Re: The Paralympics

Did you see the table tennis player from Egypt, Grandad, he had no arms and held the bat in his teeth? It's wonderful how some can rise above their disabilities.

Re: What is your favourite animal?

My favorite animal is the white donkey who lives near me, he is tied up 24/7 on a rope attached to his leg approximately 6 feet long. Not even long enough for him to roll. He is there till someone comes along to hire one of the horses to ride then he goes out with one of the lads riding him accompan...

Re: What are you doing today?

I decided today was the day to sort out my books, those I have read and don't want anymore, those I have read but will happily read again. The unwanted ones have gone to friends. Sometimes looking at the title I couldn't remember if I had read it or not but a quick look at the short description on t...

Re: Getting on!

It's a not very well known fact RS that children age far more quickly than their parents. I remember being asked by my kids how old are you Mum, my reply for years until they started to understand 24, when your kids get to 25 though you have to add a few little years on. Just pretend you were a chil...

Re: How long is too long and/or is any length of time too sh

Apparently he has admitted drugging women and having sex with them whilst they were in no condition to agree. That in my mind is rape. Should he get away with it. NO. Should he have been charged with these crimes many years ago, YES. But now years later, one does have to wonder how many of the alleg...

Re: How Christmas Has Changed

My kids always had more fun with the cardboard boxes that their presents came in rather than the gifts themselves. Hours of fun hiding in them dragging each other round in them. I swore one year I would buy nothing but an assortment of boxes for them.

Re: WEATHER REPORTS FROM EVERYONE.

Sorry folks but it's been lovely these last few days, it went a bit chilly but seems to have warmed up again. Went out today took my cardi but too warm to use it.
Been watching the news and the weather in the North of UK sounds absolutely appalling. Hope you are OK in the Pool Robbo.

Re: 24 hours to go

When I lived in the UK it used to take me ages to get ready for Christmas, curtains down washed and ironed, windows cleaned, all the cupboards sorted out, all the "special dishes out and washed" my Christmas table cloth found with the napkins, the house sparkling. All the shopping, present...

Re: Am I becoming a racist?

Actually Grandad there are many more Australians fighting in Syria than there are Brits, next in number to the Americans who have joined the fight. People have also gone from Turkey, Germany and France. Speaking to a very good Muslim today he said he totally disagreed with what ISIS/ ISIL what ever ...

Re: Is This What They Call Charity?

I remember years ago on tele in the UK there was a programme on about the homeless begging in the street, a lot of them asked for money to buy food and then it was off to the local supermarket to buy drink, or elsewhere for drugs. They advised that instead of giving money to buy someone a meal. Thin...

Re: Is This What They Call Charity?

When I was in the UK there were three charities I gave to regularly, The McMillan nurses, Poppy Day appeal and the lifeboats. Nothing else. I used to live in Oxford not far from the Oxfam headquarters, the cars that I used to see there was unbelieveable.

There's a programme on TV here called Australian Master Chef, I first heard that expression "I'm stoked" on there, another horror.
