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

    Believe me, it's a better answer than, "It's not the dress, it's all those chocolates that you eat".

    I walked funny for a week after that!

    One of the Generalissimos is sick. He also got bitten by a spider last night so we're waiting to see if he's ok from that. It's probably harmless as it's only really the season for funnel webs and you only really see them outside or in the laundry.

    It's the time of year for them to be looking for a mate to make sweet funnel web music with.

    Not if you are married with 3 young kids they don't :(....... , 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...

    Sorry Michaels.

    Lack of kids and feeling better than I have for ages and ages means almost nothing got done at the house/ garden this weekend.....

    Many (including me) have rung up O2 to ask for the Mac code to leave (Sky takeover) have been offered 12 months free and some even £100 credit back to mobile account. It appears that even those that have previously signed up for the 12 month half price offer are being given the 12 months free. There is a thread on the internet board.

    Brilliant. I got as far as linking the account to my longest lasting o2 contract (Oct 14) to try and ensure the £5 discount would last as long as possible and was going to try asking them to restart the 12 months half price deal I am half way through but it sounds like there are better offers out there - only question is will I then end up locked in to Skys carp service....

    Edit - 2 minute phone call, £150 saved over 12 months and hopefully keep superior O2 product for as much of that time as possible - I think I owe you a beer Stevie :kisses3:

    I'm with BE Unlimited. Should I be doing much the same?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    ...people ... need lots of tender loving care, but ... (some) people tend to behave in ways that make them difficult to love and care for, if not to say darn right annoying.
    I'm very annoying.... and embarrassing to take out for fear of who I might upset/what I might say without even noticing.

    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.
    That's because nobody mentions it when it's what's considered "normal"
