My wife says I'm a bit insane: "You're downloading every day, You never eat, you rarely wash, You say monosyllabic tosh... You take no notice of my hips, God, damn them all at Englishtips!" Oh honey, let me just explain What I'm doing here each day. I'm sure that you will understand Then you'll get pregnant as we planned. "I'd rather download all these books Than have it on the side in nooks. Or drink much vodka or champagne, Or tease some angry bulls in Spain". So let me finish what I've started and our kid won't be retarded. I have to check out on this link, I'll be right by you in a blink." And then she kissed me on the lips... my God, I love the Englishtips!
