Thank you for the mental image.  
FYI all: I think I’ve decided to develop the friendship, and go from there. If something does happen I will start a new thread about it.

But I tell you what, It don’t half feel magnificent imagining doing all the things I normally do alone, with her (don’t you dare go _there_)… Like turning up at the train station to visit my dad… dad I have a surprise.
