Hi all.

I know that America's Next Top Model is the flagship of a now worldwide competition.

Other countries that I know of are Britain, Canada, Australia.

What are the other countries that are part of this franchise?

...How would you take the not-knowing what is wrong with you?

You're run through a gauntlet of tests, prescribed medicines. And still you have to wait for the results from the tests, and the speculations that are flying round.

Now, would you show and/or express fear or do the braveheart, stiff upperlip, chin up way?

Years ago, I spoke with a woman who was a WREN in the Royal Canadian Navy in WWII.

She was telling a fellow woman officer about a male officer.

'There he is, all spit-and-polish. Yet he had the nerve to pinch my bum!'

Apparently he had overheard her, and said:

'Madam, I never laid a hand on your husband!'

When I hear some folk say that they have no regrets in life; I seriously wonder if they are trying to convince us or themselves.

In life, everyone makes mistakes. Even the little ones could alter the course of your life for the worse, without your realising it.

What say you?

How many of you are getting bombarded with a slew of e-mails saying that you have won the lotto from (whatever country)?

You go through the process of filling out a confirmation form; then you have to fill out a shipping form.

Only to discover that the shipping company wants you to pay upfront X hundreds of dollars for shipping and insurance.

I wouldn't do it because I feel it's a scam. Yet they STILL keep sending the blinking things.

How many of you are fed up with questions such as:

If you have one day to live...?

If you knew that you were dying...?

A bit morbid, wouldn't you say?

Fill in the blank with what you experienced personally, or those you know about.

Pretty please and thank you.

=D

Hi all.

I have the movie The Quiet Earth on DVD - great by the way.

I would like to buy the soundtrack CD for it as well. Are there any valid distributing companies that it can be ordered from, without giving credit info? Would a money-order be acceptable (in NZ currency and sent in advance)?

Here in Canada, it would cost about CDN$212.odd.

Please and thank you. =D

(and elsewhere)

Hi all.

I have the movie The Quiet Earth on DVD. (Great by the way.)

How can I go about ordering the soundtrack for it on CD?

Up here in Canada, it would cost CDN$212.odd. What would the prices be; can I order it without giving credit info but send a money-order to a distributor?

Please and thank you.

=D

Has anyone ever wonder why Nature put the reproductive organs right next to the waste management ones?

I'm well aware that some of you will think, 'Eeewww' and 'Gross'. But this enquiring mind would like to know.

=D

We still have Friday 13 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Now that Australia and New Zealand, et al went through it; how was your 'doomsday'? lol

Right now, right here, the weather is nasty.

Who else is fed up with this long-winded nutter?

Waste of time and space, that one.

Has anyone else noticed that Yahoo has just changed its set-up within the past hour or so?

Also, in the past couple of months, a number of changes occured; such as stars for questions instead of thumbs-up or thumbs-down.

From any movie or programme. And can you remember who said it?

Some folk say that there are 6 billion people on this planet; others say 6 thousand-million.

1 billion is 10 to the 12th power, not 10 to the 9th power.

So, at the last census I recall that there are approximately 6...

thousand-million or billion?

(I say 6 thousand-million)

If you had to be one of the ghosts in the book/movie A Christmas Carol; which would you be?

Past, Present, or Yet To Come?

For example: the computer manufacturers. The number pad is on the right side; also the other user keys; the CPU also on the right.

My problem was that I had to get a cordless mouse because I yanked the cord too hard on my last one. The cord wasn't long enough for left-handers.

Even computer stations are for righties.

A man enters the urologist's office. He approaches the receptionist, and says:

'Good morning. I have an appointment with the doctor.'

'And your name sir?', she askes while looking through the book.

'Brown.'

'Well, we have three Browns slated for today. First name please?'

'Richard. But my wife calls me D!ck for short.'

'But not for long, eh?', the receptionist quipped.

I remember a little cartoon in a magazine that showed a naked man and woman sitting on their bed.

The man looked dejected and the woman was livid when she said:

'It's bad enough that you fell asleep in the middle of a fu<k! But when you peed in my <unt....!'

Opinions please. Anything you have to offer?

How many of you out there have received violation notices for answering a question in, what some folk think, in an inappropriate way?

I answered a question that asked how often do you go to church. I replied with 'For hatches, matches, and dispatches.' (Which meant for baptisms, weddings, and funerals.)

No foul language, no attacks. Just a bit of Brit-wit that my grandparents told me.

I can understand it if something is really gross. But that?

What were your experiences?
