuck in mud, there's very little that the liberal application of high explosives won't cure.....

    Isn't that the military solution to most things? If in doubt blow it up.

    That's OK then, I was only 19 at the time.

    Don't worry. I'm living with a married man :eek: (and no, no-one has missed a hat-buying opportunity!)

    Is that a euphemism?

    Umm, yes it is. Or at least I think it is. But not rude.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Oil stains don't show. When you have to put your chain back on you can wipe your hands on your shorts.

    These don't seem like really good reasons....

    Some Japanese firm arranges weddings for single ladies. You get the whole wedding day, without actually having a bloke or getting married.

    I say go have a nice drink. It's for her to judge her current relationship. Then I do throw myself at life headfirst.

    That's what I think. It's just a drink, no suggestion of cheating on anyone. I don't think I'd be comfortable with that.

    She might well just be keeping her options open, which I think is fair enough.
