  10. i expect mrs fish to do all that was expected of a woman in my grandmothers day. i do however do 90% of the cooking as ime an ex chef and can cook very well,but i expect her to clean,do the washing ,iron what is needed,wash up,feed the animals,bath the 4 kids,do the nappies,sort out finances,we shop together as she is still not able to be trusted to check all the prices and work out what is the better deal ,and i expect her to help with work at our 2 allotments.the one shauvenist thing i do absalutely insist on is a coffie waiting for me next to the pc when i get up and the fire lit.

  17. i fully support thos who would fight the ban on snaring,but consider this,who the hell is going to know if you are snaring? and secondly if the scots want independance this is the trade off ime sad to say.and thirdly if you scotts dont get behind this campaign to keep snaring you will lose the right to snare full stop,and it wont stop there,my sport was banned in th 60's no one kicked up a stink then! dont let it happen again! is there a petition running to downing street or the scotts equivilent?
