    Lady gaga pretended to have a willy :naughty: what a gimp! (good songs though!)

    I hate how everyone tries to be unusual - yawn! your just the same as all the other 'weirdos' :p

    While I brought up the willy thing, have you all heard about the south african 'female' runner who is having a gender test to proove she's a lady because someone claimed she is really a man :shocked:
    Associated Press
    BERLIN - Facing questions about her gender, South African teenager Caster Semenya easily won the 800-meter gold medal yesterday at the world championships. Her dominating run came on the same day that the track and field's ruling body said she was undergoing a gender test because of concerns she did not meet requirements to compete as a woman.
    Semenya took the lead at the halfway mark and won by a massive 2.45 seconds in a world-leading 1 minute, 55.45 seconds. Defending champion Janeth Jepkosgei of Kenya was second.
    About three weeks ago, the international federation asked South African track and field authorities to conduct the verification test. Semenya had burst onto the scene by posting a world-leading time of 1:56.72 at the African junior championships.
    Her dramatic improvement in times, muscular build, and deep voice sparked speculation about her gender.
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    Aw Elle Rhys is gorgeous!

    Well DS is at his grandads today, but now my neighbour's texted me to ask if i can have her little girl for a bit :rolleyes: I don't mind though, she's arranging a surprise golden wedding anniversary party for her mum and dad. She's getting a replica of their original wedding cake made, a guitarist, a marquee, a slide show of old photos on a big screen - it all sounds very stressful!

    Well it's half 10 and already I've:
    had a bath
    ironed a few clothes
    hoovered up
    got Caitlyn dressed

    woohoo! Sometimes I'm not even dressed at this time! Will have to buck my ideas up in 2 weeks though when they go back to school :o

    Hope you all have a lovely day

    I'm assuming you mean the bedroom because we only have 1 wall with paper on in the whole house and I love it!!! The flowers are black... Hubby did it while I was pregnant and for a while the bedroom was my calming place to go for a lie down... Now it resembles a chinese laundry with a bed in the middle...

    Ah not quite the same - my flowers are dark purple - same shop though :D

  • re lady gaga, I read an interview where she described anyone over 26 (I think) as old. So I can't possibly like her agter that ;)

    I'm so offended by that - she has all the requisite girl parts but they'requestioning her because she's too good to just be a woman.

    It reminds me of that swimmer who spit the dummy because someone beat him - he got out of the pool, said, Wait - I lost??? and then refused to compete again until the swimsuit the winner was wearing was banned from competition because there's no way he could have lost unless the other guy had an unfair advantage.

    Sore losers.

  • Wow -this forum moves fast! My original query of a couple of days ago has almost disappeared over the horizon! Many thanks to those who offered hints for choosing the best pram/buggy - I now have a list of questions as a starting point and will ask the parents-to-be to check out the Mothercare 'Choosing a pushchair' site before taking them on a shopping trip. These things are soooo expensive I would hate to buy the wrong one!
    Good luck to everyone with little ones - they're hard work but fascinating too!
