Problem at home

Sorry to put this in the open but I have a persistent problem.

Every morning when my domestique brings my coffee, she plonks it down on the beautiful cover of the copy of Rouleur that adorns the bedside table. I've instructed her to place it in a less risky position, but she persists.

What can I do, Cake Stoppers?

    Gizmo - how on earth do you keep going with a life like that :-)

    You could perhaps cover the err cover to protect it? 8)

    Grounds for divorce/seperation?

    I have a similar problem where 'the boss' refers to my steed as 'it'. I'm not sure if she (the boss) is doing it to wind me up as she clearly knows that my beautiful black and acid green steed is a she and not an inanimate object.

    Haa. Women!

    Get her to hold it for you in between sips. No need to put it down anywhere in this instance.

    Protect it with a copy of Razzle. That'll catch her her attention.

    She should bring the coffee and caftetiere/pot for refills on a silver tray. Pour your coffee and pass it to you. The stand beside the bed, a crisp white napkin in hand ready for you to dab your lips. She should then hand your Rouleur to you (after you have put down Razzle/Juggs/Asian Babes)

    This is an excellent suggestion. I assume the covers of such publications are wipe-clean?

    :D
