Funny – everyone else saw this before we did – bored, on the right.

And, having missed me & HIM chatting – too far away – She didn’t do much better with this one?

Took a while Tim. Wear it with pride on behalf of the others.

Almost certainly the ‘hidden meaning’ is shame or embarrassment that it has taken so long
