They just showed the sketch on the news with Obama doing Daniel Day Lewis playing 'Obama' - I thought it looked like a lot of fun and could just imagine the GOP dinosaurs be rankled by it

Expect it will end messily for the hypothetical emailer if he happens to be that sort of person (hypothetically).
Yeah, probably (but hypothetically, of course) like the idiot (married) used car salesman who tried to pull me because I made friendly conversation on the test drive. I'm not taking any of the blame for that one.Ha! But couldn't do that unless I could be sure the situation wasn't at all my fault. Clearly something gave the wrong idea.
Address not known, should be safe. Chances are in the cold, sober light of day there is no longer an ongoing issue anyway.
Frankly I would still consider he was at fault even if the hypothetical emailee had ripped all her clothes off and offered herself to him on a plate. He's married, so he shouldn't be sending emails like that. (Not that I'm suggesting that that would be a good or blameless course of action on her part, of course.) Maybe that means I'm not post-modern enough for this century.I've definitely lost size (and some chin:)), but not seen the scales move so much. If I had to pick one, I would rather it was that way round.
I would rather it was that way round too. I am now getting to the stage where I have almost nothing left to wear and really urgently need either to lose some size or spend money on bigger clothes.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

HAS to be completely ignored...... ANY response is seen as a come on.Hypothetical conundrum:
At the end of a very long and drunken night out, someone emails someone else (email address found from invite to night out) expressing regret that nothing had happened between them that night, giving their mobile number and saying if you're ever around/ want to keep in touch let me know...
The person doing the emailing is a) married b) father. The other person isn't interested for reasons a) and b) and wouldn't be even if a) and b) didn't apply.
What would Nice People do? Assume emailer can't remember emailing and ignore? Something else?0 -
£1 also says that the chancer's emailed (copy/paste) to every person in the group ... and they won't have even been bright enough to work out who had a connection and might compare notes.0

On a positive note however, despite my rather large liquid lapse this week, and the scoffing of a couple of McDonalds breakfasts when Mrs McT wasn't around, I have lost another 3 kg.
You horrible.... man!
How can you drink like a fish, scoff Maccie D breakfasts, and lose 3kg?
IT'S NOT FAIR.

Hmm - My first thought is that it wouldn't worry me too much either way, I seem to eat a very boring repetitive diet already for cost and child friendly reasons.

Why child-friendly? Nothing child-firnedly about boring and repetitive diets, is there?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

I lost 2lb this week, and still have another 7 to 10 lb to go. Which makes me cross. My trouble is, I like eating. It's fun. And not eating makes me grumpy.HAMISH_MCTAVISH wrote: »I keep telling Mrs McT she has the body of an 18 year old.
So she should probably give it back before she gets it wrinkly....:D

Tennis balls were no good for Avatar-dog - he killed them within minutes - but the sort of "dog ball on a rope" that you can buy is much more solid and resistant to chewing.
The ones the collies chase are tennis ball sized, but not actually tennis balls, as they suffer a quick and fatal end at the collies' jaws, too.lostinrates wrote: »Dh took some photos of me with straight hair.
