I so need to see a picture of undercover shrimp preparing for ambush, the thought just makes me giggle.

The Ice Mantis Shrimp is a particularly stealthy little bastard. It waits quietly, inconspicuously, cunningly disguised and with malicious intent for its unsuspecting victim to wander by...

Being a rock chick at heart I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but I have a happy house techno remix stuck in my head :shock: :shock:
it's Groove Coverage vs. Alice Cooper (think 'Poison' restyled into a fast bouncy rave track with the vocals by a female lol) Not sure if it's in the charts (dont keep up to date with these things rolleyes

but a friend came back from Ibiza with the CD and I 'borrowed' it!
I usually hate it when classics get covered/messed with, but this one is definately my 'chewn' of the moment....innit! :happy: :thrilled: :happy:

hat off to you SF for having the bollocks to apologise :giveup:
I think we are all entitled to individual oppinion and yours is obviously a strong one
albeit somewhat misguided and misinformed and wholly innapropriate on a forum within a community where sexuality, acceptance and orientation is so diverse......but an individual oppinion non the less.
So, anal is not for you - that's your perogative and personal choice....it was your strong 'reulsive and disgusting' wording which offended people, and subsequent 'not a real man' statement which really got people's backs up .....but an apology is an apology.
Maybe swinging and the essence of openness which is part of it is just not the right scene for you....or Perhaps SH and the people within it will open your eyes and mind a little more and your attitude, if not personal oppinion, will alter smile

the anger management is a totally different ball game though wink

Thanks for the ideas ebay sounds good or jewlery

I dunno if its just me, but I like to pick my own jewellery - plenty of brand new or vintage/second hand on ebay, will give her plenty of choice, with probably a little left over to get something for the baby/older child too biggrin

even setting up the ebay account could be part of the present (if not already got one)- your sis might appreciate the bargains once the baby arrives!

relaxing weekend away?? offer to babysit and have the little one for the weekend, pack her off to a lovely little hotel for the night, complete with pamper/spa package.
:idea: alternatively, offer yourself as child-sitter, take the child out for the day while mum gets some space to herself to shop, mooch around or have lunch with friends...maybe a manicure/facial/new hair doo??? and if there's any change left, fill her bathroom with some gorgeously smelly bath stuff from Lush, chill her a bottle of non-alcoholic wine and wish her a very relaxing happy birthday! biggrin

Quote by Happy Cats
Dont tell them youre engaged!

probably more 'scenario' questions then...what would you do if......how would you handle this...... check the company's policy if you can, and really impress them with your 'way things are done' insider knowledge! Failing that, stay calm, admit you're nervous if necessary - speak clearly and fluently as you would when dealing with a potential customer.........and know what it is you're gonna be selling/promoting.

don't be afraid to ask about the hours/pay/holidays & benefits etc. they may ask you why you should get the job so have a good answer

I wouldnt advise asking about holidays and benefits in your first interview to be honest - you're selling yourself to them, not looking for what you can get out of it... You can always call and ask later. What is it that you can offer their company??? If you're the sort of person who could sell snow to Eskimo's, say so! but be prepared to back your statement up with an example!
Best of luck anyway luv , finger crossed for you! kiss

ooo job interviews :small-print:
read and re-read your application form, and the job spec/person spec if you have one - the interview questions are usually based on those as they're matching you to the criteria...cover your bases, have something to say on each point - and make sure you understand equal opportunties policy and what it will mean for your job.
what is it you're going for anyway?
*and breathe* biggrin

A person stops being a newby in my eyes after their second post.
However, when they stop being a newby in their own eyes, is a totally different thing!

Quote by Serendipity
When you stop feeling like a newbie I'd say, which varies for each person depending on how comfortable they feel in the forum and/or how much they participate

Nice idea.
But - Newbie status is also kinda desginated by the other users of SH (whether they be other newbies or forum regulars/experienced swingers) and I feel that it's when THEY decide you've participated in 'SH' sufficiently to not be Newbie anymore! - which does entail regular posting on the forum, which does include 'getting yourself known' (and going to munch(es)) and generally playing an active part in SH.
Maybe there should be an option 6 - You are no longer newbie when you dont get baited, when people dont hijack your threads, when you can post without being jumped on and you know enough people from here to get to a munch and not walk in with that flashing neon Newbie hat on ??? wink
