Em Hardy....the above can be read differently depending on whether one reads it in the context of the quote above it or not. Marty might not be pleased.....he is a ladies man.


Ooops - you're right. Just for clarity, then - Marty Morrissey's many remarkable qualities do not include being a homosexual, as far as I know.

(A ladies' man - are you serious?)

The ladies do swoon around Marty when he does be out. Does it ever go anywhere is another question.

Thanks TG. I thought I was the only one. Is that another name for a knife?

They are the machines you put your soda bread / viennesse roll etc into which slices them up for you. Usually has a big red emergency  stop button on it in case you mangle your hands in it. Thought they were common enough in the supermarkets.

Mea culpa.

On that same note, idiots who stand at a pedestrian crossing having NOT pressed the button!

Tyrones own

Or better yet, pushing the button then proceed to run across against their light, leaving you to have to stop 3 secs later with no one there to cross !

Is bringing the car to a halt not enough?

I do that. I'm fully aware of how pointless it is, but I still do it for some reason.
I sometimes push it 2-3 times in quick succession - just to make sure, like!
