  sat last night with 3 smokers in their 50's.

  all were complaining about their teeth and how they were becoming very loose and how many had all ready lost several teeth by dint of them literally just becoming loose and then falling out.. englishman.

  Really, it seems that once you're approaching 50 a life-time of smoking takes it's toll. Plus, I think that lots of smokers just give up on their teeth because they going to get stained anyway and they don't see the point of maintaining them if they're always going to look like crap anyway. When you're younger, the enamel is good so teeth are less porous and clean more easily even if you do smoke. My pal Pete's teeth have just rotted away with all of the cheap cigars that he smokes. His breath smells of old cheese and is quite repellant.

  But he's still my pal even if he does smell.

  Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir
  Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine,
  With a cargo of ivory,
  And apes and peacocks,
  Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine.

  Stately Spanish galleon coming from the Isthmus,
  Dipping through the Tropics by the palm-green shores,
  With a cargo of diamonds,
  Emeralds, amethysts,
  Topazes, and cinnemon and gold moidores.

  Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack
  Butting through the Channel in the mad March days,
  With a cargo of Tyne coal,
  Road-rail, pig-lead,
  Firewood, iron-ware, and cheap tin trays.

  Ah yes, from the Quinquiremes of Empire to the tube train bombs of those who now hate us.. truly we are now just a Dirty British Coaster indeed..

  sad.

  Fishy problem.

  by mtbatoon in

  2. friends

  so ive had this fish tank set up for a year and a bit and the stock has slowly dwindled through one thing or another, the main being a bad water change when the ph dropped and some rather nasty silver tipped tetras who seem to have bullied themselves down to two in number.

  current residences are a plecostomous, coolie loach and the two remaining tetras.

  on saturday i bought five lady guppies and two flying foxes.

  The local pet shop has just started stocking marine and I'm well tempted but I'll see how I manage with the basics first.

  I've kept marine fish with some degree of success - eventually. Damsels are easy, clownfish aren't too bad. I eventually kept surgeon fish such as the Yellow tang, Teardrop tang and the Regal and Powder blue varieties. I made up my own food recipe consisting of mysis shrimp frozen together with spinach and then simply grated into the water at feeding time.

  Tetras are fin nippers and are closely related to piranha fish. Big fish eat little fish, so community tanks are in a constant state of flux. I've always kept my fish in a ratio of 1 gallon of water to 1 inch of fish which seems to reduce the amount of wear and tear fish inflict upon each other when packed in together more closely.

  Take the plunge, get rid of the lot and keep discus fish or similar in a species tank.

  I found about 8 or 9 from all over the country who would be of a similar age to me. Now the strangest thing has happened. Every person who posted their details and is still a JW has left Friends Reunited. The only ones left are the ex's. Now I haven't contacted any of the still practising dubs, so it's not me thats frightend them off. Also, few of the practising dubs that I knew were known to the other ex's, so it can't be them that's caused a problem that's resulted in the dubs leaving.

  So why would half a dozen or so practising dubs, pretty well unknown to each other, all leave a school reunion board that's virtually free of charge unless you pay to contact people?

  Has there been a KM prohibiting the use of such boards?

  Or something else?
