I had a 'free' tree from woolworths last year :))

It looks rotten to me

What is that Easties ?

Does anyone know where i can buy a fibre optic tree or an artificial tree with all the decorations already on it ? I really cant be arsed with any of it but am trying to make an effort . Thanks

Very very funny :)):))

OLD people, if you feel cold indoors this winter, simply pop outside for ten minutes without a coat, when you go back inside you will really feel the benefit.

My kids encourage me to invite a date home, so they can take the p1ss .

Ive got mixed views. It depends on the adults and children involved, and how its done. If a big fuss is made about it all, then that's what is inappropriate. Dropping by for a cup of tea is no big deal. Kids arent that fragile. People come and go all the time, no one expects everyone they've ever been introduced to , to stick around forever .

DON'T waste money buying expensive binoculars; simply stand closer to the object you wish to view.

Whatta load of old sh1t. Didnt they eek it out tonight .

Ah No.. Ive had to turn the sound off again, cant stand the screaming and the gushing, my god they're not saving the world are they, think im gonna be sick .

If it was on Friern road, some fat slag comes out the flats and scratches cars all the way down to Goodrich on its way taking its kid to school :-S

Hehehehee :))

I thought Louisa's post was quite funny and she makes some good points. Sorry I dont agree with the majority. I know who i'd prefer to spend christmas with .. However, I do hope it goes well for you all :)

On the other hand.. four fingers and a thumb

well ive got 10 all primary school age looking for a dad

Start looking for a babysitter for her then and take her out

I suppose its alright if the kids are in bed asleep ?

I suppose it depends how its done ? If she says 'look children, this is your new daddy/uncle' that is a bit too soon .

Mums the Word Meaning Means to convey no secrets and remain silent . Origin This has nothing to do with mothers and more to do with the 'mmmmm' we use with tightly closed lips indicating we have nothing to say on a subject .The phrase was first recorded in 1540 but is thought to be at least 200 years older still .

In case any of you are wondering, it's not me !

There But For The Grace Of God Go I Meaning Used by people noting anothers misfortune and suggesting it could easily be them . Origin The popular Protestant preacher John Bradford first used this phrase whilst being held in the Tower of London on the charges of 'trying to stir up a mob'. All he had done was to save a Catholic preacher named Bourne from a baying Protestant mob. But this happened during the reign of Mary 1, whose restoration of the Catholic Church saw the persecution of many protestants. While in the Tower, Bradford witnessed many being taken away for execution and each time would remark ' There but for the grace of God goes John Bradford'. But Bradford was soon charged with heresy and later burned at the stake in Smithfield market on 1 July 1555 .

Skeleton In The Cupboard Meaning To have a shameful secret hidden away Origin Until 1832 it was illegal to dissect a human body for the benefit of medical research, but of course many a physician still did, and the skeletons had to be hidden somewhere. It is also true that, after dissections became legal, grave robbers would dig up newly buried corpses and sell them to unscrupulous doctors in an underhand way. This practice was so frowned upon that medical men would try to keep their secrets hidden away in locked cupboards. The phrase was first used in print during an article in Punch magazine, written in 1845 by William Thackeray, and has been in common usage ever since .
