mc_mikeIn case you couldn't ruddy hear my smile across the far recesses of the good ol' UK, let me catch you up:
Yesterday morning, as I'd the bloody incredible fortune of waking up next to my gorgeous girlfriend and I was thinking how sodding brilliant it'd be to wake up next to her all ruddy the time, a ring found it's way into my possession. Being a sharp wizard, I seized the opportunity and took the risk to make the brilliance permanent. Jammy bastard I am, Padma agreed.
What? Couldn't hear it? You're needing me to say it again? No, don't ruddy mind if I do.
Padma and I are engaged.
Well wishes, bottles of champagne, good-natured heckling, and other gifts and goodies offering congratulations are more than appreciated and expected from those who know who they are.

There's casual...and then there's - oh forget it, what do I know of it?
Re: Private IO to Su
Date: 2006-11-22 05:52 am (UTC)And then our kids can be best friends and grow up together like we did? Or I can be the favourite uncle if I'm a bachelor forever.
What? You think she's...what? Tell me. I can't discuss this with anyone else, you know?
Re: Private IO to Kevin
Date: 2006-11-22 05:57 am (UTC)Maybe.
I don't know anything about it. I really shouldn't be giving my opinion on it.

Date: 2006-11-22 06:23 am (UTC)Morag hates Millicent and Millicent hates Morag.
You don't like Millicent, but I don't she hates you.
What am I supposed to do? Ignore her to make my friends happy but be miserable myself?
Re: Private IO to Kevin
Date: 2006-11-22 06:30 am (UTC)I don't like her because she's not shown herself to be a particularly nice person. She's bitter, she's sarcastic, and she feels the need to make comments on people's Firelogs for the sheer purpose of causing upset. In that sense she's no different than Greengrass or Davis.
Has she been unkind to me personally? No, but she's not been kind to some of my friends.
Have I ever asked you to ignore her? You're free to do as you will - I just ask that you not expect me to take to her simply because of your interest.
On a romantic perspective, I believe you could do far better, yes. You deserve someone that shows you the same sort of passion that you're capable of.
Re: Private IO to Su
Date: 2006-11-22 06:52 am (UTC)I've seen her be nice and interesting. I know she doesn't show it much, but she shows me. She's smart, Su, and good to talk to.
I know. I know she does that, but I think there's reason for it.
I've never even got close to having anything resembling passion with her, Su. And I doubt that will ever happen, considering. There's nothing to talk about so forget I asked.
Re: Private IO to Kevin
Date: 2006-11-22 07:02 am (UTC)I never said she wasn't smart, but being nice to one or two people and cruel and cold to the majority doesn't make you a nice person. And there should be "reasons" why it's permissible to be unkind to others.
You ask for my opinion, and decide to stop talking about it once I tell you something you dislike - despite my warning you that you would not like it.
Relationship or not, there is still something there, Kev. Even if it is one-sided. And it will not just go away because you try to ignore it.
Re: Private IO to Su
Date: 2006-11-22 07:11 am (UTC)I know.
That's not why I stopped talking about it. I stopped because I'm being ridiculous.
You think I don't know that? I've tried it and it didn't work at all.
Re: Private IO to Kevin
Date: 2006-11-22 07:31 am (UTC)You're being ridiculous about which part, exactly? I've heard nothing 'ridiculous' thus far. You know that I would tell you if I thought as much.
So don't ignore it. Talk about it.
