RE: WHERE IS THE LINE ? . . . .

Aah...the Irish. The most difficult people to lip read in the world. You all seem to only use one side of your mouths.

RE: I loved UK tv in the 70's

It was the prequel to 'Allo 'Allo, eh? (but better)

RE: I loved UK tv in the 70's

Golly, there's a blast from the past.

I come from a mixed background, so the humour resonated. I remember my mum being weak with laughter over Mind Your Language, in particular.

I also remember experiencing a lot of unpleasant prejudice in my childhood. I wonder how much those programmes contributed to humanising people from different cultures - I remember becoming very attached to the characters.

RE: cheers! prost! oktoberfest again

Amornthep, I'm sorry you had to experience those protests about using your mother tongue.

Whilst I appreciate this is an English language site, I think it's lovely when the occasional post is written in a different medium.

It's not like people are talking exclusively, given we can easily use an internet translation tool to join in and have some fun.

RE: cheers! prost! oktoberfest again

Zum Wohl!

RE: Easy fail-safe recipes

In response to YouMeUs's slow cooked bean recipe:

Eeek!



Just sayin'.

RE: Dont smoke in bed

RE: Help. Palm reading. I consider myself quite

In what way do you perceive me to be fired up?

And I'm not telling you if I've watched randi videoes, or if I haven't, you fresh wee thing, you.

RE: Help. Palm reading. I consider myself quite

Palm readers and their ilk are very clever and perceptive people.

She had you stitched up like a kipper, mate.

RE: ~~WANA SHARE SOME PERSONAL WITH C/S FRIENDS~~

Well done, old chap.

RE: Kick'em Jenny Alert Level Lowered to Yellow

I'm glad to here of the reduction in perceived risk and your anxiety.

RE: Fifty Shades of Grey...

I was never very musical, either.

But thanks.

RE: DILEMMA

Well, I didn't exactly need a magnifying glass, Ian.

RE: DILEMMA

Have you got a cute little dimple in each cheek, Ian?

Hang on, I know the answer to that already.

RE: Real Name

My name is Jac.

RE: Profiles

I was going to mail you to explain why you're not getting viewed before receiving mail, but I'm too old.

I do have a valid reason for not posting my reply on a public blog.

RE: beards approve or dis approve thats the question

I could while away a few hours running my fingers over stubble, or through a beard.

RE: Women and Wimps

Are these serious questions, or are you trolling for for fun?

RE: Happy Birthday LouLou

Penblwydd Hapus, LouLou.

RE: Some one on here asked me...

I tried to mail you once and was blocked from your area. Maybe Western women don't contact you because you're a numpty who's blocked the West.

RE: MAN 'OH' PAUSE....

Yeah, it could be luck.

Or maybe I'm doing something different. Diet, exercise, self- and environmental-awareness, stress, medication, contraceptive choice...all these things may effect the impact of hormonal changes.

RE: RELATIONSHIPS

You missed my point, Viv.

No one can make us feel good about ourselves, or bad about ourselves; No one can force us to feel good about ourselves, or bad about ourselves.

Feeling good about ourselves, or feeling bad about ourselves is a choice we make in our own minds.

We can choose to say, "I'm okay, you're okay."

Who we choose to spend time with is a different matter altogether. We tend to choose to spend time with people who reinforce our self-image, hence:



But...we can choose to change our self-image if we want and we can choose to spend time with different people if we want.

And we can see ourselves in who we choose to spend time with. An awareness of that can be informative and interesting.

Btw, I like interacting with you because I see you as being on a journey and that's a reflection of my own. You show things of yourself and that enables me to process, consolidate and show things of myself in response. It's all good.

I'm okay, you're okay.

RE: RELATIONSHIPS

Can anybody make you feel good about yourself.

Or is feeling good about yourself (or otherwise) a choice?

RE: BIRTHDAY WISHES to our dear friend

Penblwydd Hapus, Hans.

RE: How do we identify oursleves ?

I just googled and saw a picture of Rachel Doezal and I can't help thinking of the pencil test and the one drop rule.

It's interesting that imposing racial categorisation can create as much controversy and confusion as claiming it.

Personally, I like to think if anyone wants to send me back home, they'd have to wait until I'm dead and throw my ashes up into a hurricane.

RE: Hey!

Just watch out for the Cod fearing ones, Viv.

RE: Hey!

You're soooo ungrateful, Viv. This site is willing to sell it's sole to you and you're still complaining.

RE: Simple truths

I don't like to brag, or pull rank, or anything...but I'm an Empress.


PS. You wanna borrow one of my tiaras? I've got loads.




PPS. Are you new? Welcome to the blogs.

RE: Barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen.

Is it a choice?

RE: Aircraft. Help!

Well, I didn't do anything to contribute to it and I have no idea whether there was any campaign.

The airport near me is small and only one, or two planes went over my house per day.

I'm guessing there was a link between 7/7, Lockerbie and the re-routing, because the noise all stopped after 7/7. I guess there were few issues, given the alternative route via the coast.

I wonder if anyone would be open about future changes in your area, or whether there's a deal with the property developers to keep schtum until everything's sold.
