Grand gestures and small proposals...
Posted by Paul Baker on May 11, 2007 3:07 PM
A friend of mine tells me that a girl he works with was recently proposed to while holidaying in Venice.
Her boyfriend got down on one knee in a gondola. His female colleagues gathered gleefully around her mobile phone to gush at the low-res pics of rings and smiles, glowing there in her hand.
He thinks surely we men can do better than this.

Sipping steaming cha with Buddha Benitez...

Once upon a time I was playing footy and I was becoming tired and irritated. Every time I hit the ball I struck it either too high or made it very easy to save.
An angelic wave of glory transfigured me briefly and suddenly I started hitting the ball sweetly every time.
The football would lift off the ground but stay low and powerful so that it was difficult, nay, impossible to stop. I scored so many goals that day my friends. There may have been laurel wreaths and women feeding me grapes and milk from coconut shells, I forget the finer details of my beatification.
The next time I played football I had forgotten how to kick the ball. You see, miracles tend not to happen twice.
