Romantic Gestures

[brum]

Some people might say that romance is dead. Are they right? What romantic gesture at Valentine's Day has tugged most strongly at your heart-strings?

I was once given a set of 3 heart-shaped red juggling balls, hand-sewn, kept within a golden heart-shaped box decorated with my initials in sequins and glitter. All hand-made by the lady herself. I still play with them, all these years later, although she's not with me any more.

A passing motorist gave me one of these today:

I think it is a gesture with certain romantic conotations.

"Some people might say that romance is dead. Are they right?"

Pfft...

[brum]

Yes Brendan. Its a traditional English gesture that means.... 'I really like the way you're shouting at me'

[Brendan]

Ahh! I shall employ it liberally upon my next excursion on the Queen?s highway.

You really are a colourful folk.

[brum]

...a word of warning, Brendan - use it too liberally and you may get repetitive strain injury. Other than that, you should be fine.

[Brendan]

I?ve had that before. Got injured through the strain of having my head repetitively trod on.

Tumbleweed rolls gently across the floor.

In the distance, the sound of a single bell tolling - and a dog, woofing.

"This is what it sounds like - when threads die...."

(Prince, Circa 1984)
