Ok Wordie we only eat the Green ones and pink ones. Never eat the white ones and only eat the black ones when no one is looking. Leave the little ones, why ruin a good meal.
I know Serene. Thats why i mentioned the Dog choking on its lead. Although that bit wasn't against the law it reflected poorly on the person as a dog owner. Imagine if thats how they walked their kid. More people would be up in arms. The dog has rights. And there are expectations in society on how a dog is suppose to behave and be walked.
But thats just it, Its only someone else's expectation.
And as for OSH getting involved in things. If OSH got involved in Stupid ways to get an injury from walking a dog. Then there would be a law against it.
Last night coming home I pass a cyclist taking their dog for a run. Note: We are well within the official hours of Darkness when all vehicle lights must be on.
Things that were wrong.
No cycle helmet. No Bike Lights. No reflector. Dog Choking itself on the lead as it strains to run faster than owner.
So I was wondering how do you stop and ask this young person if they realise what they are doing is wrong and against the law. That if the law came along they would be heavily fined?. Is walking the dog this way worth that fine?.
Without being told to take my sticky beak and place it elsewhere. (Note how very politely I phrased this last sentence. )
I mean if they weren't aware they were doing wrong, then they deserve to be advised before being copped by a copper. Surely.
I suppose I should add it was a very low income neighbourhood i was passing through. That generally can't really afford fines.
Smile. It really works. Not just with your mouth. Put your whole face into it. Its very hard to return to woe is me when you have forced yourself to do a couple of these and held them for a few seconds. (Actually told to me by Hello you. I've heard it before but this time I decided to practise it)
Arguments. When faced with an argument you can't physically avoid. Respond back with something that has absolutely zip to do with what they are having a go at you over. You'll throw them completely off kilter and confuse them. They will walk away
(OK probably only 50% successful and won't work on Partner / Flatmate but on outsiders who only fleetingly impose themselves on your universe its quite good)
As you browse the people who rated you. If you see a female who rated you a ten (Or just favourably). And she grabs your attention also. Then reach out and say hi.
In this circumstance: She could be old fashioned, and just giving you the subtle hint that she like you; and for you to reach out and contact her.
You know if you don't like your current rating you can play with it and get it reset. I think all you have to do is deactivate rating then reactivate again.
As others said. We are assumeing your talking photo voting.
Look at it this way. People who vote poorly for you are jealous. They are trying to bring your rating down to make them look better. But anybody who chooses dates by photo rating is a very dubious date, don't you think.
Mines enabled but i don't give a flying fig about it thats why i haven't even bothered to turn it off. But it sure would be an ego boost if i looked and found it above 8.
Also though, like Celibate said. Its a time waster. Just something to do whilst your awaiting a response or surfing with no actual goal in mind.
RE: Awesome's best jokes ever thread.
Why did Piglet bury Pooh.Cause he was out in the woods and its just unhealthy and poor etiquette to leave that sort thing laying around for someone else to step in.
