Ok. Remember the social experiment a few years back when a street thought they would be better off arranging their own services such as bin collections etc etc etc. Couldn't cope and couldn't afford it. Did not last any time before normal business resumed. Try walking 5 miles each way for dirty drinking water and you would soon change your tune. 

Obviously a council worker here with little grasp of facts (apart from maybe their pension fund)

 

I've news for you, my water is supplied and sewage handled by Yorkshire Water, a totally private company whom I pay handsomely. I believe this is a common arrangement.....

Severn Trent charge me a massive £18 per month for our water. 4 Bed property and helped by our 2,800 litre rain recovery tank under the back garden (used to flush the 3 toilets we have).Every cloud has a silver lining.

I promise not to tell your partner that he has been replaced by a Superb Climate Control panel.

It’s been some years since I last had a male partner, but my wife will certainly be interested in hearing  She’s stuck inside with a bad migraine while I’m out enjoying the sun haha

That makes it read like I’m laughing at her, I’m not! She’s better now though. She always gets a headache a couple of days after having Botox treatment for the migraines which has been very successful. It’s also a source of humour that she’s 2 years older than me but looks much younger as a result of the Botox. I’m not having it done, looks very uncomfortable!!

One of my Aunties married a Priest because she thought he would be faithful amongst other things. Turns out he was spreading a bit too much love with the Congregation and she divorced him having had 2 children which have grown up to be super brainy. She now has a female partner because of the hurt that selfish man put her through. Also got a male cousin who is gay and very happy with his partner.

It wasn’t because anything bad happened, life just happened. I met my wife through a mutual friend and we are still here 5 and a bit years later. I never felt I had to choose between genders, it just so happened that the person I feel I want to spend my life with is a woman, it could have just as easily been a man

I was actually laughing at @shyVRS245 thinking that she was a he. He really must learn to be more PC and be gender neutral  in his replies...

I'm really old compared to SASHA so PC to me means a Police Constable.

It makes no odds to me. My life echos to ‘you don’t seem the type’ comments, as if there is such a thing, I think sometimes people are just trying to be nice. A ex colleague of mine could never get to grips with it, she was forever bemused that I would choose to be married to woman, mostly because I don’t posses a shaved head and Harley Davidson, and neither does my wife. She assumed my wife must have possessed some masculine quality, not so. I don’t walk around with a big rainbow flag waving over my head so it’s a fair assumption to make

That's a lovely photo you both look radiant and very happy together. xman is usually the one digging himself out of a self inflicted hole BTW.

Says the one with the shaved head and a 513 nm manhood extension 

 

The nanometre or nanometer is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one billionth of a metre

Have my Dad to thank for the streamlined hair styling (genetics I believe). Usain Bolt always ran quicker when his hair was really short. That or the Starting Pistol frightened him when he was in the blocks.

You look like sisters in that photo, sasha.

 

We have two at work, and they are the nicest people there, you would not know looking at them.

No never had any faith in a higher being just there keeping the wife company while she enjoys the happyclappy social side of church. Do feel a bit of an imposter but not a hypocrite. Fascinating watching how people behave when they are surrounded by like minded individuals.

Well do it properly then and go there in style, trade the vRS in for a 4.4L diesel Range Rover with full leather interior.  Then the religious zealots, animal rights activists, and the environmentalists will all curse your name and send you to the fiery pit !
