Nothing like diplomacy to spare the ego.

I change the background on my desktop at work quite often, just because I can. When I am doing something that requires pen and paper rather than screen and keyboard I minimise all applications and then I have something nice to look at. Today there was a picture I took of my favourite Canuck. A colleague had a good look as she walks past. She normally comments on the pictures I put up but I wasn't quite ready for today's exchange.

Her: Who's that then

Me: My toyboy boyfriend

Her: He's rather handsome 

Inner voice: I guess she has to say that, it would be rude to say she doesn't like the look of him but hey I happen to think he is quite hot, but then again I'm biaised. 

Me: Thank you

Her: Are you sure he is your boyfriend? For real?

Inner voice: of course I'm sure you nutter, what do you think, that I cut his picture out of a magazine and scanned it? You weirdo how desperate do you think I am?

Me: Yes I am sure.

See, that's the bit where I should have known better and left it at that. Only I didn't and added the fatal question "why do you ask?"

Her: because he's well out of your league ain'he!
