Unfortunately racism is now here to stay. It is because the human race is so intolerant with people who are from different cultures and countries.

G#Gill

<t>Oh Lars, I'm sorry to hear about Pitstop. It is a fact that they do become family members and we feel that loosing them is like loosing a brother or sister or parent. Folk who have never had the joy of having such a companion, may not understand how pet owners feel about that. As Anne says (HI An...

Well at least nobody's boring folk with talk of the flamin' BREXIT.

I never watched this show. Maybe if it comes round again, I might.

G#Gill

<t>Had anybody thought of digging around the base, particularly the front part, to just see how tall it actually is. The Easter Island Moai statues come to mind, when they dug down below the heads to find huge bodies ! Maybe a contact with the "Time Team" in the UK could make suggestions (useful one...

I missed Christmas wishes to everybody, on here, and I'm sorry about that. However I do hope everybody had a good one, and I wish you all an agreeable and healthy NEW YEAR ! 'Ere, still can't flippin' use me smileys. So wotz gwin on ?

Hi Lyn, long time no read ! Enjoy Forum Garden, with loads of different threads and a good arcade !

G#Gill

<t>Oh dear, this thread has become just a tad miserable innit? I shall change the subject forthwith. Today I went to a get-together with my hubby, to have a good old chinwag about his childhood/youth/young adulthood with his surviving peers from his Sea Scout days. There are still quite ...

G#Gill

<t>I would NEVER call for the return of the cat-o-nine-tails. That is so barbaric. I'll also thank you to not suggest that I am psychopathic. All I said was that corporal punishment should be brought back, namely the birch and the cane, and under strict supervision and that includes a doctor. As it ...

G#Gill

<t>Words are not enough to say how sorry I am that dear Bruv isn't here any more. What a lovely way to go though. But such a shock to his family he has left behind. I did so admire that lovely man. He always had important things to say and opinions to offer, and because of his natural fri...

But, BB, it just isn't the same is it ? Oh well, we'll just have to be patient.

G#Gill

<t>That's the trouble really. Far to many people are being far too lenient with all this nastiness rearing it's ugly head. These youngsters know that they will not be dealt with too harshly. Don't you think it's time to say enough is enough ? The 'soft' touch has been tried and failed dreadfully. Th...

G#Gill

<t>I find it very depressing reading our local paper these days. There's a knifing just about every day now, and there doesn't seem to be an answer. If it was left to me I would bring back the birch straight away for people over 16 years old and the cane for 9 - 15 yrs inclusive. It is quite an 'off...

G#Gill

<t>Well it looks as if the Autumn is well and truly established. Temps are falling, nights are drawing in, and the clocks in the UK will be going back 1 hour this Sunday. I wish that it would stay at GMT. There is no need for 'daylight saving' these days. The deciduous trees are busy dro...

It has been doing this for a few days now with the occasional heavy rain shower. However the temperature is fairly warm, so it isn't too bad...

<t>Well we've been informed that we could have an 'Indian Summer' where temps are more like summer temps for a short while in the Autumn. I just hope they are not in the 90's again like in our Summer this year ! Makes you wonder what the Winter will bring. Very low temps for weeks ? Sort of Arctic t...

G#Gill

<t>In middle England, the temps are into the 90's on many days, high 80's the rest. Humidity is high but not sure how high (I meant to check), basically the temp is higher than normal for the time of year by about 5f or 6f. It is the global warming, so the deniers can sod off ! Greenpeace have been ...
