Toast

May I suggest an alternative:

and spelling. I was just going to point that one out Aye, sorted, so there's an entrance exam from now on asking to distinguish between their/they're/there and in what circumstances one might usefully employ a semi-colon And the correct usage of 'less' and 'fewer'.

Well that's 32% of the forum members out of the door. Where shall we find another forum to inhabit Lardy? Mumsnet?

I don't think she looks too bad. The short hairstyle isn't a good look on her though.

I feel so sorry for the poor people behindyou. I was holding my camera on my knee the whole time. " Dirtracer18 Geoffrey got home and realised his videos were terrible, with blurry vision and distorted sound. He posted them on the internet anyway. No one watched them."

Sorry Phantom. It's been a crap year for unexpected deaths and terminal diagnoses here too, so I sympathise.

I went to see Public Service Broadcasting at Brixton Academy recently, and they showed that at the start of the gig. Excellent show, can recommend seeing these guys live.

For the record I've no idea the joke/subtlety/inference/tongue-in-cheek reference that team name was supposed to elicit. None whatsoever. Guess I'm an idiot (well...a given) SC Which team name? http://www.deathlist.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=6213&p=241333 Oh. This should help.

I find that asking people what they would like works very well. There's only so many times you can ask someone want for Christmas before you seem like an irritating git. Thankfully I only have a handful of people to buy for this Christmas and they've all said what they want so the usual "will she think I think she's an alcoholic if I buy her a bottle of vod or will she think I think she's fat if I buy her a box of choccy?" isn't an issue. You only need to ask them once a year. No one I know would give a shit what I thought about them, nor would I care. But I don't have any secret drinkers on my present list, they're all out and proud I think you're overthinking it, especially with the chocolate thing. Other tactics are encouraging people to keep a wish list; something I do myself so that if asked what I want for my birthday, I can present some alternatives. And keep your ears pricked throughout the year for any clues, eg people saying things like "I could really do with ... " or "I'd love one of those ..." All that said it's still an expense I could xo without. I'm setting up a Christmas fund for next year in January. On the choccy thing - if you get s little box someone might think they're one of your "Ibdon't care about them but i need to get 'em something" list - if you buy someone a massive box they might think you think there a fatso. It doesn't help that I'm extremely anxious and tend to think negatively. Well, I don't usually give people chocolates unless I won some in a raffle unless I know of a kind they particularly like. For example, my mother loved the liqueur ones with cherries inside. If she was given any other sort, she often rewrapped them and gave them to somebody else.

Trump is another word for fart, so it could possibly be described as warm, but certainly not wholesome.

I find that asking people what they would like works very well. I have a few who claim they want nothing when asked... heaven forfend if you accede to their claims... For those people, I invariably get something that I know they like. Their favourite drink/food/toiletries etc. Unoriginal but safe.

If you feel so strongly about it, why don't you contact the child protection agencies if you're making claims of abuse from a "sickening middle aged witch"? Or he could write a book about it. Those misery childhood memoirs seem to sell very well, for some reason. (I wouldn't buy it, mind)

But not the great song 'Trapped' (yeah, I know it's a cover)

That would be funnier if she hadn't always worn them. Headscarves have been de rigueur for decades among horsy ladies of a certain age.

You clearly never knew my Nan who used to think that when her dog tried to bite us it was because we were annoying it by being children. That's the kind of Nan I would be.

Sad news, a great character actress who did a lot more than soap.

They'll be in the 4th round draw before they get to the ground! They'll have to use all their subs though.... Brilliant

Shame you never mastered spelling..... He's an artist as well though.
