Mauvepink, I am trying very hard to picture the scene if, as I suggested, I puckered up and offered Ake a big old smackeroo. I do find Scottish accents very sexy......

A hug & a kiss for GfS is even less likely. I suspect he's the type that keeps guns in the basement, so I'd probably be shot as I waded across the front lawn through the heaving multitudes of his progeny.
