The Ultimate Rant

"Nothing keeps a relationship on its toes so much as lively debate. Fortunate, then, that my girlfriend and I agree on absolutely nothing. At all.

Combine utter, polar disagreement on everything, ever, with the fact that I am a text-book Only Child, and she is a violent psychopath, and we're warming up. Then factor in my being English while she is German, which not only makes each one of us personally and absolutely responsible for the history, and the social and cultural mores of our respective countries, but also opens up a whole field of sub-arguments grounded in grammatical and semantic disputes and, well, just try saying anything and walking away."

The above is the introduction to the dangerously long rant entitled Things My Girlfriend & I Have Argued About.

I found this rant, one happy day, many years ago on the internet and it took pride of place in my reading habits for many months, before I mislaid the link at some point. I've tried to find it at various points since, but could never quite remember the title, or Margaret's name, or anything else of use.

I recently stumbled across it again, and even though most of the content has been removed (a significant amount still exists), there's now a mailing list where you can get a bunch of the extra content. I'd highly recommend signing up.

Enjoy :)
