What makes you think he was joking?

I don't know that he was joking, but I prefer to think that my fellow CPians are too emotionally mature to play such pranks on strangers.
I could, of course, be wrong.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

That's just silly. She probably thought a nice, wholesome person such as yourself was shopping for his ailing grandmother or donating to a local animal shelter (Tesco's does have a facility to accept such generosity). Oh, wait, it's you ... that would be even madder ... elephant it is.

Please let this be a true story.
(Not the diet or getting hit by a car part, but the part where you actually told that story...)

Gads, what I wouldn't give to spend a day at the bar swapping tales with you, lad! Unlike most here, I happen to believe that this really happened; it's something I would have said. It brings to mind an impromptu discussion I started once about raising Naugas in the garage as a child. Back then, their hides were quite in fashion, and as I was ad libbing the details of their care and feeding, a fellow on the stool next to me chimed in, elaborating on his own childhood experiences as an amateur Nauga rancher. We had the entire bar rapt with interest in our tales for several hours, and sadly, neither of us was sober enough to write down all we'd said. That's the pity; it would have been an excellent "Raising Naugas for Dummies" book, and we could both have retired by now on the royalties.
I encourage you to learn from my experience, and get to work on a diet book for the masses, to be sold next to the Globe and National Enquirer at the checkout.

I told that to my wife and we laughed so hard that there were tears in our eyes. I can't wait to tell it at our Thanksgiving party today. If you can't make it as a programmer, then you must give comedy a try.
Speaking of which, I heard this one recently:
A tough looking group of hairy bikers are riding when they see a girl about to jump off a bridge, so they stop. The leader, a big burly man, gets off his bike and says, “What are you doing?”
“I’m going to commit suicide,” she says. While he doesn’t want to appear insensitive, he also doesn’t want to miss an opportunity, so he asks, “Well, before you jump, why don’t you give me a kiss?” She does, and it is a long, deep, lingering kiss. After she’s finished, the tough, hairy biker says, “Wow! That was the best kiss I’ve ever had! That’s a real talent you’re wasting. You could be famous. Why are you committing suicide?” "My parents don’t like me dressing up like a girl…”

First and Foremost, I was surprised with so much posting on HONEYMOON.
Many really want it or had a memorable time. I belong to the later.
As for the winner.
1. @den2k88sen sent me email with solution
2. @ManfredRBihy posted an anagram of it. Could not accept it as solution
3. @User-11407112 posted as off hand remark
If @User-11407112 has posted it as solution, he would have been winner. But it was an off hand remark.
So den2k88sen is the ultimate winner.
sorry guys
cheers,
Super

We got married in Szeged, Hungary. Two days later we took the night train to Munich, then on to Paris for three days before arriving back in Blighty.

If that is the same person, they should use that avatar instead of the default Grey Bob.

Should use which one? The one CP shows by default or the one I use elsewhere?

If you are happy to use that as your avatar on Stack Exchange, then there is nothing stopping using that one on both sites. Unless you don't want your gender / sexual orientation known here (which I could understand)
So do you want to be "known" here as a lady, or as the androgynous drones most of the rest of us are?

OriginalGriff wrote: want to be "known" here as a lady,
Of course I would love to be know as a lady here. The only lady who participates regularly here in The Lounge, I guess
But changing my avatar here, is something I didn't think much about as it doesn't get displayed while you're posting or commenting on something in the forums.
Well yeah, I will change it now

OriginalGriff wrote: you don't want your gender / sexual orientation known here
Nope that isn't the case here.
As Pomey said I never hid it that I'm a girl. Corrected three or four times whenever they used the word "he" for me
Changing the evatar is what I've not done yet, but will shortly.

Does it matter? The default pronoun on the net is "He" unless you know explicitly that the poster is female - better than "It" I guess.
And remember: the internet is a place where Men are Men, Women are Men, and Children are FBI Agents...
