Is there a niceness test before one can join?

No. And if there were I for one would fail. The rule is that we are 'nice' here. Even that fails very occasionally, but the group is pretty good at self righting. Perfect, nope, but pretty darn good? Absolutely.:)

I'm here so I guess not (I did lie on the application form though and luckily no one thought to check whether my referee had been dismissed for gross misconduct...)

However I do try my hardest to be nice in here as otherwise some of the regulars do raise their eyebrows.....

So welcome to the thread Almo :j

Well if there's no test, hello!

You may regret the lack of formal joining procedures when I reveal that I am not Jewish, am not keen on mushrooms (but force myself to put them in risotto/bolognese, chopped up really really small) and have never lived in Herts although I spent a year in North London.

Cats: chipped.

Gay marriage: in favour of one secular 'marriage' for all, additional religious ceremonies fine.

Hurrah.... back from the grindstone for this week

I do wish I'd been born pretty and managed to bag myself a rich chappie years ago so I could dispense with the awfulness people call 'work'.

I have only stayed in herts for a short while. I was in n.london too though. That's easily greater herts.

I can forgive mushrooms for sense over secular partnerships being equal and fully provident with added extras for those who want them.

I plan to ask dh tonight whether it would have changed how we got married for him, because I don't know. Personally I think we felt spiritually married before our wedding, but a wedding with religious peeps from both backgrounds was planned originally (was easy to find a rabbi who had done such things, harder to find one of 'my lot') but I didn't feel that was appropriate as I have not practised for years and years. I would have liked a Druid or something though, ipn that beautiful tree cathedral. We did talk about having 'a party' as a housewarming, but then didn't, then a tenth wedding anniversay...but I cannot see we will have anywhere by then to do it, and of course, it's a lot of planning and potential money if I then 'feel sick' at the time.

Can't even think of a car manufacturer starting with S and 7 letters...

I cannot think of a car manufacturer with s and seven letters. I can think of two with six, I think.

Westies can be stubborn though...if they don't like to do something they won't do it just to please you!

When my OH and I are walking our Alsationx Tasha we regularly meet a Lady that has two lovely westies, we usually cross to the other side of the road so as not to make the poor souls feel inadequate, and the two of them just lie flat on the pavement until we are a good distance away until they will get up and continue with their walk, despite the Lady trying hard to get them to move on she justs gives in to their demand to lie down.

Sometines we meet the same westies with the ladies son and he is totally embarrassed, well he is a teenager so I can see that he feels uncomfortable. Poor soul.:)

Santana starts with S and has 7 letters. Suzuki or Subaru, coupled with a minor miscount, seem more likely. Saab, coupled with a major miscount, seems less likely.


Edit: You've beaten me to it, PN.
