feeling confrontational tonight :)

pop up a subject, argue one way and we will see if we can have a rational opposite view ...

I think that we should revert back to Marathon instead of Snickers, Jif instead of Cif and Opal fruits instead of whatever they are called now.

Not confrontational but would like help with an explanation for my nephew.

He says the horizon does not exist because all of the fish would fall out of the sea when they swam there and he wants to know if there is a big waterfall over the horizon. This from a child who lives bt the sea.

I am stumped for an easy explanation

I truly dislike people who - either on the internet or in real life - think their opinion is the be all and end all and make no allowances for other people's thoughts or feelings.

But that's just a stupid statement Sue. We just know we are right and people just don't understand us.

Why should you have a "home hub" when I haven't. Are you special?

It's not fair. lol

SRS, Tina...stop being so resistant to progress! Sweetie makers have to make a living you know , and 'renaming and rebranding' brings a whole new customer base...'original' is not necessarily 'better' ;)

Libby ..... I am thinking really hard lol

The fish do fall out of the sea but some of them haven't reached the horizon yet and that is why there are still fish in the sea.......for now.

The fish do fall out of the sea, but God has put a big net at the edge and he tips them back in....but of course that pre- supposes the existence of God, which can only be proven by falling off the edge of the world ...................sooooo best to have a bar of chocolate and watch CBBC for a bit with auntie Libby ;)
