When I wore tights this time last year for my last day of school, I noticed my leg hairs started protruding through the tights, with which I was none too impressed. I'd quite like to shave my legs just for the sensation but I'm not sure I'd do it given my current situation (living at home with family) and I don't think I'd do it at this time of year either. I like wearing shorts and I'd prefer to keep my leg hair on for short-wearing! SH

Absolutely no comment whatsoever [2] At least they're black.... Just please don't wear them with white or bright red *wooly* socks, fishnets, and white jeans that go 2/3 of the way down your calves [1], otherwise I may have to take a long dive from the top of my tree.... And I'm not a flying squirrel! (Cool tho that would be...!) I like my kittens to be purring on my lap while I stroke them... and NOT under my feet! SH [1] This is what I've seen at college - and worse. [2] Um, yeah, that happened.

LOL No my surname isn't Public! I'm thinking about seeing if I can get away with wearing my favorite pair of ankle boots. Currently, I wear boots with 2.5 inch block heels and I would love to wear my other pair of boots that have a 4 inch stiletto heel. I suppose that would be in keeping with all of the musical luminaries that have been mentioned, just not sure whether I'm brave enough!

Just as long as you're not the drummer, then you could do stilettos easily! I've drummed in heels before. It's do-able, and sometimes I prefer it to drumming in flats. Higher heels are better than low heels on that one. But I was wearing block heels with rubbery soles, not stilettos with little grip... so if you drum in stilettos, expect your feet to slip off the pedals and some torn drum skins! I don't think Evans or Remo drum heads come with any stiletto protection!

And if you're a guitarist/bassist... make sure you're using Boss pedals as they can take anything... including stilettos (not that I've tried, but I know they would!)

OK, perhaps pedantry on my part, but why would you want a *useful* gap filled?

Yup, definitely pedantry... Although I see your point. Of course you realised what Firefox meant to say was that it is a useful gap-filler

I've been slacking recently... and as such I've dropped below a couple of others (namely Bubba136 and possibly Dr Shoe) who not too long ago I was infront of... I power posted to get to my 750+, and then sort of withered for a while... I think I'm still withered unfortunately! SH

Shock of all shocks they did that on a physics exam I had today

The question was something like

"Explain why... xxx obey's Hooke's law"

The invidulator issued a correction at the beginning of the exam... But for an exam board of all things to make a mistake like that... tisk.

It tick's me off no end, so many apostrophe's. Whenever theres and S theres an apostrophe.

sticky buns! (A note to americans - a sticky bun is a cup cake with sticky icing (frosting) on top)

the cat appeared

Moo.

Adding to the t-shirt quotes, my brother has a couple: My brain works like lightening - one flash and it's gone! and one about reality, but I forget the exact phrasing. I'll post when he next wears it! SH

Oh, and I think there should be an Apostrophe Misuse Act .... but I'll save that for another rant SH

Right... that's me sold. *whips out a copy of Kazaa lite* (it won't be available in the cinemas anymore... and yes, I know that's a pants excuse for using Kazaa...) Sounds like a cool movie! SH

Ok, I accept there aren't enough differences between UK English and US English to catagorise US English as a different language. But there are differences between the languages that are substantial in places, and then there are little differences too. There are some things over here that you wouldn't want to say in America for fear of being arrested (how many american old ladies do you find going into sticky bun shops?!)... and similarly over here I've heard americans say things that have got some very strange looks and comments (namely "alphabetized" actually...). What really gets to me is the fact that some people (and I've noticed this particularly of Americans in general) seem to think that America is the be all and end all of the world and that everyone should be like them (I admit it can be the same with the UK). But I'm treading dangerous ground here, especially for 12:40am, and I'm starting to turn this into a political rant, so I'll shut up. Anyone fancy throwing me a rope? I'm done with the shovel... SH

Well I'm 17 and have no problems, so ! On a more serious note, welcome and enjoy yourself! SH

(And I remember what you mean about audio and waste disposal working!)

Surely the job of waste disposal is that of the parents?!

Alright, I'm being pedantic!

Congrats Lion Just be careful your cub doesn't bring back any stray zebras...

