Well I had this huge pile of miles - sorry, idiot points - which I had never touched. They were almost virginal in their innocence. And I was going to save them up for something really nice and equally virginal (like 2 Virgin Upper Class returns to St Lucia or something). And then they offered me those upgrades, like a friend's older brother offering me a grope behind the bike sheds. And I was tempted. And now I'm sullied. My point mountain has been depleted. And it's not growing as fast as before since I was seduced by United. And I know it's only a matter of time before they tempt me with something else. *sigh*
