i don't think mine really works as a surname, but that doesn't seem to bother the president of nigeria.

We often use other half's first name, that could be a surname. When I got married, I couldn't believe how wrong people can get our surname, even though its short in letters and only one syllable.

Well, we could have a quick poll, but I've NEVER pee'd in a shower, nor even thought to do so!

Peeing in the shower is very MSE as each time a 10 litre flush is saved.

I know, I know. Expect seafood all who are not veggy and visit here. Worse was the ones he brought back from Brussels, which stank. He had to bag them eight times before bringing them back. I tried to tell him it was illegal, but the problem with lawyers is they will check things out themselves......

Have to say, some of the Belgian ones are really beautiful, purple inside. I know he's after my mother's shells too, things like, hmm I don't know how to spell but sounds like pahwah shekels, and the ones I can never remember whether in uk you say conch or conk.....

I saw some simply gorgeous stone this morning, labradorite I think it was. Thinking about it for the downstairs loo, very dear, but Dh would adore it. Looked like it had pahwah shell in it.

I'm not a seafood fan.

Has oh ever tried those swedish rotten fish things?

Snap.

Anecdotally, men claim to know other men that pee in the shower - though of course they all deny doing it themselves. Women don't know any women that would even think of doing it.

I have peed in the shower though it certainly wouldn't be something I would do under normal circumstances. I was terribly ill at the time and it was my first shower in ages. I got tangled in the shower curtain trying to get out of the bath in time and then shortly after threw up in the basin. Can I please be excused under such circumstances?

I don't know and not sure I care to find out what he has tried. I hope you eat an appropriate source of zinc Lj. Even single you need zinc.

I hope it's the weather viva. I really hope so. It's true I do not know whether I am coming or going with this weather.

Yes.

When very I'll once I both peed and vomited in bed, unable to get out myself, I consider my self excused and yours is a lesser evil. Certainly more easily cleaned up.

Those university wet room single room units, I remember we all tout it hilarious we could shower while sitting on the loo, and if you left the door ajar the mirror reflected where most people with a tv put their tv. It was amusing for three minutes. On a campus where little else happened....:o

If you aimed for the drain hole, all is forgiven.

What I aimed for - and what I hit - well that's two totally different things. But further description is probably best left untyped. I had amoebic dysentry at the time and had spent the best part of the previous week laying in an unsanitary hotel bed covered in ants and looking like a very large sesame seed bun. Unfortunately I'd managed to get home before the unintended redecoration. I wouldn't have minded it a bit if it had happened there.

I'd make sure the space was right to start off with. If the door was in the middle, you'd easily get access to a toilet on one side, shower on the other. We've done it countless times.

But, as a developer, if you don't do it and you plonk a bog in the middle of the room, you make more money.

I've absolutely had enough of it all right now, I don't have the energy to put into it when you see people churning out bog standard or substandard stuff, which clearly means I'm in the wrong job. I'd rather H go off and work for people who care about their own houses than ever dream of trying to hold a straight face selling a stripped out, pasted over cheap magnolia and beige box.

I've totally lost the desire. People have no idea what houses look like behind the plasterwork, nor do they particularly care at the moment, as long as it's cheap.

Sadly, you get this in most walks of life I fear.:(

It's quite easy. I'll explain it to you and then you won't need to worry about infuriating NDG or anyone else.

"Brought" is the past tense of "bring". They both have an R after the B.
"Bought" is the past tense of "buy". They don't have an R.

So imagine the tax disc was going to happen in the future - they would *bring* in the new system next year, so they *brought* it in whenever it was in the past, so you got it right.

Always nice to recieve confirmation from a learned friend.:):kisses3:

I should get this book I suspect:
