Good afternoon, Lena.Morning, everyone!
Trying to avoid reading Turkish news
Thank God, HM Government and the British taxpayer for BBC One.
The TORTOISE is so exciting. Just a note to self: no Tolstoy volumes for John, no live kittens for Ed, no raki bottles for Noel, a ton of chocolate for Bea and, of course, goat cheese for Adam. Oh, who is it gonna be?
Good afternoon, Linda.
So... No kittens, dead or alive, for Ed, regardless of their political affiliation. A bag full of whining kids is OK for Noel. All noted.Good afternoon, Lena.
Not sure that dead kittens would be much better.
Works for me
Likes:Good afternoon, Linda.
You could post a list of your likes and dislikes, too.
Just for fun.
Gosh!
They don't agree with my stomach
The only thing I can't/won't eat. Maybe. Although I encountered a right so and so at a meeting yesterday

I may have been 20 years older than him, but I am neither stupid nor lacking in technical knowledge. Talk down to me at your peril kiddo; I wasn't there as the tea girl. My colleague was struggling not to giggle as I ran rings round the idiot ... I had to avoid catching his eyes or I'd have cracked up too.
wifey is short and blonde and would sometimes be treated as a bimbo in the UK.It's sad to say this of 21st century Britain, but daughter came home from work yesterday saying she'd like just one day when she wasn't treated as a dim bimbo for being blonde and currently working at a petrol station.
She'd also like a day when no males said anything wholly inappropriate, verging on sexual harassment, to her.
All of this isn't cute to the young ladies concerned - it's threatening when it's from a stranger.
This isn't colleagues, this is customers who seem to regard the younger females working there as fair game. Most of the time she shrugs it off, but sometimes it's a wonder she hasn't reported a customer to the police
Have fun! Watch out for those rogue services
Don't really want to get into this, but if you have a strong stomach do feel free to search the news about a recently proposed bill in Turkey. It is now apparently withdrawn, but I believe it's just until a better time in near future.wifey is short and blonde and would sometimes be treated as a bimbo in the UK.
Here she is average height for a woman and being blonde gives you almost celebrity status.
However, the sexual harassment to women is appalling.
The youth football team was sent home from Sweden as the coach and several players assaulted several women, two competitors at the Olympics were sent home for assaulting chambermaids in separate incidents and here in the medina the staring and comments from men sat in cafes to passing women. Unbelievable.
That is being fully reported in the UK. It did beggar belief that it had been put forward as a bill.Don't really want to get into this, but if you have a strong stomach do feel free to search the news about a recently proposed bill in Turkey.

It was the same here. At least I'd like to think I don't know any person who could possibly support this twisted idea. Though I do know a woman whose son somehow married a 17-year-old. And a man in my neighborhood asked me whether my then 2-year-old was my daughter or granddaughter. I'm 33 and I don't look too old.That is being fully reported in the UK.

Oh, MY!!!!
