Not what it seems, or is it ?

Biff, yes, seems we'll take action for a dog, but maybe assume nobody would leave a child for more than seconds in this heat

Not what it seems, or is it ?

So using the logic you see sooften on the net these days, both the guy in the article & me are coffee drinkers, therefore memory loss must be down to coffee but never mind I'll have forgotten that by tomorrow

Not what it seems, or is it ?

Talking of not being fit to drive, I got so engrossed in blog comments forgot I put the kettle on

RE: Your Opinion

Shame TR didn't have it the other day, we could have tuned in to his reaction when he broke the toilet bet that turned the curtains blue

Not what it seems, or is it ?

Dani, if his memory is that bad how would he have remembered where he left the car, so yes shouldn't be driving.

Not what it seems, or is it ?

Wen, yes I'm struggling to see any way he can justify what he did, this memory thing sounds like an excuse for his action of leaving her there in the first place, the sad thing is had it been a dog people would have broken into the car to get it out, but you don't expect a baby to be left alone.

Not what it seems, or is it ?

Luke, sorry not like, this keyboard is like Russian roulette, the letters have worn off so sometimes I hit the right ones but sometimes a bit out

Not what it seems, or is it ?

Like, details seem a bit sketchy, the article says granddad, but later someone refers to him as being the uncle, but the question I just posted above, is a dodgy memory any excuse for leaving her there, is he claiming he forgot she was there at all or just couldn't be bothered to take her with him.

Not what it seems, or is it ?

Memory is funny thing, I like to think I remember in detail things that happened even 60 years ago, but do I I've just had to fill in a form asking questions going right back to my teens years, easy I thought, but turned out not quite as easy as I thought, dates, places, details all merged together making being precise tricky.
A classic example, my mother died in 1965, it was a traumatic day & I remember it well, or so thought till my father died about 13 years ago & I had to return to the same crematorium, it was on the other side of London to where I lived, I couldn't even find it, when I did there I looked at it & I'd have sworn I'd never been there before, ok it may have changed a bit over the years but not that much, it's a grave yard & highly unlikely they dug up graves to alter it, my memory of that day was complete fabrication.
But is failing memory any excuse for what this man did

RE: Theory: Women should be clear, men should not

You could always ask to borrow the chainsaw to cut more wood for the fire, that would work on several levels, not least the thought of someone else using ones chainsaw

RE: Got my dozen

Hmmmm yes Zulu would have been a great help here

RE: World Predictions Until 2050 by Remote Viewer E.M Nicolay

Molly's sending thoughts to Map..........that explains the coming in Lidl

RE: World Predictions Until 2050 by Remote Viewer E.M Nicolay

Map, a second coming, in Lidl bet that surprised the checkout lady

RE: World Predictions Until 2050 by Remote Viewer E.M Nicolay

Molly, that'll largely depend on what Pres. Trump, by then in his 4th term, decides is his policy for that day

RE: World Predictions Until 2050 by Remote Viewer E.M Nicolay

Hmmmm ok, but some things will remain the same in 2030 String will still be posting Youtube vids , all be it straight into our thoughts

RE: USDA...

Chat, I think what Molly's referring to is your chicken being chlorinated, seems most in Europe reckon that's unsafe, even though it's the same process there tap water goes through

RE: Former CIA Officer: Clinton "Involved In Biggest Treason In History"

RE: Former CIA Officer: Clinton "Involved In Biggest Treason In History"

LJ, now you're not going to try & convince me that any news is news are you as far as this bit of news goes, seeing as all the major outlets appear to be steering clear I'd take that as a sign

RE: Former CIA Officer: Clinton "Involved In Biggest Treason In History"

I'm confused now, I thought you were American an air force vet bit odd to be supplying news from a Bulgarian web site, but then I suppose they have inside info straight from the Kremlin so a real scoop for you

RE: Champions

I'm devastated you knocked out Spain mind, like you the devastation can only go so far as I only found out Spain has a team 2 minutes ago looking up who you're playing against

RE: Bermuda Triangle: Scientists think they've figured it out...

I first heard about this must 45 years ago, when the book on it was first published, a friend said read this, it was quite convincing, but then some years after that a TV documentary took it pieces chapter by chapter digging out the real facts rather than the best seller version, for example the squadron you mention, was a training flight as I recall, in bad weather, & they basically flew in the wrong direction, a tragic accident but no mystery whatsoever, basically the fake news of it's day, now around every 10 years it resurfaces to a new audience, these days no doubt accompanied by many youtube vids

RE: "FOREVER"

Nam, that reminds me of the days here before I got a fast net connection, try a speed test. Haven't noticed any drop in speed of the site.

RE: Unprecedented Hate For President Trump

It does seem most odd that so many have taken to such a vocal dislike of someone they've never met one wonders why they aren't up in arms against other presidents responsible for mass murder of political opponents & there own people, as far as I know Trump never personally killed anyone, whereas you don't have to look very far to find those that did, but they seem to rate only the odd mention here & there

RE: Austria closes 7 mosques and expels 60 Imams

hunei, I suspect it will have to be the same in the UK, government agencies can be too slow reacting to situations that need immediate response.

RE: Austria closes 7 mosques and expels 60 Imams

Rachie, as far as the law is concerned it's the total solution, but like all things legal it'll never work that way. if a Muslim wife is living with a wife beater or in a family where only Sharia law is recognised just getting to court is going to be an issue, they will need places of safety to live both before & after the divorce, I can see it being similar to witness protection with a complete new life in a different area.

RE: Austria closes 7 mosques and expels 60 Imams

LJ, I'm not sure you see the relevance of the case Rachie mentioned, Sharia law doesn't exist in the UK, it's Sharia courts, the law was not until today recognised under UK law, but the ruling mentioned now means Muslim women can go to a UK court and get a just settlement for divorce under UK law, bet they didn't see that one coming by recognising the Muslim (non legal marriage under UK law) marriage as a form marriage like any other the UK courts can now deal with it in the normal way.

I found an old article showing what a Sharia court looks like & does, I only got part way into it as it as the first few paragraphs were enough to show me something needs to be done & now it has been, some good news for a change

RE: Another penny in the jar (a research question)

Where I come from it's 50p's in the jar, a penny sounds a bit cheapskate

Do your readers really want to read about boring old real life I expect the books I read to be more than that

You wouldn't do it to a dog!

As a follow on from this blog topic, I'm forever reading articles in the papers about scientists trying to reverse the aging process, now whilst it would be great to be 20 again this can only go one of two ways, millions of 20 year old (looking) people dying of old age, or people living longer/forever, can anyone imagine a world with the population doubling every generation green would disappear from the planet, the whole lot concreted over for housing, food shortages etc, it would be a living nightmare, then someone will be blogging about the system they use to decide who has to die today

You wouldn't do it to a dog!

Virgo, I can see exactly where you're coming from & seen similar situations, personally I'd like to be able to choose whether to have that type of surgery, and I suppose to a point you can if you're well enough to insist, however for those beyond arguing with doctor/family it's then the difficult choice of pressing on with medical treatment or losing them immediately, maybe medical science is in limbo between having gone so far but then not far enough to make a real difference in some cases

You wouldn't do it to a dog!

M4, I think that may be the crux of the problem, seems we've all got into the mindset of keeping a body alive because we can, maybe the answer is to let those with no hope go naturally without medical intervention, hard as it is for love ones who naturally want to keep them as long as possible, but all that's for them & nothing to do with patient welfare
