Re: General Chit Chat
Thanks lads, it's going to be tough for Mr GG when the worst happens. Going to have a lot of distraught teenagers to deal with in the youth group when the worst happens.

Re: General Chit Chat
Feeling somewhat dubious about this list of female '20 feel good factors.'

I think it's fair to say plucked eyebrows, manicures and a full face of make up do not make me feel good. However it is a more diverse and interesting list then the male equivalent which would probably read:
1. Doing a big fart
2 huge beery belches.

Surely GG means doing any fart?
My dog (proper 57) had his anal glands emptied once and yes the smell is something to behold!!

Re: General Chit Chat
Anyone know how to cancel SKY? Do I just cancel my DD? Just signed up for a good package with BT which will save me around £50 a month. 

May the bridges I burn light your way

Good luck with that Bruce. They make it as difficult as possible to leave then you'll get never ending phone calls and letters asking you to come back.

I think telling them the account holder is being taken into a home (or died) is about the only way to get them off your back.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.
