Does Hansom have a capital 'H', spoken (written?) like a true pedant.

Regarding the blow job, I must ask the question how did you find out?

No it doesn't but I always think it does, because it is the name of the bloke who invented it.

I did a google image search, and came up with some good pictures, and then exercised my imagination. Fortunately the girl in question is a dancer so a)small and b)bendy!

There is no question, you can certainly have some fun with this writing lark can't you?

While I was writing that Madame Bovary sprang to mind. Isn't there a bit about a couple having it away in a horse-drawn cab in that. The horse kept stopping for rest and the man inside kept shouting 'Drive on!'

If I remember rightly such activity then became know in Paris as 'Having a Bovary' or what ever it would be in French.

'Avoir un Bovary' sounds even better in French. Or would it be 'une'?

Emma

I suppose it really depends on who is having whom. I am never really sure. Again, as the French have it. 'One kisses, the other offers the cheek'. Vive la difference!

Auvoir

Jean

Or the case of the French, both cheeks.

Yes, well...

Emma

An why not? I sometimes sign my letters 'with kisses on the bottom' and there are the little x's in a row. I let the recipent decide my intent.

If I can bring a smile to someone's face or a glow to their cheeks then I will. A little mild flirtation is good for the soul. It lifts the spirits and lightens the step and done discretely and kindly it harms no one.
