Cheers guys - I'm not too sure about the name Dolly though, maybe it'll grow on me. My daughter did say that's not a definite, so if I tell her that her baby is named after a cloned sheep, that might tip the scales :)
Btw Marco, if you can get a baby to sleep in your car, you're not driving it properly! :D And rearranging a baby's innards with sub bass may not be conducive to restful sleep. Good fun though.
I know your all dying to know how I got on with my new Pincinox clothes pegs...? (! :rolleyes:) Well, I bought another load, they are so good. I know I am sad, but they are brilliant in their simplicity, and have a lovely "action". Hopefully I'll never have to buy another clothes peg again in my life (until they get nicked!)

You need to it's a terrible name.Quote:

It was a Citroen 2CV variant as well.
Short for Dorothy i think. Was a very popular name for years. Think it means gift of god or summat like that.

note: People who like the name Dolly also like:
Daisy, Dixie, Destiny, Grace, Violet, Isabella, Chloe
William, Caleb, Cody, Drake, Beau, Jackson, Ian
Beau! And whilst 'Destiny' might be a great name for a futuristic female fighter pilot it doesn't really work if you're growing up on a council estate in the West Midlands. Or most other places for that matter.
i went to school with a Grace and a Violet. william is a family name with me. the others are mor modern bar ian and isobella, which is mostly shortened to isobel.
beau? you jest surely:eyebrows:
You could only get away with most of those names if you had a porch with a rocking chair on it and a shotgun cradled in your lap.Quote:

Such names give children character. I recall a country song from my youth about, “a boy named Sue”, apparently his father gave him this name to make him tough.Quote:

Maybe she’ll go by that?
My sister’s name is Claudette, (my dad’s name is Claude) so her middle name is Lynn, and that’s the name she has always gone by. So glad I wasn’t born first, or I’d be Claude Jr.

I think Boris was in town today, I had no idea. I'm glad I stayed in and missed the circus though :lol:
seem to be suffering from hayfever now.:doh: pollen count is supposedly higher than normal up here.
Watching the Boris v Hunt debate I am glad I'm not a Conservative party member - the choice might as well be which eye you would like gouged out with a spoon...Quote:

I think Hunt has come on stronger and answered more questions directly - but I suspect a lot of members will already have voted in favour of Boris - I think it might be closer than first expected.
I have to admit to not following it in any great detail, from what I have seen though Hunt comes across as a more suitable candidate, but as you say it looks as though Boris is favourite.Quote:

Me neither, Boris still comes across as a buffoon (couldn't even appear on national TV with his tie straight or his hair brushed) but "people" tell me it is all an act and he is very clever. Hunt comes across as a... slimy sh!t bag, but a safer pair of hands? I can only say that if a choice between those two is which eye to gouge out, a choice for Corbyn would be to gouge both eyes out... Lib Dems could make gains but they're strictly remain which isn't democratic to the referendum result which in my opinion (though I didn't vote for it) should stand. Green party, perhaps? Politics in the UK really is in a mess, to be honest.
Both as bad as each other tbh.
Tory party are dinasors
That's the sort of summarising the BBC website could do with.Quote:

I try to avoid political discussion as it rarely ends well, so despite having said all that I'm going to back away slowly and bid you goodnight :)
:lol: Normally my stance on the forum is never discuss politics or religion - not sure what came over me Rich! Maybe we got away with it? :) :goodnight:Quote:

Nice little con.
Tell the police mate, if they're doing that all the time it's a proper scam.Quote:

Such tests are just a bit of fun - no more. Last time I did a MENSA test I scored over 120!
My dad was pretty scornful of MENSA. He said "a truly intelligent person does not need to involve themselves with something like that". And he definitely was a genius.
It was just a bit of fun.
'tinypic' image hosting site is closing this year according to a new announcement on their site. Best start looking for an alternative if you use it, as I do.
Better make sure you copy and save any images you posted and want to keep, as they will disappear from any sites you put them on.
I scored 51 too. I think I was probably born that age.
I especially liked the one about which state has the smartest residents.Quote:
