In some parts of the world its dangerous to leave your home, a good friend went to Brazil for work last year. in the evening he got dressed up and was about to leave the hotel and was stopped by the doorman, apparently if he went out of the hotel on foot he would be abducted and his family would be...
the first Capri's off the line Tut tut! :lol: Andrew. Oh I was well aware :D But there is a rule whereby a word may not appear correct or become changed without extra punctuation. So, it could become Capriss, rhymes with kiss. See? That's why, you will note, I usually add the apostrophe :) See me a...
On the subject of train safety, I'm fascinated by these street running trains that run in some of America's small towns. I would imagine that the H&S police in the UK would have a fit with massive freight trains mixing with traffic and pedestrians on the public highway! :lol: BRZkMoi2at8 Andrew...
To feel safe as I live on my own I have a cricket bat under my bed. The bastards would be knocked out of the ground if I could get up quick enough.

Today it's bits from here, computers from there, shared bodies, ...
..it's getting more and more common to hear this phrase. "Women don't feel safe walking through a city at night", for instance. Telling people they should "feel safe" is some of the worst advice society gives out. There is a huge difference between "feeling" safe and ac...
I wonder how the members would feel if/when they pop back though and see that they're being talked about? :? Same way you and I will feel when somebody dredges up one of our posts... there are a few (most to be honest!) I've made 10-15 years ago that are so cringe to me now.... I could delete them,...
Today's winner should have gone a lot further than it did, I remember that thread, but I don't remember the colossal levels of utter tripe that the birthday boy contributed to it, nor "the owner" (yeah right) of that stolen Capri chastising us for not dobbing in this Simon Cox guy to the c...
