    My other half is married with two kids- I suspect he has plans with his wife.

    We're sitting down and watching highlights of last year's Classics & TDF stages, and the full run of stage 19, Alpe d'Huez !! ;)

    No, only kiddin, that would be a step too far :pac:

    Speaking of stage 19 on the Alpe, here's an interesting video of the fans, even crazier than I thought !

    I have a pre-nup agreement which specifically prohibits viewing of "romantic" "comedies". It's in the "no cruelty" section.

    I have one of those too, regular unilateral breaches though...

    .............and do you get to make any suggestions ??!! :p

    Lumen, you crafty ould bugger, never thought of a pre-nup to cover awkward situations, smart move ;)

    On the way home last night from work (with 2 other co-workers), the conversation went as follows:
    Tom: "So, Jim, will you do anything romantic for the auld wan tomorrow?"
    Jim: "Not really, just the usual, but it's unfortunate that she's working nights, wink wink"
    Tom: "So will you leave something out for her in the morning, so as to surprise her when she gets home?"
    Me: ".....yeah.................the washing !!"
    Ok ok I'll get me coat......

    That's one of our favourite roleplays. She said she was sick of re-enacting "An Officer and a Gentleman".

    For all you romantics out there, don't forget 'Metal Evolution' which continues tonight on Sky Arts at 9pm.

    In Episode 7 of Metal Evolution, Sam explores grunge, a.k.a. the Seattle Sound, from a decidedly fresher approach, inspiring two fundamental questions: “Why did grunge polarize the Metal community?” and “What are the true roots of grunge?"

    Begins as an unremarkable anti-RLJer rant, but a familiar piece of footage brings a twist to the end and a possible new catchphrase on a par with, I dunno, footpad...


    Ross Noble was poor on that, in all the rounds. His comment about African dancers in their coconut bras was a bit "Bernard Manning" too.

    Completed a cycle from Harold's X up to Howth and back. Saw a lot of serious roadies, but I bet none of them felt as proud as I did when I got home, my hardest spin so far :).

    I don't know how many times I've seen the Amazon logo and I've only just realised that it contains an implicit boast that they stock everything, from 'a' to 'z'.

    225px-Amazon.com-Logo.svg.png

    Is this widely known, and the penny just dropped very slowly for me?

    No it would appear that I'm also an idiot. Thanks for pointing it out!

    Jeez, that has to be one of the more obvious ones. Funny though, I was just reading a list of some of the better ones yesterday. Not included on this list here:

    Is one of my favourite ones:

    In that case, I saw the warrior profile before I saw the golfer. Very nicely done.

    (To be fair to me, it's not as if I've sat down daily over the last ten years with a print-out of the Amazon logo on my desk, my brow furrowed as I attempt to decipher the meaning of the arrow. I just never gave it a second thought before today. Much like the Dublin Bus logo; took me quite a while to notice that it contains not only a castle motif, but also a stylised DB.)
