i like guys who are probably a bit on the feminine side as friends - these guys are much easier to talk to....
.....but in the bedroom dept i like to be bossed.... him chief, me indian lol
and no i don't usually kick em in the nuts, but a few have deserved it!

Have you read The Mabinogin?

While it is true that the Welsh are a dodgy* lot :zoinks: The Mabinogin is worth reading IMO. The translation by Lady Charlotte Guest is considered the best.

I was specifically referring to dodgy. Even your newscasters use that one. :thumbup: When I googled your home town all I got was fucking Amityville. :thumbdn: The Amityville Horror was a huge fraud, Ronald DeFeo was not possessed, he was a crank using scumbag.

LMAO my hometown is 'longbridge' - you need to google 'shit rover cars' or maybe 'scumsville' as its also called. As for newscasters talking dodgy, you cant possibly be referring to the BBC
-
I recall a newscaster using the term as related to holiday shopping. I don't know which network it was on, I am not familiar with your networks. The hotel tv only received 4 or 5 channels that had anything wort watching. Sort of like me having 200 channels and most of them suck.

It's a quote from the 'Blackadder' tv series 'Blackadder goes forth' with Rowan Atkinson - you probably never heard of it depending where you are in the world, i just thought it was funny!

No, those are pectoral muscles, operative word being muscles. Boobs are for playing with and producing milk for babies. Muscles are for lifting, applying torque, hitting etc.

to be honest i don't find mr bean that funny. He has a funny face but doesn't say much. I like words, that's what makes me laugh, if someone is clever with their words. Blackadder is a master with words and therefore he is my favourite! :thumbup:

Dogs or cats? Which is more natural for you to bond with?
Owned both. Bonded with both. Dogs have always been a major for me. Work show and breed American Bulldogs with my brother. Only had a couple of cats - wouldn't be fair to have one now as i am overun by dogs.
More admiration for cats really, they don't really need us at all do they? I mean they are very independent. If a cat owner dies and no one knows usually the cat will have the nouse to go get food, if a dog owner dies well that dog is in the shit till help arrives. Took in a stray once, started to think of it as my own, well it came for two meals a day - then i found out half the street was feeding it also. lol
Love most animals. Just spiders i can't stand.

Commentaries, mostly. And the episodes are all supposed to be restored. The pilot is missing, though.

Theres a joke about dying and other people finding your cats been eating you(this part could only have happened on my head since it doesnt seem to fit) and thinking of you as a crazy cat lady on Sex and the city(my sisters and I take turns deciding what to watch on tv and they play the same season over and over).
Anyways why did you decide to join here?.

Sorry Jack. Yes missed in the drama. I will change it back to bodaccea probably
very soon. Call me whatever you want. Noticed folks saying Bod, Bodie etc. Since

Sorry eris. Missed this too. I love to read, i read all sorts. Have fads. I went through
a phase on biographies and autobiographies. Not long back it was history. I will read some history and then go onto something else - maybe fantasy Terry Pratchett, Tad Williams etc then i will go back to history. I am in the tudor period at the moment. Henry VIII and his wives - i love to read how different life was in a past period of history. I am going to skip forward to the seventies after Henry. I need to read John Lydon's book again about when punk first kicked off in UK. God Save the Queen was actually number one on the day of the Queens silver jubilee but was banned on radio and TOTP, only just found this out so i need to read about 1976/1977.
I also love poetry. Always have since little girl. I am always making up little limericks in my head about people. I f i am talking to someone i miss what they say at times as i will be busy thinking of something that rhymes with what they just said! or with their name.
I have only written a diary, well no i wouldn't call it diary - more of a journal. Not every day. I only write in it with a fountain pen and it is very private. I have written limericks for squid and cbc on here - will find them and post later. Gonna get one written for all of you one day, lol
If i didn't have the urchin i would devote my time to reading more, and crossword puzzles! Very boring i am.

Anyway, back to my 'thing' with 'words'
I seem to spend a lot of time analysing (my spell check tells me that is correct OK so nothing to do with :anal: at all) words said to me. I have realised that it is so important to get the correct meaning of what is being said to you.
When i was eleven my older sister died. I remember the day so well. I can recall hearing my Mother say "We have lost the best one Stan" to my Dad (i wanted to call my boy Stan b.t.w and everyone laughed) Now those words "we have lost the best one" could have had a few different meanings. I had 1 sister and 2 brothers. It could have meant 'we have lost the best child' which if i had taken it that way i would have had my two brothers included. I didn't take it like that but rather 'we have lost the best daughter' - which meant i felt like i was on my own. Yeah i was butt hurt. Those words were etched on my mind for the next ten years.
My sister was nine years older than me and had done extremely well with her studies. The golden girl. I took offence when told 'to be like Linda'.
This is where consequences of my misinterpretation occurred. I did everything possible to NOT be like Linda. I was in the top stream at school and in my first year of senior school i had the second top exam results in my year. After my sister died i didn't bother even turning up for exams. I was in the pub at 13 years old. I turned bad. (for a while ) Wagging school. older boyfriends etc.
I used to go to bed every night thinking my Mum wished i had died and not my sister.
Of course, what she meant by it was ... nothing. NOTHING. I was in my twenties before i even mentioned what she had said. She was shocked. certainly didn't mean it and didn't even recall saying it. She had just lost her daughter and it was the grief talking.
How about that for an epic FAIL on my part? It cost me dearly. Those years i spent being a butt hurt stupid twat in rebellion. I managed to sit some of the exams i had missed. Well i passed Art and passed a couple of English exams without doing any coursework! I went to night school in my twenties after work and got an 'A' level in Business Studies and an 'A' level in Psychology but i never really clawed back to where i could have been.
I have always been aware how easy it is to misinterpret words. :blah: :blah: :blah:

