Well I'm stumped. Come to think of it though, I had a pic of my neighbour's donkey on my profile for a while. But it wasn't the main picture! That reminds me. Must update my profile. Just can't decide whether to slash 90% of it. Trying to be funny doesn't seem to have struck too many chords. Well, not with anyone within say 500 or 800 km distance!
Great choice of pooch! I'm gonna get myself one soon. My brother-in-law in Scotland breeds dogs but alas another breed (racing greyhounds). He offered me a puppy once but I declined with thanks. They're too much work and they're trained to go after the electric hare but when out walkies they're not picky about what little furry creatures they go after. That's why they have to be muzzled all the time when not in the yard. À propos dogs: Check out my thread about dog pics!
The subject line says it really. Some women have a photo of their mutt as their main profile picture. What's that all about? Are we meant to read something deep into this? Help me out here peoples please.
Yeah the Olympics. Is it just me, but it all seems so far away and long ago now. I'm not an Olympics fan personally, quite the opposite in fact, and didn't watch more than about 15 minutes of the whole spettacolo. In fact, as I posted at the time, I was electrified to hear Scottish bagpipe music being played at the opening ceremony. Still can't get my head round that. Yeah and to get to my point, the polluting factories. I loved the joke on the Jay Leno show, where he quoted reports that the Chinese rulers had shut down all the polluting factories in Hebei province for the duration of the games. In other news, he said, WalMart have announced that they're out of everything!
I guess it's where you're currently at, is what I was thinking. (I've been away from B. Scotland for many moons, and I doubt I could ever live there again.) So, in my case not GB, but BG! Also it's all EU now, you know.
That's why I'm posting this (link to a) pic here.
I went out this morning to a bigger village, which has a cash machine aka atm, and following that, came across this dude and donkey, walking along the road. This is the main road and it's right alongside the River Danube. Romania is on the other bank.
Where are you going, I asked him? Istanbul. Where have you come from? Belgium! At that he gave me a friendly wave, and I fancy the donkey smiled too, and they were on their way.
Wow I'm in luck - noticed some scent in my toilet kit recently when I checked the contents prior to my (ill-fated, due to dodgy gearbox) trip round E. Europe. I'm sure it said Dior or some other name on one of the little vials. They're free samples that they give you when you buy perfume (in my case I would be buying a prezzie for someone). The assumption being that the guy will like the "manly" scent, or maybe notice an improvement in his scoring chances, and come back for the non-free bottle. Sadly they were outta luck in my case.
Is there a recession/depression I don't know about? My loaf of bread went down in price to under 30 €cents and a litre of LPG is about 40€cents, down about 20% from last year. Seriously , I think the thing is bottoming out. At least the part of it that they talked themselves into is showing some signs of having run its course.

Main profile pic - dog pic. Wtf?
Don't get it. Sorry.
One thing I will say about donkeys, though, they're low-maintenance.
This is about my favourite adjectival phrase period.
