    No, I think that baby will be equally baffled. Most children's first words are mummy or daddy, in this case it will probably be "what the f--k"!

    I did recently see a US drama series where a certain sexually ambiguous character was always referred to as 'they'. I suppose it's the only non-gender way to refer to them in the third person apart from using 'it' which I imagine they would find offensive. Confusing times.

    Took out an old window this morning, which had newspaper providing insulation round it. I guessed the paper would be 1982, the feller I was working with guessed 1986. The loser goes for coffees at local Greenhalgh's. The year turned out to be July 1988 - can't believe I was beaten by someone who wasn't even born then.

    Lots of ads for new 'F' reg cars, a Nissan Sunny could be had for £4995, and a Fiat Uno for £3695. You definitely get more car for your money these days

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Absolutely, who wants to talk about boring old hifi when minge-management is up for discussion.

    Bev, you never got back to us about whether Brazilians have a noticeable effect on reflected high frequencies, and whether a good old seventies bush makes a good bass trap Be happy to participate in a blind listening test - I promise I won't peep

    Gosh peeps remember... I'd forgotten all about it, I've got a head like a sieve...

    I like it smooth. it does indeed reflect 'high frequencies' well.. and it's sexy (to me).... however my guy prefers to have a 'bass trap'... so I alternate from smooth to not so smooth... never bushy, that's just messy...never tricky to find my 'bits'... I'll say no more ...

    "a blind listening test" would be interesting, however peeping would be mandatory...
