Here's my post replying to Moth
Thats an interesting article moth. Best not on the board or MRAs would be all over it!
I was wondering today, hopefully, if the news about darts getting rid of the girls means the overton window is shifting and maybe p0rn will become less acceptable?
If not all this hooha about F1 girls and the presidents club is just tinkering on the edges.

MissMoneyPlant, the foam ones that are meant to be twisted and go right inside the ear canal?

You might need to twist them up more before insertion.

If you mean the regular foam ones, they don't stay in for long, useless for me.

Sorry if that all sounds like an episode of Miranda.....!

sew

Im fairly sure ive seen you being infuriated Grin

(That link was for ear plugs by the way)

SewSwiftly · 16/05/2018 19:30

Haha, just about calmed down now thanks Rufus. Maybe I'll go look up an ep of black books just to make sure.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 16/05/2018 19:44

You should watch number one

With the little book of calm

That'd work

SewSwiftly · 16/05/2018 19:56

Cued up! Smile

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 16/05/2018 19:57

Thanks Rufus
I was so tired doing my workout DVD I forgot to switch legs....now I have one very sore butt cheek. Blush

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 17/05/2018 20:46
Grin

And i bet you're too tired to exercise the other one twice as much

NoMorePills · 17/05/2018 21:06

Well I thought about it because I don't like feeling unbalanced....!

I've just remembered a greeting card I got but can't find the image, wanted to post it in reply....

It's a cat at the vet in a yoga pose and he's telling the vet "it hurts when I do this". Sorry, doesn't work without a pic....

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 17/05/2018 21:08

This is one of the signs in my kitchen

Oh thats a bit dark

The rabbit is saying

I fear that the murderer may still be among us

DisturblinglyOrangeScrambleEgg · 17/05/2018 21:10

I'm a lifelong Londoner. Open spaces and parks are all "locked up" at dusk, or they have been where I've lived. Is that normal across the country? I am guessing not?

My answer is 'it depends'

If you're in a city, and it's an official park, within walls (so to speak - ie. within the town), with fences, and mown and stuff, then yes, often they shut for the night.

If you're talking about a more free-form thing, outside of an actual town, like a large country park, or public footpaths, then no (just watch for which ones are dogging spots)

NoMorePills · 17/05/2018 21:13

Rufus, you seem surprised by your own picture?

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 17/05/2018 21:21

Im surprised at the shadow Grin

Stupid lights!!

DisturblinglyOrangeScrambleEgg · 17/05/2018 21:24

Nothing to do with feminism, but, my adverts on the right hand side are trying to sell me a perfume from 'house of sillage' - now, even with 2 'l's that doesn't appeal :D

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 17/05/2018 21:29

Dont get ads as i have adblocker

I did say i would switch it off

But I obviously lied, or can't remember how to do it...or can't be arsed

One of them

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 17/05/2018 21:29

But i agree

Sounds like a dreadful perfume ad Grin

DisturblinglyOrangeScrambleEgg · 17/05/2018 21:32

yeah - I ad blocked once, but can't be bothered now..

This is why, in my work life, I make sure people have run stuff by native speakers before we make any firm decisions on names in foreign markets... I've heard too many horror stories.

NoMorePills · 17/05/2018 22:04

Rufus, I thought you meant the sentiment was dark Grin

Waddlelikeapenguin · 17/05/2018 23:33

NoMorePills that's how I read it too Grin
I sent that card to my uncle he enjoys cats & has a very very dark sense of humour so went down well.

The first rufus pic made me properly laugh as did nomore's uneven bum

NoMorePills · 17/05/2018 23:46

I dint even see the card as dark, just hilarious
It's my friends birthday next week, I'm searching for it online as she'd love it but no joy

Me and my uneven bum must go to bed....night pub goers.

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 18/05/2018 09:44

No it was just the shadow

Its a birthday card so I completely embarrassed myself in the card shop with a fit of giggles

And i love that cat...boy does it look pissed off

NoMorePills · 18/05/2018 22:35

back from a night out at 10pm

This makes me happy Grin

It's only because my friend has a cold which I kind of wish she'd told me because I don't want a cold....
