I was reminded of the young Master Wheal this afternoon as I cycled along the Southbank. A couple of newlyweds were standing in front of the London Eye waiting to have their photograph taken. The bride was wearing a strapless dress and was shivering in the cold, while her feckless new hubby stood by with his hands in his pockets and jacket firmly on his back .
Surely his only option in this situation was to wrap his jacket around the shoulders of his new lady wife, thus attending to the needs of the woman whom he presumably only minutes beforehand had promised to love, honour and protect , while also securing a much more interesting photograph than the saccharine laden posed nonsense which will no doubt grace their mantlepiece . I fear this does not bode well – one person’s dream, another’s nightmare.
This provided an ideal illustration of the reason for me being on the Southbank in the first place – a workshop examining the ways we relate to each other and invite others to relate to us. This started with a sheet of paper covered in a series of cartoon images being circulated. Each cartoon portrayed a different pair taking up a position in relation to one another . We were invited to get into pairs, pick one and adopt that position. This resulted in me being down on all fours with two therapists sitting on my back, and each of us reflecting on how the position made us feel.
One has to love a profession in which you pay your own money to give up a Saturday to do such things and still manage to come away thinking it was really quite useful. I know, dear moderators, that this has little to do with the original thread, unless Master Wheal would like a copy of the aforementioned sheet, but it made me smile in considering our respective preferences for more or less active engagement.

With my knees? I can only dream of some positions.

Blogged it for the AOL Daily Finance site after extensive research (and taking the last £260 out of my son's building society account).

Give him a receipt so he can show it to his one trooo love. I'd be hinting like mad at that age about getting my money's worth.

Nicely written. Found a typo Chris...

"The £35 a minute penalty rate Vodafone charged my son appears greedy too."
