So off to the Job Centre he went
As all his savings were spent
They said 'B&Q?'
He said 'that'll do!'
The wages will help with my rent

I think it is a 'Free for all' out there..
It would seem that no-one is sure who , or what, they will end up in bed with at the end of the evening..

I don't watch any soaps.. anymore..

They wouldn't have caused problems way back..
Teddy Boys.. Skin Heads.. Wouldn't put up with it .. :nooo:

We have become a weak country.. 
We need a few Vigilante groups.. 
If our police are not in control of our streets... and they are not..

I am sure the US had vigilante groups riding their subways a few years back..

🤢 very explicit k.

I'm friendly with a lesbian and her partner. Two nice women.  I didn't know she was gay until she introduced me to her partner.  I really don't care except when it's as klondike says.  I have a different view re some men who decide they are women, especially in sport, or at the start of a trial! Never minded Hayley in Corrie. 😊

I'm not overly fussed by homosexuals. Just so long as they don't ram it down my throat  :rolleyes:

I live on a lighted main road. Admittedly they're only led lights and about as bright as a pound shop torch gaffer taped to a pole but you can still see OK. If they can see to open the gate they'll see the box. I do have a PIR activated lamp in the porch to light up the keyhole but even Stevie Wonder would see the box in just the street lights.

I didn't know they were fussed about Ibuprofen. Paracetamol has been limited to a couple of packets for ages. They used to sell tubs of 100.

Amazon put the Lithium battery warning labels on when it's only alkaline AA and you have to put one on for returns. If it's a return via Royal  Mail they have to pick it up. I've seen AAs leak or go mouldy but never catch fire.

Quote from: Mups on August 30, 2025, 10:23:49 PMI am not so sure I would call it 'Normal,'  JB.

 I think males/females were originally designed with compatible sexual organs in order to reproduce and keep the human race going to provide future generations.  Same as most other animals have to make their future generations too.

However,  two males or two females are not compatible for making babies,  so probably aren't what our Saviour had in mind at all.

I can fully understand two people of the same sex growing very fond of each other,  after all,  I'm sure most of us have (or had)  friends who we loved dearly,  but not in a sexual way. 
 It's just the intimate thing  with a partner of the same sex that I struggle to accept.




I quite agree, Mups.  It isn't 'normal' because the 'norm' is male or female.  Physically, there is no doubt.
Perhaps I should have said 'it is accepted'.  I also accept that it may be a mental effect which is beyond a person's control.  It could also be a mental change due to something seen or experienced.

In all honesty, I ought to mention that 'our saviour' doesn't fully chime with me because, although I was born and brought up as a Christian, I am a born again atheist!  😉
