  1. I hope I've mastered the quote on this tap talk thing. I know from personal experience that is not always the case A Red. Yes some escape prison but many don't, many end up in a worse situation than they were before they committed a crime. Look at the statistics for crime, the type of crime and sentences handed out. particularly for women.
  2. It bloody well is easy to get a custodial sentence.Whilst the risk of losing their vote probably won't come into a potential offenders thought before they partake in any activity, surely you have to look deeper than that? Most people who commit crimes aren't gun yielding drug dealers or gangsters. Jeeze.
  3. There are a fair few about, just need the artwork and size of the banner/flag to be able to get a price. I suppose it's worth asking people to start posting their ideas with MSpaint art work? Where's RiS these days?
  4. Bit iatrogenic, overdosed on some medicine when i was around 3, ended up in hospital having my stomach pumped. Measles at 7, broken limbs in my teens, ruptured ovarian cyst requiring surgery, pneumonia. Urgh, thank goodness for the NHS!
  5. I don't think anyone took it the wrong way, and you're right, this shouldn't slip. His life has touched us all (some in a more pervy way than others) and it would be fitting that we recognise that. The suggestion from Furmege is fab, and if not in the program maybe in the fanzine if Dave is ok with it? Same as you, what ever is decided, count me in.
  6. I've no idea how to embed an image on my phone, needless to say it's more weird science, but I'm no Lisa.
  7. The other half has claimed them for when he can't find a hat. The whole of his incredibly small head fits inside the cup part. Very strange man.
  8. I spent the afternoon with a an axe in hand and chopped enough wood to see us through the next 2 weeks. My back is killing me. The later makes me almost a bloke.
  9. Thanks for letting us know. Isn't it amazing, the passing of someone you've never met can leave you feeling so shitty. How much an impact his sharing has had on us all. What an incredible fellowship and family we have here. The usual saying would be our thoughts are with those who know you, but that's us, thats each of us reading this thread and receiving that horrible news of the loss of a friend. Rest in peace, Steve. You will be so truly missed.
  10. Ha, I clearly never negged you on the old system! Sorry sweetie. x
  11. I've had four kids, I'm lucky if I can feel that i'm wiping the right area after I've had a wee.
  12. I've never=understood this - is there actually any extra pleasure in ribbed ones?
  13. Indeed, I remember questioning if it was my standards that were too high. Nope, just that there are few genuinely decent people around. The thing is, places like the GF are incredibly one sided and do not represent the population as a whole. It meant getting over the heart break of The Bitch wanting to go traveling even harder. Where the hell is he these days?
  14. Shitting bollocks. Steve, you've fought like a beast, from the bottom of my heart I thank your for allowing us to share this walk with you as far as we could, for the laughter and the smiles in the face of adversity. Most of all, thank you for choosing us. Rest easy mate, x
  15. *Bangs head on wall* Money is the root of many a row in most households i'd have thought, but seriously? None of the above makes sense other than she's taking the piss. You'd be absolutely amazed how quickly you can recover financially when someone isn't bleeding you dry. So you wouldn't be losing contact or anything because they're old enough to maintain it themselves? I loved my years on my own, and as much as I love Mr Melons, the peace I had in those years was amazing, it was all my shit and I could deal with it or jib it off. Most of the time I just left it as i couldn't be arsed. I have little to no contact with family and it's bliss. Now, Mr Melons' ex is a piece of work and i would pummel her face through to next week given half the chance for the grief she causes me. He's used to it so just lets most of it slide and goes along with what she demands for a peaceful life, even if it means him doing without holidays because it's his week with the kids, she won't let us take them abroad and she won't negotiate different dates - fuck that. Some women are proper cranks.
  16. Watched this last night, really enjoyed it. Land of hope and glory was fantastic. 8/10 from me (due to some shoddy wall art)
  17. There are a few near me, you can actually hear them spinning across the valley. Noisy things. Solar farm would be totally ace providing we're promised the sun. I grew up like that and to be fair given where I live now I'd be pretty pissed off if they put a phone mast up, I can live with having little to no signal, its just one of those things. I wouldn't like to get up each morning and look out of the bedroom window to see a massive ugly thing on top of one of the fields/hills opposite. We all have our faults RR, you need to accept that you're wrong about sauce and move on. x Ha, negged for being so wrong. The kids fell over at the delight of such a thing, as they fell over their clothes fell off, the suspects were merely looking for injuries with their knobs.
  18. Try it, it's loads better than that middle class mayo stuff people try to eat chips with.
  19. Do you use pee wet or something to add flavour instead? You shouldn't be able to stand a spoon upright in gravy. To make it right it needs to almost do this initially, then you add water and what have you - in our house it pours on thicker than soup (as it should) and then you add the vinegar. Bloody hell, bet you don't put tomato sauce with your gravy either? ETA - I'm still shuddering at the memory of seeing the term pea wet in use. And yes - i used pee deliberately, it may as well be piss.
  20. Haha, In this house it's reached a point where i can't even jet wash the drive when he's home from work. As much as i'd like to think this is brilliant, he stops whatever it is he needs to be cracking on with to take over, this means it takes even longer to complete whatever it was he was doing in the first place. ​ I've learnt that his work days are the ones to get shit done, if i want to paint I need to have it done in a day. I did the drive yesterday (to be fair it's huge and takes about 4 hours) and this afternoon i'm digging up the garden and shifting some more stones. This way, when he gets home tomorrow he'll see what i'm doing and want to use the mini digger we've borrowed as it'll be done quicker and he gets to play with another piece of machinery.
  21. Nah, it's just the second we get out the tools needed to do the job the other half comes to take over in case we damage anything!
  22. Last summer, a friend of mine was about to have a baby and needed someone to cover the summer in her shop on a caravan site she owned. Pay was shit, but after the morning rush for papers I sat there most of the day watching films. The despair some people had when they didn't get the paper they wanted was really amusing, seeing a rag readers face look pained as i offered them the 'I' as a viable and cheap alternative. Brilliant.
