aac: we're not related - I met rob back in '91 at university, then shared a house with him in student days. Moved out for a while, then lodged with him later. He was my Best Man, and is Eddie's Godfather.

Clarification please. See answers 9 and 23. Are you gay, straight or bi? Or just not yet sure? Or did you not fill answer 9 in when you copied and pasted from the previous post?

(And don't you live in Melbourne? How can you have a Barbie over there at this time of year? Isn't it all rainy and stuff?)

We now return you to our regular programme.

WHOAH!

Sorry kaz, I just copied the questions off ScarletBea and obviously forgot to change the answer to No. 9, the one that changes the context of the rest.

So:

9. THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT THE OPPOSITE SEX?
Probably the eyes, I think.

Quick, tell me how to edit a post, before the others come!

Aha, there you have a slight problem. You need to register - try clicking 'log in' somewhere, and then set up an account (IIRC). You should then be able to edit any post that you write whilst you're logged in. ie you're currently stuffed.

On the plus side you#ll now be able to design yourself a sig and stuff...

Just joking, I know it's supposed to be an apostrophe, I just wanted to test the editing process.
