How silly!

That's quarter of the price of a house!

Or a VERY posh car.

Or my salary for 2 1/4 years.

Joe

Lemonade, & before that some polos.

Oh, & by the way, I've not been here for a long time, but I'm back.

Hiya anyone that remembers me.

<t>Interesting to see the members who post here. I thought the second one was better than the first because the names didn't go right over the faces so much in the second one. It's nice to be able to see the faces and the names at the same time. If the names are going to be in...

Jimbo, I remember not long back you saying you were leaving FG. But you came back. Maybe Pheasy will come back too, maybe she just has something important she needs to do right now.

Joe

<t>Thankyou for that post, DedGlitter. I'm having trouble with my doctor at the moment, I'm suffering from something called 'frozen shoulder', & it's affecting not only what I can do with the affected arm, but maybe more importantly to me, the quality of my sleep, something that affects everythi...

<t>I'm in two minds about this action. Why did they need to broadcast it?

<t>Watch out for the ferocious dunny spider (dunny, right word?, Australian outside toilet). Apparently they lurk in the bowl & bite your bum, then you get very ill & may die. Well that's the shock horror rumour, but it's probably just scaremongering, I shouldn't worry too much, I mean Austr...

<t>Hello there. Might it be that you feel your life is somewhat dull? Maybe you drink to lower inhibitions, then feel able do do stuff you wouldn't do normally, which brings some excitement into it? But then when sobriety returns you question the value of that excitement.</t>

Joe

I think the standard 3 wishes would be good enough for me. That's health, wealth & happiness.

Trying to make all males homosexual is as ridiculous as trying to convert naturally occuring homosexuals to hetrosexual. This is a daft idea, but presented in a humourous way.

Welcome to FG.

Very clever. I've seen this before.

<t>Santa as a magical person is fake (I prefer the word 'imaginary'), but the whole point of Christmas is the IDEA of it. The idea of someone like Santa can be kept alive a few years longer for your 6 year old, it's just part of the rituals & stories at Christmas time. Children love stories &...

Ten pages??? !!!!!!!! At how many posts per page? About 10?

That's a heck of a lot of posts about one person! :-2:-2:-2

Quinn asked, "Couldn’t we have improved the technology for generating stations and accomplished the same result and not even dependent on Mother Nature?"

Any suggestions for how to do this?

When I right click on forum garden posts there is no copy & paste option for me. But there is for everything else I want it for. That's why I thought forum garden may be different. Hmmmm, very odd.

Make your post & send it. Then click the back button twice. Then click refresh.

I find when I make a post & click send my post appears on it's own. I want to see it under the others on that thread. I use the method above to solve this problem too.

Thanks, Accountable.

I don't know what the song is. But I recognise the style as being very like what the Swingle Singers used to do. The Swingle Singers used to sing the works of Bach in a very similar style to the one on that clip.

You wouldn't have to put a fake address on the letter. It's simple really, just give them your email address. They can reply to that if they want to.

Â£35 000 a year JUST for school fees & a nanny.

My God, I wish I had that to live on (for everything).

I'd feel very rich with all that.

Of course they don't NEED one at 6 years old. They may WANT one, & of course the phone companies want ALL children & teenagers to have them, but that's just their commercial interest speaking.

Thanks for the information. So a black light isn't really black, the term is just a quick name for an ultra violet light? That makes sense.

Joe

<t>Some of the posts in this thread have mentioned King Herod, so I'd like to go off at a slight tangent here. Herod has been called Herod the Great in some writings (Ok, not in this thread). My question is quite simply what did Herod do to earn the title Great? He can't have...

And how do you get a black light? What exactly is a black light? How can light be black? If you shine a black light in the dark would you know the light was on?

So the water you drink may have been round before & been drunk by someone else.
