    I quite like "beloved".

    Yeah, I like that too. An ex used to call me that. A far sight nicer than what he calls me now, for that matter.

    The one that I get really, really irritated by is being called "Mrs". Makes me see red.

    I can't speak for Mrs, but I detest being called Ms.

    How about "Beneficiary", as in Friends With.

    "So and so was the beneficiary of her largesse"?

    Well, there's a shade of difference in meaning between 'lover' and, say 'bonk', or 'fuckbuddy' or 'shag'.

    Quite. 'Lover' is much worse.

    That tenth time is when they ask: so when did you get married? Then I look like a liar.

    Actually, you've done that to me, and I've known you for years. There was a time recently when you referred to your wife, and in the back of my head, I thought "they got married? They got married and I wasn't INVITED?"

    Personally, I like to use the word "lover". It makes people so gloriously uncomfortable.

    Especially when you say it luuuverrrr.

  • Hard News: Hobbit Wars,

    A bit of a bummer when "triple Academy Award winner" is not enough for independent identity, huh?

    Every time we drove past it, I'd snicker and mutter "yes please".

    Far out, it is bad! Bring back the sympathy and attention! We need it after all!"

    I can't speak for anyone else, but you have my sympathy. I cried driving along Victoria Street. And Papanui Road.

    I hope they have heaps of support.

    Truckloads. Mostly in the form of mocking them for moving in with their parents. But, you know, with love. That's how we roll in the Wegan family.

    And how come we didn't see you at the pub on Saturday?

  • Up Front: Lessons from Nature,

    I hate to imagine the mental state I'd be in if my home had been damaged and if I was still having to use a Portaloo, like the good folk of Brooklands are.

    Oh, Lilith, my cousin's pretty much destroyed house is in Brooklands, and we we went out there on Saturday morning. I really don't know how people are doing it.
