This is my preference!

PS: Where's the poll? dunno

Good question Cubes - I created it the options were:-
turkey / goose / duck / chicken / phesant / i'm a veggie
:doh:
Here's mine:-
1 - A cold
2 - A hand knitted jumper
3 - Anything from Apple
4 - Bottles of Port
5 - Cheese boards
6 - Handerchief's
7 - A pair of silly socks
8 - A Chocolate Father Christmas
9 - A failure of the broadband connection
10 - More snow
It's been around for awhile now, and in-need to a modern re-interpretation from the collective forum brains of SH.
The Original 12 Days with the original religious meanings in brackets:-
1 True Love
(God)
2 Turtle Doves
(Old & New Testaments in the Bible)
3 French Hens
(Faith, Hope and Charity)
4 Calling Birds
(The Four Gospels)
5 Gold Rings
(First five books of the Old Testament)
6 Geese a-laying
(Days of Creation)
7 Swans a-swimming
(The Seven Sacrements)
8 Maids a-milking
(The Eight Beatitudes)
9 Ladies dancing
(Fruits of the Holy Spirit)
10 Lord's a-leaping
(Ten Commandments)
11 Pipers piping
(The faithful Apostle's)
12 Drummers drumming
(Doctrine's in the Apostle's creed)
so, what's your 'modern' twelve???
Milk bottles - do they still exist (not seen one for years)? lol
I for one will wake up with a severe case of amnesia.
(Christmas - what's Christmas :lol: )
Alternatively:-
A supply of 'Police Crime Scene' tape tape across the door should discourage the foolhardy.
or
A supply of Iceland Christmas TV Dinner meals left on the doorstep...
or
A Bio-hazard warning sign that the wife is loose in the kitchen...
That should cover all bases and ensure we have a day free of interuptions and I can watch endless repeats of 1970's Christmas Specials on Sky. banghead

"that's why mums go to Iceland":fuckinghell:

I hate that advert and actually boycott the store. It's sexual discrimination that wouldn't be allowed in reverse.
That's why Dad's go to Halfords.... I think not.
Anyway, my advert is not for a shop / service, its for a tv program.
Coronation Street. Four funerals and a wedding.
Like we care ! Those that watch the inane drivel know its on, those that don't are watching the football lol
I always send Mrs GU to Halfords. I in-turn camp out in Iceland to 'mum-spot' :lol:
It's almost as good as using the 'cute baby' trick in Tesco's during the summer.

The European standards for Carol Singers clearly states:
"Carol Singing may not take place before the second Friday before Christmas Day, unless said carols are part of an offically organised event such as school fete or church event. In which case, any date in December is acceptable. Carol concerts, defined as a concert wholly or largely consisting of festive tunes, whether secular or religious, may only take place in the week, defined as seven days, immediately preceding Christmas day."
Carol Singing, when carried out on a door-to-door basis, has its own set of standards which include:
"No less than one person may be considered a carol singing group. Maximum size is based on the standard English doorstep, of 32.5 inches, allowing 2 adults or 4 children or a combination of both. Mutliple steps allow for more singers but the group must refer to the multi-step safety standard appended hereto.
The songs selected must be demonstrably festive although some leeway is permitted where the receiving household is percieved to be of a less than festive temprement.
Maximum monetary reimbursment for said carols singing is set down below -
- the full 4 verses of any carol from "Carols for Choirs" versions 3 onwards - £1 per singer - per carol.
- 2 or more verses as above - 50p
- full descant on the final verse may acheive a further £1 for the descantee.
- 1 verse nicely rendered 25p for each singer.
- a duet of 1 or 2 verses with harmony up to £1 each.
- 25p of any of the above may be converted into a mince pie on any occasion.
- 50p as above, warm with brandy butter.
- one line, badly remembered - no cash although a full 3 minute lecture on the value of "learning the words before getting me to my freezing cold front door" is permitted.
On no account must cold water, violence or swearing be aimed at the carol singers unless they are over 18 and repeat offenders of the 'one line badly rememebered'."
I hope this is of use when deciding how to deal with future doorstep carolers.

Can't I just shoot them? lol
5th Dec and the first tuneless carol signers have turned up on the doorstep...:censored:

Has he ever known anybody done for it guf? The snow on the roof that is.

Yes - he booked a driver on the A331 this morning - mainly for undemisted windows and because the driver got arsey threw in the DCA for snow on the roof for good measure along with four illegal tyres. Must have made his day. lol
Having spoken to a Traffic Officer:-
to quote..
"if an officer perceives that the quantity of snow on the vehicle constitutes a danger to other road users, then the driver may be stopped and cautioned under the RTA for 'diving without due care and attention', it is also an offence to drive with a bonnet full of snow under the RTA as this could obstruct forward vision of the driver and is treated in the same way as an incorrectly defrosted window. The same law applies to windows that are excessively dirty, windows that are covered with a film to restrict light, or the incorrect placement of a tax disk or other sticker which may impair the drivers vision."
It's a breach of rule 229 of the Highway Code:-
229
Before you set off
you MUST be able to see, so clear all snow and ice from all your windows
you MUST ensure that lights are clean and number plates are clearly visible and legible
make sure the mirrors are clear and the windows are demisted thoroughly
remove all snow that might fall off into the path of other road users
check your planned route is clear of delays and that no further snowfalls or severe weather are predicted

