For those in the Sisterhood
1. If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it will always be yours. If it doesn't come back, it was never yours to begin with. But, if it just sits in your living room, messes up your stuff, eats your food, uses your telephone, takes your money, and doesn't appear to realise that you had set it free....... You either married it or gave birth to it.
2. Reason to smile: Every 7 minutes of every day, someone in an aerobics class pulls a hamstring.
3. They keep telling us to get in touch with our bodies. Mine isn't all that communicative but I heard from it the other day after I said, "Body, how'd you like to go to the six o'clock class in vigorous toning?" Clear as a bell my body said, "Listen fatty.... do it and die."
4. My mind not only wanders, it sometimes leaves completely.
5. The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight shoes.
6. Amazing!! You hang something in your closet for a while and it shrinks two sizes!
7. Sometimes I think I understand everything, then I regain consciousness.
8. I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are eating too much, impulse buying, and driving too fast. Are they kidding? That's my idea of a perfect day.
I look at the honoured list of all the ladies who have posted in this thread and several thoughts cross my mind:
1) If only your fathers could see you in here now they would be so proud - NOT!
2) "It worked for me so it will work for her" ought to be rethought - considering who it is you are all asking for advice - us lot!
3) I am going to be exactly the same in about 5 years and will still not heed the warnings of my own words.
4) If any of these young men knew what their girlfriends mums did you would have a snowball in hells chance of stopping them pursuing their ultimate goal - or you (shades of Mrs Robinson!)
5) I had better go before my mother catches me in here!

Dear Technical Support, I seem to be having a problem with my system….
Last year I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from Drinking Mates 4.2, which I have used for years without trouble - apart from the odd blank screen and occasional loss of memory. Apparently, however, there are conflicts between these two systems. The only solution was to try and run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned off, but to make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several of my other applications such as; Lads Night Out 3.1, Golf 2.2 and Playboy 6.0.
Successive versions of Girlfriend proved to be no better; Girlfriend 3.0 has many Bugs and left a virus in my system, forcing me to shut down for several weeks. Eventually, I tried installing Girlfriend 2.1 as well as Girlfriend 1.0 only to discover when these two systems detected each other they caused severe damage to all my hardware, and forced me to revert to my trusty Palm 5.
Sensing a way out I upgraded to Fiancé 1.0 only to discover to my dismay that this system requires rapid upgrading to Wife 1.0. This uses up all available resources and deletes FreeSpeech 2.1 automatically.
However, it does come bundled with FreeSex Plus and Cleanhouse 2004. FreeSex Plus can be useful, but is date sensitive, appearing to deny access unless unlocked via the Interflora Hyperlink or GoldCard Unlimited!
To my cost, I have discovered that not only can Wife 1.0 be unstable and costly to maintain, but also that any mistakes I make are automatically stored in Wife 1.0 Random Access Memory. This appears to be held on a special area of the hard drive and cannot be deleted. These mistakes then have an annoying habit of re-surfacing years later, usually after BogSeatUp 0.4 has been used three times in succession or LoudFart Exchange has been launched in the local shop!
Wife 1.0 also has an automatic InterDiary Explorer and E-mail Porn Filter, and automatically runs PhotoSTROP and when I least expect it. No option on the Help menu seems to work, leaving me to try to guess the fault myself.
The system needs updating regularly requiring Shoeshop Browser Pro for new attachments, and Hairstyle Express needs to be reinstalled every week. It has also refused to load my Marbella Mania and Tourguide Extreme games, stating they are illegal operations.
When Wife 1.0 attaches itself to Car 1.0, it often crashes, forgets to run Maintenance Wizard or runs the system dry. Wife 1.0 also has a rather annoying pop-up called Mother-in-Law , which can't be turned off.
Recently I have been tempted to try Mistress Millennium add-on, but there could be problems. If Wife 1.0 detects the presence of Mistress Millennium, I am told it will automatically load Solicitor for Dummies and delete all MSMoney files before un-installing itself, and becoming a virus.
Pilot Conversations
The following are exchanges between airline pilots and control towers from around the world:
While taxiing at London Gatwick, the crew of a US Air flight departing for Ft. Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 767. An irate female ground controller lashed out at the US Aircrew, screaming "US Air 2771, where the hell are you going? I told you to turn right onto Charlie taxiway! You turned right on Delta! Stop right there. I know it's difficult for you to tell the difference between C's and D's, but get it right!" Continuing her tirade to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting hysterically
"God, you've screwed everything up! It'll take forever to sort this out! You stay right there and don't move till I tell you to! You can expect progressive taxi instructions in about half an hour and I want you to go exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell you! You got that, US Air 2771?" "Yes ma'am," the humbled crew responded. Naturally the ground control frequency went terribly silent after the verbal bashing of US Air 2771. Nobody wanted to engage the irate ground controller in her current state. Tension in every cockpit at LGW was running high. Then an unknown pilot broke the silence and asked "Wasn't I married to you once?"
A DC-10 had an exceedingly long rollout after landing with his approach speed a little high. San Jose Tower: "American 751 heavy, turn right at the end of the runway, if able. If not able, take the Guadalupe exit off Highway 101, make a right at the lights and return to the airport."
Unknown aircraft: "I'm fucking bored!"
Air Traffic Control: "Last aircraft transmitting, identify yourself immediately!"
Unknown aircraft: "I said I was fucking bored, not fucking stupid!"
Tower: "Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on 124.7"
Eastern 702: "Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure. By the way, after we lifted off we are sure we saw some kind of dead animal on the far end of the runway."
Tower: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on 124.7. Did you copy that report from Eastern 702?"
Continental 635: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, roger; and yes, we copied Eastern and have already notified our caterers"
The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following exchange; between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747, call sign "Speedbird 206":
Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway."
Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven."; The BA747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.
Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?"
Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."
Ground (with arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?"
Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944 but it was dark and I didn't stop."
O'Hare Approach Control: "United 329 heavy, your traffic is a Fokker, One o'clock, three miles, eastbound."
United 239: "Approach, I've always wanted to say this... I've got the little Fokker in sight."
A PanAm 727 flight engineer waiting for start clearance in Munich Overheard the following:
Lufthansa (in German): "Ground, what is our start clearance time?"
Ground (in English): "If you want an answer you must speak English."
Lufthansa (in English): "I am a German, flying a German aeroplane, in Germany. Why must I speak English?"
Unknown voice (in a beautiful British accent): "Because you lost the bloody war!"
I have contacted unswung via pm about his postings but as I see others are taking offence to the comments as well I will now edit the posting

