I’ve got one
Yes, one of these:
It’s a bit of a surprise for Mrs Penguin but I convinced her that I would go into Wolverhampton tomorrow, (which is actually today now) and pick her up a copy. Instead I queued outside Waterstones for 2 hour after midnight in the sodding pouring rain to pick up a copy for her. She better bloody appreciate it in the morning.
Yes, love does do strange things to the otherwise rational mind.

I think my good lady would wonder what I was doing wandering the streets past midnight… and giving her some bullshit story about queuing for a book in the rain just wouldn’t wash.

Not all of us have previous form, Bob.

Thankfully Mrs P seems very happy that I went to such lengths so I think I got a few brownie points for that one. Might even have saved up enough for her to let me go for a beer one of the days.
