I've been with the girlfriend now for nearly 14 years, and we have 2 beautiful daughters, one, Samantha, is eight on Christmas Day, the other, Ronja is three 2 weeks later. Kirsten is 34, and even though she has had quite bad epilepsy since she was about 7 years old, she's been a wonderful mother to them both. Since Samantha was born, Kirsten has had a lot more medical problems, and after Ronja, it got even worse, her eyesight has got very bad, she has big problems with her joints, and now suffers from severe migranes, which bring on bad epileptic seizures. She just brushed it all off and took it in her stride, but she finally listened to friends and relatives, and went to the doctor for tests. Well, the results came back today. She's been diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. There is currently no cure. The doctor told her that she will probably be totally blind within a couple of years, and they have no way of knowing how bad she'll be physically, but she definately will deteriorate, probably needing liver transplants due to the high dose medication she'll be on for that and her epilepsy, and whilst it's not a death sentence, it's certainly a possibility. Lupus kills one in twenty within the first five years from diagnosis, rising to one in four within 20 years, there's no proper figures over 20 years yet. Even after being told all this, and a lot more, she started to make jokes about being able to have a "white dog and a blind stick", and knowing all along that she was a bit Psycho. Right now, we're keeping it away from the girls, they don't need to know for a while, and Samantha probably wouldn't understand yet, let alone Ronja. I haven't told her yet, but I decided earlier today that with the money I'll be getting from my house sale in Wales (around 200K), I'm going to take her to as many as possible of the places in the world that she has said over the years that she'd like to visit, while she can still see them. Kirsten and the girls are staying at her parents place this weekend, and I'm not working tonight, so I'm spending a little time on my own with my second best friend, Glen Fiddich. Here's to the future, it's going to be one hell of a bumpy ride.

It will still be fine if it's in an aerosol can. I have a few 2 litre bottles that I've had for about 6 years, and they are still OK, even though they've been opened, as long as you replace the cap tightly, and keep it in a cool (ish) place out of direct sunlight, it'll still last for years in those.

But doesn't it ONLY work if you use an iBone, it's still bugger all use with any other phone or source

Another downer for the iBad... You can't use Bluetooth to transfer pictures/files/music from your phone etc :thumbs-down1: Apparently it only supports headsets, music streaming and keyboards....

... and check out the MAJOR problems people are now finding with IOS 5 :Winky:

Tab.

Does anyone still use a Gmail address :Hmm: I dumped mine yonks back. A whole load of forums and sites have banned them for sign ups.

All we need now is a couple of posts from CT and KFF :Cool:

Forget the Bolshevik Broadcasting Corporation.... Clicky me for nice info

Running up a (genuine) fake ID is a piece of piss as well :Smiler:

A change of name by Deed Poll is your friend, it's perfectly legal, and it DOESN'T have to be recorded anywhere or notified to anyone, well, ish :Hmm: You just forget to use your new name for anything other than the bank account :Winky:

I got this from a friend on another forum: I've done my bit, do any of you want to help too :Cool:

Surely you mean cynical :Fun:

I just read this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2039453/How-America-planned-destroy-BRITAIN-1930-bombing-raids-chemical-weapons.html#ixzz1YcCS5mvj Scary stuff really, but then a thought occurred to me . . . . was it only the rise of Nazism and Fascism that prevented America undertaking the plan ? Did Hitler and Mussolini save the British Empire and stop America murdering millions of British people with chemical weapons ? I wonder how the historians would explain that ! :cha-ching:

Unlike when the Rozzers do something wrong, DNA and forensic evidence would have you "bang to rights" in no time at all. I'd be tempted to think the same way, but I've dealt the hard way with the Plod Dorset Jackboot Goons, so think carefully about it and come up with a really plausible method. I do agree with the guy being initially arrested, as Plod have to "investigate" the circumstances of any suspicious death, but I do hope that he has no charges brought against him. AND, if you think that it's not a suspicious death, just think outside the box for a moment . . . what would happen if you had an argument with someone, dragged/lured them into your your house, and killed them. Then you call the Filth and claim you caught a burglar in the act . . . . you can bet it's going to happen somewhere, sometime, when/if they change the law.

Trial by press. They could never print/publish that while he was alive, so they get away with (possibly) tarnishing his image now he can't take any action against them for it. Unless someone comes forward with proof, and I suspect that will never happen as if there really was any solid evidence he would have been charged, I prefer to assume that I never read that article.

Take it easy mate and have a good time and a safe trip. If you're going via Basel, then take care on the Swiss motorway down to Italy, they are very keen on the speed traps and will fine you heavily for being even slightly over the limit AND, be very careful in northern Italy especially around Milan, the drivers there really are out to KILL you

We have a comedian in our midsts :Smiler:

I don't have an iBone, but I have lots of friends that do, that I didn't have the phone number for, well I do now.

If you have a friend with an iPhone, and they have the Facebook iPhone ap installed, and they have your phone number in the phone, it's listed. And there is nothing you can do to stop it yourself, the only way to de-list it is for your friend to uninstall the ap !! It also cross links through the system, so if someone has you as a Facebook friend, but doesn't have your phone number, it will update their contacts with your number.

I would like to share an experience with you all, to do with drinking and driving. Some of us have had brushes with the authorities on our way home... Well I, for one, have done something about it. The other day I was out for a lunch with friends and having had far too much wine, I did something I’ve never done before. I took a bus home. I arrived home safely and without incident, which was a real surprise, as I have never driven a bus before...

ALL THE PHONE NUMBERS of your contacts are now on Facebook! No joke - go to the top right of the screen, click on Account, then click on Edit Friends, go left on the screen and click on Contacts to see for yourself. All phone numbers are published if the contact has it in their details! !

Found this on my travels, quite an interesting viewpoint :Winky:
