Congratulations to both of you, hope it goes okay Borstal, and praise the lord those ducks didn't turn on you Adam. They're tempestuous creatures. I should tell you about how I lost my leg back in '81 one day...

I'm thinking of proposing to my girlfriend actually. Things have really come together in our relationship recently, but there's a number of things in the way, it's pissing me off. She's a vegetarian; fine in itself, but I'm not gonna be fed carrots for the rest of my life . The other problem is my parents. As much as I love them, they're having trouble accepting her for who she is, which is totally different to every other girl I've been out with and totally different to them. I don't think they'd have such a problem if no one else did. My friends think I'm weird, my girlfriend doesn't have many friends.

And I need to talk it through with my parents. They'll stand by me through thick and thin, but her family don't even live with her anymore. She's kinda a recluse. I don't even know why it is I like her, it's really just one of those situations where beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

So I don't know. I feel like I should ask her to marry me, do the honourable thing and all. On the other hand, she's a donkey.

Re- your proposal. Based upon the reaction of those around me this last few days (from family mainly) I realised just how big a deal an engagement is. Family who I haven't seen for the best part of a decade have crawled out of the woodwork to send their wishes, with the whole thing adding up to a situation much bigger than I ever imagined. Its nice to be so popular, but Im kinda shy, and the girlfriend isn't exactly showy either, so its all proved a tad overwhelming if Im honest. What Im basically saying ED, is don't do it unless you're sure, and do it for the right reasons. God, I hope that doesn't sound preachy.

God, I can't tell you how much I'm laughing right now. I even said she was a donkey in the last sentence

or is Adam totally just overlooking my beastiality?

Sorry Juan. Some of Lizs friends have now complained to their husbands/fiances how lacking in girly romance their proposals were. One did it by text. (FAIL).

I love this film. Sandra Bullock is just magnetic, and Ryan Reynolds is SO dreamy.

Oh, wait, not that the Proposal? Okay. Congratulations Borst.

How did she react? Did it rain?

Me and my brother-in-law went out on xmas day to collect some chairs and went about our secret mission. We went to the country park/forest behind my sisters house and walked up the steps at the side which overlooks the snow covered farmland. I decided to place the log in a tree which could only be seen if you looked right at it.

When we got back to my sisters busy house I gave it 20 minutes (in which time ma Borstal was already stressing about getting the xmas dinner ready) so I said to Liz that I was getting a bit wound up so did she want to come for a walk with me for 20 minutes. Luckily she said yes so we set off to the forest. As we were walking up the steps I said to her that its a pity there wasn't any logs about as we could have got my sister some for her fire. I pointed out that there was one on some branches and she went to look and said 'look, theres something written on it' and she started to read it 'Liz....oh look it says Liz!....will....you.............' (confused look on her face). As she turned round I was down on my knee and I asked her. The scene was perfect, in front of us was the snow covered forest and behind us a blanket of snow on the farm fields which was slightly foggy.

She was in total shock and filled up with tears. I phoned my BIL and asked him to come and pick us up. Then when we got back I waited until Ma Borstal came downstairs and said look at this log I found. And when she read it her jaw dropped to the floor, cue many tears and some glasses of champagne!

FTW.
