  4. Yes, thats right *starts car, bent double* Apparently you only ever breathe through one nostril at a time. ( those of us at the higher end of the evolutionary ladder ) http://www.samizdat....ly-breathe.html And when I'm standing up to wipe, neither, bad stink. Got a bad back mate?!
  5. I'm looking forward to it. I put it in as a series to record last week! I have the box sets of Planet Earth and The Blue Planet. Amazing stuff!
  6. Did anyone see the documentary the other night called 'Mummifying Alan' I just watched it on 4oD, (not because Alan was from Torquay) but because I was interested. I'm left feeling a bit strange really, very odd.
  7. Aye, that was embarrassing about him going on how his mother basically sucked the old fella off on the pier. The old man buzzing I liked the flat fish with the shellfish,looked lush! I wanna goto the seaside now I live there!!
  8. Thats ok Wyki, I will soon get bored of using the colours!
  9. I thought I mainly breathed through my mouth, but then realised as I was busy doing my emails and such like, that I was breathing through my nose. And yet if I shut my mouth and breathe through my nose intentionally, I get slightly panicky and have to breathe through my mouth again Of course there are occasions when you just have to breathe through your nose
  10. We did this ages ago, I expect my pet hates remain the same as back then Scroungers in general and benefit scroungers...not the members of public who really need their benefits, but the ones who have no intention of ever working plus have loads of kids and live off the state Some elderly folk, who think their age gives them the right to be rude to everyone Buses and nutter bus drivers!! middle lane sitters Finding the toilet roll holder is empty because neither my hubby or son cant seem to put a new one on!! Oh loads more
  11. I rarely drink any alcohol, so its not a problem! Just the odd glass of red or Rose wine. Even if we go out for an evening, I rarely have more than 2 or 3 drinks.
  12. Another tragic day for Motorsport. http://www.dailymail...toGP-crash.html
  13. Its too early to have done anything exciting today but yesterday we bought a beautiful painting for our bedroom, it was a spur of the moment thing. I love it.
  14. I'm tempted to order the DVD, only £6.99 on amazon!
  15. Yeah I've seen clips of it on one of those 'Top 100' ......shows. Just read the Wiki entry all about it, very interesting. Didnt realise there was a Blog and a YouTube channel about it! Also a 'behind the scenes' show in the making. This is what it says about the lad who took his own life. Psychological effects A number of psychological effects were reported in Ghostwatch's wake: 18-year-old factory worker Martin Denham, who suffered from learning difficulties and had a mental age of 13, committed suicide five days after the programme aired. The family home had suffered with a faulty central heating system which had caused the pipes to knock; Denham linked this to the activity in the show causing great worry. He left a suicide note reading "if there are ghosts I will be ... with you always as a ghost". His mother and stepfather, April and Percy Denham, blamed the BBC. They claimed that Martin was "hypnotised and obsessed" by the programme.[5] The Broadcasting Standards Commission refused their complaint, along with 34 others, as being outside their remit, but the High Court granted the Denhams permission for a judicial review requiring the BSC to hear their complaint.[6][7] In its ruling, the BSC stated that "The BBC had a duty to do more than simply hint at the deception it was practising on the audience. In Ghostwatch there was a deliberate attempt to cultivate a sense of menace." They ruled that the programme was excessively distressing and graphic - referring to the scratches on the children and the mutilated animals - and that it had aired too soon after the 9pm watershed. They further stated that "the presence in the programme of presenters familiar from children's programmes ... took some parents off-guard in deciding whether their children could continue to view."[8][9] The film's producers argued that Ghostwatch had aired during a drama slot, that it was recognisable as fiction to a vast majority, and that running disclaimers or other announcements during the programme would have ruined its effectiveness. They also stated that, had they anticipated the audience reaction, they would have made its fictional nature clearer. However, after the BSC ruling they issued an apology. How unfortunate that the family had suffered with central heating problems at that time. It does say that because the program featured current children's TV presenters of the time that many parents allowed their children to watch it. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
  16. Really? Perhaps that why its rarely mentioned or shown. It was certainly quite shocking at the time, now we'd probably laugh at it!
  17. Aw Craig, that's proper heartbreaking.
  18. I remember it well, it actually scared me and I remember thinking at the time, wtf??!! But was it really 1990?? Surely not as I watched it with my son and he would have been too young then for me to let him watch it! If so, then I'm a bad bad mother Just checked, it was 1992 so I wasn't that far off! Someone call social services! Oooops!
  19. I am sick of cooking every day so tonights offering will be Beefburgers (not even home-made) Chips, tomatoes and a fried egg. Followed by triple choc ice cream with a flake stuck in it I will be having Beans on Toast.
  20. Has to be.... The Lost Boys. Terminator. Ghostbusters.
  21. I remember it well, it actually scared me and I remember thinking at the time, wtf??!! But was it really 1990?? Surely not as I watched it with my son and he would have been to young then for me to let him watch it! If so, then I'm a bad bad mother
