McRamFan Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Present giving has virtually stopped, thankfully. Cannot see the point of buying someone a 'gift', sooner give a bit extra to a charity and perhaps have a bit more expensive wine/food. Sooner buy gifts for significant birthdays and anniversaries.

We had a very nice pre recording ten minute chat before the second plane went into the twin towers and all hell broke loose. She was even lovelier than you think she's going to be, in real life. Unfortunately I think she only goes for guys who win teapots. I used to be kind of lad who, if he thought someone was gorgeous would tell them. Genuinely without hope, expectation or agenda. She couldn't stop laughing. I think those days are gone. I don't think it's safe to tell someone they're lovely anymore. Not even Susie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
