Lighten up a bit sunshine! Saying someone is a "cycling" nazi, "sugar" nazi is making a grammatical point. It pays to be a bit creative with language, rather than mired in the literal meaning. I notice you are called rocky 23. Does this mean you are a drop out from the X Men - being made entirely of rock?? Geddit?!!!

Did I overreact? Posted: 8/24/2008 10:51:01 PM
I think your reaction was a very human one. Yes, it could be said it was childish, but hey-ho..! She acted in a very high-handed and ignorant way to you. She got what she deserved. Fancy a date some time?

If someone emails you with misspelled words and bad grammar, do you respond? Posted: 8/23/2008 5:09:09 AM
I think most of us have worked out that you are not AN English teacher!

A Fish Too Sensitive? Posted: 8/17/2008 3:43:15 PM
Count yourself lucky. He was obviously a person who wanted to keep you at arms' length so once a meeting had been arranged he decided to back-pedal. Sorry but sometimes people are not brave enough to be straight and it is a shame. However, that does not mean you have put a step wrong. Far from it. I am sorry that you are hurt by this and, sadly, there is no magic answer for hurt feelings. However, nil desperandum, just get going again and forget this loser. I wish you all the very best for your future happiness.

Manson follower wants compassion........................... Posted: 7/15/2008 3:25:56 AM
Let the **** rot. I can only hope that the cancer is painful. She showed no mercy to her victim, killing both Sharon and her unborn baby. How does a person stab a pregnant woman? What goes on inside your head to do this? This woman deserves no sympathy from anyone on earth. I truly hope there is a heaven and hell because if there is, there probably exists a special place in hell for the likes of her. She might be unhappy in life, but perhaps it will be worse in death for her. I hope so anyway. God bless to Sharon Tate and her baby.

How does one become a better cook? Posted: 7/13/2008 4:13:42 PM
Don't make the mistake of thinking that people who cook are somehow gifted. Cooking is a skill that can be learnt by anyone. Try very simple things and then slightly more difficult stuff. If something is not as nice as you think try varying it next time. Cook it more slowly or quicker.... Either way, try a straightforward dish and build your own knowledge and confidence up. Don't try sauces too much at first, though I do a great creamy pepper sauce to go with steak... Watch cookery programmes which make the sort of food you like. Try starting with a roast chicken. Season it with salt and pepper, rub some butter over it if you like. Remove the giblets and any string around the legs and cook it upside down so all the juices go into the breast. A 4lb chicken will take about 2.5 hrs or less. Keep checking it after 2 hrs by poking a skewer into the thigh of the chicken. Boil some nice new potatoes and buy a packet of salad and you have a lovely meal. The left over chicken is great for salads, sandwiches and all sorts of other dishes. You can even make a chicken and sweetcorn soup. The secret of succcessful cooking is to try to improve each time you do something and not to be put off by mistakes. Happy cooking!
