That's 'cos he thinks that he's cleverer, and knows better, than anybody else, but he doesn't seem to understand humour, which is all that I meant :emoticon-0101-sadsm

I try to make my humour as simple, and as obvious, like in this case, as possible, but some don't appreciate my innocent intent, so I apologise for over-estimating some on here <sorry> . . . . and some things that seem to be 'impressive' might still be rubbish, like in this case, so don't give too much credence to someone talking absolute bollocks :emoticon-0105-wink:

Anyway, if you don't understand something that someone has said you, perhaps, shouldn't say anything :emoticon-0100-smile

To maintain the theme of the thread . . . . why would you ?

n.b. quite a bit of Yellow Tail Chardonnay has helped in the making of this post (and I've had to correct a few initial errors after re-reading) so this wine should be mentioned in the credits :emoticon-0105-wink:

p.s. the thing about 4 dots instead of the grammatically correct 3 is to do with my preference, and **** all to do with 'what's right' . . . . the reference to it is just something to do with being pedantic :cheesy:

I prefer the Yellow Tail Shiraz myself, not bad at all and goes lovely with a nice Pecorino (spelling) and a slack handful of unsalted cashews.

That's some reply, mate <laugh>

I've just seen Sammie to bed after an emotional night. She's really opened up, which is great and eases my anxiety about her.

I'll see you on Tuesday. Are you coming for a drink afterwards or will you be heading straight back to work?
 
Where did all these replies come from all of a sudden <laugh>

All I can say about Gordon, is if you were to meet him he's actually really laid back and far from pedantic. It's a shame he's coming across the way he is to posters on this forum.

He's really stepped up for me this last month, in my personal life, and gone beyond what I expected.

Anyway chaps, I'm off to bed. It's been a long day and I've got an even busier day tomorrow <hug>

Why are wimmen so sensitive to humour? Told the wife there was a patch of water in the kitchen and to be careful (H&S trained) so she asked me just to wipe it up. Just 'cos I said I would as it was important that she finished the pies she was baking she took the hump.

She took it again when she asked me to take the towels out of the tumble dryer and I asked her where it was. No pie for me though when she said I would starve when I was left on my own. I reeled off the takeaways and pie shops along about half mile over the road and she lost it completely.

Because like most of the Christian festivals it existed before Christianity came along and conveniently have events at the same times of the year. Easter is about the start of Spring and all about fertility hence rabbits and eggs, it isn't the rabbit laying the egg just the two things together as a representation of fertility.

It wasn't originally a rabbit. It's a medieval belief and originally it was hare. Because of the way that hares give birth, people never encountered very young and helpless hares (like they would with rabbits, perhaps mainly because they kept rabbits for food) and so assumed, because they never saw very young hares in the spring but saw adolescent ones later on, that hares laid eggs. Because, like you say, eggs are a symbol of fertility the egg and the hare became linked in peoples minds and the hare (which later became a rabbit) became the distributor of these symbols of fertility became the hare. God knows why they didn't just pick a chicken.
