The couple focus is on the newly widowed Daisy Margaret née Ellis Craigmore and Ian Ranulf, Marquis of Northrup. My Take Ach, it’s a sad thing for a man. When he can no longer get it up.

In my early years, my mother chose them for me and then I picked up a few in school, mainly because we were in the same place at the same time. Naturally I ended up with the ones that were the best fit for me but that doesn’t always make it a good choice. As I got older, my tastes became more sophisticated and so I chose a more sophisticated type of friend, but seriously? This from a woman who obsessed over ankle warmers and shoulder pads??
