    Kay summed it up for me, why blokes on here are so against baffles me, must be top alpha males who's genes must continue, the choice is down to the woman who's carrying the foetus in my opinion. 

    termination is a very emotive subject full stop, I dont think habitual use of drugs to end a pregnancy is or should be a form of birth control . but is it any worse than going & getting the morning after pill after a random night of passion , I imagine the 200 thousand odd recorded terminations on record would be a lot more if you couldn't get the morning after pill .

    The one aspect of all this I do struggle to get my head around are IVF patients having selective terminations of so many eggs that have fertilised, its an odd one to understand , its like eugenics to me , I know they justify it by saying it gives the fetus's that are left a better chance of survival .

    Maybe men just see the baby that would be born at the end of a pregnancy , as a woman I felt nothing until I felt the baby move inside me , I am a lot older now than I was when I had to have one & my attitude was I need to get back to normal & carry on like nothing happened, its a coping mechanism I guess 

    Now I am older & have a grandson I feel more inclined to be in the '' are you 100% sure its what you want camp  rather than 100% for or against it

  2. I got my pup eukanuba for the first 12 momths it lasts ages i think since i had her at 8 weeks it cost me 75 quid for 3 bags.... i switched to to adult now she is 12 months old ...hardly any poo to clean up & she has thrived on it ...i do give her frozen tripe & chicken twice a week as well she has it frozen ...she also has left over veg off our dinner & i always give her any fatty bits off the meat

  3. some of these old boys are surprisingly well able to handle themselves , some yrs ago an old lad who ran a local gym was taking the weeks takings to the bank just down the street from his place & he was jumped by 2 young blokes & he floored the pair of them ,he was well in his 70's & very fit 

    cant believe the police have tugged the old lad ... its a disgrace

    I thought that putting cash in meters was back from the middle ages !! How do they work now? Why has anyone got one ?

    this meter i have got is a pay as you go basically....i stick whatever amount i want onto my account online ... so rather than a static 12 monthly payment by direct debit for £ 60  for dual fuel all year i pay for what i use... so in the summer i might only stick a fiver on the gas to cover the standing charge for a good few months then when the heating gets use i just stick on what it needs to cover the higher usage 

     

    it frees up money for me in the warmer months & its not in there bank account :victory:

    the only reason its more money now is the unit price of elecy keeps going up....its going up again soon we had a letter last month....

    we have one its far easier than going to the shop and getting money on a key as we are on prepaid....just do it online ....mind you the site is often down wich can be a fecker when your down to your last few pence....

    but the benefit is you get £20 emergency rather than a fiver like the old days....and even if you go over that in an eavening it will not go off till 11 am the next day....

    however if you go over the £20 emergency ...you have to put this massive 20 didgit type code number in to the metre...and that code is difrent every time you go over

    I love & loath this token meter in equal measure....I moan all winter as i am topping up all the time but once the heating goes off a tenner a month does the gas :laugh:..... I think I rather have it that way than paying £ 60 a month all year DD

  6. I have got one & i seem to be feeding it all the time ..mine tells me nothing other than how quick the balance is going down .. I was thinking the other day my council tax & gas/ electric is nearly as much as my mortgage was monthly .

    maybe its just because i can see it in the house but when i had my old meters i didn't stick as much cash in them or didn't seem to :sad:

    I can't believe it's because you've been on 'specialist' sites, Kay ? Please don't shatter my last remaining illusion............

    They would come in your garden and lift it away on thier backs to the wagon, then return it. Some won't even empty them these days if the lid won't shut. They used to take anything left at the side of the bin too, as my old man discovered one day, even if you'd just propped it there for a while ? 

    Everyone seemed a lot happier in the 50,60 and 70's, milkman would whistle, everyone would say "morning", the grocer, butcher and Baker would know you by name. We didn't need to recycle because we used it again or returned it!

    I could go on about the "good old days", but.  Sure technology has improved our way of life, but the population as grown, and we're all wanting to better our way of life. 

    The bin men here are quite good, well the ones on the round at the min are, they do tend to change regular , i guess running behind a bin wagon aint for anyone but the young & super fit:laugh:... I have found the net invaluable to get my grocery's delivered ... but its not a new idea , meat, milk, mail, bread , coal , the paper was all delivered when I was a kid. my mom shopped daily at the corner shop for the rest 

    Its pretty much what I do now , once a month for frozen & tins etc & the co op for milk & bits a pieces  & the paki shop for bread , I inherited my moms frugal outlook on life , she makes stuff rather than buys brand new, I have always re purposed stuff & given them a new lease of life, thats what my mom did in the 70's when I was a kid 

     

    99% of the birthday gifts I give to folks I have made out of summat, I loved my childhood it was a slower pace & folks had time for you

  10. I was having a convo with me Mother today about how life used to be , it started when we where on about the amount of plastic we get. bottles etc, I said folks in the 60& 70's had 1 metal bin that was emptied each week.

    we composted, the milk man had the glass bottles back, you grew your own veg , the dog had the scraps, we had bread delivered in a wax wrapper & meat off the butcher that was wrapped in white paper, that all  went on the compost heap, none of this 3 bins malarky.

    You had your gas of the gas board , electric off the MEB your phone was BT if you was lucky enough to have one... your fence lasted for decades as it was creosoted in engine oil , no internet or mobiles , you could get a doctors appointment... if you had to go in to hospital they where spotless clean & run efficiently & if matron said jump you said how high 

    Folks today are to busy '' cashing out'' :thumbs:

  11. well I have had the pup nearly 10 months , she will be 12 months in a couple of weeks, she has had her first season, she has ended up whippet sized & quite cobby in shape , a good little house dog & very active, she is still very boisterous & not good off the lead , far to easily distracted & a bit frustrating at times... I am learning to be patient with her ... she is slowly getting better with comamnds :laugh:DSCN9267.thumb.JPG.ecca441b75ee3c3b3f83a412ca9c9f4a.JPGDSCN9266.thumb.JPG.7d75186fadf81aa64e114af1f8eee2e0.JPG

  12. I feel happier now I have a dog that barks , when I had my greyhounds they rarely made any noise & would have been useless if there was an intruder , this pit x bitch I now have is very vocal & although she may not go for an intruder , just her bark might be enough to make people wary

  13. I think it means a hell of a lot to ordinary folk . you hear of people who have fostered 100's of troubled kids over decades & lots of people who give up there time in the voluntary  sector getting OBE's 

     

    Then you have the likes of Beckham who spit his dummy because he wasn't knighted for work he allegedly does for charity ... if your only doing a bit of charity work because you think it will get you a gong then your a c**t IMO

    Yea I agree Kay how many of us would have the guts to carry on with such a debilitating decease.  RIP  Stephen Hawking.

    Cheers Arry

     

    your right there, he was by all accounts a very funny man & didn't take himself to seriously , he had backed a group who planned to take on the government over the NHS & it was going to happen After 14th March ... ironically the day of his death.... they have to see it through now
