My other half rides a motorcycle and wears a pair of these to do so: <http://www.altberg.co.uk/Web/motorcycle_ClubClas.jsp> (me too, just bigger). She has precisely no designer handbags, nor any shoes worn merely once. Sarcasm and irony are writing styles that I employ from time to time.

He's like a bloody microprocessor, lives on logic then uses it against you to irritate.

Caz once ordered me out of the house and told me not to come back without a Gamecube, four controllers and a copy of Super Monkeyball - this was pretty much on launch week. She also wrote appreciation email to the president of iRobot over the Roomba/Scooba combination. Shoes? She's heard of them. Purses are not by whatever Italian-of-the-week you're supposed to buy from today, but by Studio Ghibli (as, indeed, are the films). Her opinion of Windows makes me look like Balmer's right-hand man. She is the Right Girl(tm). (well, we will skip over the sad predilection for TV trash anyway...) Cheers, Ian

My excuse for a handbag is actually a fabric shopping bag that an ex's mum made for me. Mind you, I probably would have more shoes/bags if it wasn't so bloody difficult to buy vegetarian ones. Just as well really. -- Sara Cuddler of rats, cats and husband |
