Louse is deluded or confused about he assets.

Just because I associate with people who drive big flash cars does not mean I have on too.

Regular cars are both small familly cars :D

Driving a tiny Nissan Micra which is giving me chronic back ache!

I've sat and spent many a night on a half broken park bench in more comfort!

A week now and still no news on the car. :(

Hay Fever!!

Postby DavidF » Thu 15 Jun 2006 12:39 pm

Yeah I'm up for taking park in the research to find if KISSING REALLY DOES CURE HAYFEVER Just as long as I know who is taking part aswell.

But like I said before it doesn't work.

Louise I'm sure you having us all on about this.

Where on earth did you read such a thing like this.

In fairness to Louise, I don't think she said that the research indicated that kissing wouldhelp prevent hay fever. I think she said "snogging". This involves kissing, and is defined in the OED as the transitive of the verb to snog: The action of kissing and caressing amorously.

Maybe you become so involved in the moment that you forget to sneeze! :D

I think that Gareth is setting up a double blind trial, but as all subjects have to be selected at random I am afraid that no participants can actually choose with whom they are partnered.

:D

I read it in a nursing mag, just as I've seen a paper on the net [ a real study yes] about the positive effects of spanking on mental health by a Russian psychiatrist. You'd be amazed what's out there! Double blind trial eh...which for those of you who don't know what that means - those of us who are severely visually impaired are blindfolded to make us doubly blind...honest
John, type 40 it is!

Russian / former Soviet psychiatry is scary stuff. And I love the explanation of a double blind trial... I shall have to remember to include it in my next research project this year :D
