My rules are to never buy clothes or jewellery. Taste in these are far too personal to the recipient.
If in doubt DVD/Blu-Ray of a title I know they like, voucher at a shop I know they shop at, get them to do a wish list at Amazon.
Failing those default stand-bys I'd have to know the person to figure out what to buy them.

Ha! The people of Manchester have shown the Government where they can shove their congestion charges.
53% turnout, 79% of which voted no to the ludicrous plans.
Even a £3 billion bribe couldn't get the shite plans through.
People of Manchester I'm proud of you (except those dozy fuckers who voted yes)!
Ahh but how many people voted 'No' because they misunderstood the voting forms and thought that by doing so it would mean that the public transport system would get more funding? Apparently quite a lot did. I did not see the forms as I live outwith the voting area but it seems that they were a tad confusing. Were they?
I am not an advocate of the plans as I think that the government should put it's hand in it's rapidly depleting coffers like the Scottish Parliament did but I do wonder how many people voted thinking of their wallets rather than what was actually trying to be achieved?
They seemed very clear and very simple to me. All the documentation that came with them was pretty clearly laid out too. The most complicated bit was sussing out which piece of paper went in which envelope :shock:
There was more than one envelope?? Maybe people got their envelopes muxed ip then?
The vote had to go in one envelope which then went inside another envelope complete with a piece of paper which was apparently a validation code to stop duplication of votes.

The thing is if London or Stockholm are anything to go by then our wallets needed to be thought about. The wording of it all was couched in terms that left the door open for major price increases further down the line. Remember London's congestion charges only affect about 8 square miles, the proposed area for M/cr was ten times that at 80 sqm.
As it happened I wouldn't have been affected by it but it made no sense to me. The Government should just pay for the proposed improvements without all this bollocks of congestion charges.

For me, none at all, I don't do perfume.
I know I like some men's fragrances but I always forget to ask what they are when I recognise one I like :doh: The one's I like tend to smell 'lemoney' though
Or in a pinch, Toilet Duck.
@toilet duck. You do realise that if I am caught sniffing said item in Sainsbugs, that it will be your fault! :lol2:I'd be more concerned if you were caught wearing it!

Thanks Sixfootsix... though I do find it ironic our creaky old barely used PC manages just fine!
I run a lot of graphics packages handling big files.. are you sure it can't handle one little chat room??
Never mind it's not important!
xx
Presumably the graphics packages were written for PowerPC rather than Flash having been written for Intel then having to be interpreted for PPC. The processor has to work much harder when interpreting code from one processor to the other. Alas lots of memory can't help with that.
It's similar to when you run Windows under a virtual environment like VMWare without a decent processor and lots of memory. It slows down to buggery due to the extra cpu processing required.
I don't do expensive smelly stuff, but when I did I rather liked Eau Savage and occasionally Kouros. And Varca, not so much "lemony" as sherberty ;)
These days I don't even know if they make those any more.
After years of razor burn I've settled on moisturiser rather than smelly, stingy, expensive coloured water.

If your PC is busted how did you post that?
Have you tried ?

I love "mad bitches" ie women who are independant and do their own thing, especially if its hunting, fishing, shooting and sex, but Sarah Palin was'nt - she is an ultra conformist religeous fundamentalist who wants to enforce her idea of a perfect society on everyone else, ie, anti abortion, anti homosexual/lesbian, anti evolution etc

I take it she swallows then?
Without Amazon I'd be fucked at Christmas.
I don't particularly like grocery shopping online, but I do rather like the way Asda's website is set up. When I did have to use it when I had a broken leg it was a doddle to use one I'd set up my usual purchase. And like others have stated I tended to have cheaper shopping as opposed to when I wandered (especially when peckish!).

