…and before anyone cites the thread title as misleading, yeah, it was. But I knew that. It was deliberate. I thought it was a semi-clever way of saying I’ve never proclaimed a state of delight. mmm ---

I had my wife come join my boss and me and another colleague for a drink once (job/boss in London, we live in Edinburgh). She was unimpressed when I told her he thought she was utterly delightful.
