RE: Tell a true story people wont believe(part2)

I had a drink with OJ Simpson and lived!!!

The most useless things.........

Whatever the reason, the first thing you ever do is take them off and throw them away. They serve no useful purpose.

I suspect that you are more likely to be injured after they have been thrown away and you put the plug into the socket......if the socket or wiring is faulty......??

Do you work for MK?

The most useless things.........

Whenever you buy any electrical device, it comes with a plug that has a plastic three pronged cover on the pins.

Bearing in mind that no one has been killed or seriously injured holding a naked plug, is this cover the most useless thing yet discovered?

Age does not weary them

Does it get more difficult to find the right partner as you get older?....and by old, I mean in years not mentally.

By the time you are, say, 60 or so, you have been there, done it, got the T shirt and maybe got so fed up of it that you wonder what it's all about! BUT.......as a man, I still have a heartbeat, and I still get warm in the spring!

However, meeting someone of a similar age can be a difficult experience...as they have been there etc etc etc. Each has developed their own idiosyncrasies, and likes/dislikes that evolved with younger partners, and there is so little time to integrate these into this (potential) new life/relationship

What do you think?

Ray

Mutually agreed domination

We were having a discussion on domination within relationships, and this question came up.

If you were going to dominate, by consent, a girlfriend or partner, what would be the perfect name for her at playtime? Don't forget that someone somewhere will be called that name within a different context....so be careful not to upset anyone.

How much baggage is too much?

Sorry Jan....why am I 'insensitive?'. Did you not read my comments above?

Past experiences are fine....yes we all have them! But I am not talking about the past as something that can be shared and understood...I am asking about the need to carry deep emotional and (possibly) psychological problems into a potential relationship.

I think I am offended that you think this is insensitive.

Thanks Bodeciea. There is wisdom in your words.

Ray

How much baggage is too much?

S4E....

Thank you. I have given this response a lot of thought.

I do not want someone who would not discuss their past...I do want to share. I just can no longer cope with the deep mental anguish that some women carry around with them.....And yes! I know that their experiences are sad or horrible or hurtful, but I don't want to get involved if it deflects from the process of building a true relationship, or is a barrier to progress.....perhaps some of my other responses above might shed light on what I'm trying to say in this thread.

Solitaire

You are right.....I have baggage too. But it is not at the top of my agenda....inn fact....I deal with it myself.

And to all of you who immediately jump to the conclusion that I am insensitive, I spent 10 years with a woman who had such problems and there was hardly a day that went by in which I didn't try to love and support. I failed.........after that I felt that I did not want to go through the experience again....until I started dating again and experienced deja vu within about 10 minutes.

Not insensitive Solitaire....just not willing to do it all again.

How is it my problem? Why should you want to deflect someone else's responsibilities on me?

RE: WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST REGRET? SPILL PLEASE... :-)

Useless information Part 27........

Any Frank Zappa experts out there?

Sorry...I meant to add that it is Bodleing who found the footage.

Ray

Any Frank Zappa experts out there?

Brilliant...Smack on the nose first time....Thank you very much. I now need to try to find a recording of it somewhere.

Thanks again.

Ray

Any Frank Zappa experts out there?

OK...I'll have to find it then transfer it then uplaod it,,,but I'm not sure how. It's a VOB file and youtube is wma or DivX or something isn't it?

Any Frank Zappa experts out there?

I have an old recording which I got from a BBC transmission a long time ago. Frank Zappa is playing in a (BBC?) studio with his band of the time.....he is wearing brown shoes and yellow socks...the band has two drummers and a bloke with the biggest saxophone you have ever seen.

There is some fiddly intro stuff, during which FZ says that he knows the English like traditional jazz....they play some classical music in a jazz fashion.....

After that the band goes into a fantastic instrumental.....which features the bloke on the big sax. He sort of attacks it as opposed to playing it.

Anyway, I have loads of FZ stuff....but I can't find any reference to this one at all.....I can email an mp3 clip if anyone wants it...but does anyone recognise the music from my (poor) description??

Thanks in advance.....

RE: WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST REGRET? SPILL PLEASE... :-)

PS....I think Gilbert O'Sullivan's best song was 'We Will'...great lyrics..

