How nice to have a little humour again.
On a positive note, I shall now be operating my gentle summer breeze
emulator whilst ensuring my selected harmonic pipes are, indeed, in
harmony.
A gentle squeeze of the cuddlesac and away we go.

I think the idea is probably that you bring your own date. But I'm sure an
ad hoc committee can make appropriate arrangements for you.

Oh go on . . .. In this spirit of frankness and openness, we need to
know.
Whilst we're there, I'm certain that any French speakers will advise
against a careless translation of 'pipe-making'.

I had hoped we might avoid any distasteful references to leather and
cane.
However, these things must be faced.

How could we forget bindings, wrappings, bridles, straps and
