Mrs DM_n_stuff must be a great chess player ... well played strategy there ... throw a few feints with the idea of a vulnerable bike to stress out Mr. DM and when he is all wobbly and jelly-like, close with a KO - i.e. "settle" for a ring much to his relief. Well played
Tom. Too late, I'm sure... If she's like all the other Fchat widows, she's now been advised of the "Vespa Gambit" and has put the wheels into motion. DM
You're either up early or late - though I gotta get crackin' here, let me share a mo'. My wifey is sitting just 4 feet away, if not less. She realizes F-Chat is my mistress & by way of example, only moments before my "ring" reply - couldn't have been less interested in whether I should get an F-Chat shirt or a hat. I fully accept the big, bigger, biggest ring will show up in good time. Only question is, will one of her many sisters have a bigger, shinier one?
