[Henry P]

Ugh! Blood-sucking b*stards!

[Maryd.]

Golf?

[Henry P]

Like watching the closing stages of big tournaments, but in real life, it's a good walk spoiled

[Maryd.]

True. I find it boring to watche and like you I would rather walk.

[Henry P]

it can be fascinating to watch and requires great skill

I like Secret Love- Now I shout it from the highest hill, my secret love's no secret any more!

[Maryd.]

Have you seen the movie she plays it in 'Calamity Jane?'

[Henry P]

Yes, with Howard Keel. Nice film

[Maryd.]

I just love Howard Keels voice. So deep and dreamy.

[Henry P]

[Maryd.]

You think! I did. A crush big time.

[Maryd.]

Ok, but I have already given away one of mine, tell me one of yours.

I had a huge thing for Robert Palmer.

[Henry P]

I liked him too. Very stylish in looks and music. He was born near here

[Henry P]

He was born only a few miles away in Batley, where I worked

[Maryd.]

Did you ever meet him?

[Henry P]

No way. His parents moved out when he was a kid.

[Maryd.]

Shame ha?

I would love to have met him before he passed away.

[Henry P]

I taught a kid called Robert Palmer, a tw*t and a thief

[Maryd.]

No comparison ha?

[Henry P]

none.

[Maryd.]

Massages?

[Henry P]

Never really had one. Here massage parlour is synonymous with brothel

[Maryd.]

Really. Honestly I don't like them. I am pedantic about who puts there hands on me. Plus I have always associated a massage with physical pleasure.

[Henry P]

Same here. I wouldn't let a man do it, but a woman might give me unexpected consequences

[Maryd.]

I bet she would...

And do your clothes smell fresh and fragrant - and clean?

[Henry P]

yes, they do

[Maryd.]

So now, was it well worth the wait?

[Henry P]

yes, after all

[Maryd.]

We women are fussy, but we look for quality. Might cost an extra dollar or so, but at least we make our men happy. (Well most of the times anyway)

[Henry P]

if you say so

[Maryd.]

No I don't say so, I hope so.

[Henry P]

okay.

[Maryd.]

Children?

[Henry P]

[Henry P]

i love steam trains too. There is a great train museum 25 miles away in York, which I love

[Maryd.]

Oh I am so visiting that, if I ever travel up your way.

[Henry P]

[Maryd.]

Thank you sir. If you ever come to Melbourne I take you to Puffin Billy. They say it's for children, but I love it.

[Ian The Poet]

Love trains, especially steam trains.
Buses

[Maryd.]

Don't mind buses, but especially double-decker, they are a novelty here.

[Henry P]

women priests?

[Maryd.]

If they do the job, then fine by me.

Oooh hate them... Drive me batty.

People who are too forward?

[Poetic Lass]

That is a tricky one, Mary. I'll have to say like/dislike. With me, it'd depend on the situation.

The smell of rain?

[Henry P]

Dislike, but it's a fine line between forward and just right

[Maryd.]

That is a tricky one, Mary. I'll have to say like/dislike. With me, it'd depend on the situation.

Dislike, but it's a fine line between forward and just right
