My sister is having an operation on her eyeball next month. She is having a local anaesthetic and heavy sedation but will be awake. I don't think I could do that.

This.
How odd, I love piers.
I love to live in a light house at the end of one.
I'd have my loo where the giant bulb would go. So sailors in peril at sea could see me doing a Brucie.
Okay, now I have a new fear.

I'm assuming this is Bruce Lee...?

This was my first thought;
More like fist on forehead leant over in concentration.
Sorry Google images has no images of Bruce Forsyth having a poo.
I hate peeps that pick their teeth then lick their fingers. It is wrong, vile & vulgar.

A few months ago, when I was back in Skegness with the girlfriend. We went for an evening walk along the beach. Imagine those films where the sun is setting, there's a warm breeze in the air and it feels like you're the only two in the world. Well, it was nothing like that...
The tide was in, I mean really IN. So as we walked along the cold concrete path way, the icy waves lapping at our feet trying not to get dragged out by the currents. The sound of chavs racing their Ford Escorts in the car park. And as we approached the Pier, which was closed off for the winter season. The romantic gesture came to me, for us the clamber over the railings and have the whole pier to ourselves. And so we did. We walked in almost total darkness, along the rickety century old decking, as the sea roared 10 foot below us we reached the end of the hundredish yard pier. We sat at the bench on the end wondering WTF we were doing there. Pitch-black, surrounded by old Victorian decking and a roaring winter sea-below. And then we had to walk back.
I know how to show a girl a good time.

How romantic...a dimly-lit, nautical, near-death experience.

She will never forget it.

Sex with you is clearly never dull Leevil. It's a shame you needed a rusting Victorian superstructure to support you in the act of love-making.
Very romantic.
I would have left you there and then.
