Righty tighty, lefty loosey. And it ain't just politics!

But that rule doesn't seem to work in India. Just got a pair of earrings from India with screw-on backs and they work the opposite way (which made it a bit of a challenge to wear them the first time). So, what other nations break the rules of nature?

Dunno about rules of nature but my flipping broadband connection almost got itself thrown out the window, I've spent 2 days trying to figure out if my provider had either capped me (without telling me) or throttled me, neither one should have happened as I'm on an unlimited connection and my downloads are encrypted so shouldn't be picked up ;) speed tests all came back fine, throttle tests came back negative, yet my d/l speed had dropped from between 300 - 600kB's on average to less than 20kB's. I tweaked my torrent client - and nada, I d/l a different client - same result was all set to roll up my sleeves and get ready for battle with an Indian call center when out of the blue speed jumped right back up to 380 kb's which is unheard of for this time of day (they do throttle at peak periods so I always d/l after midnight and before 10am). Clearly they must have been messing about with the line and hadn't bothered telling me - coud have saved myself a LOT of work if they'd told me argggg

If they are testicles then it's a cryptorchid...

Delighted to have found a forum filled with people who feel the same as I do about SGU - it fucking sucks!!! As a long time member and activist involved with the Save Atlantis campaign to find a forum home which is largely unmoderated filled with people who won't roll over and play dead to Mallozzi and his arse lickers at gateworld has made my day.

Ok. Am I the Only one that uses my foot to lift the public toilet seat to piss and flush?

OH right! I'm the crazy one? Have you looked at your friends fingernails lately?

Bloody hell~ Nasty bastards the lot of them. WTF?~ How about a bit personal grooming mates?

Jesus H! Do you really think that bonnie lass wants those dirty germ infested digits shoved up her bum? Mayhap.

Doesn't mean that you need to comply. {Ewwwwwww...ED.}

Depends on how many pints she's/you had? NO MATTER. She! Being the object of your drunken affection...should have your undivided attention. Right?

The very irony of it is an outrage...

Think about it. After you've got her drunk.. In twenty minutes, (if you are good, I mean really good.) you will have your mouth on the very parts you've been diddling mate.

So. Practice excellent hygiene at all times.

Mates! Always practice SAFE SEX and always keep your fingernails neat, cleaned and trimmed.

Chicks dig it! And even if they don't, at least you won't have to eat leftovers...

*nudge - wink*

Peace~

Random my arse. . . .

When it is a string
A sufficiently copious dose of bombast drenched in verbose writing is lethal to the truth.

When you think some days are fucked, they just go along and fuck up even more.

That is the way of a fucked up day.

Is it just me or does the word 'turd' in saturday really seem misplaced?
