    I can save it as a pdf but can't upload it here as if it was a photo. Any ideas?

    There are several sites that will convert .pdf files to image files for free.

    My wife gave my the Moonwatch Only book and a gift card for our local mountaineering store. ;)

    In the past, she has offered to buy me a watch, but she always wanted me to pick it out, and the logistics just don't seem practical.

    I’d go for the watch every time. The threesome thing holds no interest for me, it would ruin the intimacy between my wife and I and that would be devastating.

    Yes a lovely watch is more reliable.:thumbsup:

    A few years ago I nearly married a lady who liked to 'yodel up the furry canyon'.::shy:: Fortunately, just in time, I realised that she could not be relied on to behave in the best interest of matrimonial sustainability. That being the case, I decided to opt for a more, domesticated, predictable lady....... and married a Peruvian Inca!:D

    (All very unseemly for Omega Forums)::confused2::

    I wiould have taken the watch. A watch will last a lifetime, in that situation, i might have only lasted 1 minute.

    For my fortieth I got a Kawasaki Ninja sportbike... had a riotous good time with that over the next few years and then chucked it and got a classy little Vespa. which has been a good friend for a decade now.

    The moral? In the long run, the classy vintage is always better than the fast chick...

    he shoulda got the watch.....

    Nothing exciting in terms of pictures but it's from our national broadsheet newspaper so they set themselves a higher standard than the average tabloid paper.

    I assume the 1st photo is the author, 2nd needs no explanation...;)

    Actually, the 2nd is probably close to reality, the two ladies enjoying each other and the man either:
    a. already finished
    b. suffering from performance anxiety and unable to get involved
    c. checking OF on his iphone

    IMO, an extremely well written piece.
