Just out of curiousity (darn I'm well into stuff today!) JJF wot age bracket would you put urself in my dear? I only ask, now don't anyone go getting all humpfy about this, but I often find those of whom are in the "younger" groupings often don't tend to take these kind of things to heart whereas those maybe slightly older sometimes do. No no no no no I'm certainly not trying to make an issue out of this or over generalising in anyway (I hope) but IME I have found this to be so. AND no I'm not directing my observation at anyone in particular OR indeed see it as a general rule as I also know many others who wouldn't give a flying moustache either! :)

So sleeping in gardens/cold floors and the likes are a no no? *makes notes* :))

Shame on you all! :p >:D< hehe

It's only NOT fine if you have issues about such things Annaj ;-)

Any sensible woman wouldn't even bother going to a ATM for the purpose of withdrawing cash... Thats wot credit/debit cards are for right? OR as I'm sure DM would agree, significant other halves ;-)

Apparently it's: Irresistible Strike Mary Halford March Deans of Magic Charlie Green Urban Gypsies Hoop La La George Sampson Many are tipping for Charlie to get thru...

I have a few bottles of rum I'm willing to pass on if that helps :))

Has Andrew Johnston already had his claim to fame around Christmas time? I'm sure I saw him singing on the telly with the choir...

Not wanting to reignite any issues but... Scruffy said "Baby groups dominated by straight mothers can verge on the desparately boring, let's face it!!" How are they boring? I mean from any other group? Not being a parent myself I have absolutely no idea of the interest/activity of any parenting group so I only ask out of curiousity :)

With regards to Moos comment "Bus drivers aren't incentivised to catch fare dodgers either-at least, I think not!" it's certainly not the drivers responsibilty to catch anyone dodging a fair. They can certainly stop the bus and tell whoever is in the wrong to get off with the classic line "this bus aint going nowhere until you pay or get off" but anything else is down to the revenue (ticket inspectors) or even transport police/normal police to deal with - hence why sometimes the driver will do a "code red" for them to come a deal with it. :)

::o it shook me from the depths of my slumber!

Currently on day 3 of no alcohol... I may have over indulged last week... :-$ When memory starts to fail big time one thinks she needs a break! ::o

Coz we can't be bothered to w8 for a car to come along and drive thru the red light anyway :p

Where ever you are whether it be online, socially or at work you will always get groups that seem to be "cliquey" - meaning that there are those who feel there's "popular" crowd where they may not fit in. I personally don't see it here but, through general experience, I can understand how/why others may make that assumption. At times I see an overall point of view that I may not agree with which may give off the impression of a "clique" - if you don't agree you are outcast kind of thing, (yes yes I know this is not the case. I'm just expressing how others may percieve it) and so guess other that those who are not "regular" contributors may think on these ocassions a set group exists. A forum is what you choose to make it. If you want to get involved get involved...we all like to express our views, socialise and all that :)

Or hit by a bus/lorry

Sean you forgot to mention those that may be gay aswell ;-) (I'm meaning those that don't scream and shout about it)

its a 36 and 436 now a days cassius ;-)

Certainly travelling before 8:45 is easier. The buses are less crammed and traffic is easier. The journey time can vary from 30 mins to 1 1/2!

Sean you were only going one stop? ::o u lazy thing get off and walk! :p

Apologies in advance for my ramblings and inconsistent comments - I get carried away and easily distracted and then lose my train of thought... I think sometimes people get a bit carried away with the moment of a heated discussion (as already mentioned) and also forget this is an online forum and not, dare I say it, "real life". Yes I know for many on here it does or will effect the "real world" too (businesses, those who may be a bit of a local celebrity within the community etc) and so making a good positive impression of themselves is important and therefore when are cornered or pushed into a discussion that runs away with itself find it difficult to pull back and remain in favour. An easy way out of course is to quickly department whilst expressing a silly outburst of expression. One that one will always be remembered for ;-) Returning to my thoughts on the whole "online thing". I have had many years experience with various online social networking things and this kind of thing always pops up. We all join groups such as this for different reasons - to meet new people, to become more involved in the local community, to escape the hassles of every day life etc. It is very easy to create a different world completely different from the one users exist in and so can have difficulty in distinguishing between what is "real" and what is not. Some forget that people have feelings and what one may think is a completely innocent comment to make while upset another. Many have said it before "I bet you wouldn't dare say that to Xs face" and for many they wouldn't but there are also some that would making it difficult again to distinguish what is appropriate and what is not. so saying harsh brutal things can be taken to heart by other unintentionally. Communication through text is always a grrrr topic when things are easily miscontrued. How many times have any of you got completely the wrong end of the stick coz something hasn't been presented in the way you would like? Asking for clarification is helpful but also openmindedness and attempting to get an understanding of the way someone thinks and writes in necessary. Of course you also get those who use these facilities for their own agendas. Maybe they have nothing better to do. Maybe not. Some may be thought as sad, lonely, those you should feel sorry for but I always try to think of it more as I wonder why they are like that. What really is their problem deep down that they choose to escape from it on here? So why bug er off and vow never to return to come back shortly afterwards? It's an interesting thought... maybe the only answer is addiction? Attention seeking? Loneliness? At the end of the day life is certainly too short for anger and arguments. Feel the love man!

A man walks up to his house and notices his Grandfather sitting on the porch with nothing on from the waist down. ?Grandpa, what are you doing?? he exclaims. The old man looks at him and says, ?Well, last week I sat out here with no shirt on, and I got a stiff neck. This is your Grandma?s idea.?
