Sunday Read
Sunday for us in our house hold is a very slow relaxful day (Our cadbury's caramel day). If the boyfriend is at home, off work (which is normally one in two to three weeks unfortunately due to his work commitments). He tends to get showered, dressed and down the local garage for our Sunday paper while I usually make a good 'old English' for breakfast and pot of tea.
Or when he gets in from work on Our Sunday day of read, he normally brings the paper in with him. Sunday is not Sunday unless the paper has been read cover to cover to catch up on all the weeks news and gossip. except. . Forget the horoscopes (work, bills, and mortgage determines our future) and problem pages we have enough of our own I say.
Nowadays what with the papers spoiling us with the Sunday magazine, an extra read. AND IF LUCKY. . .the good old free DVD or CD. So who said Sundays are boring.
Then roll on Sunday lunch and pudding. . .

Victory for topless bathers
This is another beauty of my Sunday read. . .
WOMEN in Copenhagen have won the right to swim and walk around topless in public pools.
Feminism may have its downsides but, as the latest victory shows, some things are clearly worth fighting for.
In Copenhagen yesterday, the city's Culture and Leisure Committee voted overwhelmingly to allow topless bathing.
Frank Hedegaard, of the Socialist People's Party, said: "I cannot understand what some people find so offensive about women's breasts." The decision is the result of a year-long campaign by pressure group, the Topless Front, which says women should be treated the same as bare-chested men.
Campaign leader Astrid Vang, 20, who took her top off with others to protest at a leisure centre at Christmas, said: "We women would like to decide by ourselves when our breasts should be sexual and when not. "In swimming pools they should not and that is why the breasts should not be covered - We will bathe topless just like men."
The Danish campaign was inspired by a Swedish group called Just Breasts, which was formed after two women were asked to cover up their breasts by a lifeguard at a public pool near Stockholm. Swedish protesters carried out several full-frontal marches in their country but their tireless topless fight will not stop at swimming pools -- the perky suffragettes want to show tops the red card at football matches next.
One of their leaders, 22-year-old Ragnhild Karlsson, said: "We want our breasts to be as normal and desexualised as men's, so that we too can pull off our shirts at football matches."
Authorities in Vancouver, Canada - often considered to be a bastion of Victorian values - have allowed topless women in swimming pools and on beaches for several years.
The only protest against the move came from lifeguards who said they had problems knowing what to hold onto when rescuing swimmers.
The activists expect a flurry of similar campaigns-across Europe, including Britain.
However in France things seem to be going the other way. In 2006 so many women were going topless on Paris's summer beach a rule was brought in by embarrassed beaurocrats to ban topless bathing on the Seine.
Unbelievable. . .Either I am getting old and cringing at the thought of seeing this sight for real or we are so conservative here in England. (Yes we have the page 3 and boy when my cousins visited from Canada was shocked of a Newspaper read by the whole family and the page 3 exists to be looked at by one and all.
I think I'M GUILTY OF BOTH and proud of. Even if I had a size zero body, 20 years or MORE younger I still could not. . never. . its just not the norm in our society here.
It has always been wearing as little and leaving all to the imagination.
THE POOR LIFE GUARDS..totally understand their position what with the present moment in time is all about being politically correct. Any little thing is being predigest, sexist, or racist etc

THE WOMAN WELLLLLLLLLLLL. . GOOD LUCK TO THEM IF EQUALITY IS MAKING AN ASS OF THEMSELVES as they said "we will bath topless like the men"
OH PLEASE.. . . what happens when men come onto them, they no doubt will want the help of the life guards then to intervean. Or knowing Europeans the poor life guards having to break up fights from this the woman over there do fight like the men too.
Ive seen and read it all now!
This is the latest news read in the Sun Newspaper. . Quote:URINE for a shock if you wander into this toilet post-pub needing a wee.
These glow-in-the-dark men's' loos are designed to save fellas from having to fumble around for the light switch.
They use special fibre optics to brighten things up and come in a range of colours.
But if stores reckon Brits are going to install these in their homes at £330 a pop, you could say they're taking the....
Well what can you say. . From a females point of view and experience. I have learnt ALWAYS TO WEAR FOOT WEAR TO THE THROWN. There is nothing worse than when you have to go in the dead of night, half asleep and trod in something wet.
It certainly wakes you wide awake having to jump in to the bath and wash your feet, then washing the bath out.
Luminus or not Men do splash and miss altogether especially when they have had one too many.

