Sue, unfortunately it has always been the same through all our history.

Any deviation form the 'norm' must be hidden so as not to offend 'polite' society

And the authorities in the 19th century even had the gall to allow the inmates of Bedlam to be on to display as though they were a tourist attraction!

Cruel people are referred to as animals, yet animals do not indulge in an iota of things that humans do. It is an insult to animals!

Linda - is Tec getting cranky with us?

I think so Berona, so we had better soothe him. After all if a job is worth doing it is worth doing slowly (oops I meant well)

Poor Tec:-(

Allan - I get on my high horse about the whole subject. I hate intolerance of any kind - although we are all guilty of this at times. My blood boils when children are involved. My daughter was annoyed that her eldest who has just started school was teased by a boy in his class because he hugs his friends when he goes to school. The boy told him he's "gay". They are five years old for heaven's sake.

Linda - are you on the plonk? You're duplicating.

How do they know what 'gay' is at the age of 5?

Sorry Berona, I have shut down and restarted because everything was grinding to a halt.

Exactly, Berona. Grandson's friends consist of boys and girls and all he does is hug them when he arrives at school. His teacher thinks it's lovely especially as he gives her a kiss bye bye when he finishes at the end of the day.

No apologies needed Linda.

Are we being hard on Tec? He is such a softie, really.

Is anyone else having problems with this site?

I went to post a response to Sue's post and everything froze!

Allan

I'm off for the day. I hope you all enjoy the rest of the evening Poms and have a good day, Aussies. Love to you all.

~~~~~~to Diane, Pat and anyone else who is looking in.

'Bye Sue, keep out of mischief :0))

Allan

Bye Sue - Enjoy your day.........
Thank you for not ganging up on me with those other two.

Allan, The site is extremely slow, even typing the text, but that may be my laptop?

Tec

'bye Sue - keep cool.

I think I had better go too. I have been here a long while and my posterior is reminding me that I have a date with the treadmill.

Sleep well Brits - Have a good day on this side of the world! Talk again later.

Bye Berona, Easy on the treadmill.
Tec.

I think it is the site Tec, my laptop has been grinding to a halt as well, but I know that there is no problem with it. I am off to bed now, so goodnight/day everyone. As it is the weekend, you are just to sit with your feet up Tec, no DIY allowed. Tell the Duchess i said so.

Waves to Dianne, come back soon

"Bye Berona keep cool if you can

I will also say goodbye as I have a few things to do

~~~~~~~~~ to Diane, hope that all is well with you

Bye to Tec and Linda

Allan

Goodnight Linda,
No work planned this weekend - I'm on strike.

Bye Allan, Enjoy your day,

Goodnight Diane if you're looking in.

Tec

You talk about sheep as in out in the country.
We have sheep and a few cows right here in Auckland City. My American friend is most amused by this - that one can drive up One Tree Hill (also known as Mt Maungakiekie and Cornwall Park) and pass cows on the way - they roam the paths etc and one has to be careful to not stand in a
"just like a farm." The park also has a restaurant and two old homesteads at the back of one of these is a film room which continually shows the history of Mt Maungakiekie - is a wedding venue, has a childrens playground, botanical gardens, pond, an observatory (which has an observation evening every week for school classes etc) and on top of the hill is a cenotaph/obelisk.
And it is just with 5 - 10mins from our place, and a short bus ride from the CBD.

Persey who has always had a backyard.

What the h*ll is this thread doing on page 2 of chat

I assume that all aussies in the eastern states are taking part in Earth hour, and that is why there are no recent posts!
