Thank you Baz, at least I didn't say it burst your smugness bubble (who came up with that one first?) I'm smug just now, I'm half-way through a special box of Black Magic. Love dark chocolate. Sorry that wasn't a grump Quite spooky how your maths almost agreed with my prognosis - they pay $4 for one of their gallons while we pay very nearly $10 for one of ours.  |

Much as it hurts to admit, our gasoline prices in the US are far lower than maturity and responsibility would dictate.
Then again, this country has a dreadful public transportation system and lacks the political courage and financial wizardry to build the infrastructure for it. When the oil crash hits, we're pretty much doomed.
Ah. The ultimate grumpy rant.

I'm a little bit annoyed.
My ex and I had a number of terms of endearment for each other that I thought were reasonably unique to our relationship, and which had evolved naturally during the course of it.
It's become fairly apparent to me that she's using at least one of them with her new partner, and for some reason that's really miffed me. Like the uniqueness of the relationship has been devalued or something.
I suppose I shouldn't let it get to me. I don't actually care what they call each other, and it's none of my business.

Sympathies, hh. I don't see why on earth you shouldn't feel miffed about that. It's a little betrayal, isn't it, from someone from whom betrayal was the last thing you expected while you were with her. But yes, small beer now.   |

Well if we're talking beer, I'll have a little bit of bitter and comment that although I didn't expect betrayal from her while I was with her, it was what I got for the last six months of the relationship. |

Was one of them Bunnykins hh?  Also I suspect that terms of endearment are a lot less unique than people like to think. However, your ex is likely to have her own set of ToE which she'll apply to the object of her affections, whoever he happens to be. |

Did I ever tell you that my mum sang at Dusty Springfield's funeral and met the Pet Shop Boys (and Lulu) in the process?
It's not a terribly exciting claim to fame but I thought it was worth sharing...
No Andy, it wasn't bunnykins. Though I did have a set of Bunnykins crockery when I was younger. The only thing that survives is the side plate. I seem to remember putting a spoon through my bowl when I was in a rage (and please don't ask me how old I was at the time).
