I am so inordinately hard-bitten and cynical on the outside
because I have such old-fashioned and unattainable ideals on the inside. The disparity between how I think things should be and how I have discovered they really are has crushed me time and time again.

I think my idea of 'really romantic' might be different from many people's. I would find a lot of things really cheesy and embarrassing that others might love. But if something was heartfelt and impulsive I would possibly man-swoon.

What do you imagine you'd find romantic that others wouldn't?

A cheeky nosh in Bejam's car park after 'Gremlins 2'.

Did you get her Gremlin wet?
And did it multiply several times?

I certainly 'fed it' after midnight, knoworramean?

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink - say no more!
You could take your daughter to see Gremlins.

Are you implying I am some sort of Bert-style nonce?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 29 Sep 2010, 16:00, Reply)

Yes and no.
Yes, in so far if you took her to see Gremlins then based on what you said happened in Bejam's car park then clearly I'm suggesting similar.

No, You are now able to take your daughter to the cinema without a SWAT team standing over you thanks to the revised view of life by your mentalists ex.

It always bugged me in Gremlins that they never specified when after midnight it was ok to feed them again
because technically all time is after midnight.

I'm not sure, but I think it was fictional.

You'll be telling me next that there is NO WAY that Ghostbusters could have defeated Gozer by crossing the streams. Plus 'The Force' is made up too, it wouldn't work.

Not everything in the cinema is fictional.
Take 'Back to the Future' for example.

I've never seen a Delorean. Why? Because they are all being driven around in the 1950's.

You lack the chipper cockney spirit that would make every day a blessing
You need some form of Baldrick type servant.