Bacon
It's amazing how a lot of us love the smell of bacon, even a lot of vegetarians, as this is exactly what human flesh smells like when cooked. :shock:
How do you know that?! :shock: Or should I not ask
:scared:Ten years as a paramedic unfortunately.
You cooked your patients??? :shock:
Only the tasty ones :P

haveing worked closely with an MP some years back....let me tell you 99% are extremely hard working people. The MP I used to work with had very few evenings to himself...he worked for the good of the people. Most MP's could get better paid jobs in commerce and industry. Maybe ask your local MP if you can spend a day with him.....you will be amazed at how much they do and maybe you won't be so quick to jump on their backs.
And this has what relevance to the propensity of MPs to bullshit and lie?
They may indeed work hard and they no doubt start out with good intentions, but sooner or later the ol' politician syndrome soon kicks in.
And in case you are wondering, a personal friend of mine is also an MP. I like the guy a lot, but when he's out there in public...
I still think that people who want to be politicians are the wrong people for the job.

Even scarier are the +40,000 cctv cameras watching you pick your nose from the moment you get off the train until you walk through the door of the massage parlour
In that case you should limit your nose picking to the privacy of your own home. I'm happy not to watch!
Be grateful that they can pick their nose. I have to make do with the one I got at birth.

Lies! I do reply!
Anyway... Frogs and toads are *very* different creatures... I shall explain.
A frog is from the family of amphibians know as amphibiusboxusbolloxusmadustotallus. It has a stealth like quality to hop up whenever you are least expect it and tweak something that you never, or maybe for a very long time, realised you had. :shock: This might envoke a reaction such as a chortle or maybe even an actual :lol: Laught Out Loud (because let's face it, how many of us, ((apart from Nell)) actually roll around on the floor holding our sides laughing from something we read on the internet? Slight smile or gawfawf might me slightly more apt but rather less marketable to teenagers when typing in mobile phone speak).
The frog's natural habitat is usually in boxes and they like to have company every now and again, just to make sure they're not able to be commited into to slimesilum for insane froggery.
It is important to note that a box of frogs should be considered as dangerous and are not to be approached without a pocket full of marbles (preferably someone else's) and a very pretty goldfish to be used as a bargaining tool if the frog gets nasty... which is very rare.
The toad on the other hand...is just plain boring.
Hope that helps.

Thanks swcpl am trying some of your suggestions but updating my browsers and flash etc I can't do not being on OS X 10.4 but I can't justify the cost of updating my whole operating system just to get into one internet chat room! Ticks me off when they update software so often and cut out the previous customers. No problem on any other site though that's the rub! Maybe its my ISP coming over all holy and virginal and barring me from SH chat?
I have a PowerPC G4 sixfootsix, mostly for work with stacks of memory so baffles me what the problem is! It's just got worse over time getting onto SH chat, can barely chat let alone put my cam on.
Got a creaky old PC though that's ok so I just assume its all Windows friendlier!
Hey ho!
The software being used for the site and the chatroom is totally platform independent. It makes no difference whether you're on Windows, OS/X or Linux.
You don't need to upgrade to Leopard to update either Flash or Safari as both are free downloads.
What might (or probably will) give you problems down the road is the fact you're using a PowerPC G4. A lot of programs are dropping the universal binary method and changing over to Intel only.
Lots of memory will make no difference with the chatrooms unless you are doing a lot of multi-tasking.
All you need do is make sure your internet connection is fine, that you have the latest version of and the latest version of whichever browser you are using whether it is or (you may have more success with the latter).
Click on any of the above links to get the latest version of the software for your Mac.

I find these forums a bit of a scary place at times!
I feel some posts are a no go area for me, as if I typed my slant on a certain subject, I would be shot down pretty quickly!!
So..............still sticking to the less contraversal posts!!(i am sure that is not spelt right!)
Lucys post.
If you feel strongly about something that's being discussed in any of the controversial/heated threads or even if you just want to put in your tuppenth worth then go for it. Your thoughts are as valid as anyone else's and you have just as much right to post them. If people disagree then they'll disagree, you'll still have had your say though, which is the important thing.
After you've done a couple you'll wonder what all the fuss was about
