And then into the relationship does he read them? Hope you don’t mind the private questions…..<BR/>The truth is ... everything counts. Everything. Everything we do and everything we say. Everything helps or hurts; everything adds to or takes away from someone else. --Countee CullenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10009339.post-6998614645900489082008-01-10T13:02:00.000+00:002008-01-10T13:02:00.000+00:00Always loved Cockfosters :)Always loved Cockfosters :)Peas on Toasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03349482085062035903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10009339.post-71003172882717757682008-01-10T12:54:00.000+00:002008-01-10T12:54:00.000+00:00Yup they are fantastic.There is one stop on the tu...Yup they are fantastic.<BR/><BR/>There is one stop on the tube line that always makes me giggle.<BR/><BR/>Cockfosters. *sighs* I just smiled now ;)<BR/><BR/>Also I love saying another tube stop, Neasden.
