    Of course not, our liberal guilt complex would never countenance such a logical thought.

    We may behave like Tories and we may be a s privileged as many of the Tories and we may agree with their doctrines but we are of course too cowardly to admit it.
    Is wanting to send everyone to higher education a Tory or Labour ideal?

      BP, I was in a campsite in the middle of the nullabor with my wife. We'd been driving around Aus. Anyway, we were the only ones in the campsite. We'd parked the campervan next to the ladies loos, as my wife didn't fancy the trawl across the campsite in the middle of the night (pregnant).

      In the morning, I was performing my 'ablutions' and letting go on the night befores meal, when I heard footsteps coming towards the loo. As the loo door opened, I opened the cubicle, with my shorts around my ankles waving my willy shouting woo hoo.

      My wife was quite surprised to see me in the campervan 1 minute later, slamming the roof shut and taking off at high speed. Not too sure the camp site owners wife enjoyed her view.

      To move the story on a bit, about 20ks down the road, not having finished clearing my bowels, I pulled off the road, desperate to finish what I'd started, and went to a look out over looking the Australian bight, nearest town 230kms, no cars in the car park. I went to the edge of what I assumed was a cliff, took the shorts off and sat hovering naked, to finish what I had started, with my wife under strict instructions to blow the horn were any cars, unlikely, to come into view.

      Half way through, 4 ramblers just appeared, literally, to the side of me. I was mid leverage so couldn't do anything but wish them good morning. They moved on pretty quickly. I then finished up, stormed to the wife about to say very funny, but there were no cars, they'd walked, it must have been, 30 odd klicks from the following look out


      Is that the best your defence team could come up with?

        Its still something, 10 years down the line, that we laugh a lot about. The faces on the campsite owner and ramblers were a picture. I was quite concerned at the campsite, as they are fairly rough, gun happy, out there....

          I can't imagine why if their other clientèle are as civilised as you.
          Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

I'll try that next time client wants an urgent roll-out of something and see how long I last.
            Do you get paid just above minimum wage to clean stuff?

              What believing your wife is coming to the loo and spontaneously surprising her.

              How uncivilised....

                  They should be grateful for the job. If they don't want to do it at the rate offered, either negotiate or look elsewhere for work.
                  What you don't do is take the job. agree to do the work at that rate and then rip off the employer.

                      most parents want to see their kids become high achievers, thats natural
                      I have been encouraging my granddaughter to go to college.
                      But she wants everything in style, not realising that when she is in she is out.

                      I tried to point out the basic fact that if that was her attitude, then she would not mean a single thing without, those handbags and those gladrags, that I had to sweat so hard to buy.
                      Of course, when I found out that she missed school today, I decided to suggest to her (asap) that she just throws them all away,
                      the items in question being those handbags and those gladrags, that I had to sweat so hard to buy her
