One of my favourite pieces is by Gabriel Fauré, Pavane, Op. 50.

It's a balmy 3 degrees celsius (37 in farenheit?) and chucking it down with rain!

TIme to so out in my shorts and t-shirt then

Men are supposedly thinking about sex every 6 seconds, the other 5 is filled with the thought of them thinking about sex......

In answer to the question i'm not just looking for sex (I passed that phase in my teens), but I suppose 27 is past mid 20's...or at least it feels like it these days.

And you get a 10 for being a good sport

Ahhh, Romancahol, my favoutie drink! Two sips of the most potent liquer and you're dancing in the moonlight whisking away the love of your life to the most romantic place ever where love and time never end....

....in reality you're actually in an abandoned buildings doorway doing it doggy style, while holding the lucky lady's hair back as she sicks up the kebab you just ate together!

And again, I rated you in my previous post....a miserly 1 for not reading my other post properly. I rated the smiley in my first post....a lovely 8! So have indeed followed (although loosely) the rules of the thread.

I think to cheer you up, i'll give you a 7. You like to make your point, that's not always a bad thing. Plus, you like to use the smiley that I rate so highly!

I'll give you 1 because my post is clear about the rating I gave in my previous post.

It clearly states (in English) that 'I give the OFF TOPIC smiley an 8'.

Got to love that smiley

I'm not sure about the guy above me, however, I give the OFF TOPIC smiley an 8!

I'm going to the home of the Smurfs, and Tin-tin next week. I may try and catch me one!

Wouldn't it bre great if.....

everyone had a pet penguin!

Aye, this is true. Even if we managed to abolish somehow the TV licence, we would be looking at some other charge for the services!

No, not every night, although I do have some weeks where I will go to different pubs for different themed nights. It usually incorporates a pub quiz though.

Have been to one today after work. It's a rock/biker pub. Today was rokaoke, karaoke with rock songs! It's a good laugh.

Anyway, good night again to you

Haha, well I know what I like to watch and when so there are generally no arguments. Lately I have been watching documentaries about the Second World War in Europe. We all watch that as both sides of the family have links to it.

Anyway, that's me for the night. I have done a long shift and I have seen my friend at the pub quiz. Time for bed....goodnight

Well, I look after my mother at my home. I own my own property, but my folks live with me at the moment. My mother has a long term ilness and my father does too. Although he works, it doesn't bring too much money in. It's a bit of a temporary thing so it really doesn't bother me. This basically means the one fight we do have is what is on the TV. Since I work long hours they get to watch what they want, although when I am home I usually will be able to get hold of the remote!

And we have just recently had this in the UK (taken from the Telgraph.co.uk website

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Five patients on a unit for people with severe underlying health conditions at the University Hospital of Wales, in Cardiff, were diagnosed with swine flu that is resistant to the drug.

Three appear to have acquired the infection in hospital, the National Public Health Service for Wales (NPHS) said.
Two of the five have recovered and have been discharged from hospital, one is in critical care and two are being treated on the ward.

The service said the resistant strain does not appear to be more severe than the swine flu virus circulating since the spring.

All patients on the unit have been tested and patients diagnosed with Tamiflu-resistant swine flu have been given other antivirals.

Patients have been isolated or are being cared for in a designated area for influenza cases.

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board has put appropriate infection control measures in place on the unit, the NPHS added.

Staff and patients have been offered swine flu vaccinations, and patients due to come into the unit for treatment are being warned to get the jab from their GP.

Close contacts of the patients are being warned to make sure they are treated quickly if they show any symptoms.

Dr Roland Salmon, director of the NPHS Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre, said: “The emergence of influenza A viruses that are resistant to Tamiflu is not unexpected in patients with serious underlying conditions and suppressed immune systems, who still test positive for the virus despite treatment.

“In this case, the resistant strain of swine flu does not appear to be any more severe than the swine flu virus that has been circulating since April.

“For the vast majority of people, Tamiflu has proved effective in reducing the severity of illness.

“Vaccination remains the most effective tool we have in preventing swine flu so I urge people identified as being at risk to look out for their invitation to be vaccinated by their GP surgery.”

It comes after it was announced that more than 3million healthy children under five across the UK are to be offered the swine flu jab.

Parents will be invited by their GPs to bring their children into surgeries, with vaccinations expected to start in December.

Health ministers across the UK agreed children aged six months to five years should be included in the next phase of the vaccination programme after GPs have finished vaccinating at-risk groups, including people aged six months to 65 with conditions like asthma, diabetes and heart disease. Pregnant women and frontline health workers are also currently being given the jab.

Figures released on Thursday showed an estimated 53,000 new cases of swine flu in England in the last week, down from 64,000 in the week before.

In Scotland, the figure was 21,200, down from about 21,500 in the previous seven days.

The rate of flu-like illnesses diagnosed by GPs in Wales dropped to 36 cases for every 100,000 people from 65.8 the previous week.

Seven swine flu-related deaths were recorded in Wales in the previous week, taking the total to 21.

Wales’s Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Jewell said people with suppressed immune systems were designated as a priority group for vaccination because they were known to be more susceptible to the virus.

“We have stringent processes in place for monitoring for antiviral resistance in the UK so that we can spot resistance early and the causes can be investigated and the cases managed,” he said.

“Identifying these cases shows that our systems are working so patients should be reassured.

“Treatment with Tamiflu is still appropriate for swine flu and people should continue to take Tamiflu when they are prescribed it.

“It’s also important that good hygiene practices are followed to further prevent the spread of the virus.”

Meanwhile, Norwegian health authorities said they had discovered a potentially significant H1N1 mutation that could be responsible for causing the severest symptoms.

The mutated virus was found in the bodies of two people who died of the virus, although medics do not believe it has been transmitted between humans.

CSI and NCIS are the only shows my mother seems to watch these days. Still, keeps her entertained. I am not a huge fan of those shows although I would happily sit and watch it.

.......in his underwear!

No word of a lie! I work as an EMT for a second job and I work at concerts and sporting events. When I work at certain concert venues I have access all areas as I am responsible for anyone in the building.

Alice Cooper was playing in my hometown and as I was walking past the dressing room he was wandering around practically in the nip!

I was tempted to do the Waynes world 'We're not worthy' bowing down thing, but bottled out of that last minute!

The gig was good too

It's the closest I have been to being hot (with the sunburn) and mean at the same time.....

Still didn't turn on any of the ladies.....turned on a few sirens that I had to run from
