Does anyone know how the currently accepted style of runway walking came to be?

It isn't a natural walk exactly... So who started or invented it??

If you made a special journey to visit the Shard... and then discovered ALL the escalators were out of action... Would you use the stairs??

... presumably it goes without saying that if there are absolutely NO appliances plugged into the home supply... i'm not actually taking any electricity from the company?

But i'm just wondering if say, i connected a really, really long lead to my supply... would there come a point at which i AM actually drawing current to push the electricity along the cable, even though nothing is plugged in the end??

Thanks for your answers!

... i'm hoping to get a Border Collie soon... I've wanted to own one of these <<beautiful>> dogs for ages now!!

So if you are an owner, could you give me an idea of what made you decide on this particular breed over others? How their temperament is? And their typical life expectancy?

I'm assuming that this breed is not a good choice to double as a guard dog in any way... as they appear more inclined to lick an intruder to death... unless you're a sheep?)

Thank-you!

... increasingly i read and hear this said by mothers!

But should we be worried that behind this apparently innocent statement... could be the uncomfortable reason that some women actually want to have children?

What do you think? Is this a credible reason to have children? What <<IS>> a credible reason for having children exactly... beyond the <<love>> for the mother/father of them?

... well i guess that could be said of most purchases actually... But here we differentiate between the 'ordinary' and something that you simply 'fell for'... sensible or not!!?

Some of the things i have bought include 2 old classic cars, 140 coconut trees, and a beautiful Hornung & Moller upright piano!... ALL of which i didn't need and i don't have now (oh, except the trees, kind-of).

So, how about you?

The piano was the hardest to let go of... but i just didn't have room for it where i was at the time!!

... every so often here... as i'm sure you've noticed...someone asks the apparently <<daft>> question: ''Is it selfish to have a baby''

So i'm just wondering for those who are parents... and anyone who might become one... Could you give a reason for making that choice in your life?

Thank-you!

Men's expectations of women? or Women's expectations of men?

I say Women's expectations of men!! (but then i could be biased!!)

But what do you think and can you explain a little?

... ok, we've all seen the films where someone of 'questionable morals' needs to gain access to a building, or safe. So they obtain a mould of the original key in a little tin of plasticine?

Here's my poll:

What are the chances if i take a mould of a key along to a typical key-cutting shop, of them actually agreeing to <<make>> the key??? Or do you think they'd call the cops?

I've always wanted to do this... So tell me what you think.? Yes or No?..

We'll see what happens!!!

(if i don't return to Yahoo... it's been nice knowing you... but it'll mean it didn't go too well... and i'm now currently eating cold porridge in a 6x6 room with another male named ''Mad Bad Eric''!!

... would they fill:

A/ a thimble?

B/ a standard coffee cup?

C/ an olympic sized swimming pool?

Can you attempt to put an actual monetary figure for compensation for the lifetime neglect of a child?

Do you have a figure that instantly seems fitting... Or would you merely make an estimate of expenses from the womb to the age of 16?

And would that figure differ for the neglect from a mother compared to a father?

I'm looking for a number here... And an explanation as to how you arrive at that number!!!

We've ALL heard this line used in cinema and tv when someone is caught in a ''compromising situation''... (And i rather think it originates from the States?)

But have YOU ever <<actually>> used it successfully???

... when the whole world know women lead us the wrong way!! :)

... may i never test this theory... but i kind of think the answer is instinctively ''YES'' !!

What are the differences between the style of trust within a relationship vs a friendship?

Is it simply one comes preloaded with the fidelity issue... or is there more to distinguish the two?

If you couldn't trust someone within a relationship... would you be alright to trust that same person if that relationship was 'downgraded' to just being friends?

Do you ever get fed up with cooking and eating? And wonder why not just reach for a bottle of '' Curried Apple in Beans'' from Heinz??? After all they're crammed with vitamins and minerals... AND combine your main course with pudding!!! One bottle, NO washing up... Job Done ?
