The OH bought a Christmas Cake and I bought a Christmas cake not knowing she had bought one. She bought a bog standard Lidl job ad I had gone for their Deluxe version. I didn't think there would be much difference but there was.
So, whilst sat on the couch sinking me teeth into a modest slice of the Deluxe cake, having got through the chewy dry one in a week, I uttered "That's rather good isn't it?" Before she made the realisation that she was about to diss the one she bought, she responded in complementary fashion... then the silence.
That made me smile.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

For some reason I saw the rack of old vinyl outside and looking inside the guy has thousands of old records. Had a brief chat and he went through the filing system - this could be a lot of fun (but expensive)Ecrasez l’infame0
