Hi all,
I planned to put £35 of diesel in my car this morning in Tescos Bridgend. It's always a challenge to stop the pump on the exact amount that you want to put in. It's all too easy for it to go to or for example. I was quite chuffed with myself that I had stopped it exactly on £35. When I went to pay it showed as I told the assistant that it had stopped on £35 dead. "If it's on here, it will be on the pump" was the slightly smug reply. I did check on my return to the car and it had jumped by two pence.
If I have put £35 worth in the car that is all I expect to pay for. Has this happened to you before? If this happens in one tenth of the fuel transactions in any day someone is getting money for nothing......Not much chance of them showing I suppose?????????

I'm not religious in any way and don't belong to his club. I don't see why there should be a problem with him resigning, stepping down or whatever you wish to call it. The world for most is an evolving place and I think that even the Catholic Church should evolve with it. It might be the Bastion of faith but that faith has to show compassion as the world changes.....maybe I'm wrong, just my six pennoth!

In driving around South Wales and other areas since the last lot of snow I'm shocked by the how much the condition of our roads has worsened. 'B' roads seem to be the worst even if they are very busy ones. We have put up with shallow potholes for years but looking now there are many which might be up to 500mm in diameter and up to 50mm in depth.
Previously hitting one of the shallow ones was not so bad due to the layers below forming a bit of a ramp. Now they seem to be sheer-sided. I certainly would not like to hit one at any speed aluminium wheels or steel! The M4 westbound at Cardiff was blocked for a while yesterday whilst small holes between the on-slip and lane one were repaired.
This can only be a very temporary measure at best. A few hundred vehicles passing over these places and they'll probably be as bad as ever.
We pay our taxes every day in the form of road-fund and fuel but get very little in return in the way of repairs.
GOT IT!!!!!!! Perhaps that's part of the Government's master plan!!!! Let the roads get so bad all the cars will have to drive so slow no-one will break the speed limit and there won't be any accidents!!!!
Now why didn't I think of that?????

Got mine back to 1650 in Gloucester. Supposed to have come to England in early 1600's when the Catholics hounded the Huguenot Protestants out of France. Evidence that we were here well before that. Reckon we arrived with Willi the Conq's army at Pevensey Bay in Sussex. Have walked across the Bay, (different now) and thought that I may be walking where my ancestor who was probably a French peasant walked.......not come very far!!!!!!!!!! The name is very common in France though, like Thomas and Jones in Wales.

For me the tax return is just a formality to let them keep their claws in me. My sideline work does generate an income so I have to do a return. It certainly would not be worth me paying an accountant. Anyone who is full-time self employed should use an accountant to ensure that they are getting all the relief (TAX RELIEF!!!!) that they are due. Did all of mine in one evening a week ago. Great relief to know it was all done before the deadline....even better to know that there was to be a small refund!!!!!

Flirting for me is the confidence to chat amiably to any member of the opposite sex. There are degrees of flirting but you are wasting your time if the person you are trying to flirt with does not think along the same lines. Most flirting would be of a complimentary,very mildly sexual,double entendre or humerous nature. Stay on the safe side until you have made a few 'saucy' comments and see how they respond. If the banter is well received you can go as far as you feel safe with. I always think that a bit of banter and flirting brightens up the day of many people, shop workers for example. There are too many miserable B's out there.

Hi all, I feel like the very poor relation!!!!
For quite a while now the speed that my computer will operate at has been a sore point. There may be some issues with the speed of my computer which is being looked into by a local computer shop.
However after reading the above it seems that my download speeds are absolute crap compared to some. I've just done a 'Speedtest' and the results are taken at on Tuesday 4th December; Download mb/s and upload
I have done a test with Talktalk and they tell me that the line is capable of handling approx They say that 70% of that capacity is satisfactory. Apparently I am about 4km from the nearest exchange and that is part of the slow speed. Frequently all I seem to be doing is waiting for the computer to do something, not to mention trying to change a page or going to another site and being told "this page cannot be displayed". Click immediately again and no problem.
I have been offered a fibre upgrade at a cost of £50 and I think it was an extra £10 a month after.
So the final question is whether I should put up with it or go to another provider if they can guarantee a faster speed? I'm not looking for a whizz bang speed but it would be wonderful not to sit here twiddling my thumbs for anywhere up to a minute while it sorts itself out.
What would be an average speed? All opinions will be very much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi all,
I need some advice please. I have a basic Nokia phone with a lot of quite long texts, redeived and sent on it. I'm told that because this phone is a very basic model that I cannot download these texts to a computer. OK. I', told in a 'phone' shop in Bridgend that my phone won't but more up to date phones will send texts to the computer.
I was told in the 'phone' shop of a supermarket, T*****, yesterday that no phone, even up to date more expensive ones will download texts. Can't believe that with all the technology present that you can't do that!
Who is right? I still need a basic phone but would be happy to upgrade to one which can transfer texts. If it can be done, what do I need to check/ask for?
Thanks

We will remember them and WE always WILL remember them.
We went to the Service in Bridgend yesterday. My daughter has been in the Air Cadets who were on duty yesterday....always a moment of great pride. It was a beautiful day and it was wonderful to see young people taking part. At least some of our next generation will understand why we were there yesterday and why we will continue to be there.

Hi,
I've just had a look at your profile to check your ages. I thought you 60 or 70 or so.
In your 50's you should be having the time of your lives socially, mentally and sexually.
My girlfriend is 54 and has the sexiest body and other bits. OK things might be heading southward a bit and the chandeliers are now safer than ever but for most the threat of pregnancy no longer exists and you should be tuned to eachothers needs and passions.
Look past the surface at the woman inside. Perhaps SHE thinks that you don't fancy her any more and is returning that feeling. Get away for a romantic weekend or even a night. You might be surprised what it will do for you both.