No way
i don't want no callouts. anyone can ask me anything or question what

anyway i have a phobia about callouts. i self diagnosed it :zoinks:
If you are going to self diagnose yourself with anything at least do it properly :LOL:.
Diagnose yourself with this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberchondria (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberchondria)
Cyberchondria (or cyberchondriasis) refers to the unfounded escalation of concerns about common symptomology based on review of search results and literature online.
Cant beat that.
Sorry to hear about your sister and how it affected you.

i don't want no callouts. anyone can ask me anything or question what
i say but no, don't think i would be any good in a callout.
anyway i have a phobia about callouts. i self diagnosed it :zoinks:
If you are going to self diagnose yourself with anything at least do it properly :LOL:.
Diagnose yourself with this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberchondria (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberchondria)
Cyberchondria (or cyberchondriasis) refers to the unfounded escalation of concerns about common symptomology based on review of search results and literature online.
Cant beat that.
Sorry to hear about your sister and how it affected you.
Hey i am a cyberchondriac - that is awesome!
yeah cheers - my own fault though really! No one made me do bad things - unless
you can count fb, but that was years later!

I can relate to what you thought about your sister. I remember when I was a young adult, asking my Mom if she loved me. "I love you because I have to. I love your Dad because I want to." Loving me is a duty and loving my Dad (who wasn't in the conversation) is something better?

Anyway, back to my 'thing' with 'words'
I seem to spend a lot of time analysing (my spell check tells me that is correct OK so nothing to do with :anal: at all) words said to me. I have realised that it is so important to get the correct meaning of what is being said to you.
When i was eleven my older sister died. I remember the day so well. I can recall hearing my Mother say "We have lost the best one Stan" to my Dad (i wanted to call my boy Stan b.t.w and everyone laughed) Now those words "we have lost the best one" could have had a few different meanings. I had 1 sister and 2 brothers. It could have meant 'we have lost the best child' which if i had taken it that way i would have had my two brothers included. I didn't take it like that but rather 'we have lost the best daughter' - which meant i felt like i was on my own. Yeah i was butt hurt. Those words were etched on my mind for the next ten years.
My sister was nine years older than me and had done extremely well with her studies. The golden girl. I took offence when told 'to be like Linda'.
This is where consequences of my misinterpretation occurred. I did everything possible to NOT be like Linda. I was in the top stream at school and in my first year of senior school i had the second top exam results in my year. After my sister died i didn't bother even turning up for exams. I was in the pub at 13 years old. I turned bad. (for a while ) Wagging school. older boyfriends etc.
I used to go to bed every night thinking my Mum wished i had died and not my sister.
Of course, what she meant by it was ... nothing. NOTHING. I was in my twenties before i even mentioned what she had said. She was shocked. certainly didn't mean it and didn't even recall saying it. She had just lost her daughter and it was the grief talking.
How about that for an epic FAIL on my part? It cost me dearly. Those years i spent being a butt hurt stupid twat in rebellion. I managed to sit some of the exams i had missed. Well i passed Art and passed a couple of English exams without doing any coursework! I went to night school in my twenties after work and got an 'A' level in Business Studies and an 'A' level in Psychology but i never really clawed back to where i could have been.
I have always been aware how easy it is to misinterpret words. :blah: :blah: :blah:
:hug:
I'm so sorry that you lost your sister and that it affected you so badly.

Thanks folks! I think i would have been rebellious any way - years later my Sargent in the army (only lasted 10 months) said to me "you have a natural aversion to authority"
So it was on the cards anyway and i probably used it in my head as a bit of an excuse.
In trying to take something good from a bad event, i have decided that it has made me a better person as i don't write people off as 'bad' as quick as some might, and i am very very patient with teenagers. It is a tuff time.
It is interesting to me just how big consequences can be from misinterpreting someones words.
This is a true story about a man with learning difficulties called Derek Bentley. He was born in 1934 and in 1938 fell over fifteen feet hitting his head on the pavement. This caused him to suffer epilepsy. His house was also bombed during the war causing him some further head injuries.
He fared badly in school and got into trouble. He failed his 'eleven plus' and ended up in a borstal type school. In February 1952, Bentley underwent a medical examination for National Service, where was judged "mentally substandard" and unfit for military service.
He became involved in some petty crimes, aged 18 years old after becoming involved with a 'Christopher Craig' who was two years younger than Bentley.
One night police attended a burglary at a warehouse. Bentley was quickly detained, but Craig used a sawn off shotgun and one officer was injured and one was killed. Although Bentley fired at no one he was charged with murder along with Craig. Craig was only 16 and did not face the gallows. However, Bentley, who had the reading age of a four year old was hanged for murder! Much controversy surrounds his case which was built by the prosecution around Bentley's words at the crime scene. He was already detained by one officer and was watching the police trying to arrest Craig. He shouted "Let him have it, Chris". Basically that is why the jury found him guilty and sentenced to death.
LET HIM HAVE IT! The prosecution convinced the jury Bentley's words were to insight Craig to fire. It has always been argued that his words were meant to mean 'let him have the gun'.
Now that is unbelievable. Such huge consequences for just one sentence that was a bit ambiguous.
Yes, eventually in 1993 Bentley was granted a 'royal pardon' and later his conviction for murder was quashed at the court of appeal. Considering they had hung him in 1953, and his family (campaigned his innocence) had all died in the early nineties, his royal pardon was about as much use as a monk with a stiffy!
Not proud to be British sometimes :thumbdn:
