somewhat avuncular demeanour with him but we all knew you were looking to split his ring.

I expect you just dumped him once you got bored hmm?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The love between an older man and a younger boy, I mean man, can be a beautiful thing, if sufficient lubrication is applied.

I remember being out to dinner with a Dutch couple when we heard someone at the next table say something vaguely racist.

They turned to each other in shock, and the interesting thing was that what they were experiencing wasn't outrage or anger, it was disbelief and confusion. It just didn't compute that someone could possibly say such a thing.

Mind you, that's a few years ago. I think they all hate foreigners now.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The two greatest fears of the Dutch people, b. Giving offence and spending money.
