It takes 3 to make a baby http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-23086162. I don't really want any more babies -but I am willing to consider research to 'broaden' my mind ( of course ) How long do you think I would still have certain appendages attached to my body if I suggested the idea ? I don't mean introducing another man - you don't see two bulls in a field of cows. I would definitely lose my reproductive abilities if I gave that reasoning.
I think you should certainly try the idea out .... cos the outcome would make a fabulous story for us to read
Today at work... Boss: What is your availability next? Me: I have some time free, why? Boss: Well we need some one to walk along a network of culvert beneath Bradford carrying out water sampling looking for the source of a pollution incident Me: Ok, what is the pollutant? Boss: They don't know Me: O... what wait! You want to send me down into a confined space with a unknown potentially harmful substance for an extended period of time? Boss: Yes Me: Do I look stupid? Boss: Yes Me: Ok I'll do it
I'm not sure if my neighbour is as mad as these Yesterday (very early) evening I visited a friend and parked in the road outside his terraced house ( with no frontage ). I needed to get some gear( not drugs ) from the boot - after which I shut the bootlid and then closed the drivers door & locked up. At this point the neighbour opened his door. It is customary for me to greet neighbours of friends that I attend - so I said " Good evening. " ( I even try to be friendly with neighbours of friends - for their sake ) Can you imagine my surprise when he replied " Stop making all that noise. " I said " I'm sorry -I was only closing my car doors." His reply, " Well do it quietly. " ( I never slam my car doors - and hate it if other people do ) I said " I do apologise if it offended you. " I hope he detected a hint of sarcasm in my voice. My friend was embarrassed - said that his neighbour was always like that with his visitors. On another occasion I went to another friends house and parked in the vacant space outside the neighbouring house ( the elderly occupant has no car ). As I was getting out, the occupant of this house emerged from their front door. She said " Do you have to park there ? " I replied " Are you expecting anyone who might need the space ? " ... I had moved on previous occasions when she stated she was expecting family ( I am a considerate person - really ). She said " No " I said ( still trying to be friendly for the sake of my friend ) " Well I'm not going to be long and this space is next to my friends house." She said " I wish you wouldn't park there - I don't want to see that when I look out of my windows." My car is a humble Peugeot - not a tank ! I made no further comment as I walked into my friends house. I resisted the tempation to tell this neighbour that she wouldn't be offended by the presence of my car if she didn't look out of her windows. It's not as if I hadn't been reasonable on all the occasions that I moved my car to free up the space for her visiting relatives - the more you do for people.... edit - my loony magnet works wherever I go.
It's not you alwaysright. You will at long last be pleased to hear or should I say read, if gfc1234 is watching. What you are experiencing is a sad restricted concept of the human brain or I may I suggest a physicalist theory of mind. Hence why people never understand my ramblings, like the peglegs all daring to come out and play at the same time - lol - (only taking the opportunity to joke about the 'nutters' sketch with you pegleg). Neighbour's friends such as you describe see you creating some sort of insecurity in their mind, like being confined in a box in readiness for a remake of the Trueman Show, while seeing you as some sort of humanoid from the Surrogates (Bruce Willis). It's like they were rejected for a part in Total Recall because no medication is going to help release their insecurity of you parking in their place. Give them the chance and they will still be standing there watching you watching them. While I just sit on the outside laughing like that nutter pegleg describes, when the truth is I'm the sane one. So next time someone complains about a breeze my firiend, just ask them one question is there something else they want to tell you, either hidden romantic feelings or like the kid in The Sixth Sense...

Of course, brb you are correct ( even if I had to tweak your post a bit ) nb... I don't usually go in for Bruce Willis stuff - but thought 6th Sense was good. edit - I could be nasty and say that I'm not seeing enough dead people at the minute ! further edit - just for you brb https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/...xt0ghd72UnIrgK9mde50GZyYASqYzTzcbbKmjCtOcMAAI and will this be us on our next away trip - I've already got my hump !

