It's all about love, loss and the meaning of life and is guaranteed to make the most cold hearted cynic melt into a sentimental puddle. I was actually very surprised when Mumford picked it out of the library as I thought I was one of only about 7 people world wide who had every heard of the movie, let alone watched it! However, pick it out he did and we proceeded to spend the next couple of hours alternately laughing, sighing and having a bit of a blubber.
Yes, indeed. The tissues were out, and not just for me ...
The remarkable thing, however, was what happened next.
Having wiped his eyes and blown his nose, my Beloved suddenly turned into Uber Bloke.
The washing machine was doing its usual unbalanced thing and making a racket, so Uber Mumford leapt immediately to the shed to retrieve the shifting spanner and fix the problem.
Not enough. Testosterone levels obviously still required some topping up, so the next thing I know he's out changing the oil and water in the car. And washing it. Inside and out.
All this followed by a prolonged piss in the back yard to really show who's boss.
So this is my advice to all you girls out there who need something manly done around the house. Show your bloke an incredibly soppy, guaranteed three hankie movie and not only are your troubles over, your drains are unclogged, your roof is fixed and your garden watered. Brilliant!
