VERY, VERY wise. That is the refrain of a well trained married man.

[mr_e]

If his training was even better would he have posted that? It implies too much!

Was it a comment on the missing apostrophe? What else was running though his mind? Quelle fromage!

Watch out for killer dogs if you're going to Sicily.

[Mike]

That is really giving Lizzie amunition about the whole not liking dogs thing. . . .

[stimpsonslostson]

Its not just dogs, I found this about a killer HAMSTER!

Hamsters a right little barstewards...I remember shortly after getting our first it running up my brother's arm, onto his shoulder, standing on his hind legs and taking a mighty chomp out of his ear lobe.

Oh how I laughed!

Slightly ironic that we welcome Amelia to the world on the day this article about needing to reduce the UK population in published.

Seen this story about the Chawner's a family who are too fat to work but to busy to diet. Interesting concept. The one that I found most annoying was the quote as follows:

I love TV. It goes on first thing when we get up and sometimes I am so tired from watching TV that I have to take an afternoon nap.

I have paraphrased slightly as I can't find the exact quote on the internet but the gist is the same. I wonder if the two articles could be combined in some way. I will refrain on saying how.

[stimpsonslostson]

I WON'T!
FOR F&*K SAKE!! (Sorry for the language Liz's Mum) GET OFF YOUR ABNORMALLY FAT ARSE AND GET A JOB!

This sort of thing really REALLY winds me up... they seem to think that waddling to the kitchen and watching TV is hard?! I'll swap em! (I bet any of us would!) I have to walk nearly half a mile round trip to go between my normal and microbiology labs, that'll soon make the weight fall off!

There are jobs out there for people, its more a question of people not being willing to actually do them! GGGRRRR!! Cleaning, Ewww... GROW UP! Its a job, its honest work, its excersise too! I suspect that someone could walk into their house and offer them a job and they wouldn't take it.

(Sorry Mike, you've touched a nerve there).

I WON'T!

(Sorry Mike, you've touched a nerve there).

Don't worry I think we all feel the same. Ironically they think that people us to many excuses to try and avoid work. This does not apply to them though (apparently).

Aaaarrrgggghhhh! I can feel my blood boiling as I type! Basically my taxes are being spent so that they can sit on their fat asses, stuffing their fat faces whilst watching tv (no doubt on a bigger and newer tv than any of us own) and complain about being tired.

There are a few people on my list for the 'First Against The Wall' competition I'm hosting when the revolution finally comes, but these guys have risen a couple of places in the last few minutes! There's a couple of fat cat bankers/stockbroker types for them to get past, but they seem to be doing well so far!

In this instance it appears to be a portable 20" ish borrowed from a friend. Still their story does not generally give you a feeling of sympathy for their 'plight'.

[Mike]

Granny Leave?! is this a step to far to expect the Grandparent to take two weeks of work to help their son / daughter to look after their new bundle of joy? To me it would be a bit strange. I think if the son / daughter wanted the baby they should be able to look after them! Two weeks is not really going to make too much difference - it would be better for dad to be off for a whole month.

Yeah right, they'll have just got that in for the story. In real-life they'll have a 50" plasma with surround sound to amuse them while they sit and turn into blobs.
