Random Thoughts... I wanna hear 'em!

You can tell her there’s a presumption under English common law that any property given by a parent to a child is a gift & is legally (not just ethically) the child’s, regardless of who paid for it. Err..it’s prolly a bit late for that now but it’s the principal damnit. So very uncool & assholery

Nothing's ever too late. I shall get some paper, a calligraphy pen, and quote this; beautifully framed, as this year's crimble present. I'm sure she'll love it and put it in the loo (in pride of place).

And before anyone says anything, no it isn't a 'grudge'. It's giving a gift that's the gift of knowledge. If it were a grudge I wouldn't colour co-ordinate it to, ofc, 'fit in with existing decor', and I am not that mean!

Lol Indian Giver. She did it last crimble. so it's no different now. She realised I hadn't used the toiletry set she'd got me the crimble before. It was still all in it's box with bow. It was her favourite make. She got very incensed. Said I was ungrateful. Took it back to use it herself. I didn't realise there was a time limit. Plus I kind of use the brands I always use. Was saving it for 'emergency supplies'. I could've re-gifted it if I was truly ungrateful! Oh well, it's gone to a better place now. Once the dust had been wiped off it ("dust dust dust, there's DUST on this box!!! were you born in a barn?!!"). It was crimble. Was I being asked if I was Jesus?

Looooooooool. Hilarious.

And yes, that ELO song rocks. It really cheers you up!

^Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Doo da wop, doo bee doo da wop, do wah doo lang...

Aww, brilliant idea EM!! The gift of knowledge haha. Colour co-ordinated & everything . That's beautiful.

I’m sure she’ll love it. She’s very deserving of it. You might also want to serve her with a Statement of Claim, as service for the value of the toiletry set she stole from you, that you'll be suing her for. Wrap it up with the lovely framed quote - extra generous. Heartwarming haha.

Maybe you could bless her while she opens it – being Jesus and all

Aw your mum & my dad would have made such a great pair. Two seriously appalling human beings.

My (totally dysfunctional, not to be taken by anyone in their right mind) advice for any relationship break up is - put on a short skirt & go out & get laid, then start another relationship on the rebound with the first person who asks you, even if they're completely & very obviously wrong for you. Start cycle again at next messy break-up.

If it weren't for tourist dollars from Canadians and Europeans, and the Cubano diaspora sneaking US $ back to their kinfolk they'd have been done in long ago....

Not that I support the embargo. An illogical relic from the cold war. Not like the Sovs have missiles parked there. Nikita pulled those when Jack offered to pull ours out of their backyard. Reason 35345 why the CIA whacked Jack, I'm sure. What the hell, making peace and not war, what kind of President is that....

Well when Castro comes out of his three super mansions that have all been glued together by the Political Prisoners, and says: "Amigo's we are bankrupt" and the UN says: "what are you going to do?" and he says: "I was hoping we could join the EU".

Yeah, it is a nation where the main senior positions in the government have "General" in it and are directly involved with the military. Why does the military need an attorney exactly? Have they all been put on trial for what happened at Pinkville?

Even when I was young and skinny, not sure I EVER looked good in a short skirt... just sayin'.

knocked knees?

Aww brilliant, I just did a search for Jaden Smith. Will Smith's son (& Will Smith & anything Will Smith-related...& any bloke with red hair & a Scottish accent) can definitely get away with that. How cool is that? I want to shake his hand - f*** you society & your stupid rules . I'd love to see more men in dresses.

Snag, you never know, it might just suit you. Just remember to put the pants back on before you take on the wasps
