Did it take your breath away or were you left feeling a little short-changed? Did you feel you wanted to experience more of it?

Whilst I'm sure your organ is very nice, how typical to start comparing your equipment with someone else. (Remembering katyjay's earlier comments about misinterpretation, I would like to stress that I at least am talking about musical instruments which have several manuals, stops and pipes. I can't vouch for anyone else).

So am I, my dear! What do you take me for? The full specification of my organ is available on the interweb for inspection. If you'd like to see photographs, I can provide those too wink.gif

Ooh, yes please!

c. I see I'm only good enough for you when that pianist woman isn't around. I've been second best before and it hurts sad.gif so it's me or her.

Now, now. You should know better than to ask a man to choose! We are fickle creatures, forced to roam far and wide in life looking for fragile vessels in need of careful handling.... blink.gif smile.gif

You haven't asked me since about page fifteen, which was when that pianist woman wandered back in and laid claim to your affections.

Ouch! Feel the love there.. what happened to the idea of all the Sisters together against the common foe (i.e. men) ?
Deborah
Enlightened self-interest. In a similar vein, you may have noticed how, come the January sales, Mrs Bouffant's killer instincts come to the fore when shopping.

You want this kiss or not? Hurry up, Husband'll be home soon.

Even though his organ is vastly inferior? And I thought you knew we were high maintenance, but ultimately worth the effort.

Carol, perhaps I should move down to the seaside with you instead? If we can keep bouffykins in the UK, he could be our slave, only allowed out from under his desk to bring us chocolate or do the washing-up!

Ah yes, but he has more than one and from what I can ascertain they are all interesting in their own right..

Der Rosenkavalier? The story of a mature, sophisticated lady whose lover leaves her for another, much younger woman? In the current climate are you sure that's wise?
