Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Growing old: 31 of 130
I live in a town in the south of England known as God's waiting room. People come here to die and then forget what they came for. I'm not quite old enough yet to be lining up to meet my maker. But age is starting to catch me up and letting me know that my spring chicken days are behind me. Isn't it ironic that the roman nume... More..
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: A trip to the dentist: 8 of 33
Popcorn seems such a harmless piece of food. Flowery and innocent, and a necessity for any good movie. Munching through the bowl of popcorn, totally engrossed as Clark Gable looks at Scarlet and begins that epic line; "Frankly my dear, I don't give a -" "S*". I just bit into a kernel of popcorn and chipped my tooth. Surprise... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Politics in the UK Abolishment of the British monarchy: 10 of 41
The British monarchy has as much use as an ex President. The monarchy, as ex presidents, have no power - but do have influence. Jimmy Carter probably has more power and influence now then when he held the office of President. In times of crisis, Presidents can call past presidents and ask for their input or advice. And why n... More..
Relationships & Family > New & Old Friends How to make a new circle of friends when you're married: 3 of 12
It is important if you are married to have married friends. Or at least couple friends in a serious relationship. The first place to start is in your own neighbourhood. You will be spending a great deal of time around the house and there is nothing better than knowing the people around you. We are all curious. We are curious... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Politics in the UK Has Tony Blair left new British Prime Minister Gordon Brown with a better or a worse UK to rule than when Blair started?: 3 of 12
Gordon Brown himself keeps answering this question. Every time Gordon Brown appears on the television, all he ever speaks about is change "It's time for change; I going to change this and change that; If policies need changing, I will change them". Which is quite ironic given the fact that Gordon Brown was one of the chief a... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Politics in the UK Should Britain keep the Union Flag flying?: 1 of 4
United Kingdom of Great Britain. United? I think not. It saddens me to say, it's time to go our separate ways. In many ways, we already have. I have never understood why Britain does not have a national team. When the football or rugby world cup comes around, teams from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are enter... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Economic Values Money cannot buy happiness and love: 37 of 140
Yes. Now remember the question, "Can money BUY happiness and love?" The question is not "Can money make you happy?" First let's focus on happiness. Happy, as defined by Webster's dictionary, is content, pleased or joyous. I am happy when I'm playing golf. Money has bought me membership into a golf club where I can play regul... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Politically correct or afraid to speak out? Finding a balance: 4 of 15
It's not so much a fear to speak out as it is of getting thrown in jail. The government is trying to stamp out racism by creating racists, statistically speaking. Thank God they changed the name of the restaurant chain from Sambo's to Denny's or we would all be getting locked up. Too many people look to be insulted when it i... More..
Home & Garden > Home Repair (Other) Bathroom remodeling: Bath or shower?: 3 of 11
An important issue to consider when choosing whether you should install a bath or shower, is how physically fit you are. Remodeling is a major upheaval and is not something you want to doing again in a few years time. As someone who fits bathrooms, I have replaced numerous bathtubs for people in favor of a shower cubicle sim... More..
Relationships & Family > First Dates How to impress a girl: 21 of 73
"What we have here-is a failure to communicate". Although the warden in the movie Cool Hand Luke' was speaking to his prisoners, that line can be used in when understanding how to impress a girl. Girls love communication. Without that simple element, a guy stands no chance. Of course women love to talk, but more importantly,... More..
