Chulla 4,946 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I once had it explained to me how a certain race of people (can't remember which) wiped their behinds. They got a small piece of paper about three inches in diameter, or square, and ripped the centre out of it, just enough to push your finger through. It was important that you saved the piece ripped out. With your finger pushed through you wiped and then pushed the paper back towards the nail, taking any waste with it. This done and disposed of you then folded the small piece of leftover paper to a point and then cleaned out what was under your nail. Why this didn't catch on I will never know. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

katyjay 5,091 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Had dinner out on Saturday night, at a nearby table were a couple with a young child. While waiting for their meal to arrive, mum was turned sideways, back to the child while she used her laptop, child used his smart phone and dad opposite was using his. What a sad world we are in now, conversation is dead. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,429 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Thnks for changing the subject, Katie. :-) Yes, I've noticd numerous kids lately with their own smart phones or maybe they are video games. Nothing like getting them started early. The Olive garden restaurant has started putting some kind of video screen on their tables. I guess you can order or pay your bill this way. I alwas turn ours to the wall. I find it distracting. It also has games for the kiddies. One of the little blighters was playing on one last week and then started to scream the place down. Presumably because the game ended or something. Games are not free, I think it adds them to your bill. I've always liked techy stuff but things are going nuts. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,487 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Had dinner out on Saturday night, at a nearby table were a couple with a young child. While waiting for their meal to arrive, mum was turned sideways, back to the child while she used her laptop, child used his smart phone and dad opposite was using his. What a sad world we are in now, conversation is dead. Of course, they might have been talking to each other. Just not face to face ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redbowen 131 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 I have family in Texas and it was not unusual for our niece to Skype us without her mother knowing. She was then two years old. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,613 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 We often get text messages from our 4 year old grandson, who 'borrows' his Mum's phone when she leaves it lying about. He gets most of the words right - we can understand what he's saying anyway, although usually it's about nothing in particular and ends with loads of kisses! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 If you're not talking to the missus..does texting her" if the dinner is ready?" count? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 My texts end with loads of kisses......... Better not tell the missus. LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 If you're not talking to the missus..does texting her" if the dinner is ready?" count? No but the smack in the gob from her would be real enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DAVIDW 1,690 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Actually sold something on ebay yesterday . Old shop stock . Well actually its the second item in a week . First one I made a hash of and ended up selling something for £2.50 inc p&p but it cost me £2.80 to post ! Trouble is traders from China are selling similar items (including postage) for less than the postage alone costs me . Who subsidises their postage ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,429 Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 Why is the weather going so strange. Wasn't like this when I was a kid. Mostly cold and damp when it wasn't raining. I remember a week at Bridlington when we sat in a cold shelter and looked at the sea. We'd go to the pictures in the afternoon to keep warm. I don't buy the usual explanations about global warming, but summat's going on. It's getting so extreme. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
