What was your first date like? How did you/she/he propose? <br />and so on. And do you know how many of them didn't exactly know? And I would think: Bloody hell, you should remember. But now, thanks to your post, I realise there is way more to memories than meets the eye, and you should never let truth get in the way of a good story.

Don't let this happen to you. It happened any way you want it to happen. Which is, clearly, that he pushed you. If nothing else, he psychologically pushed you by taking you to a place well outside your comfort zone.

Don't you hate it when so much time has gone by and you really can't remember the actual facts due to years of "ever so slight" embellishment. If you really think hard, I believe the man carrying the stretcher was none other than Simon Baker, who did have to administer some mouth to mouth as the coldness of the snow had taken your breath away. I'm sure that happened.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
