brum

Half the fire service...?! No, just me. And 2 chickens and a dog.

I instinctively back the underdog. Can't help myself. That is until new evidence emerges which even I struggle to defend....!

I too am feeling less sympathetic to this guy. His silky patter almost had me there....

Thanks narnia. It was fun while it lasted! Well done keef for picking the winning team today. Good luck for the next round.

Give the bloke a break. He's done nothing wrong other than try to win back an ex girlfriend!

Sorry Nette, but there are only 2 glasses with this fruity little number...

Ok...seeing as its you, karter... you may recognise this from 2009 (albeit amended slightly) *clears throat* Green and Blue We met in Green and Blue On a rainy day in June She wanted a nice red To go with pasta, she said "That's odd, so am I," I lied - Just to stand by her side "Maybe a Massaya from Lebanon, Or a Chateau-Haut-Goujon..?" We stared at the racks of red In silence as we read, Vaguely concious of the rain Running softly down the pane. And so, as grapes on the vine Must be picked at the right time, I knew my moment had come To ask the question... 'We could share....the bottle...I mean..' (God, suddenly I felt fifteen) Her eyes fixed ahead she smiled then said, "Let's take the Lebanon."

Before Christianity, the Romans would take local pagan gods and merge them with their own gods, to encourage Romanisation (e.g., Celt Sun Goddess Sulis and Roman Goddess Minerva at Aquae Sulis, now known as Bath)....perhaps something similar happened with the introduction of Christianity and your coin is an example of that? Just a thought.... A fantastic find, though! Edited to clarify my example.

Agreed, Michael. Whilst the back can quickly get full and be a bit of a squeeze, I find the quieter front much more intimate.

I was waiting for the first person to mention boobs. You didn't let me down babe x

With Michael, one can never be quite certain....

..and just to add, I suspect I know the reason for her gammy tummy. On her return from an earlier toilet visit to my garden (which she didn't take advantage of, incidentally) I noticed she was carrying something large in her mouth and was happily chewing on it. She refused to let go of it and I struggled to see what it was, so eventually I prized open her jaws - and a half-eaten piece of poo dropped out.

My daughter had a friend for a sleepover on Saturday night. Naively I agreed that her friend's 6 month old King Charles puppy could stay as well. Cute and fluffy though she was, I discovered too late that she wasn't fully house-trained... fucking poo all over my kitchen floor... AND she had a gammy tummy so it was huge, runny and the fucking stench made me heave... THEN as I was cleaning that up, she fucking pissed all along my hallway carpet. AND just for good measure, in the morning I awoke to find she had started menstruating all over my beds and furniture. The girls had a great time though.

Everton please... I'm drawn to teams in blue.

Loving the way you can't actually bring yourself to type their name, kpc!

Birmingham City please. Loyal and True to the end of the road. Which may actually turn out to be a small cul-de-sac, but there you go.

I love discovering faint echoes of the lives of those who lived in my house before me. Less popular are the choices of paint colour left by the previous occupants... orange walls FFS!

My dad (who was also a fireman) came home with a ouiji board that he found after a fire, the box browned and charred. One evening my big sister, her friend and I played on it whilst both parents were out. We 'contacted' an old lady who said she had died in an armchair in the room we were sitting in. We were all blaming each other for moving the cup, but we all swore we hadn't. Then at that moment we heard a loud knocking sound going all the way along the wall between the room and our kitchen. We were all petrified because the only other person in the house was my little sister asleep upstairs. The ouiji board was never played with again!

I'm not convinced that beans means parps. I can eat a whole tin and I parp just as much as usual.
