It's quite simple, if you have a penis, you're male, if not, you're female. Even a vet could tell you this. When I was a kid I had a male guinea pig and bought what was represented as a female. I sat back waiting for the little guinea pigs to roll out. Never happened although there was a lot of humping. Always best to confirm sexes. I bought a male African Grey parrot from someone who had four males. He thought he had two females and two males and told me the bloody things wouldn't breed. I told him immediately (by just looking at their faces) that they were all male. He was most irritated. A lot of folk think you need to DNA sex them, but you don't, the male's head looks slightly different, it's hard to describe, they look slightly more butch, same as humans. |

The Far Right and Far Left have always been their own worst enemies. The problem is too many of the British voters are weak. They think that foreigners have human rights for some strange reason. |

Another aspect is that while I don't abuse my vehicles I do feel they should take me wherever I want to go within reason and a few dents and scratches are part of the program. I hit a deer a couple of years ago and added some additional styling to the hood. It still opens and closes fine. A friend noticed it last week and asked me why I didn't fix it. "Why? There are more deer out there." An uncle liked big barges with all the crap and when he bought a new one would come to our house and cajole my father into driving it. I don't know if it was planned or if my father was just operating in his normal fashion, but he turned on a rough gravel road we used frequently. You could here rocks hitting the under-carriage. When we got back to pavement Ernie insisted on getting out and inspecting the car for damage. That was the last time he tried to rope my father into driving a new car. |

You think we can't google? http://www.mandatory.com/the-world/1...p-friends-home What percentage of people do you believe that's happened to? If you have the same personality IRL, I'd be surprised if you made it through life without having your front room filled with liquified dog ****. Yeah, specially if he actually does what he claims to do when alarms go off. Very few people are stupid enough to have alarms. Another pathetic excuse for a troll. Everybody knows they just sound for no reason. Another pathetic excuse for a troll. No, it's true. Alarm faults are commonplace. Not when the alarm system is done properly. The trouble is that's not up to you or me how well the neighbours' alarms are done. Irrelevant. You don't get to tell them that they can't have an alarm. It's my ears that hear the ****ing thing. Stiff ****. You mean "tough ****". It's called noise pollution and it's illegal, especially at 3am! No its not with alarms. There is a specific law which I quoted - 15 minutes. More than 15 minutes of alarm is not allowed BY LAW. I've reported three neighbours and funnily enough their alarms don't sound anymore. Give us their addresses and we can tell them what to do thru your letterbox. They already know where I live, But obviously not what they should be doing to your letterbox. but British folk don't put things through letterboxes Is that right ? https://metro.co.uk/2018/05/30/man-7...erbox-7592037/ |

No thanks. We've never had anything other than mail and the odd local newspaper posted through our letter box. Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you actually are too stupid to use amazon, ebay, aliexpress etc. Why would anyone post anything else? Some want to **** others over, stupid. Easy, Nope. don't create enemies. Easier said than done with the worst of the loonys. That loony that burnt my mate's house to the ground, quite literally, wasn’t even an enemy of theirs, in fact they didn’t know her at all.

Ok, but extreme loonys who do thing like that are still very rare. But the number of arseholes that choose to drop some turds or something they light before they put it thru the letterbox arent. But in the UK, we simply don't have that problem. Obvious lie. In 43 years nothing but post has come through my letterbox. That will change when I tell your neighbour where you live. I would think my neighbour, by definition, knows where I live. Then post his address so I can suggest what he puts thru your letterbox. As I already told you he, and the other several neighbours, already know me, what I'm like, and where I live. And I already told you I need their addresses so I can suggest what they should be pumping into your letterbox. Given that they are obviously stupid slum denizens, they need all the help they can get. They're stupid, yes, but it's not a slum. Most of them own about 4 cars, less than 3 years old. That’s what slum dwellers do. Slum dwellers can't afford that. Bull**** they can't. Where does the money come from? They get a car loan, stupid. |

Ok, but extreme loonys who do thing like that are still very rare. But the number of arseholes that choose to drop some turds or something they light before they put it thru the letterbox arent. Maybe in a country where everyone's descended from convicts. But in the UK, we simply don't have that problem. Yeah, you're descended from the people Ivar the Boneless didn't think worthwhile to round up and take to the Dublin slave market. We use the Irish as slaves, not the other way round. The Irish aren't bright enough to think for themselves. They thought themselves out of your ****ty empire. No, they couldn't handle it and ran away. Even more pig ignorant than you usually manage and that’s saying something. Funny how you always say that when you don't have an answer. That is the answer, ****wit. You couldn't even keep a little island a ferryboat ride away under control. We didn't want them here. Odd that they have always been free to come and go as they please. And they left when we treated the scum badly. Even more pig ignorant than you usually manage and that’s saying something. No wonder why you lost India, Africa, and the Mid-East. The IRA taught them well. We gave them back due to being too "humane". Even more pig ignorant than you usually manage and that’s saying something. It's true. Amritsar was very humane, eh ? Ditto with Kenya, Malaya, Aden etc etc etc. Modern society (United Nations et al) requires us to be nice to the enemy. Must explain Amritsar, Malaya, Kenya, Aden, Suez etc etc etc. Prisoners of war and all that ****. None of that with Amritsar, Malaya, Kenya, Aden, Suez etc etc etc. Of course, there are those thick transplanted Scots in Ulster. Won't they be screwed when the Republic is in the EU and they aren't? Mayapparently isn't smart enough to come up with a working plan for a soft border. There is no need for any plan. The Irish were the thick ****s that loved the EU, Hardly surprising given all the EU handouts they got. That's the trouble with the EU, ****ing left wingers stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Didn’t realise that Barnier and Junkers were the poor. they even took their currency. They had no choice on that when they joined. We joined without the currency, you can join parts and not other parts. Not anymore. If you want to join the EU, you have to be part of the eurozone and schengen and nato. Their problem. Nope, yours now. Why? We'll just ignore them. That’s clearly working so well for May currently. |
