That comes across as a bit rapey.

Weaker? Oh my how we laughed.

Yes of course, it's just changed lingo.

Mind you, those enquiring minds at the DM think you may be on to something...

I must admit, I've never really understood the Kennedy worship. If he hadn't been assassinated, he'd probably just be another failed President, blamed for the Vietnam War.

The same sentiments can be applied to John Lennon....he would have just been another ex member of the Beatles or xxxxxxxx

I'm a bit confused by this post. Did the Yanks buy Buck House as well as the London Bridge and did they put it in Dallas?

I'm fairly sure I've seen it still there in London on the tele more recently.

Yes, I knew that. I was simply giving you a lesson in quoting the post that you're replying to.

Mostly to stop you looking like a dick. Which of course you're not.

No! He's just the weaker sex

I was three, and in France and I remember my mother crying...it really upset me, as she wasn't the crying sort.

When Diana died, I was in Libya and listening to the news and laughed, as I was sure it must have been some sort of spoof.
