To all out there who know they needn't bother waiting in today for the florist, give yourself a big hug from me!
Wonder who will prove to be the most romantic today? My money is on Bearcub or Wangi.
Least romantic? Now, that's a
much more difficult one to wager.

I'd guess me. Aileen knows by now not to expect anything on 14th February.
Well apart from me grumbling "...load of commercial rubbish..." but that's probably no different to the rest of the year.

Thanks for the offer Marya - it'll probably be the only one I'll get today. As you all know, Mr E is not the world's most romantic man. He sometimes tries, bless him, but it's not usually worth the effort. It was my birthday last week and he bought me (Marya, you might remember the anogra jumper incident?) a size 8 dressiing gown...........and a hula hoop

. Now, I'm not saying the two are connected in any way. He claims not to know what relation a size 8 is to a size 12 - but I have my doubts that he really wants me to use the hula hoop in order to fit into the size 8. Shouldn't complain though because he did put a new blade in the hacksaw for me

Enough of your nonsense - get back to the Play Pen!

That raises a concern about how accurate it is, doesn't it?

Leon Trotsky and Josef Stalin rated 87%

Did you try it with the Cyrillic alphabet or 'ours' (can't recall what ours is called

)??? That might makes a difference?
Plug and I managed 85%!!

Funny enough James Harries and Lauren Harries scored really low.
Nelsons avatar gave me the inspiration to try that one

Well, he seems fine at the minute. In fact, we haven't had a cross word all evening
and he collected a really nice bouquet from 'Ray's' at the bottom of the street before coming home, so he's not so bad really
Another glass or two of El Vino Collapso and he won't notice my 'transformation'.....

Maybe he was trepidatious that he would not get back in time to collect the blooms?

If my technical skills were a bit better I would insert Blackmamba's photo of Lance Armstrong from the thread "any naked cyclists around here?" and ask...
Did he look like this?

Bit of a restricted set there. I would have gone for PoP myself.
