bridge too far

Did anyone see the programme on BBC last night about pedigree dogs and the dreadful suffering some of them are subjected to in the name of Crufts? I'm not a dog owner (although we've had a couple of mutts in the past) but I found the whole in-breeding and the putting down of puppies because they don't meet certain criteria immensely upsetting.

Good call! We'd be bound to win a gold at that, being a nation of 'large' people. Why have volleyball AND beach volleyball?

OK point taken. You actually said 'well it's hardly ruining a kid's life' referring to 15 year old girls. I read this to mean that it's wrong if the children are 10 or 11 (as was the case with GG) but not so wrong if they are 15. My misunderstanding.

Greco-Roman wrestling FFS. According to Radio 5, it's very homo-erotic (cue furtive googling of Greco-Roman wrestling )

I think that any child (girl or boy) forced into the sex trade, whether by poverty or by family, has had their life ruined. To say that somehow it's OK if they're 15 is just plain wrong. No person, of any age, should be forced into sex.

I crack the whip in our house :oops: :shock: Anyway, back on topic......

The sad truth is I lack self-discipline. I know it's wrong, but............

I remember last summer - late May. I had to go on holiday when the PA stuff was all kicking off. Came back to work and nothing had happened. I'm off on holiday at the weekend. What's the betting still nothing will have happened? I dread to think how many accumulated WEEKS I've spent on here instead of working

I don't think she even forgot to be tested. What she did forget was to let the drug testers know where she was sometimes.

Because we have the best systems for monitoring paedophiles apparently. I'd rather he was here and being monitored (and let's face it, someone as high profile as him is going to be monitored round the clock) than have him hop abroad again where he won't be monitored and will be free to ruin another child's life.

I haven't really spotted any drop dead gorgeous British Olympic male medal winners. Any ideas, guys and gals? Photos would be appreciated.

I don't think he CAN be locked up when he lands in the UK. He hasn't been convicted of any crime here that he hasn't already served a sentence for. I do think that he will be hounded by the media for the rest of his life and I think the government is going to try to deny him the freedom to travel abroad again, mainly because he would possibly travel back to countries that don't have the sort of controls of sex offenders that we have here. I hope the rest of his life is miserable.

Yeah, he does have a thing about me

I've never ever found iced coffee to match Greek iced coffee.

No, no - not concerned for myself I just wondered, if the males carry the virus, a) where do they get it from and b) does it affect them? Like I said, genuine question - not trying to score points (for a change )

Genuine question - does that mean males carry the virus but are not affected by it :confused:

Luckily for you, probably, some women probably don't.

Well - the last time I went to the Dell, I was about 8 so I can't see how the description fits, can you? And the only time I've spoken to Chris Nicholls was at a private function when we had a good harmless flirt

Cheers LS - now you can see why I have him on 'ignore'. Only the best (****heads) go on my ignore list.

OIC now. That IS funny

What did he say? I have him on 'ignore'.

Way to go LS

St Marco - don't forget that most companies going into administration don't get points deducted We will because there won't be enough money to pay off the Inland Revenue - that's what's happened with Bournemouth, Leeds, Luton etc. etc. It's a personal view but I seriously believe that, if a company has gone into administration, the incumbent directors should be barred from being involved in that company if, like a phoenix, it rises from the ashes.
