It was crap just like the man said lol
A great loss - one of Britain's true characters
My mum's purse was nicked from her bag yesterday while she was in a shop. The scumbags cleared it of all her money / cards and it was found later in a Burger King bin and handed to security.
She went to the police and they took all the details - she said a young woman with a foreign accent 'pushed past her' whilst she and my sister were looking at clothes but she didn't feel her bag being tampered with.
The police said there are currently gangs of organised pick pockets, mainly Albanian, who travel down from London and do a 'sweep' on a selected town before moving on. All very 'Fagin'.
This is just a warning to everyone here to be vigilant - I'm going to change my bag ASAP as mine only has a magnetic fastner. I don't want to make life easy for these low lifes.
My mum is a pensioner and was very, very traumatised by this incident. If only I could get my hands on the b*tch who did it ... !!!
Oh bloody hell ... I'm keeping my head down on this thread lol
We definitely wouldn't expect to pay 2/3 of a hotel bill! And any guy who suggested it would be hard pressed to get a meet in my humble opinion.
We haven't had an arranged meet in a hotel but IF we did, and both sides had travelled a similar distance then, as a couple, we'd expect to pay no more than half.
If you use the £84 bench mark again, why should we pay £56 and the guy only £28 when we could go to a club for less and get more choice? He certainly wouldn't get into ANY club I know of for £28.
I'd say that for a single guy, £42 for a night of horny sex with no competition from other guys (as in a club scenario) would be a bargain!
Some bitter-sweet memories there woohoo. You're right about your nephew - what a heartless prick!
It's so nice to be able to remember those we love with a smile on our faces though isn't it. My dad was an ex matelot and always had the whole family in fits of laughter with tales of his antics around the world. I should write the ones I remember down really or they'll be lost forever.
Losing a loved one is one of the saddest of experiences but one that ties us together as human beings. How nice it is to share emotions with you guys. Thanks for sharing your experiences too.
I'd also like to mention my dear son Alex who would have been 23 this June 8th - I wish we could have had more time together xx
Newphew James, who died in 2007 aged 20 xx
Niece Felicity (18) - don't let Alex & James boss you about up there sweetheart! xx
And lastly my best friend's daughter, Alison who lost her battle with cancer in 2007 aged 24. I'd known her since she was 2 and she was like a niece to me xx
All terribly missed xxx
I lost my dear dad a year ago today and still can't quite believe he's gone. I miss him terribly but I think it'll really hit home at my graduation ceremony in October. My dad always said I was 'University material' but I fell pregnant at 17 and spent the next 25 years struggling in minimum wage jobs.
In 2005 my dad was diagnosed with prostate and bone cancer - he'd had the symptoms for a while but because of embarrassment, he left it too late for any chance fo a cure. Prolonging his life for as long as possible was the best the doctors could do. I jacked in my job as a shop assistant and went to college in the hope my dad would live long enough to see me get to University.
He died on May 23rd 2008 at the end of my 2nd year at Uni. I've now just completed my degree and although my dad never lived long enough to see me wear the silly hat and gown, at least he was around to see me through to my third year.
Just thought I'd post this in memory of my dad, who I miss every single day. Also to give other people the opportunity to take a little time out to remember those they loved and lost.

I saw a vid once where dozens of blokes wanked into a jug, an egg was added and the concoction was cooked up into a scrambled 'dish' and fed to a fem. She was gagging as each forkful was shoved into her mouth and I was also gagging as I fumbled to find the 'stop' button. I haven't been able to eat scrambled egg since. Not sexy, not sexy, not sexy! :sticky:
Thanks mrs B for organising a great evening. Busy and fun as always!!
Met some great new friends and caught up with some lovely old ones - always a pleasure to see them again.
A fantastic night! xxx
'Tommy' was filmed in Southsea across the harbour from me and although I know it's not a film, 'Bad Lads Army' was filmed at Browndown, the army training camp a few minutes away from me.
I'm pretty good at identifiying a trochaic metrical foot from an iambic one ...
An invaluable skill in the 21st Century! (and not a hint of irony there)

I remember buying my eldest a Sinclair ZX 48K computer with a separate tape section for loading the games. If you wanted to play Trivial pursuit, you'd put the tape in and go and cook dinner it took that long for the programme to load!
Then you'd get back and see 'loading error' on the screen AAARGGG!!
We thought it was pretty amazing though. It seemed so high tech compared to the little tennis game we had when I was in my teens ... black screen rectangular 'bats' and a pixel for a ball. None of my mates had one - we only did because my dad owned an electrical shop and got it wholesale.
He was a bit of a gadget man - liked all the 'new' technology. I remember when he bought a fax machine - it just collected dust because nobody else had one so there was no-one to fax!
Oh the good old days!
And I thought it was just me who got as turned on as fook by seeing guys together!!

I haven't had a bath for about 5 years or so ... don't worry, I don't have a swarm of flies following me around - I just prefer a shower. We have a fab shower cabinet thingy that's also a mini steam room, has body jets, blue lighting and a built in radio. Wonderful! We also have a spa bath which I've never used - I just get bored in a bath!

I've always thought one section of Roxy Music's 'Dance Away' was a genius play on words.
It's funny how, I could never cry
Until last night and you pass by,
hand in hand with another guy,
you're dressed to kill and guess who's dying?'
So clever!!
