  1. What's going on? I can't quote or reply to anything...

      Happened to me a couple of times in recent days. Reloading the page fixed it.

  2. Just a thought, but according to the rules of "Just a minute", you must talk for a minute without deviation, repetition or hesitation, then a natural stutterer would win every time... 😉 @Luc Turpin

  3. Dad will be allowed to pass in two weeks, when his life support is to be stopped, on the advice of the expert's the family has decided that Jesus better get his skates on and forgive the ol' bugger.

    RIP the day after yesterday... 😉

      I'm sorry, Dim. I wish him a peaceful passing when it comes. My sympathies.

      My sympathies I know what its like having experienced it a few years ago when my mother passed with cancer. You know you have support so don't hesitate to use it when needful.

      My condolances Dim,

      I don't know you but If it helps, my dad was a total @:?@@.  If yours was a good dad to you, remember and embrace that always.

      And remember that he is still a part of who you are & will always be with you because of that.

      If it makes you smile when you think of him, thats really cool.

      For me that time is when your actions make a positive difference.

      Positive one's do...

  5. We need to recognise the difference between a fundamental ‘human right’ and a right born of privilege and be prepared to give up a few privileges for the greater good, sometimes.

      Who gets to decide what is best for the greater good?

      If we all recognise the difference; then we all do.

  7. Tomorrows right is today's privileged, it's important to focus on the right's that really matter.

  8. If you can't be content with what you have you won't be content with more.

      Life provides the rigour, introspection provides the answers.

  9. I’m not suggesting anyone needs to live without money to be content; but one does need to lose the fear not fear the loss.

      Content without money are you mad? People without money are looked down upon and shunned by society. Treated differently simply because of whom they are. Unable to do most of what they want to do because of the burden of responsibility

  10. If you can't be content without money; you can't be content with money.

      Alright, I was taking from their common meanings. If that's your definition, then a man who cannot be happy without his boat cannot be content.

      I'm starting to think this might make a good topic.

  11. Suddenly David Moyes’ tenure isn’t looking so bad... LOL

      I'm a Stoke fan, for no more reason than my Uncle who, for an inexplicable reason, was. Manchester who?

       

  12. SHARE, if you’re fed up with being bullied, guilted or coerced into sharing a post. :)

  13. For me, Lionel Messi is the GOAT (greatest of all time) of footbal, only he can play in a team in which, he’s the only threat; and so gets triple teamed every game and against the best players, and STILL single handed drag his team mates this far in the world cup, whatever happens now, he’s the best, what a player.

      hmm - Maradona? Messi gotta win World Cup to be best ever - even though I completely agree he carries team, and might even carry them to the Cup.

  14. Someone very special smiled at me today; happy days :)...

  15. How fickle is your love? My doggy, how fickle is that love?You lick my face, with less than grace, but how fickle is that love?You do what I ask, with such a gasp, cupboard love I ask, How fickle?How can I ask, when all you ask, is just to make me happy, how fickle is that love?I tell you off and you don’t scoff, how fickle is that love?I do what I do and so do you, my lovely little doggy, not so fickle, love...

      Great poem, maybe I should have recited it to my bassets last night when I was cutting toe nails, one of them still won't let me pet him, gonna take afew dasy for that doggies love to show again I think...

  16. Chris Froome extends his lead in the tour to over 4 mins, England win the first test by 14 runs, Scott Redding leading the Moto 2 championship by 23 points, Cal Crutchlow 2nd in the Motogp and extends his lead over Rossi, British Lions destroy Australia in the 3rd test etc. etc... Great days :)

      And the weather is great! Presume you are not a tennis fan - cos that was quite a big one too!

      As you know I’m a big bike fan, what you didn’t know is that it’s both powered and unpowered. Rugby is a huge favourite winter sport (having played most of my life) and cricket is the summer equivalent. My apologies for neglecting to mention Andy Murray’s tremendous achievement, and of course those of our Olympians, I had to draw the line somewhere.

  17. Studies have shown that people who have more birthdays live longer; I'm well on my way... Thanks, to my friends, for all the encouragement :)

  18. At the cinema the other day I saw an old man and his dog. It was a sad funny kind of film, you know the type. In the sad part, the dog cried his eyes out, and in the funny part, the dog laughed its head off. This happened all the way through the film. When the film was over, I decided to go and speak to the man."That's the most amazing thing I've ever seen," I said. "Your dog really seemed to enjoy the film."The man turned to me and said, "Yeah, it IS amazing. He HATED the book!"
