    So why don't we all resolve to give an anonymous gift to someone this year, just to make their day that little bit more magical?

    Put me down for Elle MacPherson, if you're going to send me anything anonymously, it may as well be something I'd like.

    What about Daniel Craig and that Welsh Eoin Whathisname from all those BBC sailing dramas?

    Ioan Gruffudd - what odds that he was born Ian Griffith?

    meh, that's probably mean of me to say that.

    But hey, are he & Craig a couple?

    Maybe if I'd written messages like that my plans would have had more success.

    Didn't enhance my sex/love life all that much :)

    I was once sent strawberries & champagne anonymously, with a very promising note...

    ...by the time I found out who it came from (very attractive woman of my acquaintance!) she'd gone off me. :(

  • Up Front: Isn't It Romantic?,

    When I was single I used to use the day to give out anonymous cards and gifts to women I was attracted to.

    I once sent an anonymous valentine to a friend working as a geologist in the field somewhere remote in the West Coast. "Roses are red, violets are blue, I'd sever my leg, for an evening with you".

    Did me no good, but apparently the helicopter pilot who gashed his leg the very day before my card turned up had a surprisingly enjoyable last few weeks onsite.

    The basic premise is that romantic fiction creates a sense of false expectations that damages women's ability to form good relationships

    Couple this with the premise that porn does the same for men... and we're doomed I tell you, DOOMED!

    although the final shape of the Bitch Trading Scheme is yet to be determined.

    There's a Cactus Kate joke in there somewhere....

  • Island Life: Go hard or go home,

    Why don't we sponsor some NZ enterprise to develop a line of exercise machines that capture all that energy and feed it back into the national grid.

    You could go one step further and require all those receiving the unemployment benefit to spend 30 minutes a day generating power.

    A long toime ago, the MED discovered & dismantled the water turbine my mad (in a good way) uncle built under the bridge the carried his driveway over a small stream... the turbine heated the hot water cylinder in his home.

    Undeterred, and still concerned about the price of power, he wired an old exercycle up to a dynamo, and insisted his teenage children cycle for 20 minutes before entering the shower.

    He was ahead of his time.

    Sadly, the denizens don't seem to share your enthusiasm for the new PM's choice of dance partners.

    Remind anyone else of the Blue Wiggle?