The picture made me laugh. Us to a tee waiting to recommence the forthcoming travels of a new season.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-20978487 32% - and yet the chancellor expects the rest of us to tighten our belts - for many years to come ! I note that the figures do not show the huge amount of 'expenses' that greatly add to their salaries.... greedy b******s " We're all in it together " !!!!! - there's only one thing that we're all in together - that's the pile of bull**** that comes out of the mouths of our honourable members
alwaysright you aren't the only with one parking issues. Where I live its a constant struggle for parking spaces. We live in a small terrace of cottages which have no drives as they are off the road over looking another. There is space for 6 cars for five houses. At the moment there is currently 8 cars for the five houses, so as an agreement we've all decided to take one space per house. However we live on a hill just above a train station/halt where the are double yellow lines to prevent commuters from parking there. We therefore can not park down there as we risk getting a parking fine (I got one a few weeks back for it). The houses further up the road all have drives so we therefore have to park outside their houses. Now as they are getting annoyed with us parking there, they have started parking a massive van in of the spaces which could easily get on their drive. As my mum had to park even further away last night (Im talking a good 150 metres) an old gentleman then decided to walk out of my house and have a massive go at her for parking there which reduced my mum to tears. I'm sorry but we bloody well pay our road tax like everyone else and it is a PUBLIC road which he has no control over where people park! Now the fact he reduced my mum to such an emotional state absolutely enfuriates me and I will very much take it up with the old timer if I see him. Also just to top it off we've discussed getting parking permits in order for us to park down the hill (towards the train station) to avoid but the people along the end (who are complete jobsworths) won't cough up when they have two vehicles. Instead they want to tarmac over the alotments which ajoin the gardens and use it as carpark. Now every single house along the terrace uses their alotment to grow different veg and stuff and it could never be done. There is a rather large slope, an old anderson shelter down there and more importantly the wall that surrounds the allotments is made of Kentish Ragstone and therefore listed! But purely because he doesn't use his allotment, every other house should therefore give theirs up aswell but yet they are the only ones who won't pay for a parking permit. Where is the logic in that?
The Gills Pegleg I sympathise with you - fully understand your feelings. I'm not sure if people are : (a) Selfish - Where & how they park (b) Don't know how to park I suspect that it's a mixture of both. When I go to away games I sometimes try to park in Chicago Avenue in Gillingham - it's close to the coach pick up and not in the resident parking zone. All the houses have driveways, and/or garages. Often the driveways are empty - yet - there are cars on the road. These( I mean ONE car ) are parked in the middle of the space between two dropped kerbs. The driver has deliberately positioned the car so that anyone parking next to that car will partly obstruct a dropped kerb - and risk getting a ticket. These people have offroad parking - but do not use it ! This mentality of using enough room to park a tank is very frustrating when parking spaces are becoming fewer.
gfclukey has started a positivity thread. In the interest of fairness - and very much in keeping with the AGRS thread, I feel the need to invite your comments. They don't have to be football related - you might want to complain about the lack of roundabout or supermarket news - or whatever - just go ahead and MOAN - you miserable bleepers.
On Monday, ( a reasonably warm day ), I returned home ( nobody else indoors ), in the middle of the afternoon to find a large note, printed in 4 different coloured highlighter pens - attached to my front door window - with double-sided carpet tape ! ( a bugger to get off ). It was headed ' Monday 1st July'... in the middle a large number 9... around it was... ' windows open - an odd number - very odd ?' Guess who it was from ! Maybe walls do have holes in them - somebody appears to have found a radical solution to his 'problem' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-23156670 who dares me to print off the story and put it through my neighbour's door ? edit - the 9 windows were all fanlight windows of my bedrooms, bathroom, toilet, kitchen and front lounge ( not that the number or size has any relevance )
Sounds like a right nutter next door to you mate. Anyway changing the subject temporarily to organ donations or is that still on topic! I had a right kick off with a Tory Cllr on twitter last night, who feels that on my death it can be presumed they are allowed to cut me to bits and own any part of my body they so choose. Ok, slight exaggeration on my part but moral of the story is just the same. His response tick the box. Hang on, why should I have to tick a bloody box to stop the government owning my body, what right do they have to do that! Yes, I know it is ONLY ticking a box but it is the principle and moral of the idea. All because those that choose to donate can't be asked to tick the bloody box themselves. Obviously I tipped the Cllr over the edge by claiming it to be #bullyboytactics but that is precisely what it is. Like the anti smoking campaign we will force you into the minority and like the pied piper you will follow. If I choose to give my organs to someone, I will do so freely, not under some government control, no matter how simple that box is to tick. We come into this world knowing we will live and die, fate will take us on a course through that and we will have to make decisions along the way. However, stop cloning us, stop treating us like robots, stop trying to control every aspect of our life. It might only be the simple matter of ticking a box but it's the failure to see the point and offence it creates that angers me most. We all have a choice but I will not succumb to emotional bullying based around the scenario of life or death. In the meantime I guess I best not drive into Wales...http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-politics-23143236
brb, Please get real, your liver will be destroyed from the drink, your lungs destroyed from smoking, your heart worn out from supporting Gills, your brain "ok the jury is out" what part is it that you are worried about.
