    Maybe you should leave the loins out of this for the moment - after all NDG has JUST HAD A BABY...
    Not making fun of lir's typing, just couldn't resist that one..

    Having just got an ipad, I can see that half of the problem is the dreaded auto-correct. LIR may well have typed lion's share, but auto-correct thought that loins share was to be preferred.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    You really are much kinkier than I had previously imagined. Whole new depths to you have become apparent just from that one posting.

    I've officially "gone up in the world". Just transferred my contents insurance including the cost of removals insurance ... and the term is longer than this original insurance policy.

    So, they have cancelled my old/shorter policy and put in place a new/longer policy which includes the "risky" removals process. Same goods..... and I got a £4 refund.

    So, at the end, I asked him "Is it cheaper as I own, not renting? Or is it location-based?" and he said the reduced premium is due to the new location .... so that must mean I'm moving to a "better area".....

    :)

    If I were German, I'd be ashamed of that match. My point is that they could just have won. They didn't need to humiliate the Brazilians.

    If somebody at the kids' kindergarten did something wrong, the lady in charge would ask "Was that kind?", and the offending child would look suitably sheepish.

    That reminds me (thanks Pastures), if second hand clothes cannot be classed as gifts, what about antiques and antique jewellery? Could that work GDB? Apologies if someone has already suggested, I skim read 15 pages to catch up yesterday.

    I'm not sure it's as rational as that at the moment, but thanks for the idea.

    Groin thrusting, eh? You could go the whole hog and do a little twerking. We house owner always like to twerk.

    That's the last thing I expected you to say! :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I don't see why - it's top-class football, not primary school.
    It's GT Day ..... don't cross anything, that might jinx it :)

    I'm not even thinking about it.....
    ...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'.

    Sorry GDB, I'm with NDG on this one. If it had been England playing and they'd come out and coasted in the second half I'd have been pretty annoyed.

    If Brazil are trying to get back in to the game then Germany should be doing their best to make sure they don't. The best way to do that is to score.

    I'm glad Germany won. This Brazil team is horrible to watch: kicking and diving constantly.

    Perhaps Pele can help with their dodgy semi (if you recall the ads).
