It took me about 5 seconds to work out that we'd just had a completely "normal" exchange (even the eye contact was 'right'). Then I had to pick myslef up off the floor. 7 years I've waited for this!

Bet it never happens again

I quite like Hi-5- better than bloody teletubbies (which he still watches), or Thomas. I like laughing at Tim's dancing (compare him with Nathan ).