A Cats life
If there is a choice to come back and here's hoping I can choose. . .
It would have to be a Cat, for starters they have the 7 lives thing...7 chances of stretching your life to the limits.
You can also be Black, Ginger, brunette or also mousy brown haired.
Free as a bird. . living the life in the wild hunting and catching your food Or being owned, spoiled to the limits of home, food on tap, cuddles, lying on the bed or even in front of that gorgeous gas fire.
(In Our home our boyz have just that. . ). Spend weekends away at their Grandads. My Dads when we are away on holls or just visiting and staying with my Dad. They have a Tuna day. A Chicken curry day. Fish and Chip day (minus the chips). Then their daily tipple of milk on tap.

WHY,WHY, WHY OH WHY ?
Do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are on its way out or even dead?
Why do banks charge a fee on 'insufficient funds' when they know there is not enough money?
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?
Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?
Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?
Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?
Whose idea was it to put an 'S' in the word 'Lisp'?
If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?
Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?
Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?
Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?
Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?
How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?
When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, 'It's all right?' Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, 'That hurt, you stupid idiot?'
Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?
In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?
How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?
And my FAVORITE...... The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.
The Question. . .That is the question. . why ask it in the first place
From time in memorial Men for some reason took the upper hand in asking that FOUR WORD QUESTION...Will you marry me. (IF ANYONE OUT THERE CAN TELL ME WHY MEN TOOK THE UPPER HAND IN ASKING THAT QUESTION DO REPLY. . I am truly interested). How/which/why when as in the year....too (history behind it). We can automatically assume it was the Hunter and gather syndrome. Men the stronger of the Sexes, the decider. No idea as to why myself!
But boy do I get fed up as the years move on and most recently I have read a lot of men complaining as to how they had been suckered into marriage. COMPLAIN. . COMPLAIN.. COMPLAIN.. (funny usually to woman only. ..is it a new chat up line). My question is why did you ask the question in the first place. . .were you that naive, stupid, or just desperate. Whether you are in a long term relationship(no getting married). Or Marriage even. It takes working at, you do when you start dating. Why does one of the partners or even both think it stops when you start to live together in cohabiting or marriage? That is the question.
TODAY. . I feel men do all they can to avoid (FULL) commitment to a relationship let alone ask that question will you marry me. So there is no reason for any man on earth to feel the need of obligation to their partner to ask that very question.
Men who really love their loved one, who really want to be with them for the rest of their life and feel they could never see themselves with any one else ever. Will only commit and ask that question within the first three to five years of being together. (Sorry for the directness).
Forget it if you ever just want to be married living in hope he will ask...
I say ever want to be married as I feel some people just want to be married. Not REALLY LOVE THEIR LOVED ONE, WHO REALLY WANTS TO BE WITH THEM FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIFE AND FEEL THEY COULD NEVER EVER SEE THEMSELVES WITH ANYONE ELSE.
SO. . .Those OF YOU who don't feel that way DO NOT ASK THAT QUESTION. . After all it is you who drive everyone else mad with your complaining.
Ohhhh and if it is the money and possessions you feel hard done by in divorce SPEND THAT MONEY ON A SOLICITOR AND GET THAT PRE NUP for god sake. .
IF NOT SHUT THE -UCK UP.

The story of Jim and Edna
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One Christmas Eve day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool, Jim suddenly jumped into the deep end He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there Edna promptly jumped in to save him She swam to the bottom and pulled Jim out. When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable. When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love, I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness. The bad news is, Jim, hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him I am so sorry, but he's dead" Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry! How soon can I go home?" Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have Jim and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital.
