Hmm, I'm not so sure. Being in an argumentative mood tonight, I'd
like to humbly suggest that we reserve judgement on Hrut's, um, little
problem--at least until next weeks episode when Unn goes into a bit

the difficulty is, it's not *lack* of excitement... ;)

who is one Hel of a Woman perhaps Unn may be too status conscious, I
can liken this to a situation in modern life - a spoiled Daddy's Girl
unable to reconcile married life with what she wants - Status and
