“Bah!” “Schleur!” “Argherrirghingdd!” I’m a man of few words, and these were the ones I chose to express myself when I opened the front door to see my business partner. We left the bags with Ed’s girlfriend, Louise, went up to my room, shut the door, and got straight to it – opening Christmas presents.

 

As a budding young neuroscientist, Ed got me a nerve cell from the Giant Microbes range of cuddly toys (spot the error), and as a budding young city worker, I got Ed a wooden tie! Both gifts were of course exactly what we wanted, and after one more hug, Louise made it upstairs with the bags. Nice timing.

 

I’m so happy… Argherrirghingdd!
