The totally off-topic thread

The difficult thing for me is that Jimmy Saville was a character I trusted, as I suspect did many of my comtemporaries. He worked tirelessly for charity, and was seen to be helping the underprivileged and particularly kids. He was always a little "eccentric" but we just ignored that. How we were all duped? He was a foul, disgusting individual that preyed upon the weak and used his celebrity status to abuse hundreds of innocents. In retrospect it is so obvious.
 
Shrek's off to CMB tomorrow and has asked to borrow my QC 15's. He's never bothered before and has always been happy to use whatever's provided :shock:
I have agreed but only on agreement that its a once off arrangement and that if he wants to use them again he first buys me a new pair and gets to keep my old ones ;)

Me: We should have bought some Easter Eggs for the little one.
SWMBO: No, she's allergic to eggs.

(the sound of cicada's chirping)

Me: <<giggle>>
SWMBO: Shut up! I know...
 
I have just had 2 invitations from WAYN and twoomail from the same person.

I have no idea and I think both websites are legitimate but it could also be a scam.

Proceed with caution....

Had a shock this morning to get an email to say that a colleague died on Wednesday. I had chatted to him on Monday afternoon at a work function. Admittedly, he was in his 60's and I did know he was looking to retire this year, but I didn't realise he was in poor health :(.

Life is too short. Live life everybody.

Comes as a shock to you when it's people you know and deal with.

It's a reminder to get a check up every so often

Does anyone actually use the word "Repudiated"? I had to check Google as I have never heard the word used. :shock:

I'd have probably used the word refute, but repudiate is not THAT unusual a word is it?

Likewise - but if you look at the OED, either word is appropriate.
