Yamyam

Ok guys and gals,

Today is my day at college. Yes, you got it! I'm going back to college and finishing my pre-rec so that I can apply into the nursing program this spring.

Todays outfit will be: blue jeans, 4 inch black pumps and a satin, teal green shirt. Wish me luck!

Good luck with your course! Oh, and your outfit sounds great!

Well, being partly Welsh, I'd have to say that we have the real druids!

As for Gauls vs. native French peoples, as I recall from Asterix, Gaul is France, and hence the Gauls are French. Of course, Asterix is French, hence the portrayals of the English, Scots, Romans, and pretty much everyone else!

Yup! Nearly fell out of bed. It scared the heck out of me, too! Apparently, people turned up at Dudley police station in their pyjamas, wondering what was going on. No damage at my place, although a couple of things fell off shelves.

Best wishes & good luck to both of you!

Yeah, sure! I've got my own digital camera, but I'm not sure I'll have someone to take the photos! Count me in.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd be interested, PostCode. But a screensaver named for me - a dream come true

They're a bit urban for my liking. I'd be happy to see them with a lift. My brother wears boots like that, sometimes, but I've never quite seen the attraction myself.

Welcome, Reneé and Sue13! (And as for the accent, if you have a PC, hold down left ALT, and type 0233 on the numeric keypad)

....and this is a problem how?

:grin:

I was just thinking that. You don't need a deputy photographer, do you ? but seriously, you look great, MissyM. Wow!

So, you want one even bigger? How big?

I have friends with cable modems. How big have you got ? And I'm always up for more pictures of the lovely Missy M!

I guess that means that BT is useless, not the technology

I'm sure most of the UK will sing along with: "You don't know the half of it, mate!"

I'm glad you're happy. My parents raised me by my middle name too. It confuses the absolute heck out of everyone I come into contact with. I made sure I didn't pass that one on to my child. Oh, and the shoes sound great! I suppose that this being hhplace, I should mention shoes at some point

I'm not quite sure how this should be said, but I'm happy for you, as you're obviously happy. So, here's a reserved, English-style "yippee!" for you.

I've added another screen saver yamyam. Go ahead and check it out.

I'm just downloading it now! Would it be too much to ask for one 'mega-saver'? I really did have two machines going at one point, but I had to keep swapping the screen savers around. My day was most excellent, although I didn't get much work done

ADSL is useless. A good company will build a fiber broadband network with multiple hub sites, more nodes than than they need, and run it all on cable.

ADSL is pointless here in the UK, because our national telco (notional telco) won't do it. I live in the middle of the West Midlands conurbation, on a 500-home housing estate (at least) between three large towns, and I can see the BT cable box out of my kitchen window. But I can't have ADSL, because my area's too small.

But I can go for TeleWest cable modem arrangements, and I might just do that. I already use them for dialup and cable TV... Then I might try some Laurie-esqe power posting

I think someone has harvested the board for email messages. Of course I'd never spam anyone, but I've had several spam messages myself, and several bounce notifications too. So, I may end up throwing away this Hotmail account and signing up another one soonish.

Those definitely suit you, Renee!

I'm with FireFox - I like seeing fishnets! They are a bit gothic, I think, but also very sexy!

Happy Birthday from me, too. Do some :drinking: for me!

If Hawking admires women in heels, I think that proves something about the relation between heels and intelligence. There has to be something.

Well, I'm intelligent and I wear high heels, so I'd have to agree with you.

And yes, I admit, the brain is the most important thing for writing. I mean, a thousand monkyes on a thousand typewriters for a thousand hours are not going to put together what I can in five minutes, right?

True. They're all busy working as security guards

Um, without typing away too much, I think I found someone who sees me for me and likes me for me. He doesn't seem intimidated by the qualities but rather, very interested. But I won't say more right now.

I think men are intimidated by both the heels and the personality, and the blonde hair. But I may not care about it anymore. I think that if a man has confidence, then he'll find a way to see the good in those things, but anyone who has self doubts would be intimidated, yes.

I've got my fingers crossed for you!

Fair enough. I'm always amused by how poor customer service is here in the UK, and so I commented. I wrote my bit after spending an hour and a half trying to get ADSL out of BT, and failing utterly, because 'my area is too small!'

highnheels in italian sounds tacchi alti , boots is stivali and platforms is zeppe . bye

Don't we have a member called 'Tacchi Alti'?

I drive an automatic, naturally. I tried to learn manual, or standard as they call it here, back in University. I stalled about ten times in a row and gave up. So I figure I need proper lessons to master it. Not just someone saying "do this, now that" and laughing every time I stall.

Yeah, I did that too, when I started driving. Fortunately, I was about 14, and learning off the road, so it didn't matter. I've not driven an automatic much, so I've no idea how it compares. But I found clutch control hard in heels, especially platforms, as you need to feel what you're doing. Another reason to dislike platforms, I suppose

But Maryanne is right - if you're going to ride a bike, you're going to need to learn clutch control. I'm glad that when I tried learning to ride a bike, I'd already been driving for ten years, so I had clutch control learnt. (And no, I never finished learning to ride, and now I live somewhere too dangerous to learn again )

Nice wedges YY.

"High" praise indeed

not that far from the gadget shops.

Felt like blooming miles, by then. It was the most heel-wearing I'd done in a week, and by Thursday I was feeling the effects!
