I didn't mean one made from real fur. They're generally still described as mink blankets even when they're artificial. Sorry, I knew what I meant so I assumed everyone else would lol. I have one on my bed and another on the couch which was intended to be used to keep my feet warm but seems to have been appropriated by…

There are many many cases where tasers are used stupidly, this ... doesn't seem to be one of them. Sure the cop got in first before the suspect was actually violent but I don't see why he should have to wait until someone has been punched in order to pull the trigger. He saw an aggressive individual who he believed…

Pyjamas are wonderful things - for lounging around the house in when you're not going out. Sleeping nude is the way to go. And while I don't live in Scotland I live on the N sea coast - I'd recommend a mink blanket to go on your bed, then you can have nakedness even when your gentleman caller isn't around.

On the one hand, I do think we should know more about the emotional and sexual lives of our ancestors, on the other hand I'm not happy with putting modern 20th century labels on people from other eras, simply because they would not hve explained their behaviour in those terms.

It's not the kind of thing that occurs to anyone who isn't bothered by heights so I wouldn't worry about it. You'd be surprised at how many of us who are can still be convinced that we'll be fine if we do something stupid like ride on one, despite all past evidence to the contrary!

The first bit of my comment was mostly directed at the other comments blaming Beyonce and Richardson for the whole thing rather than you, sorry about that. It came out a bit snippy because by the time I got to you in the grey I was getting irritated at how everyone was jumping on this as a chance to air their views…

Much as I would love to blame this on Richardson and Beyonce, surely it's the ride operator's responsibility to know how many people are on your ride and not forget about them.

I went on the local and smaller vrsion of the London Eye, thinking since it's enclosed I'd be fine. Three circuits later I was on the verge of either crying or throwing up and it hadn't ever stopped moving. Being stuck at the top of one for half an hour would have had me needed serious psychiatric help.

Pretty sure Texas doesn't really consider itself part of anything but Texas. They may grudgingly admit to being American but deep down most Texans consider themselves to be Texan first and everything else a distant second. And I kind of admire that attitude, it's just a pity there are so many assholes out there making…

You're making assumptions, yet again. We have no idea what kind of relationship set up she has or who knows what so we really don't have any information to make a judgement on. You have no idea if she has kids. If she does they could be perfectly aware of her lover, hell many poly relationships an outside partner is…

I have a large dog. I can just see me waking up one morning and finding him stuck with all four legs going down into the mattress. The cat would just vanish never to be seen again.

If she's in a poly relationship, which is perfectly plausible, maybe the reason she's looking for a new partner for the lover and not the husband is that the husband already has a partner outside of the marriage just as she has. We don't have the information to make any kind of judgement on this really.

Because that's what you want when you're trying to be overtly sexual and 'edgy' - dad approval.

The criteria was smart influential women. There are hundreds of smart influential women of all races and ethnicities on twitter. No one is suggesting that non-white women should appear on the list purely because they are non-white; they are non-white women who meet the same criteria as the white women who did make the…

My staffie does that! Or he lies just close enough to it to use the bed as a pillow. This despite the fact normally he will seek comfortable places like his life depends on it. Currently he's asleep on the couch using me as a combination backrest and pillow. My foot is slowly going to sleep, but am I going to move…

Not sure there was a single dude in the permanent cast who wasn't sexy. I couldn't possibly choose between POTUS, Leo, Josh, Toby, Sam, Charlie... Even Danny was cute. And CJ's Secret Service boyfriend (Mark Harmon, I forget the character name) is gorgeous.

Pretty sure most under fives are sociopaths.

I do hope she gets some decent psychiatric help before she does anything permanent, like surgery (which she can't get til she gets out so let's hope she will) because her mental state, from what I've read, has been pretty fragile since her arrest and imprisonment - understandably given some of the treatment she got -…

I don't mind an exception for someone who is down injured for example, but other than that as far as I'm concerned it you're in a position that could be deemed offside and you're not interfering with play you're not doing your job! Although at this point I'd just settle for some kind of consistency. Still it wouldn't…

But can you explain the offside rule? :D Although given how they keep tweaking it I'm not sure even a referee could give a clear explanation. *mutters about the concept of players 'not interfering with play'*
