I was thinking earlier, that may have been one of the most pointless laws to push through in a panic ever.
Surely an ultrasound would have saved a fair amount of money?I hate having nails long, too, but I can't, because of netball. They check your nails before every match (-:
Seriously?
They have a nail inspector?“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

I'm always amazed that Sweden which in my day was always seen as a bellwether country whose ideas would percolate to the rest of us (but wouldn't reach the UK till we saw California doing it) still had a monarchy that only had male succession. :cool:There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -

The umpire checks everyone's nails just before the first centre, and woe betide anyone's nails being long enough to scratch someone else!...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 -

DH has bought his guitar. It is a leftie. Thanks for the advice everyone. He managed to get a deal on an Epiphone Les Paul (I have no idea what this means), which hopefully he will enjoy playing. This is good news. He used to be a drummer, but it's hard to drum quietly, while he can strum away on an electric guitar and listen back through headphones. Preferably in a different room. And if he's really bad, in a different house.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

Big year for us, 2013. We won Wombledon, we're beating the Aussies, we've had a baby boy, and Nikki has had an offer accepted for a house.
No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
Kind of weird to imagine that Princess Diana would be being called Gran by now.:eek:
That was so not her image when the royal wedding happened. Way way back when the internet was in black and white and cheeseburgers cost a penny.There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -
Give the poor little sod a chance - he's a few hours old, all he'll be saying for a while is "WWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"...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

When my friend's son was a little boy, he referred to any event he knew of from recent history as being "in the black and white days".
He had seen old telly programmes and that had formed a watershed for him.0 -

Yes, but will it sound like he has a plum in his mouth at the time?“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
