IN VICTORIA’S EMPIRE...

Everything makes sense
There are no rules, except Victoriansims
There is no religion, except Victorianism
M&Ms are part of an essential diet
Curtsys are allowed

People who drive SUVs should...

...not park on blind corners or on blind rises unless their tank is glass, or really wants to be in the middle of a three car pile-up
...also consider that not everyone else on the road is driving an SUV, and not drive in the middle of their lane, under the impression that people behind them, who happen to be driving jelly beans, can see through them
...not drive up little cars’ asses and try and bully them into driving faster
...not think they have superior rights just because their cars cost the same as a four bedroomed house in the northern suburbs

On Marriage

AKA wedlock (rhymes with headlock)
Why is it, when a happily-living-together couple is blessed with the news of a third life entering the equation, the ever-so sensitive topic of marriage has to enter the fray?
The ring: my absolute favourite! The close-up Hollywood scene of eligible bachelor kneeling down with little box in hand, slowly opening to reveal multiple-carated ring to the gasp of soon-to-be fiancĂ©…what is that? Is the size of the ring over compensation for little man syndrome?
The dress: favoured by traditionalists and dreamt about by girls from knee-height onwards, oh the white dress? Come on? In this day and age? Let’s all get over ourselves.
The handover: from father to be husband, does she really need male guardianship for her entire life?
The definition of self in relation the man: why is it that so many women take such exuberant happiness out of being Mrs. so & so?
** Note: these are not entirely rhetorical questions; if someone out there really does have one or more of the answers, I would love to be enlightened.
