Didn't Rotherham give us Jeremy Clarkson? And then made up for it with the chucle brothers!

Be even better if all of the exhibits worked. up to half of them were duff when I went earlier this year.

A large chunk of that parkway is in rotherham! (Hence the resurfacing stopping at Catcliffe) So does that mean you're mad too?

Could you be a little more vague please? And perhaps more coy too?

I like 'free' and 'accessable' (combined with a retail ban). Just think how much money the council would save by not having to repair the damage to public property. Quids in.

Waitrose has been dragged into the John Lewis rebranding exercise and is now just as green and sports the same diagonal stripes. At least the Peterborough branch is. Can't see them opening a new one in the old colours. Will they still have the hand scanners? I know some other branches of w'rose have them.

Think the dog had a pet person. It even taught your friend tricks. 'Growl' is obviously the command for 'fetch chicken'. Do I sound like I disapprove? It's dogs with owners who have no idea what goes on on planet dog, that wind up being rehomed or terminated for the 'bad' behavior their dim owner has unwittingly taught them. Just got my dog back from the vets after a four day stop over. He's been growling at EVERYthing. The nurses were really nice, but I think he got too big for his boots whilst he was there, and I've had to re-train him.

Film? No. Dick Wittington at the Liverpool Empire in the seventies left a lasting impression though. Cilla Black is probably responsible for my boots 'thing'. Or maybe I should have discosed this info under the 'collectables' posting

Most newspaper horoscopes are duff 'coz you're supposed to read your ascendant sign, but everybody reads their sunsign, which will be way off beam. My ascendant is Gemini. Early this year I was informed of my career prospects being rosy. Great. I'm a student and a home maker. No chance of that coming true then. Some weeks later I recieved a phone call from a previous employer from 5 years ago. 'We're desparate. Can you help us out for a few days?' They were desparate enough to pay twice the normal rate, and hotel bills! They've since put loads more work my way!

BODY RUNES, DARNALL ? Every time I drive past I promise myself to visit someday, but I always seem to be going THRU Darnall. What exciting things do you have there?

Majerison? I liked your for the first 2 weeks when you hosted lively balanced debates. The pit of sh*t stirring, ego stroking it has turned into is shameful. So you don't debate things for a living. Fact. You abuse the eejits from adjacent stones for a living now. ~Oh, and 'I think...' doesn't constitute evidence. I live in a non-student area and car damage and toppled bins happen at chucking out time here too. Evidence. And how low can you go? Name calling? That's just childish.

How about scrambling an armed response helicopter?

Hang on. The IRA used to do something similar - knee capping. Perhaps I'll re-think that one.

Good innit? You'd only have to lose one to think better next time! In fact, most people would be wary if they knew somebody who had been punished this way. And you'd be able to spot a criminal quite easily!

Isn't there a 'conspiracy to cause an explosion' offence? Can't the blighters be walloped with that when they're caught?

Perhaps they should be sold pre-ignited, and shoved down a throat? Does any body have any sensible solutions that CAN be implemeted? I'm still for the retail ban. You're right tho, the little sods will find something else to do. I'm also in favour of axing off thumbs. Ever tried to hotwire a car with no thumbs? And there was me trying to appear all reasonable. I think I've blown it.

Or perhaps we could apply a tax to them that covers the cost of the damage caused each year. How much does a phone box cost? Where's my calculator? Well that's about £7,485.23 per firework for non-pyro' licencees. Does that solve the problem?

Hmm, are you a PVC fan then? Were these the early symptoms?

See? Only works if you both want the same thing. I love my dog, but I wouldn't have sex with him. We both love mountain walking though!

I'm still flabbergasted that we sell gunpowder to the general public at all. Surely the solution is to sell only to people with pyrotechnic licences. They're the ones that put on the organised displays with proper safety measures taken. Given the proportion of fireworks sold to the public that are only used for their explosive value (probably over half), is this not just common sense? You're supposed to have a licence for a gun, but these things can make far more mess of another human being. And they self destruct the evidence.

If you don't, how do you know you're not in lust? That wasn't supposed to sound so prudish. I have always maintained that sex only works when both people want the same thing. Find some limpet who wants a relationship when you're looking for something less complicated and you'd better hide the rabbit and the saucepans. And why do women use love as an excuse to behave in a fashion they themselves would disapprove of if it didn't have LOVE branded across it? I have to admit FetishFairy sounds like a well rounded sort of nymph.

I saw a psychic show in doncaster years ago. The guy started off with 'andrew/andy wants to contact somebody' then mentioned a car he shouldn't have been in, and his age. I didn't raise my hand because although this described my best friend who died in scotland, I had read in the paper about '19 year old andrew' in rossington, too. By the time he had finished embellishing and flannelling we had a 21 year old called John who had belonged to the family at the front. The wierd thing is two weeks before andrew's death, he had his palm read. Only by a friend who was just starting to learn, but she told him he had a really short life line. Last year we were driving down the A1 when I had a really panicky feeling that something had happened to somebody close. As soon as tried to 'feel' more information, whilst scrolling thru my phone book for hints, I drew a blank, but the feeling of helplessness swamped me. My sister should have arrived at our destination around the same time, but we got a phone call from her to say she was stuck backwards up an embankment with her car beached on a tree. It had taken her over an hour to gather her wits before she made the call. There's a lot of cranks out there, but there's a lot of things we dont understand as well as our pre-christian ancestors did. You only need to look at the discoveries we're making in medecine now, by examining some of the quack remedies of the past, to know that 'witchcraft' had substance. And horoscopes? the 'A' level physics answer: gravity + electricity = force. The moon's gravitational pull exerts a force on earth as proved by the tides. Your brain works on electric pulses. There is a resultant force - so what does it do?

or even OUR nickname for him

I was just composing my 'I keep my food and my dog separate for a good reason' answer when I read about the american chicken. Beagles DO have a reputation. Whilst visiting relatives, mine was discovered standing on the inside of the dishwasher door, licking a beef flavoured frying pan. His favourite food is garlic bread, having stolen the last piece from the coffee table when only weeks old. And if you don't share your sandwich (or hide from him), your feet get wet...drool,dribble,drool. Oh, and he travels in a cage, coz he likes the taste of upholstery too. Appetite for Destruction! is out nickname for him.
