The person who abused my stepdaughter.

Yes

Technology that does what you actually want it to do – rather than doing what you’ve inadvertently told it to do….

This is one of those times when you wish that you could send a hug to somebody in the post.

Lewis, strength and courage come in many different forms, and you have shown such an incredible amount of both that I am truly humbled.

As well as my deepest sympathy, you also have my deepest admiration.

Still thinking of you.

I once told somebody on an internet forum that they were wrong.

I was unexpectedly dentisted this morning. :(

(To be fair, I was expecting the dentist – just not the x-rays, injections and fillings!)

Well I’m currently reading “1000 years of Annoying the French”, and it’s highly amusing. Although possibly not really the thing for an 18 year old – unless you want to teach her xenophobia :D

Some folks seem awfully worried about eating animals bred for food when I think the real issue is about animal welfare and humane slaughter.

Does she like natural history? If so, pretty much anything by David Attenborough, or “Last Chance to See” – either version, but Douglas Adams’ one is the best.

How about circumcision?
Happy with that?

Difficult to say without investigating said child rather more thoroughly than the parents would be entirely happy about…..

Bah. Just ironed my work trousers – which now have about eight pleats down the front :evil:

Sky + set for the night :D

Chilli con carne made with scotch bonnet chillis, with home made potato wedges, liberally covered with grated mature cheddar.

No, but the mother is a bit of a chav. Sorry, I KNOW that’s very judgemental, but it’s true!

Took me about 24 hours to recover from a general when I had my wisdom teeth out – and I was only under for about 20 minutes.

I am so sorry.

I will be thinking of you and your family x

Depends how much you dilute it!

+1 for less chewy bits – and they were the best part :(

*holds out pint glass*

Hang on…. isn’t than my line? :twisted:

Oooh that’s just reminded me I have some truffles downstairs :D

*holds out glass*

The way of the mule is a tough and complex one, young Padowan. Prepare yourself well before you venture along it…..

What they said.

“You can have that bottle of Talisker if you want love”

Well dear, I suppose if you are going to insist, then it would be dreadfully rude not to….. :-)

Cute! :D

Unfortunately, my two favourite hobbies both passed away last summer.

Which really sucks.

Fantastic :mrgreen:

mightymule, just chuck em outside. That’ll learn them

I can assure you, they have been forcibly ejected from the house on several occasions today.

They both looked rather affronted at being unceremoniously stuffed through the cat flap with some force.

If Evil Black Cat Mk I and Stupid Black Cat Mk II don’t stop having a scrap every 10 minutes because they’ve got cabin fever due to the snow, there may well be another 2 up for re-homing very soon…. :evil:

At the point where you need to go to the loo every half hour, and wee out about a pint each time – that’s when you’ve had too much tea.

Failed to be clever enough to be a vet.

Failed A levels due to serious illness.

Did some more A-levels.

Studied Environmental Chemistry at uni, which failed to get me any decent employment.

Started doing clerical work for a college as a temp.

Now senior administrator at same college.

Anybody got a hangover?

*plays cymbals*

Re Head Gasket – find out if it has had a new one fitted, and if so, whether it is the modified gasket. If it is the modified one, then it shouldn’t blow again.

*writes to council complaining about inconsiderate children making noise while sledging in the park next to my house….*

Tossing it off on the internet

We live in a small end terrace.

We have a full drum kit, two guitars, a bass, three keyboards, a violin and – of course – a significant number of amps / stage monitors.

We can never ever complain about our neighbours being noisy!

Get into bed at about 8pm.

With book, bottle(s) of wine, and laptop :D
