Hmf, I say
… on discovering that my girlfriend’s pet name for Kenneth Branagh is The Blonde Babe. She hastened to reassure me that her pet name for me was Babe with a Brain, but I’m not sure that’s a long-standing term of endearment.
I cannot wait for this long weekend, though my only plans so far are to attend a fancy dress party in some borrowed 70s gear. And hopefully to make good on some of those dark mutterings about ‘Projects’ and the like that never actually go anywhere.

Hmmm. Are you sure the name Blond Babe refers to Kenneth Brahagh himself, as opposed to Hamlet as played by Kenneth Branagh? (ahem)

Not. Helping.

You think babe with a brain is a bad affectionate term…you have no idea how bad things can get!!! Just ask Enda…the man who ogles any women over the age of forty…i need not worry about the young spritely half-naked people around Dublin…just their mothers…and perhaps my own mother for that matter…trust me kenneth brannagh is the thinking woman’s crumpet…although Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy wins hands down every time!

AWVC uses the Markdown formatting system, a very simple way to format your comments. Whitespace is converted directly. Enclose a phrase with asterisks to italicise, and two asterisks (**) to embolden. A good introduction to the Markdown format is available here.
Cleverly, though, the preview is basically useless (it will just show what you've typed). If you want a real preview, enter your text into the Markdown Dingus, then re-enter it here.
