I have a general gripe about the way Amazon treats their clients. a few weeks ago I ordered Mario Kart for Wii (release date tomorrow) and used supersaver for delivery. There is no other item in the order (important point) If I had elected to pay delivery charges they would have dispatched it today for delivey tomorrow (the release date) Yet by selecting supersaver, (and I accept the fact that there will be a 2-4 day delay in post as a result) they have decided to send it out next Monday (3 days after release date) Why is it that selecting one option gets it processed quicker then another ? surely the work they do is the same at their end, the stock is the same, and the packet it goes in is the same, the only difference I can see is postal method selected Has anyone else been hard done by Amazon and felt second class, or am I all alone on this score...

best so far "This will really please your girlfriend" Forwarded it on to her - unopened - and it less then pleased her... apparently it made all sorts of warning bells go of on her works firewall.... whoever sent it to me was a liar....

(full clotted cream too none of this wimpy whipped shite !!) Strange one now Film - my dear old mother (bless her Jordie roots) still says fiLem

SCONES ?? now there is a word to debate, and to top it - Cream first or Jam first ?

No - Not a remake of the old 60's classic Goodbye Mr Chips (although the title does have a link) Sadly Mays Newsagents (44 Barry Road) shut their doors over the weekend as Mr and Mrs Patel have decided to retire and enjoy life for a bit. No more potato Chips (hence the title link) and I would just like to wish them both well and a happy retirement. If you are concerned where to get your Newspapers, bus pass, oyster tickets or potato chips now? Barry's off license has taken over all of the above (but how heartless of you to ask rather then wishing Mr Patel well... shame on you (6))

I am sure that this has been done before but I love the video at the end ... Date Rape Drug (be sure to click on and watch the video at the end) Police are warning all men who frequent clubs, parties & local pubs to be alert and stay cautious when offered a drink from any woman. Many females use a date rape drug on the market called 'Beer'. The drug is found in liquid form and is available anywhere. It comes bottles, cans, or from taps and in large kegs. Beer is used by female sexual predators at parties and bars to persuade their male victims to go home and sleep with them. A woman needs only to get a guy to consume a few units of Beer and then simply ask him home for no strings attached sex. Men are rendered helpless against this approach. After several beers, men will often succumb to the desires to sleep with horrific looking women whom they would never normally be attracted. After drinking beer, men often awaken with only hazy memories of exactly what happened to them the night before, often with just a vague feeling that 'something bad' occurred. At other times these unfortunate men are swindled out of their life's savings, in a familiar scam known as 'a relationship'. In extreme cases, the female may even be shrewd enough to entrap the unsuspecting male into a longer term form of servitude and punishment referred to as 'marriage'. Men are much more susceptible to this scam after beer is administered and sex is offered by the predatory females. Please! warn every male you know. If you fall victim to this 'Beer' scam and the women administering it, there are male support groups where you can discuss the details of your shocking encounter with similarly victimized men. For the support group nearest you, just look up 'Golf Courses' in the phone book. For a video to see how beer works http://www.brackenspub.com/beer.swf

ME ?

Come on ladies play the game yes choose from your lists but as their FICTIONAL character and not themselves. It makes a difference in terms of do you choose them or not... for example Mr Day-Lewis - as a person maybe but as the role he played in There Will Be Blood... I expect not... get the drift of the game now ? And Lizzie, you are now excused from the naughty step in the corner of the room but don't let it happen again otherwise you will lose your free milk privilages !!! Chav - what can I say... Lizzie has shown the way to the naughty step....

Hey lizzie I don't think your list is justified, they are real people and not fictional people.... now if you modified your list to show a fictional character they have played then you may well be in with a chance of suggesting some of them for example Replace Johnny Depp with Capt Jack Sparrow or Edward Scissorhand Replace George with a character he played (oh dear my mind has gone blank now) and so on.... Then you maybe allowed to play in this discussion sand pit ... :))

Annasfield Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Boo!!! Why? To counter claims that the ladies list had more choice then the mens one - No other reason

True but I have added some more to the men's one to counter that claim !!!

Ohh I have placed a counter thread for women, and as such I am now changing the list for the men (slightly) Simple question, given the choices below, who would you most like take out in a date if they were a real life person (or alive today) and also include your reason why ? a) Grace (from will and grace) b) Ros (from Frasier) c) Wilma (from the Flintstones) d) Rose Tyler (from Dr Who) e) Sarah Jane (Also from Dr Who - old school days) f) Trisha Yates (ahh the old days of Grange Hill) g) Mary (as in virgin) h) Mary (as in something about) i) Amanda (from Ugly Betty) j) Betty (also From Ugly Betty) k) Pussy (as in Galore) No other choices allowed (although I bet someone decides different) Now let's see if Ros is still top dog (pardon my use fo the phrase here) :-$

Okay, I have been told off for limiting the past post to men over 30, so to counter balance it here is a version for ladies After much thought I have come up with a survey for all of the women on the forum who are over 30 (and the age is key to the choices, but I suspect that younger women may also want to vote on this) Simple question, given the choices below, who would you most like to be taken out on a date by if they were a real life person (or alive today) and also include your reason why ? a) DCI Gene Hunt b) Fraiser c) Fred Fintstone d) Dr Who (any incarnation but state which) e) Alan Sugar (slight bending of the rules here) f) Tucker Jenkins (ahh the old days of Grange Hill but pre deadenders) g) Jesus or one of the other 12 fellas (again state which) h) Jack Bauer i) inspector Clouseau (there is a minky with a berm) j) Superman k) Daniel Mead (mode !!!) l) Ethan Hunt (you know played by that short fella who had everyone on hello) m) James Bond (any incarnation) No other choices allowed (although I bet someone decides different)
