Years ago I had a bottle of beer from West Germany ( as it was then ). It was meant to be one of the strongest bottled beers in the world at 28% proof. I couldn't even get through a mouthful let alone a whole bottle of the stuff. It was foul. Strange really as I've had stronger beverages than that. Just didn't taste nice.
I think I know the side street that you speak of Kent. I'm astonished that the police herded everyone up there. It's a tiny narrow little street. That sounded like a disaster waiting to happen.
Couldn't agree more about the drunken behaviour. It wrecks it for everyone and can be so dangerous. One of the reasons I stay in on New Years eve. Sorry to hear you had a bad time of it after such good fire works. Hope the rest of the year is better for you.

Spent most of my childhood in the British Museum. Didn't live all that far from it. I was addicted to the place. One summer holiday I went every single day of the six weeks off school. Wanted to be a Classics master.
Music played a big part in my life from an early age. So I also wanted to be a concert pianist.
Ended up with a degree in Ancient History and teaching guitar for a living. A compromise of sorts!

The smell of seaweed always takes me back to childhood holidays on Winchelsea Beach. No matter which part of the coast I visit these days, as soon as I smell it I am reminded of that time.
Especially of an occasion when I slipped quietly out of the caravan while my mum and dad and sister where still asleep. It was about half five in the morning and I just sat alone on the beach clad only in shorts and a tee shirt. It was cold. I drew my knees up to my chest and just stared at the waves crashing onto the pebbles. It was the only sound I could hear. There wasn't anyone else around. It was one of those special moments that I'll never forget.

I wouldn't trust the post office with anything important. 40% of some promotional material I sent out once wasn't delivered.
I suppose if you're buying something over the net you don't have much say in how it's sent to you. Glad it's arrived for you .
My bad habit : 2nd hand books. I live too near Hay on Wye! Spend far too much time and money there.

On my Homepage where it says Set your mood, there is nothing to set. No little icons. Just a small twirling radar circle sort of thing.
On My Profile : Cant scroll through the text.
On View Profile : Profile text doesn't show up when I try to view it.
"What I'm looking for" is blank when I view it
My Photos : Cant access any of my photos. Again only a twirling radar circle thingy. Can upload a photo but can't submit it.
Anyone else had these funny little twirling circles? I use a Mac (OS X)

I'm still optimistic it'll happen in my lifetime!
For optimistic read "daft" for lifetime read "before the end of the world as we know it" :giggle:

Well they managed to beat them at the start of my lifetime and hopefully they'll have many more years yet to do it again.
But for now I'm going to pretend that today they beat them 250 - 0
It's good to lose a grip on reality once in a while. :silly:
My profile text has disappeared from the profile that members see although its in the Profile edit. Also who I'm looking for has disappeared from the Profile. Has that happened to anyone else? In the Profile edit, I can't see a list, eg Couple, Single Female, Gay male etc that we used to use to indicate what we were looking for.
When I try to access my Photos they don't appear although 2 are listed.
I've also got these funny twirling circle things spinning 'round like little radar screens on some pages. Anyone know what they are?

What is verification? I'm ignorant of it I'm afraid.
In this case it`s a system whereby anybody can post any sort of abuse on your profile and unless you sign in and see it and delete it, it will remain for all to see !!!
The worst of it is .....some people can`t even delete it when they want to because of a "glitch" apparently !!!
Cheers Flower :thumbup:
I met up with someone (not from here) and we had a friendly chat on the phone. We met up socially a few times first. On the first meet we found a secluded coffee place and had a quite frank but very friendly chat about likes, dislikes etc. We both knew that the bottom line of our meeting up was for sex so we dealt with "rules" thing straight away.
We both felt afterward that this had been the right approach as we put each other at ease very quickly. The subsequent socially meets gave us sometime to get to know each other a bit more. When we did have sex it was wonderfully relaxed and full of laughter and smiles.
Good luck with your meet Nola and I hope those horrid spots have gone.

I have a small car. I sometimes get tailgated. I never do more than 50mph, even on a motorway. I save a lot of fuel that way. If anyone comes up behind me they can wait. And if they persist in tailgating me then I slow down a bit and they wait even longer.
You have to be joking right?? you never do more than 50 on a motorway... I think you need some motorway lessons, it's more dangerous to yourself and others to do below 50
When I passed my test I was offered motorway lessons as my instructor said it's amazing how many people are very wary and scared of driving on motorways, but it was that hesitance that could cause serious accidents.
No I'm not joking. I don't need lessons in motorway driving. And I'm not a danger to myself or others. Be it on an A road or a Motorway. I am neither scared or wary on the motorway or hesitant. I think that increasingly, and sadly, people don't realise the danger of Speed. But as I said earlier, this thread was about tailgating.
Quote by kentswingers777
thats true but if you do not go over 50mph on a 60mph single carriageway, then sorry what do you expect? People will be pissed off and then take chances to get past you as quickly as they can. That is where tailgating happens when people usually are going too slow.
I cannot believe that you go 50mph on a motorway and then use an excuse as it saves fuel fgs. :shock:
Whilst excessive speed can kill and it does often, slow speed can also kill. I would be interested to know what the minimum speed limit is on a motorway too.
What do I expect? I expect the courtesy, consideration, and good road manners that increasingly seems to be disappearing from our roads.
Try going at 50mph on a motorway 'll be amazed at how much fuel you'll save. I can get from the Black Mountains in the Welsh Marches to Upminster in Essex and back on three quarters of a tank if I keep to 50mph. The minimum speed on a motorway as Peanut rightly said earlier is 30mph. I'm sure that higher speed kills more people on a motor way than slower speeds.
I don't consider 50 mph too slow on a 60mph speed limit road. And any tailgating at that speed displays stupidity on the part of the tailgater.
I think some people may have got the wrong idea about my slowing down. We are talking here about a couple of miles an hour over a mile or so. Not an immediate slamming on of brakes to a snails pace. That would be stupid, illegal and dangerous. As is deliberately preventing someone from overtaking.
But then this thread wasn't originally about overtaking it was about tailgating.
