I think my best day so far
was Christmas Day 2008. I was staying in a house in Blueys Beach NSW with my then girlfriend and my cousin and her kids and her partner.

We had got up and had champagne and scrambled eggs and smoked salmon for breakfast and then opened presents and then gone to the beach for a swim. Then we came back to the house and prepared dinner, we had a massive ham and a turkey and loads of prawns which we marinated in soy sauce and garlic.

Then me and the eldest kid fired up the BBQ and stood there cooking the prawns and drinking some cold beers.

Then we all say down and had our freshly cooked prawns as a starter, then once we'd cleared the plates away I made the unusual step of standing up and saying a few words.

I thanked my cousin for organising the beach house and all the food and said how grateful we were for letting us stay with her and then I said "I would like to propose a toast, but before I do that I have another proposal to make" and I turned to my then girlfriend and said "I know you weren't expecting this because you expressly forbade me from asking you this on christmas day, but would you do me the very great honour of agreeing to marry me?"

And then she said yes and she cried, and I cried a bit, and my cousin cried and then they all cheered and we drank more champagne.

Sounds a bit bent to me.

how gauche
I went to the most isolated place I could find, so if she said no I could bludgeon her to death and bury her body in a peat bog

I have to say
proposing in front of other people is gauche in the extreme. Talk about put someone on the spot. I don't like Al any more.

I think we should burn him
Or at the very least brand him.

On my phone that looks like "bum him"
the surprising thing is that I actually zoomed in to confirm rather than accepting that was what you'd said.

I was annoyed that a couple of people turned up to admire the stone circle
shortly after I'd proposed. Particularly as they then went on to ruin the photos I was taking of it.

What on earth were tourists thinking, being at the top of a hill on the Outer Hebrides in April ffs.

were they German?
they crop up in odd places, usually trying to avoid other Germans.

My family used to do this all the time.
We'd visit some site on holiday and get really fucking pissed off if anyone else had the bad manners to visit at the same time.

You should be thankful
