<t>Well, seeing as I only actually 'know' two people on FG (as in they live near me and have met them often) I don't really consider the ethnicity of other members. I tend to experience them in terms of thoughts, feelings and sentiment. Me? Well, as you didn't have a 'pale blue' category,...

Yes absolutely - I choose my friends carefully.

Yes - I'm passionately protective and fiercely loyal.

Yes - I now refer you back to my first answer.

Nah, we're defo for real! If we were cyborgs etc, we'd have purpose and no time to post 'feelings squibble' on here!

<t>I agree that they have done the right thing too. It's not that they've just got rid of it, more updated it with a generic all encompasing anti-bullying campaign. there is also the fact that drawing attention to gay bullying specifically may in fact alienate them further, or highlight d...

Golden syrup - on a spoon......just on it's own, not sullied by pancakes or ice cream.

Also..... cake mixture...uncooked.

Have someone 3 grades higher than me delegating all their work to me because they can't get their head around the system we're using!!! Feel like I'm fighting a battle for quality every day!!!

He takes me to Sri Lanka and the Maldives for my birthday, and whilst there has sapphires set in white gold to my design.

Oh, and just so you know it's not all about the money - he also writes and records music just for me

Elvira

Spend hours scouring the www, to source 24k gold guitar strings?

If I'm honest, he does a lot more for me! :wah:

Stunning story - La Tour Eiffel is one of the most romantic places. particularly when it's all lit up with sparkling lights at night time.

<t>This is a great image Pinky, with some lovely depth and texture to it. I like the fact that you have got some strong lines in it, which is difficult to do with graphite. Actually, I've just started sketching again myself and have a painting planned. I don't usually post my art on here,...
