RE: Why the Pope does not marry?

Because she would definitely have to be the one wearing the trousers.... you can't have them both wearing a dress now, can you?!!


Mind you, at least he would have a hat for the wedding, eh?

RE: Random acts of Christmas

You don't have to have somewhere local or give your time in order to help. You could pick one/few and donate to them or "adopt" an animal. Every little bit helps for these needy creatures.

There is also a website called "Good Gift" (I think?) which is great for presents for loved ones. You can give a gift to someone to opt for which gift they choose which could be supplying a goat to a needy family in the third world, for example. Or helping to fund a water supply, planting sustainable forestry, etc... the choice would be theirs. Many are not very expensive and much better than a commercial gift perhaps? I am going to do that next year.

RE: The Most Beautiful Woman?

In RL it has to be either Audrey Hepburn or Claudia Cardinale.

On CS.... I wouldn't dream of embarrasing her!!

In NGW, of course....

RE: HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHARON!!!!!!

Ahhhh, thank you Cristina.... thank you all!!

RE: what type of person are you?

RE: what type of person are you?

Okie dokie, Chuckie-Egg!!

RE: what type of person are you?

What the...?!! I don't particularly believe in a "heaven" but how does that equate to the behaviour you describe?!!


And, no... its up to all of US to make sure this world is a better place for future generations...

OR...?? Why is it a case of being one or the other?!

Where is all this stuff coming from?!!

RE: what is the worst/most disgusting animal that you know, is eaten by human?

Seafood?!!

An ortolan is a small bird. It is "secretly" served in very few restaurants but as its illegal to do so, therefore the meal is free and more is charged for the wine....

Usually marinaded in almanac....

RE: what is the worst/most disgusting animal that you know, is eaten by human?

You forgot ortolan, surely?!

RE: Save the mother Earth

Interesting idea. But surely to be fair and impartial that should apply to ALL books?

Perhaps that will eventually be the way of the future? After all, education and knowledge empower people. Knowledge is dangerous to some. The powers that be don't want the common man empowered, do they?

Have you seen "Fahrenheit 451"?? Interesting film....

RE: what is the worst/most disgusting animal that you know, is eaten by human?

Not an animal, but a foodstuff, yes..... fois gras!!

Disgusting in how it is made, I don't agree with it, have NEVER eaten it and NEVER will!!

RE: Save the mother Earth

Indeed!!

RE: Politically correctness for the holidays

Yes, we are being encouraged to say "Happy Holidays" instead.... lest we offend?!

I am not particularly religious but perhaps a wee bit old-fashioned. I am sick of seeing our heritage, traditions and culture being eroded bit by bit.....

Just as with it now being an offense to not tolerate, to challenge, to question or to criticise, it will no doubt become illegal I shouldn't wonder. And we are expected to simply be compliant....

Well, they can bang me up then but MERRY CHRISTMAS it is!!!

RE: Scars...

AND, I suspect, Paws..... the only one who thinks its applicable?!

Ahh Nostalgia.... Not What It Used To Be, Eh?!

Not long til this year ends and a new one begins....

Some of the things I enjoyed from way back when. There should be something for everyone, though I have no doubt I will have missed a few?

Anyway.... ENJOY!!

RE: HOW MUCH IS IMPORTANT OPINION OF YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT YOUR PARTNER?

I may take their viewpoints on board but the ultimate decision lies with me, doesn't it?!

RE: How old are you?

Blimey, a case of too many men and not enough time then, sweetie?!
Jealous ----->

No, seriously, I am thrilled for you....

Yes, I too have found someone at long last.... strange man?!

RE: How old are you?

Just a baby!! Hi Dan...

Muuaahhh...!!

RE: British versus American English.

You are quite right, Robert. The English language does seem to have many complexities....

Buoy, boy
Seize, sees, seas
A Row, to row
Tear, tier
A Wind, to wind
A box, to box
To camp, be camp
Pansy (flower), pansy (??)
A stair, to stare
A wind, to wind
etc etc etc

If it weren't for CONTEXT, I don't know how we'd manage?!

RE: Girls: am i a good lookin guy?

Actually, from your pic, I doubt that very much!

I think you jest....?

RE: Girls: am i a good lookin guy?

Robert, I think the young man wanted, and probably appreciates, honest responses? I'm sure he's delightful but just not for me.

I have no problem with old farts at all, only those who actually DO fart.... euuuwww!!!

Any other questions, love?

RE: Girls: am i a good lookin guy?

Well, you don't spin MY wheels, no.... sorry. You're probably too young anyways but I have no doubt you will find a lovely young lady here, my friend!!

Good luck to you.

RE: money crisis

No, I've become very good at being thrifty anyways.....

The original Bag Lady here!!

RE: Heisman Trophy? Who Should Receive It?

Thank you, kind man!!

I don't think I will be able to contribute much here then....


Thanks again.

RE: amanda knox verdict

That in itself is not enough to go on. It was an ordinary kitchen knife from the apartment they all shared, by all accounts. Of course her DNA would be on it, she may have used it to chop onions.....


Personally, I don't know enough about the specific details but I must confess from what I do know, it all seems a little strange. Her behaviour certainly seems somewhat bizarre....

I think she may have been led astray but probably, nonetheless, guilty?

RE: Heisman Trophy? Who Should Receive It?

No idea what the Heisman Trophy is or any of the names you mention. Care to elaborate please?

RE: Benidorm April 2010, anyone interested?

Nope, not for me, thanks! Hope you all have a fab time, though.

RE: Once a liar always a liar??

Yes, once a liar always a liar! Without doubt....

Someone once told me you know where you are with a gambler, with an adulterer, a thief, an alcoholic, etc etc but you will NEVER know where you are with a liar.....

Strangely enough, the person that told me that was my ex-mother-in-law. As much as she loved him, she knew her son was a chip-off-the-old-block. She was right!!

RE: How old are you?

Before Cowell? There couldn't possibly have been life before good ole Simon?!

RE: What Exotic Islands Chain would you like to Visit Most?

A smart move, you know my past ecapades in attempting to get wine up from the wine cellar quickly....

I got a Christmas card from A & E the other day....

BTW.... I did get a good price for the jet-pack on eBay!!
