I don't understand it, and I don't get that.
Saw a trailer for that film, it looked unbelievably terrible. It only lasted about thirty seconds but I was still forced to pluck my eyes out. I've had to have a transplant.
Good holiday?
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Now, I don't use nor do I wish to use the toaster but this is utter idiocy.
I have a toaster at home, we had one in our family when I lived at home. Virtually everyone i know has a toaster.
Of all the people I know who have toasters and often use them to toast various bread products I am not aware of any of their homes having burned down in a toaster related incident.
I really cannot stand people who have no idea of how health and safety legislation actually works, it shouldn't prevent you doing any normal day to day activity. The woman is a fool.
It's to stop people trying to dislodge bits that are stuck with a metal knife whilst still plugged in. Person gets electrocuted and grim compensation lawyers get cash off the company for allowing toasters in.

Utterly ridiculous. That's natural selection, those people are better off removed from the gene pool.

Ah, had to check it on my phone, work firewalls my ass on that site.
Quite like it. I used to work in the Heavy Woollen area, (Cleckheaton/Heckmondwike/Batley, etc.) the older generation more or less spoke their own language. WormInHand would not have approved.
In return for such words as mardy, nowty & assorted bread products I've taught him, monk on, mafting, nithered & cockled over all of which he refuses to use.
We're not allowed to use a microwave at work for some unfathamable reason, we have however been deemed sensible enough to use a kettle, pretty sure we'd be allowed a toaster.

Barm is a Lancashire word and as such has no place on a Rugby League site. A game invented in Yorkshire.

It's a long story, but essentially there was a whole series of threads on the Sin Bin arguing about the correct name for a soft bread roll. It got to the point where just about every thread got derailed and it spread to other boards, so Admin added a few words to the swear filter to put a stop to it.
Hold on to me baby, his bony hands will do you no harm It said in the cards, we lost our souls to the Nameless One

The Cat in the Hat film I think you mean was awful but as children's books go, I love Dr Seuss. The Sneetches is great and I think you'd enjoy it - described by Wikipedia that "an allegory for prejudice and discrimination, and also offers a lesson of materialism and entrepreneurship" with the central characters being some "vaguely avian yellow creatures who live on a beach". Right up your street.
The Fox is a character in another story, Green Eggs and Ham. The main character doesn't like green eggs and ham and is challenged throughout the story by the irritating "Sam-I-Am" about whether he would like them in a variety of other circumstances, all rhyming obviously. "Would you like them in the rain, would you like them on a plane?". This is just a bit cheeky "Would you, could you, with a fox?" Maybe it's me - I saw a very large lady on hols with a "Save a horse, ride a cowboy" t-shirt and smirked about it a lot. Smutfest.
I do like childrens rhyming books, though. Pass the Jam, Jim, The Giant Jam Sandwich, The Gruffalo. All brilliant. Not rhyming, but the Shirley Hughes books, especially Alfie and Annie Rose ones, always make me nostalgic.
