In defence of gypsies.
Cagney The only time I've met Gypsies or Travellers in person was when I went to visit my sister in the Highlands. They'd set up camp on a roundabout (well...the path running round it) and they had dogs sleeping in wheelie bins, all their washing hanging out, bits of scrap metal everywhere etc. They were blocking the whole path which was the only way to walk to town from hers. If you wanted past you had to walk on the grass verge right beside the road. She works in the local supermarket and said... [ more ]
Former Member Reference: I think the safest thing to do, is 'ate the 'orrible ones and like the rest. Same as the rest of humanity. [ more ]
jonono Apparently my 'uncle Bill' was a gypsy. He had romany roots, he wasn't even my real uncle. Anyway all I know is he never finished a drink, always left a little in the bottom of the glass. it was a superstition. It was my aunt (who was going out with him at the time for many years) who told me he was Romany but she also told me that my cousin Paul was a monkey she stole from the zoo and shaved so I'm not sure whether to believe the gypsy claim.

Former Member Reference: For anyone who's not read the article, that's the essence of it right there. Well said Fracas And as for the report, well all the evidence I see in the pics, (as opposed to the report,) is of one room that looks stripped ready for decorating and a wheelie bin that's a bit overflowing, (and, I suppose, with 12 kids that's inevitable.)

cologne 1 I've been in lots of ambulances because my ex husband liked to kicked the carp out of me, lately I've been in a couple of ambulances because I had a chest invection and was on the verge of death. I have been in a police car (to my shame) in 1988 when I drove under the influence and crashed the car and I have been in a police car and a cell when I was drunk and peed off and sat in the middle of the road with my best mate and she played guitar and we were singing folk songs. A taxi stopped and... [ more ]
Leccy An ambulance crashed into my Dad's care and totalled it. They jumped out, asked if he was ok, when he said yes they said gotta go, jumped back in and sped off to whatever emergency they were en route to. He was fine...when the Police got there they chuckled about it. [ more ]

Woman gives birth to triplets. At 52 years old.
Former Member I don't know. Of course a 52 year old can be just a good a parent - Elton John has just adopted has he not? And if a 52 year old become pregnant naturally then it should be her choice as to whether she wishes to have the baby or not. However that is because it is nature. For a much older woman to have IVF to have a baby is not nature - it is science. The only other thing I can add is it could get confusing at the post office claiming pension and child benefit at the same time. [ more ]
Former Member Aye....good luck to her and the weans Think she could pull it off. [ more ]
Former Member Reference: A not very common story but getting more common. This woman in the link supposedly got pregnant 'naturally' at 51/52, (not sure if its true or not, because it's seems a bit of a coincidence that she just happened to have a multiple birth which almost always happens with IVF, ) but I guess it's certainly possible to have a natural conception in your early 50s. But is it too old to become a mother/parent? Here is the link to the story... I don't know where you get that idea from. [ more ]

Closed eyes
Former Member No you can't sneeze with your eyes open, and it's true that it is because it puts pressure on your eyes. [ more ]
cologne 1 I don't think it's possible to sneeze with your eyes open, kissing is another matter. Depends on the other person. [ more ]
Former Member Reference: Isn't there a myth that if you did sneeze with your eyes open, due to the force, your eyeballs would fly out of the sockets? I heard that too so googled it. It is a myth apparently but it is virtually impossible to sneeze with your eyes open, I have tried, [ more ]

Former Member Yep that's the thing. Same with the police, no Govt wants to go up against them as they need them. My ex Brother In Law works in the Cabinet Office and his work centres around HR and implementation of employment rights/law/condtions etc. I shouldn't think he earns anywhere near 50k a year although he's worked for the civil service for 30 years.

Bette Davis films... why are they never shown
Former Member This is something I've wondered for a long time... her films were on tv all the time when I was growing up ( I'm a 70's child ). But honestly, I can't remember a single film of hers being put on a mainstream channel in the past 10 years... she was THE sublime actress... but her films have disappeared off the tv. Why? Your film education isn't complete without a Bette Davis film i.m.o. Am surprised she hasnt been shown on Film4 during the day as they all seem to be pre 1960s and in bw. I am... [ more ]
Former Member Oh yeah!... I remember that one, where Bette played twins I would love to see it again. [ more ]
