    Your friend bought you a Personal Massager, nice friend.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I did that for a Secret Santa a few years back. I did a Christmas survival kit with a little bottle of cava, some cheapy bubble bath, chocolate, paracetamol etc! Packed it in a wrapping paper covered box, pinched loads of coloured shredding from work and put cellophane over it and a ribbon round it.

    Just been reading about Mark Speight what a terrible waste of two young lives. Sad and tragic ending.

    Total tragedy for both sets of parents. I think he was heartbroken after his girlfriend was found dead.

    Hows the surround sound going Z? I bet you have been watching a film with loads of shooting in it to get the full surround sound effect.

    It's not a new system - this is just the first time I've got it set up in this house.

    I've been listening to the radio on it... ;)

    Hello peeps!

    So you've got yourself surround sound Z. Try switching it on while the girlfriends not looking. That should wake her up (and leave you sleeping on the couch)!

    Done that in the wrong order then... I got the surround-sound system first...