There is an easy way to reduce the great majority of both telephone calls and Junk mail.
The Telephone Preference Services and the Mailing Preference Services will register your name and number will all mailers as being one that prefers not to receive mailings or telesales calls.
It can take up to 6 months for you to see a complete drop off as people buy old lists or use out of date ones. However - everyone who is involved in direct marketing of any sort must comply with the Privacy and Electronic (EC Directive) Regulations 2003.
We do not get any junk mail and the only telesales calls we get are from companies we use and we easily stop that by advising the caller we are a member of the Telephone Preference Service and they should not be calling us and to remove our number from their database.
You can also register to stop "Silent calls" as well on the site.
Anyone who calls you in future you can just report them and tell them you are doing so.
Go to the link above and tyou can access all the services from there.
Works a treat for us!
Okay - I have done some research into this.......
For a company to make us 500 enamel pins in the 3 colours will cost a total of including tooling costs, manufacture, shipping and VAT making an end price of each.
For 1000 the total cost is making an end price of each.
This makes the cost prohibitive in my eyes to go for a personalised pin. However we could go for an off the shelf one and they can be as low as each. Only problem with that is what if some poor innocent is wearing the badge and you walk up and say - "Hi, see your a member of Swinging Heaven - wanna shag" and promptly get yourself arrested........
Think this one is gonna die as an idea from the pin standpoint.......
Any other ideas?
Fred
I think we need some more chairs in here - quite a crowd gathering...........
Do you think we ought to move back Sarge just incase she splashes blood all over our clean shirts? - I hate going clubbing with blood on my shirt - so uncivilised...
Pass another beer someone!
Fred
I have the power of life over death here..........
Do I delete the thread and save poor moles life.........
Or do I sit back with another beer and wait for the ensuing bun fight when Jags awakes from her evening slumber and pulls on her zip up Bri-nylon nightie and one piece slipper and sits down with her mug of cocoa and 2 Rich Tea, puts her curlers in and her hairnet on and then goes for a meander through the forum.....
Fuck it - I'll wait!

*pass the bottle opener Sarge!*
And any pizza without olives just ain't a pizza!
