Apparently we all dream for one and a half hours out of every eight - but we only remember those immediate to waking up. If we go several days without sleeping, there has to be a catching-up procedure on the "dream quotient". The last dream that I remember was earlier this week, solely because it featured three friends from my days at University, two of whom have died in the last two years, ...

[em]cry[/em]Sticking my nose in where I don't belong again (maybe!). Get the anti-abuse fallout shelter prepared!From Jesse Ventura (known independent) on Sarah Palin: "If she quits before her time's up as Governor of Alaska, how long would she stay if elected President?". Maybe until she gets the first book offer?[em]lol[/em]Actually why has nobody come up with Tina Fay as a candid...

I am the shy, quiet, intellectual type who does not mix a great deal these days (I also had health issues last year, so I am careful to avoid anything that generates stress). I find writing messages on a Website suits me far better than sitting round with a room full of people and having next to nothing to say. Here I can choose my topics, reply to them politely, mix with others who wish ...

I think that he has good grounds for an appeal. The keys were not in the ignition, so any intent to drive was not obvious. He could even contend that he intended ringing someone else when he woke up, so they could drive him home, in case he was still partly intoxicated. And I cannot see that anyone sleeping in the back of the car (the front may be different) is really in charge of the v...

Hi Sandra,[em]confused[/em]I was thinking lemon meringue, but that's not ice cream. Lemon flavoured ice cream then .... To be licked off by? The Penthouse Playmate of the month, and/or her 11 predecessors? Given the fact that I had a heart attack last year, I might get too excited, or if I had just taken the required daily medication, not excited enough! And if my wife found out, another...

pink - trouble is the two shades of red look the same and sound very different (one of them has a distinctly East German accent which even after 20 years is unintelligible in the rest of the country as they never learned to Americanise the language[em]sad[/em] - though not as unintelligible as the new government's economic agenda), so one of them maybe should become pink. The new Foreign Min...

Hi Sandra,ice cream was not a major contributory cause to the heart attack, you can put that down to chocolate (my only real vice over the years, since my alcohol consumption I chose to limit to one or two beers max per day shortly after I got married in 2002). Eating three bars a day was not unusual. The ice cream would be spread on me before the orang-utan started licking it off. I re...

There is nothing in the teachings of Christ that should encourage anyone to take up arms and indulge in violence. Christ taught even: "love thy enemy as thy friend" and "turn the other cheek".[em]thumbup[/em]So Christians turning to violence are doing so out of cultural not religious reasons. This dates back generations - read the medieval classic "La Chanson de Roland" as an example. A...
