Wat, another write-off? Oh yes, indeedy. Let?s put some life into dooyoo and get some pennies out, dooyoo owes us, dontchathink? If it weren´t for us clinging faithfully and stubbornly to the comatose site, it would long have been buried in the internet graveyard. Of course we can only become stinking rich if everyone participates and reads everyone else´s ops. According to I Like Blue there are about 100 active members, 100 x 100 that would be wonderful!

This category is just perfect, it doesn´t specify what kind of contribution is expected, you can write on the jewellery you have and like, want to have but can´t afford, detest and would never wear, there must be something for everyone; whatever aspect you choose you can´t be off topic so that even the self-appointed watch-dogs won´t find a bone to pick.

I?ve never really been one for wearing jewellery. I mean, I see those guys, arms dangling out of cars doing their very best to look like a latter day Mr T (for those that can remember, he was the huge coloured dude bedecked with gold jewellery from the A Team). You know the type: music blaring, engine humming and shades suitably ensconced to attract the lay-deez. I guess a notable exception would take us back like a million years?.or at least sixteen. On a warm, sunny September day, I can still recall getting out of a Daimler, both me and my bro? dressed in what we thought then were fashionable suits (it?s funny how your view of fashion is warped in a different time and place).

Next it?s a blur and then I?m standing at the front of this church. Never tell your best-man that you feel nervous. With a circumspect look you may just get the reply ?Do you realise that everybody?s looking at you?? as you turn to realise that
he?s right! Yeah, that?s one way to settle the nerves.

Another blur, another flashback and you?re being handed a ring. In fact there are two rings on a pink cushion, hand-made and attached with pink ribbons. Fine work by a creative lady. With these rings you jointly commit to a number of promises that you can?t specifically list all these years later. What was it, love, honour and obey? Hmmm?.maybe it was protect. Maybe it was even a signed contract. Cripes! Get onto the solicitor and check what got signed. Then again, I?m hardly Britney Spears and I certainly hadn?t got much cash then. Still, that WAS in 1988 and I still wear a gold band, bevelled top and bottom to this day. Of course, my good lady?s matches although we do draw the line there. We really wouldn?t want to be Bev and Kev with ?his and hers? matching towels and the like.

For the detail conscious amongst you, these were specially made for us in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham by a friend of my other half. He was a friend from work who asked us what we wanted and, my good lady being the perfectionist she is, immediately got the drawing pencil and paper out and designed two rings (fellas, note how mine was done for me).

Otherwise, jewellery has never really been my thing. In general, it doesn?t really seem to serve a great practical purpose even if it does look nice on some. Well, not unless you want your own action series on an American Cable channel. ?Whatchoo talking about, sucker?? asked with a growl.

Thanks for reading
