Yep! New college...private internet!
At the old place I had to log on to the College internet and i now realise that they seemed to ban all forums. I could log on for a day and then got kicked off for a week...

However I must correct one of your comments: Dogs turn in circles to see which way the wind is blowing & lie facing into it to smell any dodgy stuff coming their way. (Which is why our spoilt 'hounds go around & around ALOT in our heated house!)
Just because you see two eyes shining in the jungle at night, do not think that the worse thing that could happen is that you are about to be attacked by a tiger. It could be two one-eyed tigers.

No, the men would go out and drag home a woolly mammoth and find the women sitting on the bear rugs with their legs tucked under staring at the cave paintings. Then the poor men would go out and gather some wood, nuts and berries and come home and the women would still be staring at the cave painting. Nothing changes.

I just find it really difficult to sit still with my legs on the floor. If I'm on a sofa, I sit with my legs up on the sofa but out in front of me. If I'm in a big enough chair (or even one that isn't) I tuck my legs up. I thought it was something to do with poor circulation making my legs ache.
I reckon it has to do with preserving ones maidenly modesty. Men generally sit with their legs akimbo, whereas women have the option of either crossing them (not good for circulation) or tucking them underneath (not good for your back). An Alexander Technique teacher once warned me of the dangers to posture of both lady-like seated poses; and since then, when appropriate, I too sit with my legs apart. It's quite liberating ladies, especially on a tube, as it means the blokes sitting either side of you can't take up half of your legroom space. .

That's the thing. If a man lies on a sofa , he looks awkward, woman look sublimely beautiful, leopards have this facility too. No matter how a leopard lies it is sublime, yes OJ before you say it I have just come back from the pub

Well I hope if there was anything waiting for you on the sofa,it wasn't the leopard!....mind you...no I won't go there.You've inadvertently reminded me of an old joke about an American,a beautiful women and a grizzly bear,and cheered me up no end.I'd have to be pretty hammered myself before I posted it on here though.

Good! Reminded me too about the one concerning a man, an ostrich and a mean cat in a pub too! Again a post too far for this site!
