[Nick]

I haven't put the curtains or poles back up yet.I may be excused this if there is a danger of me puking on them

[Snoopy]

Ah! The mists are clearing.

Hanging curtains >>> job for an expert...

Poor you... what did you cook then?

[Nick]

I do not wish to look at, discuss or even think about food.

Um... why? 

Does he only think of you when he is on the bog?

'Phone calls from my BiL are always made on his mobile (using up those "free minutes") and always sound either hollow (Yes he is in the bog) or have the sound of traffic/aircraft etc in the background indicating that he is stationary on the M25 and has nothing better to do.

[Bar Wench]

I quote Snoopy. "he has nothing better to do."

It is a sad fact that I am only worthy of thought or action to Brother Wench when he is bored and ensconced on the throne laying down some cable.
