just having a fun trip out for the day
Really?
:eek2:
( oh I did edit post^ Its been a year I need to begin to get over my shoes being destrotyed by that mess I think. )
nah, but for the ne'erdowells that caused the problem they probably though it was - just a change from smashing up glasgow - they were playing russians btw not english
It was the rubbish I had a problem with,more thatn the samshing, I got maky cichken bone in my foot, because it was hot and I was wearing sandles and I landed on one when I arrived in the station next morning.
Ther was a brilliant picture though, not sure if it was the Rangers, mihght have been someone else. all these fans back lit by a bonfire, It was reminicent of a painting of ancient warriors, what with all the face paints and the gleams in their eyes and all.
I should have kept it...*sigh*
why do you feel the need to be so impolite to me?Quote:

And to show the power of the internet; well, Google Adsense anyway, here we all are talking about kilts, so what does Google Adsense display for us?
Ads for kilts, of course!

You're wrong actually Brian. English and Scottish league teams do meet in European club competitions. Manchester United and Celtic played each other home and away in the Champions League quite recently.Quote:

I am surprised that the administrators of the site don't insist on the information being a requirement if only out of courtesy.Quote:

Hello, Scheherazade here. I am female and I am hailing from the UK.Quote:

In everyone's profile there are fields regarding their location and also we have threads such as Where are you from?, Gender Poll and How old will you be? for those members who would like to share their personal information with others.
However, if they don't wish to do so, we cannot force them (and if we did, there would be riots in the streets of the Forum, calling us "Forum Police" and accusing us of "invasion of privacy" :rolleyes:)
Hi Scheherazade,Quote:

It is interesting to ponder the psychology behind a refusal to do so. I mean, I live in London and anybody who wants to can see my name; I don't see a problem with it. I don't go to bed each night thinking that creditors, MI5, the Mafia or aliens are trying to find out exactly where I live so they can come and get me. Obviously I don't know people's individual circumstances, and have no wish to, but an irrational fear seems to pervade internet forums which is one of their drawbacks.
Hey papayahed, are you one of those kids who keeps playing on my lawn?Quote:

That went down like the proverbial lead balloon.
While I always use this nom-de-plume, all of my relevant data and a link to even my family pages are contained in my profile. 3 or 4 people each month click through onto my personal pages, so some people do want to know.
The trouble is, some people are a bit paranoid, and if anonymity weren't guaranteed, they wouldn't post.
I thought you were one of those damn Canucks, too, eh?Quote:

I must say, it bothers me far less here than other forums. Probably because I make allowances for people who read books.
:D
I remember that day very clearly already thank you very much.Quote:

Funnily enough, Canadians and Kiwis have a strong bond - surprisingly, stronger than us and Australia. Maybe it's something to do with living next to a vastly more powerful neighbour? I've always bonded pretty well with Canadiennes in particular!Quote:

I never feel that I am being watched all the time and it doesn't bother me in the least. I have no intention of contravening any laws and never have done, so when I am outside of my home the authorities can watch me as much as they like. After all, the people who pass me in the street can see me too and the fact that they know they are being watched helps to deter criminals fom impinging on my liberty in a way that is far more intrusive than cameras. I suppose it helps to have worked in secure areas of government departments where security measures of one type or another were quite strict but, in my experience, CCTV hasn't come up as a topic of conversation very often which implies that there are others who aren't bothered about it either, even if there have been some observations by newspaper columnists and the like on the issue.Quote:

I've just asked Parker to bring out the Chateau Latour Pauillac 1994 to try. That usually brings them running.
And a Newkie. ;)
Athiest-
Were you the one who posted about the Newcastle beer ice cream?
Has anyone tried that? How is it? I'd like to try it out :D

I think the problem stems from a slight dispute concerning the respective skills of English and Scottish football players. This sent the inordinate number of females invading the thread running and their input diminished accordingly, a disappearence for which we must be truly grateful. However, although women have been surreptitiously trying to take over the thread, we must take into account that soccer is of no great importance to non-British members and, therefore, perhaps we would be best served in keeping our observations to the finer things in life: namely, matters related to sex and alchohol. As for the Ch.Latour Pauillac 1994, it is now retailing at £291.67 per bottle which is considerably more expensive than Newkie ( if you will forgive the vernacular) but I feel that the tone of the club would be irrevocably lowered if the Pauillac were to be served with pork scratchings.Quote:

But soccer (or as you call it, football) is by far my favorite sport. I played for years and will have my 5 month old daughter who is quite a kicker, play when she is old enough. Shame it's not more widely watched here.
You are right of course, I meant to say USA instead of non-British members even though I realise there is an on-going attempt to export football into the US. My reason for mentioning it had less to do with football, of which I know practically nothing, than an attempt to revive flagging interest in the thread itself. That being said, football, or any other sport, is a non starter in comparison to sex and booze.:DQuote:

Two pictures of underwear below, One from Anne Summers and one from Damart. One is considered sexy, the other frumpy. Whats the difference ?(apart from about 30 quid)

It's not so much the cost...more about availability!! ;)Quote:

You can probably get the second one on offer: Buy one, get the second one half price or even free... :p
But no such luck with the first one!
comfort!
if its not cutting into you and giving you scars, its frumpy :rolleyes:
Also the one is for titless wonders and the other is for 'real' women.
the first one is just for teasing, the second one is to give you a figure and hold in saggy bits so you look good in a nice dress. :D
Although I have never seen a woman wearing the second item (Thank Heavens) , neither have I seen one wearing the first ( Worse Luck ). At the risk of much ribald comment, where have I been going wrong?Quote:

Any normal unmarried guy gets to see quite a bit of lingerie in his time but why is it never so inspiring as that in the first picture? As you said, I'm still hoping. :DQuote:
