That I had perfectly shite day and that a gaggle of female teenage brats are brave and mouthy when facing an elderly woman but not so brave or talkative when a 6 foot very angry Morrigu appears behind said elderly woman!

Said very little - didn't need to - cold hard bitch and delivered that way!

Not a random - 'twas my mum and the biatch brat come to get her stuff - bad timing brat - I just happened to be there dropping some stuff at the time and hubby had dropped me off and gone to pick up some things for a job tomorrow so no car to warn them!

Apparently Bill gates is funding a remote controlled contraceptive for women.
WHAT if, instead of taking a pill every single day you could take one that will last 16 years?

This is the vision of a new project funded by the Gates Foundation which is looking at new ways to deliver drugs into the body.

If it can also function as a remote controlled libido he's on a winner. One more remote the bloke won't let away from his hand. :wink:

I like this thread, I might adopt it.

Anyway, tonight I learned a bit about the history of Absinthe and how/why it became illegal for a while. Some bits I already knew but the gaps have been filled in nicely.

I'm gonna buy me one of these.
