Says the man who had a whole thread devoted to his wonderfulness! 😉

Seriously, though, sheesh, I assume there is a bed big enough for the three of you somewhere in the UK.

Pfeh – barely half a page, really, not including my extended blathering. The major drop in the wonderfulness/thread exchange rate since Bush took office has hit hard in some quarters. 😛

Only if I can doust it in petrol and set it on **Fire!!!**  
[sub] how predictable am i?[/sub] 😉

Seriously though, banal though this may be, at least it keeps the thread in view for those who either may not do vanity searches, or we didn’t realise they lived in/near London and therefore didn’t include in the vanity search list.

::looks around innocently::

Flirting? Who’s flirting?

Seriously, though, I do agree with **Tir** , in that this way, no one’s going to forget about it, and other interested parties may see it as well. 🙂

**Tir** , you, predictable? Never. 😉

I now have visions of you being bombarded with beenie babies as you surf the web. They’re amusing visions. 😃
