My other other wants to be cast adrift at sea on a floating pyre, and have it ignited by fiery arrows shot from weapons wielded by his friends. I do not want the job of trying to organise that gig- sounds like a red tape nightmare. I do get to fire the first arrow though...although I expect it's only because he knows I'll end up burning my foot.

Am I alone in failing to make the connection between drink and hooliganism ??
I have been drinking regularly and on many occasions heavily for 30 years and never caused or been involved in any trouble.
I have been outrageously drunk on many occasions and never caused or been involved in any trouble.
I am far from unique...many people drink regularly and on occasion heavily and never cause or get involved in any trouble.
The problem (if there is one)is a social one, and only related to drink in that it is when we go out there are large enough numbers for those few hooligans to meet each other.
Alcohol is a red herring conveniently masking the true problem.

I know what you mean Witchy. I changed alcohol type in the past to avoid coca cola and haven't eaten 'Nestle' products for years. I went on a campaign back in the day about what they were up to and now it has to be Green & Blacks chocolate, ethically and for taste. I really like the heavy taste of 34% cocoa, it is divine! Although, if it's not on offer, I will chop and change between a handful of the fair trade chocolates.
The other things I will NOT under any circumstances buy, is Danish bacon, even when it's on offer. Their living conditions as pigs are disgusting compared with free range English bacon who have lovely outdoor ranges and huts to live in with their tasty little piglets. I will also not compromise on dry cured bacon either or meat with added water. If the animal has had to die, at least make it taste as good as it damn well can rather than adding stuff to make it shrink when it cooks. What a waste.
I do tend to go to the local butcher and grocer when I can, due to work commitments, which is the only downside. We rather like the farm shop not very far away from us too, a luxury where you can visit your food before it gets to your plate. Lovely. Genuinely a joy!
I'm aiming to cut our vegetable purchasing by 25% this summer by setting up our veggie patch in our garden, now we have one and learning to pickle & preserve. I'm really quite excited and will be starting to propagate my seeds soon. Shhhh, don't tell Neil though, cos it's likely to take up some of his kitchen space! :lol:

A five O'Clock finish for once, and the knowledge that I had prepared my tea the night before.

Its over.... the funeral was today and it was beautiful yet heartbreaking. Went exactly as i wanted it to and i stood up and paid a personal tribute to my man. I think he would have been both touched and proud. Its been a long day, and a long 19 days since he left and im very glad its over.
Going to pick up his ashes in a day or two and then to decide what to do with them.. it can wait a bit think...
Rest In Peace Darling....

Use of capitals in normal text is for EMPHASIS - there, didn't you feel that I was shouting that bit?

My son. I love him so much and am so very proud of him.
I know he won't probably read this but I can't contain my joy at his achievements.

What a fabulous thread Mr BIoke!
Like Nola I'm quite nostalgic about SATC (the series)as it reminds me of times with good friend watching then discussing after a few glasses of vino and also my time as a single gal when it helped me through many a dating dilemma. Witchy might think it's just a chick flick but it's not, it's therapy mixed in with the most fabulous fashion/shoe porn, and a must watch for all ladies over the age of 15!
I can't decide on my favourite scenes right now......too many to decide between, but I'll have a think and come back!
One thing I will say is I'm not a fan of the film......I loved the series and can watch it over and over again. I refused to watch the film when it came out but eventually watched it once and don't think I'll watch the next one.

Steve Martin.....was he ever funny?

Quote by Cubes
Judging by the responses so far I'm guessing SATC was a girly thing? I didn't watch it, but did any other blokes (apart from BIoke ;-) )?

Quote by Firelizard
Haiti & the fact that I can't trust anything anyone says to me anymore. What happened to good old fashioned truth?
The old naive Fire has gone and left this cynical old git in her place :sad:

Quote by brucie
i was standing outside bar italia at 3am one night about 5-6 years ago (i think just after england won the rugby world cup) and was eyeing up a very pretty lady. brian moore walks up to me, looking me straight in the chest, and very aggresively asks me if im looking at his bird. i recognised him, thought to myself what a cock he is, realised hes hard as nails, turned around and walked away without saying anything.
now tell me he doesnt have "issues"...

Quote by foxylady2209
I thought just occured to me. Must have been wind, but I'll post it anyway.
A person has every right to choose to send me a mail.
But surely I have a right to choose too?
When I get home I find a handful of envelopes on the mat. I look at them and I make a decision - to respond or not. Them sending me the mail does not give them the right to force/expect me to reply.
Surely the same applies to unsoliciated mail on here. OK, replying would be 'polite'. But if I don't want to I don't have to. I certainly haven't told the sender that I will so I'm not breaking any agreement. What perhaps would be polite is making contact in chat or on the forum before sending me mails.
Summary:
So if I HAVE to reply, then a random person CHOOSING to send me a random mail takes away my right to choose. That isn't acceptable is it? One of the main themes of swinging is making concious choices, not being blindly led by social opinions, and not being foced to act against our wishes just cos of someone else's expectations.

Told you - must have been wind.

Quote by Kaznkev
Am I the only one who really doesn't care what brand it is as long as it doesn't have a long list of additives, colours and artificial whatnots included?!
I use which ever is the best quality for the money I'm paying. I've no brand loyalty really and would try any type of anything once, twice if I liked it and the price was right! ;)
Come on down, the price is right! Oh how I miss proper trash winner takes all type TV.

The OPs have been on this site for more than 2 years. This subject has come up many times in that period. So, this isn't really a request for information - it's a rant. Fair enough - I like a good rant myself. But the question has been answered, hundreds of times and dozens of ways.
