Thanks Kristoff, yes, I did tick on the 'post a poll' thing but nothing came up to tell me how to post the questions and so I gave up.

Jesus and I have had some truly fascinating conversations about this and, you're right, he has an amazing knowledge on this sort of thing but I guess I just ...

Blaise, take the pills, it's easier that way! 😄

At 3am this morning my mother phoned me to say that my father is in hospital. I'm not allowed to call the hospital (don't know why but she insisted I didn't call), he apparently got up in the middle of the night to look for the next-door-neighbour's ...

It's late. I'm half asleep. So in an episode of creative reading, I could have sworn you'd said "thanks to the invention of a new friend." Now rather than read it again right away, the first thought that came to mind was "Where does he get all the spare body parts??" Took me a minute, it did ...

It took me a while to work out how this worked.

What I love most about the reputation thing is its 'hitleristic' approach!!

Yesterday I tried to give a reputation to someone and it told me, in no uncertain terms, that I had to 'spread it around a bit' first!! 😱 I didn't even remember that I'd ...

I was having a conversation with someone yesterday about gender classifications. I happened to mention this forum in passing. The person with whom I was speaking said "oh no, you can't include eunuchs in this conversation because they don't have gender issues, it's a physical thing for them, it's ...

Paolo asked : Ever Wonder How Turtles Do It?

Er, to be honest with you Paolo, now you come to mention it, no, I never have! However, since you posed the question I naturally felt obliged to hop on over to the link you so thoughtfully provided. 😱

I think this is a case whereby Mrs Turtle could ...

Hi Sapient,

I can't thank you enough for those links. For some reason, I've never been able to find it. I know it was a lot more complicated and interesting than my one paragraph implied. I'm a big fan of Project Gutenberg and I'm hastening over there straight away to download it.

Thank you.

This is a really interesting thread to read.

Years ago, when I was trying to work out what, exactly, I was and how I fitted in to the sexual world my father told me a story which he said came from Greek mythology. I've never been able to locate the story and so I suspect he may have made it up but ...

That's interesting to hear Daughter. I must admit that I've argued over bank charges a number of times (too many to admit to publicly!) and, on every single occasion, the bank has reimbursed me amazingly enough.

Mind you, this might be because I'm a persistently irritating person who rather enjoys ...

I LOVE that analogy, it works for me!

Having said that, personally I'd rather play Go (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(board_game)) but, hey, that's just me!
