Maybe it should be a NP question for newbies..like mushrooms...."do you check the BB date on....?"

I didn't know they even had BB dates.

Or just have sex with someone less fertile, no intervention required.

Or he could just turn the missus over

Don't let this lot lull you into thinking project houses are the norm/lovely to have.... you really can't beat just opening/closing the door and sitting down on the sofa with chips to watch Coronation Street..... managing dodgy UK workmen, from a distance, while you're at work.... is front-loaded with disaster.

This one has a fair amount more to do than what I was ideally looking for, but I just like it
I'm really not keen on buying somewhere that is completely finished, don't want to have to justify living with a bathroom I don't really like, and someone else's kitchen just because someone has replaced them to sell the house. I want my nest to be how I decide.

I'm quite prepared to use my inflatable mattress and live in one room - can shower at the gym and eat at work. I can also stay here for a bit too...

I'm 99% sure I'll have been outbid anyway, so its all likely to be academic.

Aaarrrggh. I'm supposed to be looking after someone's internet banking whilst they are off visiting King Louie from the Jungle Book. QUOTE]


It is the internet, the clue is in the title. Does King Louie not have access to the WWW?

Is this set up formally some way or have they just given you their password?

King Louie = orangutan which live on Bourneo. King Louie's visitor I don't think has internet, and wouldn't want to visit random internet cafe abroad.

Not formally set up, just trusting (have done so quite a few times before). This might be the last time now anyway!

Wouldn't the mse thing to do be a vasectomy? Do you want more Michaels? Condoms really add up surprisingly quickly.

Not if you are married with 3 young kids they don't

We would probably have another little Michaels if we could afford it (which means afford for me to work part time as I find it just to knackering, today's top tip, have kids when you are young and have the energy for it)

I don't seem to get many invitations (and obviously wouldn't entertain them even if I did).

Not as sure as I am, up against people who are currently in rented and the like...

Oh and you lot are all very crude, and it is the ladies not the gentlemen who are the worst offenders, personally I have no idea what you are talking about or suggesting...

I know of two really cruel tricks that nature plays on us.

The first is that people who are depressed need lots of tender loving care, but depressed people tend to behave in ways that make them difficult to love and care for, if not to say darn right annoying.

The second is that couples either conceive all too easily (there's the old joke about just leaving a folded pair of trousers at the end of the bed and the woman becomes pregnant) or they have the utmost difficulty. There seems to be no middle ground.

PN, your suggestion might be a touch uncomfortable, and I'm not even convinced it would be a particularly effective method of birth control. I remember that, when one of my clients left his wife to run off with another man, my colleague remarked that the poor woman must be distraught as she didn't know which way to turn.

If you think sex is a pain in the ar*e then you're doing it wrong?

The most effective form of birth control is to say things like "yes, I do think that dress makes you look fat, actually". Works a treat every time.

Top, top tip: If asked "Does my bum look big in this?" DO NOT NOD!

I still think it incredible they have given you their password. I am usually atrusting soul too.

Ooh we went to Borneo for Christmas one year. Christmas day opened our pressies under a palm tree then onto Sapi Island snorkelling and BBQ, Boxing day a flight and personal guide around Sepilok to see the Orangemen, a trip down a river to see rainforest, logging:eek:, and probiscus monkeys. A bath that looked out over the South China Sea and local fishermen in tiny boats.

That was in the days before I became a wimp and cut out long haul and insisted on first world hospitals.
