Just remember to love her as much in ten years time as you do know. <Related but not really> I was listening to the radio the other day and the DJ arranged for this girl to phone up her boyfriend on air and propose to him. It was all very sweet with lots of laughing and surprise. She proposed very sweetly. The problem was; He said no. On air, in front of tens of thousands of radio listeners, he said no to her. It was heart breaking to hear the girl try not to cry. She was amazingly brave and it must have been so tough. From the way the guy talked though he did not sound like he deserved her anyway. </Related but not really>

                        The "romance of Paris" comes as follows: Paris is an ugly, dirty, noisy, hectic, tourist-flooded town, with some old buildings as you can find all over europe. French people, especially those from Paris, have a personality quirk that is by outsiders usually understood as utterly arrogant. Yet, if you're really in love, you just don't notice. :cool: May you enjoy Paris.

                                        According Paul Watson - I 've already done the '...' joke

                                        Technically speaking the dictionary would define Visual Basic users as programmers.
                                        But here again, a very generalized, liberal definition is being employed and it's wrong

Thanks. :) We are toying with the idea of taking Eurostar to Paris for the day (it's on a Sunday), just for the romance of it, and because we have never been there before. It is slightly bad timing though as we get back from our holiday in SA 3 days before our aniversary. We may be too tired to do anything. Which would be a good thing from the point of view of having had a great holiday :cool:

                                          I can highly recommend the Eurostar (especially if you go first class - my parents came back with glowing reviews of that experience) Though it's a shame you can't stay longer (If you can - look up a little restaurant called Brasserie Flo[^] - it's wonderful) -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!