Not going to try and add much other than to say once you have gone it can be a minefield for those that have no idea how to handle such matters.
There is much to be decided if you have divorced or as in my case widowed with a possible potential new partner. What you may think will go to your children could well end up in the hands of a new partner if married or at least be part claimed by him/her if you had been together for any length of time.
I have just redone a will making my children trustees to safeguard the estate for them and not for my son's ex partner to have a pop at once she knows he has some money left to him.
Don't take any chances especially if there are any family tangles going on. See a financial adviser and leave your estate to who YOU want to not to who someone else thinks should have it.

PS. A lot or a little its still worth it going where you want it to.

Looking into the possibility of trying Virectin. I have access to the usual tabs as a result of some surgical damage to the business end. Tried Viswiss with some reasonable effects. Virectin is claimed to be the best (aren't they all?). Can't find any direct supplier in the UK. Anyone had any positive experiences with this or any other herbal tabs? Keeping a very open mind on it.

Hi all,
Whilst being or having a lady who gushes prolificaly can be an enjoyable and turn-on experience it also has a downside in terms of soaking the bedding especially if you are not in your own bed or at home. To solve this I have found what I think is an answer, so far untested but should work.
A changing mat type of item would be suitable but they aren't big enough. I have bought what is essentially a children's/large adult changing mat/playmat which measures 160cm x 180cm from a company called Toystoreeze. Four designs are available but the strawberry design was more suitable for adult use. They are waterproof and fold up very small. In addition to this I'm planning to use several sheets from 50cm wide paper rolls supplied by 'physiquemgt'.
The rolls are 50m in length and used to cover couches in any treatment room. Perhaps not quite as 'sexy' as a towel but when on holiday or away for the night. Disposal of the paper will be easy and no towels to dry out or have to wash.

Hi thanks for the replies,
We were in a '69' position with my girlfriend on top last night. She started to gush after oral and I kept on with more oral and fingers rubbing her G spot. She gushed again and again it seemed. The last time I was amaxed by how strong the jet was. Fortunately I had a towel in place but there was so much that it soaked the towel, through a thickish duvet and just reached the mattress sheet a little. At one stage I had to stop the oral because my nose was full so that I could breathe through my mouth!!!!! She certainly climaxed big time and I'm thrilled that I was able to take her beyond a level that others may have stopped at. Although I was very close to cumming she climbed on top and .......well, as they say the rest is history, but WOW!!!!!
The prospect of a plastic sheet does not do much but I'm wondering if a plain baby-change mat and a towel on that might be more suitable. Any thoughts appreciated?

Hi, can you help with some advice?
My new girlfriend is quite a prolific gusher. Whilst giving her oral several nights ago she gushed 3 seperate times. Glad we had a towel in place. She had warned me about it before we slept together. I was thrilled at the prospect of it. I have had several swinging partners in the past as well as my late wife who gushed on occasions but never with any frequency.
My questions ladies are;
Do you only gush when you climax or can it happen at any time?
Do you know that you are about to let go?
Do you feel any special pleasure above an orgasm perhaps when it happens.
I would like to think that she might have had 3 climaxes on this occasion but could that be wishful thinking?
Thanks for your advice

Hi,
I'd agree with Mick to a point about being ignored being taken as an insult. God knows I've been ignored more times than I care to think about when I have written a very polite message to people on genuine dating sites. However I think that you can usually tell if the message seems kosha or not. If it does seem gen then, yes, a polite no-thanks would be in order. If however a second message arrives and you can be sure that your reply and the second message have not crossed in cyber-space then report it.
It is only common courtesy to send a genuine reply to a genuine message.

This is from Wales but it does not matter! I was in the Bank today when I saw the TV screen there "Breaking News - England out of Euro 2012". I was distraught!!!! Was I f***?
Perhaps now we can get back to some more normal TV schedule. I don't watch much TV but when Eggheads is cancelled for one I get pretty pissed off. Good on Lewis for being more concerned with his own sport and bollocks to what anyone else says. Also pissed off with media comments like "the UK is mourning the exit of so and so from some football competition". Me, I couldn't give a flying f***.

I've always considered myself a student of the mature woman especially those over 50. Every woman has beauty whether its in the way she looks, moves or speaks or any combination of the three. How often have you caught an unexpected glimpse of nipple, cleavage or knicker and thought wow! that's so sexy.....would you recognise it as a sexy moment if you saw it?
Whilst in a well known supermarket today I saw a woman who I would guess to be 70-ish striding briskly in my direction. She was of medium build and reasonably attractive.
Being very much a 'boob man' I automatically took her all in. The cardigan she wore was fully open revealing a purplish top and the most amazing braless boobs that I have ever seen on someone of that age. Her nipples were very proud under the material and pointing slightly upwards. With her striding motion there was barely a j-j-jiggle of her breasts.
They must have been SO firm and I'd guess about 42C or D (engineer's eye).
Well, guys and gals, what have you seen that's caused that 'wow moment?

Once again I'm struck by the reduction in size of everyday products that we buy. This time its Muller corner yoghurts. I don't have measurements but I reckon that the fill level is getting on for 1/4" (6mm) less than in the very recent past. No doubt the manufacturers will counter this by saying 'that it is helping us to eat sensibly'.
If I want to eat 'sensibly' I'll only eat half of the f****** yoghurt. I don't need some pennypinching accountant to tell me that!!!!
Needless to say there is no reduction in price. Its a con and maybe we should do something about it by boycotting these companies or at least products that are clearly smaller than they were in the very recent past.
Has anyone else been surprised/shocked by the difference in size of any product? Mars springs to mind.
