Maybe I missed it... what is the second catch?

No technology (ie. text, email, etc..) meaning they aren't allowed to do work, and they MUST go on a vacation.

That was the first catch... not the second...

The article says First and then Third, they skip second... unless do work was the second. Although I don't know how you do work if you are off the techgrid to begin with... most of these are office workers (I am assuming) that need to log in to do work to begin with...

Ive noticed that... to me Wiggins doesn't seem like an aggressive rider at all...

He hasn't been pressured by anyone yet.

I am sure Wiggins if needed to, could put Froome firmly in his place - but hasn't needed to. Afterall this guy has won a bloody ton of competitions and medals. That and they are both pacing nicely to save legs for the Olympics - as are their competition too.

Yeah i am going with an aquamarine gem as the main piece surrounded with about 1-2 TCW on a white gold setting. The gem is very specific as she loves the ocean and sea life. Me being an Aquarius also plays in nicely with the concept of it all. I have the design drawn out just need to get it made.

Nice so have you been planning on how your going to POP the question?

1. I am honestly a bit shocked a journalist wrote that, such bad continuity, I guess you high school kids wouldn't appreciate good writing since you guys write like that :p

2. Again, If the "1st" was off the tech grid and the "2nd" was to not do work, the "1st" and "2nd" are redundant. You can only carry so much physical papers, flights only allow so much luggage :p Most work is done on computers, especially office work.

dude, I was taught grammar in 1st grade. Last thing I remember are verbs, adjectives, and pronouns. It's pathetic the way that English is taught my grammar is horrid especially since it isn't taught and they expect us to write well? WTF is the board of education thinking?

Lol, it is not a matter of grammar.

If you start by saying you are gonna list things, don't do it like the article.

Article:

First, blah blah blah, and by the way, second.

Third, blah blah blah.

Instead, do it in a more structured fashion:

First, blah blah blah.

Second, blah blah blah.

Third, blah blah blah.

Yup i am almost at the 6K mark. I figured i can get the ring plus our bands with that sum. I am having it all custom made so we shall see how it all goes.

Very nice. I think I spent 4k on the engagement ring, then she went off and bought wedding bands when she was in Guam for about 10k on top.

we don't wear any rings at all now... I don't think we know where they all are either!

Ohhh, ok, I get what you're saying. I was confused at first so I just said why I suck at grammar :p

But yeah, it would make sense if he could have thrown in a secondly, blah blah blah, otherwise you gotta assume :roll: bad writing on his part :lol:

That is what happens when you don't wear them all the time. I think the last time we did was 1-2 years ago for a wedding.
