    Silvercar, maybe you'd get away with retrofitting a stone surround around something in this manner?

    A whole group of trick-or-treaters spilled off the pavement right in front of my car. If only I'd had my wits about me, I could have scored a gouranga. But, sadly, my instincts took over, I braked sharply, and they all got away.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Oh, all over...mongrel spawn of mongrels. :) I am British too.....:)


    I was born here and came back here to go to school when I was a kid. My dad is British, ( well, his mother was irish, and his paternal family were english/ welsh...) my mother is not. ( or sort of). My mother is an uber mongrel. :)

    I've mever really worn earrings, only when I was a young teenager. My ears do not like having holes in. My mum was livid when I had them done.

    I ended up with two piercings in one ear because one side healed up and I thought I'd get best value by still having two piercings. Clearly, I was sufficiently young that I didn't just ask for one ear and a discount!

    I had my nose pierced when I wanted to be Tank Girl and nearly fainted near the bus station in Ipswich. There is no evidence of that piercing having happened now. Then I went with a friend to get our belly buttons done and I did faint after she had hers done. No more piercings for me.

    I was a rubbish goth.

    DH and I have a terrible phone line tonight.

    I thought he was saying 'I'm an onion' but I doubt it.

    A tattoo would probably kill my parents.

    When I had my ears pierced they were furious, really furious. Beyond words. My fathe told me he hoped I realised ' what I had done' and how I had 'closed doors of employment' to myself.

    So I had them pierced again ( I wasn't even sure i wanted the first holes) . Then they threw me out. Didn't take my calls for over a week:rotfl: Sibling, btw, had her ears pierced. I never worked it out either, its not favouritism, I certainly don't feel that. :rotfl:

    A tattoo would kill them......especially now they cannot throw me out:rotfl:

    That's funny:rotfl:

    My mum was furious when I had my ears pierced. I have no idea why. She is not anti-earrings, but anti holes in ears. Clip ons were her forte. She told me that if I was meant to have holes in my ears, God would have seen to it that I was born with them. Which was quite funny given that she is agnostic.
