Enjoyable read.

I think I would be loathed to give the individuals too much credit.

For example, i feel compelled to tell you that aside from watching French films, I'm pretty sure a book is as good as a girlfriend I've decided, for digesting conversations from, that rich glow of excitement and surprises, and is also cheaper to take to other countries on holidays. Unless you use Ryan Air, where they probably charge a culture tax at customs.

She almost made a friend, but she proceeded to ask me if I knew Christ, and I asked her if she
meant did I know him personally.
She then said, yes, of course, I do, he's my best friend...
