#42 - excessive pedantry? :)

The storm *is* people battening down the hatches. That's what a depression is - people get scared they might not get paid, so they stop spending money. Then the products that money would have bought doesn't get sold. The manufacturer notices falling sales and cuts back on production. The workers...

Actually the reason that recessions turn into depressions is that people stop spending. Don't forget, the amount of money in the economy hasn't actually changed. If everyone sat on what they have, the economy would stop and everyone would lose out. Spending makes the world go round (or, more...

It seems to me that global warming is pretty much factual. I don't think it really matters whether it's because of carbon emissions from people, carbon emissions from volcanoes, or the fact that we're coming out of an ice age. The question now is what should we invest our resources in. It seems...

I completely support this view. I don't see why the government is making decisions that should be made by individual shop managers. After all, if it really isn't profitable to open extra hours then you won't find many shops willing to deliberately lose money by doing so. It's just that by...

Working girls who do want to offer an MMS service should check out the Virgin Topless plan. For $99 a month, it's got free unlimited (within reason) calls, SMS and MMS to anyone in Australia. They have a "no commercial use" clause but as long as you don't go crazy it would probably be a cheaper...

In my opinion, when all is working well then there's no difference between the two. The Australian version seems less robust though, and prone to developing excessive vibration (yes, yes, I know - I'm talking about the sort you don't want, in the handle rather than the head).

As a client, I've never asked for a picture via phone. If someone wants to send them out for whatever reason, it might be worth investigating phones that can email pictures. I know mine has that functionality, and it's essentially free if you have a $5/month data plan, at least with Virgin.

Yes, it's entirely possible. I do it all the time. Quite often I'm in the mood to give pleasure but not in the mood to have sex, so out come the fingers, tongue and toys and she has a great time. (NB: I wouldn't have stopped before you came...)

Re: Public Reject Sunday Trading See, that sounds plausible, but it simply has not happened in other places with extended trading. When I was in Melbourne, there were heaps of little shops to choose from, and retail prices were not significantly different to what they were here. In New...

Re: Public Reject Sunday Trading In a free country, the government shouldn't be dictating what legal trading hours are. Apart from that I agree with your comment completely.

Re: Public Reject Sunday Trading It does in New Zealand. It's very common there to go into a shopping centre late at night or on a Sunday and see half the shops shuttered and closed. Anyway, wouldn't it be a simpler (and fairer) solution to use tenant protection legislation to solve the...

Re: Public Reject Sunday Trading Why not let individual shop owners decide if they want to open on Sunday or not?

You could rename it the cheering/bitching board, and have people tag the post name with [Cheer] or [Bitch]. Always best to keep the universe in balance :)

It helps if you use a thicker lube. I've found it puts things closer to pleasure (good call on the mixture, tony08) if you get lube deep inside instead of just around the rim.
