I thought the conceit would be exposed by its own improbability.

He was, in effect, offering me two jobs on his new motoring programme. It was like being called Ronnie and invited to appear in The Two Ronnies but without another Ronnie.

  • First year: The best. Sweet, passionate baby-making love.
  • Second year: Things start to get a little rocky, but the love endures.
  • Third year: Some frustration. Take a break. Come back stronger and more in love than ever.
  • Fourth year: Spices things up a bit, but you wonder if theres a future.
  • Fifth year: Not sure whats happening anymore.
  • Sixth year: Everything falls apart.
