Nope. I don't. Mine's rather more tech-oriented. I'm fairly sure she doesn't
possess even a single handbag. Shoes she buys once in a blue moon and only
if she's going to wear them significantly more than just once.

I doubt that even the married people here have more than one wife. And I
don't believe Sara has any at all.

My partner's quite into tech also, loves her games, fun, TV and all the
rest of it. Bit like me, except I love other gadgets, robots, that sort
of idiocy.

No, that's *my* wife. She keeps telling me that it's not pronounced
'hermes', it's "ehrmez" (or similar). I'm scared to ask prices... maybe
it's time I bought a new MBP.

You do know that it'll be used against you at some time in the future?
