And, being a slave to the NHS shift machine, I can be found on here at funny times posting things like "please generali explain fractional reserve banking"0

Yes, I suppose so. specially large sites like this, sadly. On the other hand, I have met people through other websites (much smaller and quite spcialised) who have become very dear friends, whose homes I've stayed at and who have visited me and stayed with me too.
Quite few people meet their partners online now too, don't they?
That would be a leap of faith:j (jumping smilie struck me as a decent sub for a leap of faith smilie:o ) 0 -
You'd get on great with him too...he's just like me but blokeySorry again fc123. TBH, under normal circs I'd have ignored the whole thing and gone along with the aim of talking my way out of things if poss and running away if not in the unlikely event of anything happening (I'm pretty quick with the proper motivation).
It's just that I could do without any more problems in my life right now - given my current luck I'd end up having to stay here while waiting for a court case or not get my visa because I'd hit someone whilst defending myself or something.
I'll get in touch next time I'm in London and buy you and OH a nice bit of dinner or something to make it up.
And I had a wicked dress sample for Mrs Gen in my bag too.
....oh and don't anyone take notice of PN's wind ups on Hot Dates. She's just being cheeky.
How is Gen going to have time to expalin inflation and fractional reserve banking to us all again when he will be spending his leisure time with toddler son learning to surf (and other exciting Aus hobbies)?
Think of us in the rain and gloom, living under Brown and working all hours to put a few twigs on the fire and a bowl of cabbage broth on the table.
And if Mrs Gen ever needs a nice UK made frock...we post out to Aus too 0 -
(apart from NDG who as far as I can tell sleeps between the hours of 1.45am and 5.45am) so I'll not be able to get into conversation.
sleep is for wimps....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Once again, 1,000 apologies. If St Gorrrdon keeps printing money then I might have to change that to 10,000 apologies. If we'd stayed on the Gold Standard it would be 5 apologies and we'd still have an Empire.How is Gen going to have time to expalin inflation and fractional reserve banking to us all again when he will be spending his leisure time with toddler son learning to surf (and other exciting Aus hobbies)?
It seems to me that every time I spend any time with a male member of Mrs Generali's family they collar me for an intensive barbeque cooking course. Now if I can persuade these uncles, cousins etc that I am a lost cause and they need to start on the Generalissimos instead then that'll free up much valuable posting time.Think of us in the rain and gloom, living under Brown and working all hours to put a few twigs on the fire and a bowl of cabbage broth on the table.
You'll be much better off sticking Brown on the fire and living under twigs.
Generali's 3 rules of politics:
1. Never vote for a socialist.
2. If in doubt see rule 1.
3. In all other cases, rule 2 applies.And if Mrs Gen ever needs a nice UK made frock...we post out to Aus too
Marvellous. And as the seasons are all the wrong way up down there we'll be able to buy the sale stuff for the new season. Cheap is my 2nd favourite price!0 -

I'm a tiny bit younger, happy to travel by bus, and don't have a helmet for hair.......much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
