"Real" meant an actual physical date, not the ones you vicariously
experience through your books only.

Yet, your second paragraph actually answered my question.

That's why I gave it Cal. I knew it answered the question.

If I was to be forced to choose I would take Mr Blifil's position every time.

But middle of the road is better for those of us who haven't got his advantages don't you think. How they do "dates" in the movies. Tom didn't fix Sophie with anything as easy as that.

Sheesh Mac-

that looks like self inflicted torment and agony. Do you have to get those babes off the premises as well?

Rather you than me. You have my deepest sympathy. A lifetime of industriousness deserves better than that. The cuts look like they have been done with a handsaw. Sheesh!

Now, that's a rather surprising view for me [counting now, how many Brits I know]

Good luck to Smorgie with the flitting.

Need any lumps of wood? They make charming household ornaments. Sort of like urban driftwood.

Also fuel for Mexican-style clay oven patio heaters.

Going cheap, like my budgies.

McTag's garden looks like some forest in Germany I saw recently.

Is all the wood gone now? I rather liked the third log on the left.


Boy on a cycle track was carrying a very long and heavy branch yesterday. Helpfully putting it across the track. I told him not to be so stupid. Also muttered to his (female) friends as I cycled past that he was a ****ing idiot. "Oh yes we know" they said.

My attention has just been drawn to two articles in the Sunday Times.

The MEPs have reversed their ban on smoking in the building where they "work". It seems this was acheived simply by them defying it. Six weeks it lasted.

And Clarkson's article reads like something from behind the high walls of a secure unit. Beware narcissism.
