# A quick perusal of my CD shelf
reveals some corkers. The 3 Tenors, Way too much Boyzone and Ronan Keating. Queen, an inordinate amount of those 'It's a party, 400 megamixed songs you forgot you fucking hated when they first appeared briefly that summer', and Britney.

That's the thing with marriage. After a while your music collection no longer defines you as a person. It's just some hideous amalgamate that follows you around like a wart you can't get rid of.

# :O
I personally would never have allowed the Boyzone ones in the house

# I concur.
But that's the other thing with marriage. There is a point and you never quite know when it happened but at that point you no longer have any actual control over anything that comes into the house be it music, wallpaper or soft furnishings. Archie has already taken the piss out of my curtains.

# My new curtains are going to be plain white egyptian cotton.
This sounds quite nice, but when you consider that I'm going to be painting the living room almost Cadbury purple, it all goes a bit wrong.

# no, that's the best contrast/option to go with
our old bedroom was like that

# Luckily it's a big room
actually, here you go. This is pretty much exactly my living room, except 100 and something years ago. It's exactly the same dimensions.

I was weirded out when I first saw this, until I saw the town name, as that means it's not my living room. But it damn well could be.

# It's a pretty much standard
Victorian parlour which would be on either side of the front entrance hallway and door. The other side would have been your guest reception room where your callers would be asked to wait.
I like bays like that but we (her )have decided that the next house will be very contemporary and glass.

# There's no pretty much standard about it
I get naked in there.

Say what you like, I love it. That, the original veranda and the fact that, even stood on the coffee table, the wife can't reach the ceiling.

# :S
That rather freaked me too! It is very much like my house!

# here
are my curtains that Archie 'loves' so much.
My aunt made them by hand after her and she went out shopping for cloth. I keep well out of all that stuff.

# Hmmmm
not exactly to my tastes, but then I'm an odd one.

# what?
All I can say is I had nothing to do with it. They just appear every few weekends like insidious virus'. Leslie Garrett is in there a few times but I forgive that as her and the wife are chums.

# Oh I'm not one to talk
I listen to Justin Timberlake.

I know, I know.

# I regret to say I quite like a lot of Madonnas more recent stuff,
and I may never recover from actually really liking Toxic by Britney.
