Totally agree with you on that one..nothing worse then a working class snob!.

Gods coccain habit as gotta stop!

Yep out of the Trekkis Voyager was my favorite too but did have a soft spot for Enterprise. I wish a series could be made based on Starship troopers!.

X factor for sure!.. Brain dead viewing and I cannot stand Simon cole!.

I wish the people commenting on Dexter would a least get there facts right about the show before putting it down as bad television veiwing.;-)

Was a big fan of malcolm in the middle and i did see a trailer for this series ages ago..so is it played straight? or is there a hint of black comedy?

A lonely frog went to a psychic to find out about his future. The psychic tells him, "You are going to meet a beautiful young girl who will want to know everything about you". The frog is thrilled and says "This is great! Where will I meet her: at work, at a party?" "No," says the psychic, "in a biology class."

Was thinking of asking my other half for a Ipod phone for Christmas. dont know much about them? are they any good? can I have some input please or are they a waste of money?. scarlet

One Christmas Eve, a frenzied young man ran into a pet shop looking for an unusual Christmas gift for his wife. The shop owner suggested a parrot, named Chet, which could sing famous Christmas carols. This seemed like the perfect gift. "How do I get him to sing?" The young man asked, excitedly. "Simply hold a lighted match directly under his feet." was the shop owner's reply. The shop owner held a lighted match under the parrot's left foot. Chet began to sing: "Jingle Bells! Jingle Bells! ..." The shop owner then held another match under the parrot's right foot. Then Chet's tune changed, and the air was filled with: " Silent Night, Holy Night..." The young man was so impressed that he paid the shop-keeper and ran home as quickly as he could with Chet under his arm. When the wife saw her gift she was overwhelmed. "How beautiful!" She exclaimed, "Can he talk?" "No," the young man replied, "But he can sing. Let me show you." So the young man whipped out his lighter and placed it under Chet's left foot, as the shop-keeper had shown him, and Chet crooned: "Jingle Bells! Jingle bells!..." The man then moved the lighter to Chet's right foot, and out came: "Silent Night, Holy night..." The wife, her face filled with curiosity, then asked, "What if we hold the lighter between his legs?" The man did not know. "Let's try it," he answered, eager to please his wife. So they held the lighter between Chet's legs. Chet twisted his face, cleared his throat, and the little parrot sang out loudly like it was the performance of his life: "Chet's nuts roasting on an open fire...." Scarlet>:D<

I am not pretending to be coy at all..in fact I am a dirty barstard myself I freely admit it what I cannot stand is people who are up their own arse pretending that they have never heard a rude joke in their life acting all shocked and offended!.

I think some women can be much ruder then men! Dirty mares some of you can be! can make a builder blush!. I think this is a great thread talking about a adult toy for ladies fun. Would there be the same negative comments if a guy was asking about what type of fleshlight to use?...google it! stop slagging off djkiller queen its all fun!.

Our ice cream man was found lying on the floor of his van covered with hundreds and thousands. Police say that he topped himself.
