I was a bit of a rebel in my younger days. I even wore yellow socks So try odd socks and chuck in a yellow one now and again if yo...

Happy Valentine's Day
Hope you all have had to fight through the cards, choccies and flowers to get the the PC today
Some hope.....No. 1 husband reckons it's all commercial hogwash and refuses to be suckered into it all. However, he has just gone to the shop to buy a bottle of vino for me, so can't complain
