That's a good plan. Its always worth leaving things to see if you feel the same way.

I have a Beautiful bedspread I love made out of tiny bits of saris. Its very beautiful but frays easily. . Its also very heavy. I used to like the weight of it but now cannot stand heavy bedspreads. One day it will protect a guest bed I hope, if not I'll hopefully find a friend who loves it. .

I'm not sure when, if ever, I'll get to see if again. Was at a shop in Westfield Stratford. Think this was the shop, though they don't seem to realise they have stores over here. This was the type of thing, so not a million miles from saris (but think the one I saw was cotton):

Flaws:
- beards
- so TWO beards



They're also annoying. They have that patronising voice tone often found on this type of programme.

That level of beard is my maximum. I was given a book of beards for my birthday from a friend who is a fan because I generally am not.

Patronising voice wouldn't be a problem (it is a bit jackanory isn't it). We could talk science together, or just not talk. Maybe we could drink instead?

Your thinking and criteria setting make me think you're just six months away from setting the bar at: "has a pulse"

That far?
But never my ex. Never ever.

What did people think of that Eurovision winner - the bearded lady bloke?

I know....laissez faire and all that....but, it's not a look I hope catches on really.

(Gillette would love it though... cue their laydee-beardee range)

1. It brought out the disgusting in er teen in me. My parents didn't like the situation, so I did.

2. I have no issue with gender play or different identification. I am just not sure who I am meant to call he or she in some situations ( that's a prime one...with out the beard I would have thought 'she' was wanted, but with the beard it was confusing' ) and do not wish to cause offence. It would be easier if the language has a non gender identifier that was not offensive.

3. It seems to me to be the epitome of Eurovision. If it cannot happen there where can it?

Beard hater here.... on anybody. The only time I find a beard acceptable is if it's a sideshow "Bearded Lady" and I think "Good on you love, milk those punters"

Beards make you look cool. Much like smoking or driving an old banger recklessly with the stereo at max and the windows down. Birds love it.

There was something recently (might already have been linked to in discussion on transsexuals/ cross dressing, can't remember) proposing a new title of 'Mx.' for those who want to remain gender neutral.

I have no issues with others people's gender identity or ambiguity, but until a suitable life event I'm a Miss. and not a Ms.

I googled famous Georgians and I knew Katie Melua, Stalin, Shevardnadze the politician and Kinkladze the footballer. CK somehow is not listed. :question:

Temur Ketsbaia is my favourite Georgian footballer. Totally mental. Best goal celebration ever (angrily kick the advertising hoardings to pieces for no reason whatsoever and then sulk).
