Scene at Primrose Hill (nice picnic spot in London) earlier today...
Friend: 'I have told my girlfriend that she better take a holiday from next Friday' ..
Me (in quizzical mode:) ' Why - is your old girlfriend back in town... maybe you have a project deadline at ayour Consulting Firm..'
Friend: 'Mate, are you f...ing stupid...'
Friend's (current) girlfriend: 'Aw..Shut up Neil....'
Me (with duh look on face): 'Did I say something wrong...well what I meant about his old girl friend is that she is an old friend who happens to be a girl..'
Friend: ' Its the England vs. USA game next Friday and we are having a pre World Cup Warm-up party at my place next Wednesday. That's also the official send-off party for the World Cup Widows..all the boys from office are chipping in...Shopping vouchers, spa treatment offers and photography classes in Camden for every WCW member.....all arranged.. its all set mate !!'..
So that set my tiny marketing brain into 5th gear...there must be a huge market for anxious WCW's trying to figure out the best ways to enjoy the 30 days from June 11 to July 11...
So here are my top tips for you ..
1. Learn a skill..for instance to give the perfect foot/back/hand massage...and practice on your loving husband when he watches the footy. Actually a hand/thumb massage would be the best bet because your poor husband would be exhausted with all the channel flipping with the outdated remote...
2. Buy a beer machine/taco chip dispenser for your thirsty and hungry partner. Gifts by the dozen are bound to follow.
3. Befriend his boss's WCW...so next time your partner has to call in to report sick on the day of the Brazil-England game, all you do is call the boss's WCW and pass on the message. You will have all the time with your partner at home.
4. Record the highlights of the games he will miss when he is away for important meetings and make sure they are played back on the telly the minute he steps home...You can be rest assured of your 50th wedding anniversary celebration at St. Tropez..
5. Comment on Ronaldo's abs and hair style while he blasts in his second goal against North Korea (25th June, just in case you did not know the date)... and for a juicy preview, do watch the Vanity Fair cover of this month.

Valentines Day Part 2, 3 and 4 will follow in quick succession from your loving partner..
Good luck and don't forget to send in your love filled photos...
