It doesn't get better than robbing the poor of a few pesos

Head is feeling very fuzzy - I think someone spiked my drinks

YOU... YOU....BASTARDS!

Now I'll have to pay a fortune on its Psychological recovery! How dare you gang bang my poor glasses? Evil people!!!!!!!!!!

(I overslept today… Why oh why do I have to work on Fridays and live in the arse of the world? *yawn*)

Very nice evening indeed. Nice meeting new people and seeing my old mates. Loved the conversation, the wine(s), and of course GG's cheese as usual

Today it's the best I've felt the whole week - a week of taking medicines, staying indoors and not smoking and I felt like c***, and an evening of everything but, and I feel awesome. Huhm....

And as for the question "What is romance?", in addition to what I said yesterday, I like this definition below from an article that a friend sent me.

OKAY!!

Romance is taking something normal, everyday, common, average and making it special.

But hey, metrosexual man is so last decade, the modern, caring man is out, the romance is dead - just let the chemicals fire off in your brain - pick the person you want - and go and swap bodily fluids

Says the guy in the pink shirt!

If you guys would have asked me these kind of questions yesterday I'd be a tad confused. You see, back in the old country, romance is a type of book...

We must distinguish between romance as a noun and romantic as a verb, yesterday we were using the noun and discussing the adjective:

ro·mance

1 adj. roʊˈmæns, ˈroʊmæns; v. roʊˈmæns/

noun 1. a novel or other prose narrative depicting heroic or marvelous deeds, pageantry, romantic exploits, etc., usually in a historical or imaginary setting.

2. the colorful world, life, or conditions depicted in such tales.

3. a medieval narrative, originally one in verse and in some Romance dialect, treating of heroic, fantastic, or supernatural events, often in the form of allegory.

4. a baseless, made-up story, usually full of exaggeration or fanciful invention.

5. a romantic spirit, sentiment, emotion, or desire.

6. romantic character or quality.

7. a romantic affair or experience; a love affair.

8. ( initial capital letter ) Also, Romanic. Also called Romance languages. the group of Italic Indo-European languages descended since a.d. 800 from Latin, as French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Provençal, Catalan, Rhaeto-Romanic, Sardinian, and Ladino. Abbreviation: Rom.

Clearly y'all are still drunk / extremely hung over from yesterday. I have no idea what you are on about.

Or maybe its me...

AWW


ashishshah Missed me but he deleted the post..

I'm back in CH for less than 18 hrs.

Will be stopping by briefly on my way back from Lausanne...picking up Sunday roast money and checking in on grumpy's cheese stash.

No drinks for me but may hang out for a bit.

I'll be there too ^^

I have money to leave by Grumpy, a book for Monomix, DVDs to return and a thirst for silly conversation and some beer hihi

approx wot time you have in mind?

Calling in after 8 with a mate! Hope to see you JLF.

I am hoping for around 7 but it will depend on my day here in Lausanne... I would venture to guess closer to 8. I can text you if you want (but I only have a really old number for you)...

is what I think about that. And if you are going to be there, I know I am in trouble.

Ditto. Except no book for monomix and no dvds to return.

Do you want the books? I havent had the time to read past the second chapter but dont feel good hanging onto them so I can drop them off if you like? Have a dinner to go to at half seven but can trouble Mike to hold on to them if you cant make 7pm.

I didn't. A mod did.

So you are back already ?

Not sure whether I'll pop over - I have running at 0645 tomorrow morning - so alcohol is out!

C'mon! Our company is still bearable without alcohol. Right?
