Actually, my vote is: Yes they are fine and will be interesting and Yes because it can lead to heated tempers

Nothing necessarily wrong with heated tempers.

What you mean I wasn't clear? Surely not? :wink:

I'm sorry, that was grim. Will try to refrain in future.

The squirrels in my roof have too many legs and they insist on using them to run about and wake me up in the middle of the night. Pants.

Pants is my swear-word of the month.

Except it's not a swear-word and I've been using it for more than a month. But it is a very usable expletive and especially useful here where things worse are not allowed. As you'll see from other posts, I never break the rules.

Has been a word for 'useless' for about 5 years now.

p.s. just to set the record straight, the squirrel was pictured in the Daily Mail.

I'll let darthmaul (or Ruth) ask the obvious question, it would just look stoopid coming from me.

Excuse me!

What question...? And we don't do records - we go digital. Care to join us in the 21st century anybody? :D
