Just walloped a bottle of Rosé in the garden with Angelica - although I was eyeing the Pimms in the fridge. Happy day spent with good people!

Quote by winchwench
To all those with parents :lol2:
They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.
Philip Larkin

Quote by winchwench
I wasn't allowed out.
Literally. There was a "plot" of land two doors away that all the kids would play on. I wasn't allowed.
My mum was 41 when she had me- and I was clearly an insurance policy to be kept indoors under lock & key to look after my parents in their old age. She hated me going to school. At primary, she'd walk the 20 mins to the school, drop me off, go home, walk back at lunchtime, take me home for 20 mins, then walk me back. She'd then go home again & return at
Friends were hugely discouraged. I didn't go to a single party/friends house til I was 15- nor they mine. To this day, I've never had a birthday party.
As a baby, my mother took me to the chemist's to be weighed- she wouldn't allow the midwives/health visitors near me. I spent four days with a broken arm before my mother would take me to A&E- near the "interfering" health workers.
There's other stuff I won't go into, but my mother tried to control me- but would also attempt to buy my favour with presents.
I eventually rebelled. I was good at rebelling.
At 15, a guy down the road wanted me to go out with him. I was terrified of her response. I told him not to call for me, under any circumstances. He did. I locked myself in the downstairs loo for 2 hours, while she explained to him that I wasn't allowed a boyfriend til I was 18. As my 16th birthday neared, she changed her mind to 21.
After proposing to me, he turned out to be gay
I'm rambling, and you don't wanna hear all this shit
But, in short, yes. My parents (well, mother) tried to stop me having one thing.
A life.

Quote by kentswingers777
It may not be right 777.. but you have to remember that the commissar gives them voting rights once they've put their mark on a scrappy piece of paper at the Town Hall giving them "citizenship". They can then stick two fingers up to everyone else and the commissar knows that he has another 15 votes in the postbag come the next election (I bet they are told to vote Labour at the next election too - they probably think their stay here is a contract with that as a condition).
As for the 5 European countries they pass through to get here, there must be a huge sigh of relief as they are waved out the departure gate of each successive one!

ever known a Sun reporter tell the truth?

Quote by flower411
I`ve been sorting out a load of family stuff lately and have just found a whole bunch of photos from the forties and fifties of my dad and his mates.
I have seen them before, but that was years ago !!
The story goes, that he had to decide between my mum and a new bike....she wasn`t prepared to ride pillion so it was bigger bike or sidecar !! :shock:
He plumped for sidecar !! .. Now, ain`t that sweet !!
Anyway, to the point
I think that there was something romantic about a motorcycle back then ....a great throbbing machine that was tempremental and dripped oil all over the place.
I honestly think it`s missing from todays shiny plastic buzzy things !!
Anyway ... I could start rambling if I`m not careful so I`ll just leave this with you and see if there are any comments ..
OH yeah ....and this :lol:

Yep, found it after a wee bit of googling.
Also found a veritable wealth of cover versions of this song.
All good, but none so good as Bob Dylan, with Adele a worthy second best.

Lovely sentiments.
This vid, I think, is home made but very evocative.
When I first heard the song, I thought it sounded like a cover version. I'm on a mission now to hear the original.
Well....that didn't take long....a worthy version, but originals always win out.

Quote by TanKinky

I say NO benefits to any immigrant that has NOT contributed to this country for at least 6 months. Why do these people travel through 5 or 6 countries to get here? For the benefits we give them....free.

Quote by Steve
So you all have these hoops you have to jump through in order to get your entitlement...
How come others can walk into the country,not having paid a penny,and get everything they need
Just doesnt seem right......Not to me anyway....
