"You should know - it looks a bit girly", she warned me. But I thought she might be exaggerating - perhaps overly fearful that I'd be immediately put off by a few flowery embellishments, or a spot of lavender text on the box. I never know to what extent my manliness, which I can't turn off, might inadvertently conceal my softer side and open-mindedness. In any case, it was a kind offer not to be missed, and it would surely be worth overcoming any misgivings for the sake of improving my German.
So I was bit taken aback when she produced
the DVD for me to borrow. Eight shades of pink, fourteen little hearts, and two direct references to chocolate on the cover. Which glittered.
Whether there is more truth in the tagline (
'Men are the best medicine') or the title of the first episode (
'Men are pigs!') remains to be seen, but I expect that neither is true in any absolute sense.
That'll probably be the last major comedy DVD swap for a while.
