I'm not shouting at you! I'm interested, really. It's been a long day and I'm distracting myself. So tell me. In your view, does that make them different from men?

Does that make them different from men?

So what is your view?

Unreliable mobile phone signals during interesting conversations! Grrrrrr!

Overwhelming

Cars that make a terrible noise till you take them to a garage to be fixed, whereupon they behave beautifully and make not the tiniest sound.

I'm not sure it's fair to criticise Councillor Barber in this instance. It seems that no laws are being broken, or rules for which he is responsible, in which case it isn't really a matter for him or the Council. And in a personal capacity he has said he is uncomfortable about interfering with these displays. What more can/should he do? I also think that grief takes many forms. Not everyone feels it in such a public way, I agree, but I'm not sure it's a question of right or wrong. Just different. I can't begin to imagine how I would feel if I saw a child die, much less cope with that happening to my own. I'd like to think that people would give me the space to express my grief in whatever way I needed. And if I felt the need to make a shrine I think I'd find it unbelievably painful to be told to remove it before I was ready. And I'd like to think that that would count ahead of what other people, who weren't in the pain I was in, might privately feel about it. A tatty display has no value other than that accorded to it by those who put it there. And if it helps them, in even the tiniest way, to cope with their pain, then I'm for leaving it where it is.

Well Baloo didn't do that well v Sheer Kahn. Though I do concede that he wasn't a polar bear. So I'm not sure that adds much to the debate.

I don't doubt you Huguenot. My comment was aimed at Woof who has been rather naughty on this thread, even for him, and at Brum, for suggeting some kind of love rival situation. Again, rather naughty. I tut in their general direction.

Poor Miss Hope. She is endlessly helpful, and is rewarded with cheeky pesterings. Being as lovely as she is she is no doubt used to it, but really boys. Do try to behave.

By (couldn't say "butterfly" when I was little so I said "flutterby" instead).

I have, quite literally, no sense of direction. So the first thing I do when I arrive somewhere new it try to work out where the hell I am. I often fail.

The horse race and the game show are my all time favourites. And the reworked version of Moonlight Sonata. Laugh? I nearly.....

Hope you have a lovely time at G&B chicknic!

You could PM Woofmarkthedog or Chick. They're into bees.

That's a very Western Liberal View ???? ;-)

*gasp* Sean, you're not over 18 are you?!

If it helps you to decide (and yes I know I'm biased) absolutely no one I have been to a wine tasting with, and I have been to many, have spat out the wine. Personally I just can't bring myself to do it, our wine is SO delicious! Kate does (the owner who does the tastings) but that's because she does so many different wine based activities in a day she'd be completely plastered by 11am if she wasn't spitting some out. And I wouldn't worry about it being over civilised either. Oh the stories I could tell you! In fact several customers have come in the morning after specifically to apologise...........!

I hear what you say RosieH but I'm sticking with lunatic. In my view only a lunatic would consider it acceptable to use that as a defence to rape. I'm not saying it isn't used, or that it doesn't work. But you're a raving loon if you think it's an acceptable defence of anything. Though we are now rather off topic. Sorry Mick Mac, is this better: Girls and the well manicured - 1 Boys - 0 Not that I'm competitive or anything.

Indeed LadyM. Girls - 1 Boys ex Sean - 0

We have lots of different wine tasting evenings going on at Green & Blue at the moment. Have a look at our website for details.
