Maybe it is like you said in an earlier comment, a man thing. They like numbers and engines and logic (sorry about the sweeping), and I like it when the threads of a story, like yours, are beautifully woven together.Neahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09528962078216397466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20735769.post-575858419165581402007-02-20T20:39:00.000+00:002007-02-20T20:39:00.000+00:00Pimms is lovely but if it brings back too many bad...Pimms is lovely but if it brings back too many bad memories, then you should try a Plymouth Gin Fruit Cup - very similar but just different enough.

It is quite lethal, though, even without being spiked - you're guzzling it down like lemonade and then suddenly wondering why your legs won't go in the same direction.
