Well, as I've only just managed to get onto the computers (my, aren't parents slow when it come to technology...???) I suppose I have time to fit in the story of "the-letter-that-may-or-may-not-get-me-into-trouble".... I'm sure that the pub-quiz guy could tell it better, but alas for you, he's not here.
I also feel that I should point out that I might not get into trouble at all, I shan't find out unless it arrives tomorrow before I call. I'll let you know how much (assusming I am) trouble there's going to be.
Though I'm sure that there's going to be some, simply because I've (purposely) wandered into the minefield that is talking (or as this is a letter, writing) about a woman's looks. However, I am hoping that I shall survive with the use of charm, wit, a newspaper article backing me up and, most importantly, the ability to quote the recipient back to herself.
Actually, haven written it like that I think the possibility of a tad too much smartarse might have been mixed in.... hopefully the dollop of self-derision at the end will help.
Perhaps at this point I should point out that I was disagreeing with her (and what seems to be a commonly held belief amongst women) that they aren't as pretty as they really are. Personally I thought using a science journal, history journal and a national newspaper to prove that she was wrong was pretty good.
But like I said before, if I have gotten in trouble I'll let you know. It'll be an important lesson in "what not to say..." when wading into questions if I have.
I think I could have written more, and better, but it's late and I'm tired and looking up long words in the dictionary is getting..... getting..... oh why don't we have a thesaurus????
Nighty night.....
