My Valentine's vegetable
We (the 3 Cosmestons) were all secretly hoping that this would be the year when we got that elusive Valentines gift. To our surprise, we did receive something: not the bouquet of red roses that we were hoping for (actually tulips are my favourite, in case anyone wants to buy them for me), but a swede decorated as a dog with permanent marker! Along with this most interesting gift came a note, saying:
“Rheged the Rugged sends you his hound
Who speaks of his love with never a sound…
Will you requite it?”
You may recognise the name as a certain person’s web alias (we later found that this person actually had nothing to do with the gift). A contact number was also provided, allowing us to concoct an attempt at a witty reply.
“Hello Rheged the Rugged,
We have an inkling who you are.
We thank you for your veggie gift
Although it was bizarre!
Your hound was very lovely,
Its smell was most divine,
But we’re not so sure of how you smell,
So we think we must decline.
Your love for us must know no bounds,
To win our best affections
But we’re shocked to see that other girls
Are also your selections.
If you really love us, we will need more convincing!”
Shortly after we sent this message, we received a reply saying that they had played no part in it and had no idea what we were talking about. We still are not sure who is behind the gift, although I would like to have words with a certain co-president!
We can still live in hope of a genuine Valentine’s gift: although the day is almost over, there are still another 364 days in which you can make up for the lack of a gift (or risk the consequences!).

It so is Dave, it has to be.
But Dave is convinced that it's not him! The list of suspects included: Dave, Ian, Jamie, Bov, Matt Bater and Dayo. All of these people have denied it with such honesty that I really don't think any of them are responsible. Which takes us back to square one...