RE: WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST REGRET? SPILL PLEASE... :-)

No one should ever have regrets about anything....no matter what happens.......decisions are made based on the information available at the time.....afterwards it is easy to wish you hadn't done something or said something. That's life...move on....life is what is about to happen...not what happened last year or whatever!

RE: Government should NOT be able to control the Value Of Money....

Money is worth nothing. It is merely a means to an end. In the good old days, you took your buffalo skins to the store and exchanged them for cigarettes or something.......now you take your skins.....exchange them for money....then take the money somewhere to buy what you want.

Money is underwrtten by gold which is held in reserve....the value of the gold should not be less than the amount of currency in circulation.....

International markets determine the value of gold.....not governments. They have to manage the financial status of their country...some do well....some do badly....but it is all cyclical!!

There is not much point in going on about how bad your government is.......vote them out...it won't change anything and if you decide to have a revolution, the first thing you will have to do is make sure all oyur new citizens are able to buy food etc........er that means having a money system.

RE: Your favourite things?

1. The London Telephone Directory
2. An advert for Holstein
3. How to jam a TV licence detector van
4. Butlins in the winter of 1958
5 I thought my wife had come back but then I found she hadn't!
6 MacDonald's in Havant
7 Ratners: because I once got a refund just before they all closed
8 Iceland home made
9 Women at Work....a big hit in Tehran
10 Cruel...the white went in off the black and I lost the frame.

Has anyone ever completed..............

The real thing is the cost. I think one of the latest objects is a Lancaster Bomber which comes home round about the £900 mark. A similar kit will build the Cutty Sark.....The original probably cost less to build!!

Has anyone ever completed..............

........one of those things you see advertised on TV. You buy Part 1 for 50 pence and then for £6.99 a time, you can collect the bits and pieces to build a scale model of your local post office. The total cost (if anyone ever does the sums) is in the region of many hundreds of pounds.

Do you know anyone who ever finished one....or collected all the parts of any of these series

Childhood Heroes

When I was very young, I was in awe of Bobby Charlton and for many years he was my hero.....then one wonderful day I met him. By now I was an adult. What should I say...'Oh Bobby I have always worshipped you' 'Bobby it's me at long last'....etc etc etc? In the end I just pushed a programme into his hand and asked him to sign it...He didn't even look at me and I realised that he couldn't give a toss about me despite my hero worship. I felt low for weeks afterwards.

Have you ever met a childhood hero and been disappointed?

Ray

RE: WHY IS IT WE GO TO DENTIST WITH TOOTACHE THEN ITS GONE!!

This is just not on. I have started a very dull and mind numbing interesting boring thread and you have blatantly pinched my idea. This is clearly a boring question and should be immediately transferred to my thread. (Should i put LOL or a laughing emoticon so that you don't think I am being serious??)

Are threads the copyright of the author....royalties etc??

(You seem as though you are doing as much real work as me today!!)

Well, I'm just a little bored. It's rainig here an dthe sun hasn't been out for almost a week....very rare.....


Loved the Petra answer........

RE: WHAT CELEB DID YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG????

I didn't read it as an 'error'....just amused that the typo conjured up a slightly different meaning (entendre??)....

Ray

RE: WHAT CELEB DID YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG????

Complain?? You want to try these shoes....£30 I paid for them and they leak even when it's not raining....I mean what happened to food Italian shoes...they only leaked in the rain!

Don't know what you mean about not missing a trick?

And....I saw Davy Jones in Iceland once (the supermarket). he didn't look like a pop star then....but he could have been miming!!

Ray

Very interesting boring subjects

What are the most interesting boring subjects on the planet and why?

The drying rates of concrete are pretty dull but vital so therefore are very interesting.

Another boring subject might be...What was Genghis Khan wearing on the day he won the Great Mongols Award in 1215? Who came second?

Why are there only 14 days in a fortnight?

Why isn't there just one word for '...three weeks ago last Saturday...?' (One for the Scrabble fans there!)

Why does Freetown charge for parking?

Which bit of Jordan is original?

A prize for anyone who can keep me awake!!
