SteveT

He (T Walsh)is very knowledgeable but I cannot stand the way he constantly puts people down who are less skilled than he.

I'm sure you are right David, however if there is talent there then it will show itself early enough. That talent may be thwarted by the hang ups of the person if he or she is an obnoxious loud mouthed yobbish low life then it will bear less fruit than a conventionally well mannered variety of individual such as yourself David.

The right sounds during an interview means not swearing, or making outrageous remarks, or showing uncontrolled anger, any of these are a 'fail' in whatever you are applying for. Good manners, or general politeness, looking conventionally well groomed, are of great benefit at such times, in my opinion. There are exceptions to these rules but then you have to be super talented, originality of thought and/or a proven track record such as Sir John Harvey Jones (managed ICI) who had long hair which was well below his collar.

A bag in bed sounds like more fun.

Thats because sex is a participation sport, if you want to get the most out of it. Although I have indulged in porn watching and will no doubt do so again, I have found it in double quick time, dull and repetitive. There is nothing like the knowledge and anticipation of fornication and the feeling of a woman beneath ones bones to make a great turn on. Porn is a very poor second, a wank is never as good as a satisfying shag, especially with a partner who is hot for it. Finding a compatible partner who is hot for the long haul is the toughest challenge.

Which one?

My brother was reluctant to eat vegetables unless they had been covered with apple sauce. He was only fourteen at the time so there was plenty of time to grow out of it. Now at the tender age of sixty something he does eat his greens, so a happy ending.

Paula Radcliffe did it when she was being filmed in front of 50 million people, but wotcha gonna do!

I love your pictures Charlies, I used to dream of a mobile home like that one when I was a kid. Today I purchased a piece of guttering and two end caps, filled it with compost and planted a bag of peas and french beans along it's length, and now it's raining which saves me from having to water it. Hooray.

You get into all the swimming classes free with full membership.

Survived the hard times you must be joking quantative easing has prevented the hard times, I should wait until the election is history there will be no more quantative easing and then the hard times will ease in with a bump! Anyone wishing to buy just wait, you may get value for money shortly.

I think MLteenie should be informed of this new potential 'line' for his bicycle fixing and repair business, it has great possibilities Dom.

Cam123 I will be delighted to shake your hand for half the amount she wanted:))

I briefly visited Rugby School (working there not studying) and I went into the science lab which looked like something out of Dickens. The state secondary school which I attended had far more equipment and was far superior fitted out for that subject. The main distinction when the classes were in action was the strict discipline and excellent behaviour by the students at Rugby where as at my own school they were barely keeping it together by that time.

I was well into middle age before an Irish buddy told me that George Bernard Shaw was Irish I had read all of them some years earlier. Arthur Wellesley was Irish too and he changed his name to the Duke of Wellington I had read loads about him before that revelation too. I wonder why all these talented Irish men are all but denied there heritage?

You might pull a swede.

She came to my place (barry rd) some months back but I was sceptical about her story so said go elsewhere. She has been written about on here before, the lying lazy fraudulent toad. When people like her come knocking at your door it makes it so much more difficult to react positively for a genuine person in need. I would call the police next time as she must be known to them, because she's been at it for years.

and then sending it on to the police gazette:))

Yet this occurs in the richest nation on Earth. Rich in resources but not in ready cash. China, Japan, and India has that. They have been giving China government bonds for years to settle a percentage of their debts which was fine, until China demanded more dollars.

Some of the weeds brought in via compost bags are the ones which when you touch them they spring apart showering the place with seed. Some of the professionals on gardeners question time (Daphne Ledward) has stopped using bags of compost and buys ex-mushroom growing stuff because of the resilient weeds compost brings in. I cleaned the bird boxes yesterday and hosed them out for the new season.

When I was growing up we had no hot water, the lavatory was at the bottom of the garden, and the house was cold if you were more than 3 feet away from the fire. Many today would consider us to be poor, but their were those who were less well off who went to school with holes in there trousers and socks. We never considered ourselves to be well off but we were not poor either, as everyone in the neighbourhood was in the same position and nobody else had hot water or a bathroom either. Being poor is a relative condition. If you could not afford something you went without, you had no credit card to ease your way down the slippery slope. No cash, no nothin'.

Have a lazy day slumming it and when you next go in, say you were the invisible man and hand them a couple of used bandages.

If I wanted to go away for three days I would have a couple off sick to make a week of it;-)

...'and the next one right in here'.....Michael Miles.....'shall he open the box or take the money?' When discovered in an untidy condition (with his willy out) on an airport bus, the policeman asked for his name he said "Hughie Green" On his next show Hughie started off by saying "this is the real Hughie Green folks"
