This is a question My Biggest Disappointment

Often the things we look forward to the most turn out to be a huge let down. As Freddy Woo puts it, "High heels in bed? No fun at all. Porn has a lot to answer for."

Well, Freddy, you are supposed to get someone else to wear them.

What's disappointed you lot?

Probably our honeymoon
I can hardly bear to type this. We were skint, she was six months pregnant. My Dad bunged us a £100 or so and we re-visited an earlier scene of my shame and disappointment: Bournemouth, where I'd flunked in year one of a catering degree. It was April and it fucking pissed down. We were in a shite B&B and after a very mediocre pizza and red wine we returned to our room where Mrs G threw up spectacularly for the next couple of days. Didn't have sex once.

We try never to think about those three days. Luckily, shortly after we first met (a couple of years previously) we spent a truly heavenly couple of months hitch-hiking in France and living the life of Riley on the Algarve (if Riley was a pair of horny sun-worshippers with a love of good, cheap sea-food, few inhibitions and boundless energy and stamina).

We also steer clear of St.Valentine's day and most anniversaries - over-rated, the lot of them. If you ever fancy seeing whether it is actually possible to kill someone with a look, try throwing a surprise party for Mrs G. I wouldn't even dare think about it!

p.s. Cheers for all the clicks for my advice last week - truly unexpected! Nearly makes up for the honeymoon.

Are you Baz Luhrmann?

Sorry to say...
I've heard the name bandied about, but know absolutely nothing about him (or her).

Should I?

Baz Luhrmann
Hey Che, he's an Australian director; Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet (yes +! He's just THAT down with the kids) and Moulin Rouge most famously. He also did that novelty Sunscreen song that was briefly popular a few years ago where a guy monotoned on with general advice for people (not a patch on your post though, natch). It was reasonably catchy but I prefer the Denis Leary spoof called Drink Beer. Check it out.

Also, lets have a b3ta whip-round for Honeymoon II.