Which provides for a fine of £60 and 3 penalty points.
Depends on what you really need.
If it's speed - then Virgin is the only real option at the moment until BT get Infinity rolled out to your local exchange. They also have a good option if you need 3G for a lappy.
The 50mb is great - the 100mb is 'stonking' for loads of video content downloading. We have the 100mb option with the Apple TV - b brilliant.
If it's a cost issue - any of the 'copper' providers have deals.
If you need home plus travelling wifi - the BT's package with the free openzone option is a good balance.
But with any BT based package (eg sky etc.) the spped you get is dependant on your distance from the exchange - so unless you live almost next door to it you will be unlikely to get 20mb's.
If you just want a 3G connection then '3' have an excellent offer on a dongle + unlimited internet deal.

Just the thought that the rules would preclude Catholics from doing anything they like is hilarious.....they just confess and everything is ok wink

For the day time you could try this:

Really good fun! :thumbup:

Or this one.....

excellent fun. lol
or, check out the Met Police web site for Demo's - they're always good to get the adrenaline going. wink
After the news that the Pope is relenting on condoms, this led to a rather interesting conversation....
1 Are there any Catholic swingers on here and how do they relate/practice 'safe sex' swinging before this Papal dispensation, or was the Bareback room a secret code for catholics?
2 Are we now about to be deluged with a whole new group of swinging members, Catholics joining the site with this new found freedom?
1 - Plug in cam and load any software that came with it.
2 - Logon to the site chatroom.
3 - Right click on My Cam
4 - Select 'Settings'
5 - click on the cam icon
6 - select the external web cam
7 - select close
You should then be up and working. lol

I hope this is not taken the wrong way, but I do amuse myself sometimes with the more bizarre "out of the box" thoughts as you know.
The poppy was adopted as a symbol of peace in the aftermath of WWI.
Don't you get opium from the poppy and isn't that one of the reasons we are fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan?
Maybe time for a rethink perhaps?
I was also amused to see that the official family photos of the Miliband family addition showed both parents, including Red Ed sporting a rather snazzy shirt outside his trouser band, wearing poppies. Now tell me, who goes round their house in casual dress wearing a poppy other than your average Sergeant Major who also wears his stripes on his PJ's and uses his swagger stick to pick his nose with?
"Not a poppy wearer of France"

The origins of the Remembrance poppy lie with two women:
Moina Bell Michael, an American teacher,was so moved by Colonel John McRae’s poem “In Flanders Field” that she bought poppies with money collected from her work colleagues and sold them to raise funds for U.S ex-Servicemen.
In 1920 the Poppy was proclaimed as the United States’ national emblem of Remembrance.
Madame Guerin, a Frenchwoman,sold millions of poppies in 1921 throughout the US to raise funds for rehabilitation in areas of France devastated by the First World War. She also sent French women to London to sell poppies and she persuaded Earl Haig to adopt the poppy for the British Legion.
An interesting thread... :thumbup:
Having been a serving member of the Forces in the past, I find myself agreeing with both sides of this thread:-
Yes, we should remember those that have given their life in conflict for this country. And, no, I don't support the British Legion Poppy Appeal.
So I have observed the 1 minute silence out of respect for the fallen. Have made my charity donation direct to the force that I support and know that 100% of my donation will go directly to helping the families and ex-forces personnel that need it most.
For those that have the same views on not making a donation to the RBL may consider these alternatives:-
Army Benevolent Fund -
Royal Navy Benevolent Fund -
RAF Benevolent Fund - /
or
The Chelsea Pensioners Fund -
Help for Heroes -
The anatomy is the same. Your personal social skills of good manners and respect for the individual will no doubt see you through as they are universally transferable. It's 'others' that usually cause the problems! So best not to take her to a KKK BBQ on a 1st date. lol

Csn i try this in this thread? I dont seem to be able to get a reply in the bug reporting thread.
I have to keep manually scrolling the page down to see what myself and others are saying. It scrolls itself for a few lines then i havet o use the slider to move the page down after i type and to keep up with the room.
Is this just me? or is it something that can be resolved? I think others are experiencing it too. Should i raise a ticket thing? or is it something that will be resolved while you're sorting other things out?
Raise a support ticket. Works fine here..

Another thing i've noticed is where there's a little piccy next to some peoples names in the chat room list, it's not always their picture and when queried they have never seen the picture before. Wonder who has mine lol, is this something caused by the switch over?
The wee 'piccy' is their profile avatar..

If you mean the Pool as the main one - you have to wait until there are less than 100 people in it.
Make your own Pringles:-
1 Lge. Bag dehydrated potato.
150 gms rice flour
50 gms wheat starch
1 empty Pingles tube
Mix ingredients with hot water until fairly stiff consistency is achieved.
Place mixture into the Pringles tube (buttered inside) – place in coldest part of fridge for 1 hour to harden.
Pre-heat oven to 200c
Remove Pringles tube from fridge and slice thin circles from the hardened potato roll.
(tip – use a cheese wire cutter).
Place circles on an oiled baking sheet and place in oven for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Sprinkle with flavour of choice..