Do I hear an echo?! Welcome ychelle! I know what you mean about the few that spoil it for you (and generally teens whose minds are not particularly open - maybe a crowbar would help?!)... such is life, and like you say, we carry on because we can wear what we like! SH

Very nice outfit. Particularly the skirt... Although I'd prefer plain leather pumps rather than patent... but that's just me...! Welcome to the board Maja! SH

Sorry Yam, I'm no psycoanalist (or however you spell those stupid psycotic words)... Although to explain myself a little further I would say things like parents nagging me to go to bed, films that have to be watched, ebay items to be bid on, time spent with girlfriend, very busy with church things at the moment... I'm definitely enjoying it all... I could just do with a few more moments (and appropriate reminders) to keep up to date with this place. *sigh* such is life. SH

I think the same applies to me too, for the most part. However, I will walk any distance in any height heels (that I own). Mainly because whatever I wear I'll probably be going to college or town, which is always the same walking distance. And I don't mind this. Since most of my heels have chunky heels, (my slimmest are 1 in wide), and are very stable, they don't really affect where I walk, except maybe up/down steep banks at college! I'm comfortable wearing any of my heels, no matter what the height, so the height does not dictate to me like it might to others who aren't as practiced. SH

I'm not interested in sex purely for religious reason. I have plenty of sexual desires and plenty of hormones rushing around telling me I should be having sex, I'm just opting out. As is my girlfriend for the same reasons. SH

By the way, to take ridiculousness to a new level, there was a newspaper report telling about a policeman in New York City gave a restaurant worker, who was sitting on a milk crate in the ally outside the back door of his restaurant, a ticket for "unauthorized use of a milk crate." Apparently, this "misdemeanor" crime carries a $100 fine. Wow, sleep well, your police, prepared to protect society from the most heinous and despicable crimes imaginable, are on duty.

WHAT????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's things like these that drive me crazy.

In the Daily Mail yesterday I read an article about a woman who had parked her car illegally. She came back from bingo, and she expected a ticket. Two Police officers were standing next to the car, and she thought she was going to get a ticking off from them for parking illegally. Instead, they told her that her son's TOY sword on the back seat should be moved into the boot (trunk), because it could be mistaken for a real sword (oh get away! Since when does a plastic toy sword look real?!). When she refused they threatened her with arrest for carrying a dangerous weapon.

How rediculous is that? ANYTHING can be turned into dangerous weapon! Even a newspaper! "Please, arrest me officer! I'm carrying a newspaper!" How STUPID are the Police?! Don't they have anything BETTER to do?! I mean come on... it's a PLASTIC TOY SWORD! If I was the boss of those Police officers, I would give them a severe ticking off for being so daft and wasting Police time. COME ON! Even petty theft deserves more Police time than that...!

I am impressed by people, such as yourself, Tom (NL) and several others, that can communicate so effectively in a language that isn't your native tongue. We, those of us with English as a native language, are the lucky ones. Afterall, we don't have to struggle trying to translate from one language to another.

Yes, I echo that. Being the lazy, non-studious type that I am, I'm quite glad I don't have to learn another language. I'm glad that English seems to be the international language now, even if it isn't the easiest of languages to learn (so I'm told). That's a point... that's probably why some Brittens and Americans speak bad English, because it is a difficult language to learn. I bet a far higher percentage of Germans, French, Spaniads, Finns etc speak their native tongue better than Brittens and Americans speak English... (if you follow me!)

Bert, I read through your post, and apart from 1 typo, it appeared to be flawless English. If it wasn't for your location saying "Finland" I would assume you were British or American. Of course, I suspect you have an accent, so that wouldn't work so well in person or on the phone.

But, as has already been said, as long as it can be understood, that is the main thing.

Well I dunno about you, but I write using my fingers and a keyboard! I can't promise keeping it up for long... It's likely it'll be sporadic for the moment... distractions always seem to be looming round the corner! I'm sure you know what I mean! SH

Spandex?! Is this a best of Star Trek legs competition too?! What qualifies as the best legs? Ones that are best shaped, least hairy, etc? Cos I'm not losing my leg hair over this...! SH

Lion, you have one neat collection I like it! Things get out of hand at my house, but none of it as impressive or as TIDY as that lot! I think you've given me something to aim for! What specs are the machines and networking hardware? SH
