  2. Wow! I'm as jealous as hell Next Mood Swing: 6 minutes
  3. Baa, If you've seen one you've seen them all. Bloody kids, should be frozen at birth. Generally I would agree, but did you see them They're special they are exceptions Thank god they look more like their mother than her brother Dude, that would be incest. Seriously, they really are gorgeous. Nice photos too Next Mood Swing: 6 minutes
  4. Its normally RTAs isn't it? Next Mood Swing: 6 minutes
  5. Both our cars are white. All that says is we live in a country that's far too hot most of the time However, my last three cars when I was in the UK, were silver
  6. Ya I suppose we wouldn't tip either if our people were cheap, ugly and mean like the English. Goddamn it, you're right. At least they can think up a halfway decent insult though. It's not my problem you find the truth insulting. If you want to be insulted, come on over and play with me in the SC...

  9. +1 Tipping NOT wages and should NEVER be considered so. It's a nice way to say thank you, but taken to extremes in America Yah. What is it with the attitude that the customer MUST ALWAYS TIP? And why on earth should I be making up to the waiting staff? Finding something unique to say to them, smiling and joking with them? Just to get decent service? WTF? I dont want decent service, just bring me my food and fuck off, if I want or need anything I have a voice and will ask for it. Leave me the fuck alone to eat in peace. When i am done I am more than able to walk to a till and pay. = decent service, to me. Oh, and decent service is what the waiting staff is paid for, I think. So I'm not going to tip for it.

  11. So...you cut it and got how much for a pound? Or did you smoke up all the profits yourself? Well I don't consume any of it, but these damned rabbits seem to enjoy it. I'm considering building a little overpass over it so the coyotes and foxes can also enjoy the yard. And BTW, since my next-door neighbor is a cop, I don't think I'll be planting any special grasses any time soon. That reminds me of an article in the Daily Telegraph (broadsheet newspaper). It was about a rabbit called Bonkers who's owner used to feed the odd bit of weed every now and again. Bonkers really liked it and could be found chilling in the back garden after having some. Well one day a Jack Russell got into the garden while Bonkers was stoned. The article ended with 'it was Bonkers only bad trip'. Well, I thought it was funny.............. mind you, I think I may have been 'chilling' myself at the time. Next Mood Swing: 6 minutes
  12. while I can see your point for lists that can never be definitive, the number and name of countries don't change that often.......... Next Mood Swing: 6 minutes
  13. Would you add Oman to the list? Next Mood Swing: 6 minutes
  14. Congratulations. Thank you! Oman? Oh Man! Do you have to wear a burqua to the store 'n stuff like that? No, no, no. The Middle East isn't as horrific as certain people would like us to believe and Oman is probably the most Westernised of all the countries in this region. The only stipulation for dress as a woman is keeping shoulders and knees covered in public (Although there are many places were its acceptable to wear what you like - hotels/many restaurants/some beaches etc). Having said that many Western women out here still dress inappropriately, but the Omani's are incredibly tolerant and no one gets put in jail for being disrespectful to the local culture. Oman is a benevolent autocracy, the Sultan assumed power from his father 40 years ago and since then the country has grown beyond belief in every conceivable way. Omani's in general are pretty wonderful, they are incredibly friendly and welcoming and have a great (if wicked) sense of humour. They're Islamic, the majority are Ibadi Muslim, but they embrace it as I, personally, think Mohammed meant it to be embraced. Whilst they are extremely proud of their culture, their religion, their way of life, they don't condemn others who have a different culture, religion and way of life. Infact, they Oman is also a very beautiful country, with a huge diversity of landscape, architecture and a very rich culture. I love it and wish anyone with a negative view of Islam to come and experience it here. Next Mood Swing: 6 minutes
  15. Me2. What a tribute that 4 years later, people still post to her memorial page. Hear hear. Next Mood Swing: 6 minutes
  16. It actually seems that in few parts of the world, there are older people who seem to be somewhat immune, which could mean that a similar strain did hit these parts several decades ago (although I believe this was only an observation, not a medical fact as of few weeks ago). However, I seem to remember that this was quite localized, so older people in general are probably not any more immune to this strain than younger people. Ah, thanks for that.

  17. I did a jokey illustration for the vaccine a while back.
  18. I didn't have an opinion on this, but am interested to see what others' considered thoughts are. Nightingale's comment has made me realise though that I have limits to what I consider acceptable in this scenario. Next Mood Swing: 6 minutes
  19. I thought the article was unclear about the father's status - saying they jumped with him made it sound as though he was their TM. Next Mood Swing: 6 minutes
  20. Has http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article6826804.ece already been posted? Thoughts? Next Mood Swing: 6 minutes
  21. "I could care less" will also work when said with the proper sarcastic tone. Yeah, but everyone keeps leaving off their sarcasm tags. I'm not a mind-reader! Next Mood Swing: 6 minutes
