Live by the sword...

MJay101 @MJay101 (710) 11 Jan 10

A few days ago, a scandal broke out in British Politics: Iris Robinson, the wife of Northern Ireland's first minister, was exposed by a BBC investigation as having obtained £50,000 from two property developers - money which was...

Religion and (in)tolerance...

MJay101 @MJay101 (710) 9 Dec 09

So here's a controversial question. I've posted on a few threads in 'religion'. In one, I was pointed in the direction of a link to an article catchily entitled: 'Evolutionist Admits Godless View Of Our Origins May Be Harmful...

Trojan / virus attack after using MyLot...

MJay101 @MJay101 (710) 3 Dec 09

Has anyone else experienced this? Since I've been on MyLot, using my work PC (obviously; it's not like I actually do anything...), I've had three serious trojan attacks whilst using the site... I happen to have a fair idea...

Use of slang in conversation and literature...

MJay101 @MJay101 (710) 2 Dec 09

I responded to a thread earlier about confusion over the word: "geezer". To me, use of this slang is commonplace (well, vaguely)... But what's common in your country / town / household? I think language is intensely...

Share a joke!

MJay101 @MJay101 (710) 28 Nov 09

Self-explanatory, this one. Paddy gets an interview for a position on a construction site. The foreman asks: "Can you make tea?" Paddy responds: "Aye, sure I can!" The foreman then asks: "Can you drive a fork-lift...

Desert Island Discs...

MJay101 @MJay101 (710) 15 Nov 09

Okay - I'm sure this has been done before on MyLot, and I'm sure it'll be done again, but still, it's Desert Island Discs time! You're shipwrecked on a desert island. Fortunately, some goods survived the wreck: enough food and...

What's for dinner tonight?

MJay101 @MJay101 (710) 13 Nov 09

I'm making a fish stew: muscles, prawns and flaked white fish fillets. Served with chips and veggies! Could be delicious; could be a disaster! I suppose it rather depends what herbage I can rustle up to pick up the flavours...

Muse: The Resistance

MJay101 @MJay101 (710) 13 Nov 09

I've delayed purchasing the album... I own all the others and describe 'Muse' as one of my favourite bands. But I heard some of the tracks played on MTV (and whatever other music channels we have bundled with Sky), and I have...

My partner owns a wee house near Belhaven in North Carolina. She's been over there just once, for two weeks, and has organised the refurbishment of the property... I might be going there this Easter, for my first trip! What...

England vs. Brazil

MJay101 @MJay101 (710) 13 Nov 09

Terry might be out... Gerrard and Lamps missing... Anyone care to venture an opinion as to how many England will ship against Brazil tomorrow? Any score predictions? Whilst Brazil haven't exactly been on sparkling form of...

I just got a raise!

MJay101 @MJay101 (710) 13 Nov 09

I practically bounced home, despite the heavy rain... Found out my exam results today for a qualification in financial planning - I passed! Not only does this rock in the very obvious sense, but I also got a raise of £2,000...

'Large amounts' of water on Moon

MJay101 @MJay101 (710) 13 Nov 09

What do MyLotters think of the news story that NASA has found water on the moon? "The space agency smashed a rocket and probe into a large crater at the lunar south pole, hoping to kick up ice. Scientists who have studied...

Low Carb dieting for the inept!

MJay101 @MJay101 (710) 12 Nov 09

So, about three months ago, I started the low carb diet. My partner wanted to lose some weight before Christmas, and I kinda got sucked in... But I'm a bit a of a low carb evangelist now: it really works! I tipped the scales...

Pet names for pets!

MJay101 @MJay101 (710) 12 Nov 09

So, what are your cats called? And what are their nicknames? We have two cats. One is called Angus. He's a lovely cat; but very old, and a little porky. (Okay, he's pretty huge...) He's been to the dentist more than once...

Golden boot in Premier League this season?

MJay101 @MJay101 (710) 12 Nov 09

The big question (now that Liverpool look unlikely to do anything in the league): who is going to win the golden boot? My money is on Torres (obviously), but what do MyLotters think? Arsenal's Van Persie? Chelsea's...
