Not so much tight as broke, but still...
a year or so ago when I was still a student I was delighted to find wasabi beans in Tesco. Mr Quar loves hot spicy food so I excitedly bought two packets.
He was really pleased and tried a few, and sportingly did the 'ooh, jolly hot!' blowing and rolling his eyes thing.
Then while I was feeling all gratified, he said, oh I've got something for you, too - and produced a new, top-of-the-range laptop. Just 'cos he loves me.
