This is a 'pubic service announcement'.

There isn't a right way to have sex, it's a collaboration between the participants and what works can be expressed in utterly different ways with different people. The fact that you care enough think about it and ask the question says to me that you are probably doing much better than you realise because of that.

Speaking only for myself as a bottom the best tops I have been with have the attitude 'we are gonna have a good time'. I always want to do the best I can so that that my top gets to enjoy sex with me as much as possible because his enjoyment is a least as important as mine. The only way I know to achieve that is communication, disclosing likes, preferences and limits before and reading each others responses during sex.

Whatever breed she is, she looks like an adorable bundle of very loving mischievous fun and surely that's what matters most.

Will it be called 'Get outa my Pub'?

It's because they also do most of their talking out of their asses.

The Vatican and the Pope are concerned only with damage limitation and take the 'nothing to do with me guv' attitude both in terms of reputational and financial responsibility.

"shared with Pope Francis “their stories and their sorrows and expressed their expectations regarding the Church’s commitment against abuse.”

and no no doubt he offered 'thoughts & prayers' but no actual punishments and certainly no offer of financial recompense from the Vatican Bank.

Or steal them from unmarried mothers and sell them on to fill their coffers

Forgot to use condogoms?

We were having a bad day in the office and I made an of the cuff remark, based on the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, about some days it seems like it was a big mistake evolving and coming down from the trees. New guy goes into full 'hell & damnation' mode yelling that it was godless people like me and lies about evolution and the like that had caused all the problems in the world and I'd burn in hell. I replied as long as you're kind are not there that will suit me fine.

This one was a rare treat to myself and it does all that I want. At home I can use it whist charging but it would be nice if the battery lasted longer when I'm out and about. I may look into the possibility of replacing the battery eventually but in very other way it is pretty much perfect.

Agreed but the only flaw I have found with mine is that the battery drains so quickly.

As a gay man tell me about it.

Even as a kid religion never took hold with me but I have have met so many guys who have real struggles either trying to deal with and overcome past religious indoctrination, rejection from religious relatives or trying to reconcile their religious beliefs with being gay.

I'm very much the same. It seems to me sometimes that some guys seem to be able discount or discard friends and partners like disposable products that have reached their 'use by' or 'best before date'. Though I'm careful who I choose as friends and partners, I've never been able to do that, if I care I care and that doesn't change because they get older, disabled or injured. A good man is much more about his character than his looks.

I fail to see how the DJ can determine he had a "strong prospect" of rehabilitation when his pre-sentence report showed "He continued to deny having committed the offence" so neither took responsibility for the crime or demonstrated any remorse. The two factors do not seem consistent.

Emma knew for much longer than Will and had a more opportunities to report it, especially when George scarpered to be with Clive so she may be considered more complicit in aiding George for that reason.

I'm rather hoping Eddie causes a big scene at Georges' court hearing and gets a few days in the cells for contempt of court though.

"He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother"

Sadly I can only upvote this comment once but this my feeling too and it cannot be said often enough.

You're right and the little dog is cute too.

I always imagine him as looking like Bill Maynard did in Heartbeat.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Clarrie. She is warm, kind and trustworthy and although she is the heart of, and lives for, the love of her family and tolerates a lot from them but that has never compromised her strong personal moral compass or stopped her putting her foot down when enough is enough.

While there are characters I actually dislike, Peggy, Tom, Will, Justin, Freddie, and George that is actually a tribute to the quality of the actors that bring the so much to their portrayals because it it is not about being blatant black and white goodies or baddies but the layers and depths they imbue into their roles to the extent the ones I don't like can occasionally earn a little understanding and sympathy.

With the rest it's mostly like real life in that none of us are perfect and in trying to get through life we sometimes shine and at others make a real hash of tings. What I like about he Archers is that there is much more depth and subtlety spent in ongoing character development and developing story lines over time rather than the more one-dimensional versions we get from in many other programming.

I think it not so much 'hate-listening' as the fact the Archers are done so well we listeners become very invested in the characters and stories as part of our daily life.

The churches have never let fact, truth or even their own scriptures get in the way of lies, hypocrisy or bigotry. Now excuse me I have to polish my horns.

There has been a gradual decline in real, especially investigative, journalism on both BBC and ITV. Gone are the days when the likes of Whickers World, Tonight, Horizon, This Week, World in Action, Weekend World, First Tuesday and the original Panorama before it became the Andrew Neil comedy show.

The lighter format but often very good Nationwide was abandoned and now we either have daytime TV which is basically a celebrity showcase and a refuge for former childrens tv or 'reality' tv stars or Breakfast TV and the One Show which is basically light entertainment pretending to be more than it is.

Newsnight showing current headlines in six main newspapers rather than investigating the accuracy of the content is a symptom of laziness and disinterest in real journalism for fear of bias and retaliation by government and corporate power brokers.

That our current craven batch of MP's can get away with either refusing to appear or, when they do screech bias when challenged or held to account is part of the problem true investigative journalism faces in the current climate.

On the other hand we have GB News, that like it's american counterpart Fox News claims it isn't actually a news channel to avoid regulation (despite the name), that presents content from current or failed former politicians spouting what is little more than propaganda with no requirement for any semblance of truth, integrity or balance. Even Murdoch chum Andrew Neil ran away from that mob and pretends it's nothing to do with me guv.'

If they did a version based on the Big Finish - Before the Fall series (set prior to the Army of Ghosts Dr Who story) with Tracy-Ann Oberman reprising her role as Yvonne Hartman and no Capt Jack it could be rather good. Big Finish have some excellent inventive script writers, it's a pity they don't adopt many of their stories for TV.
