Err - John. I - er - don't have a daughter. I'm nowhere near having
a daughter. I'm not even part of a couple yet. And not only that
but when I do start going out with someone, I kinda hope
it'll be with a girl who doesn't want any children.
I buy the Paradisa for *me*. (Or perhaps that should be "It is
for me that I keep not buying the Paradisa but if I had managed to
buy it then it'd be for me...") <grin>
(Of course, being single does have the advantage that I have
a lot more money to spend on Lego. And I can build up my collection
more rapidly without having to justify every acquisition to
someone and then getting looked at in a disapproving kind of
way...)
