It's the butter and garlic that make the dish.<br /><br />Sir B once offered me a spin on his bike (in a comment, not while I was bobbing along looking keen) and I haven't taken him up on it yet. Maybe this year? I've never married a policeman though, not even a Special Constable. I don't know why I didn't read Midnight's Children ... yes I do, it was because of the hype. Put me off. And of course i know who Timmy Mallett was, he was on tv when my children were young. I seem to remember he did a cover of Itsy Bitsy Teensie Weensie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini too, which I'll feel a bit embarrassed about misremembering if I'm wrong, but I'm afraid it doesn't say a lot about your taste in boyfriends if I'm right.
