Span, I think it is totally cruel to leave fish nameless. Padraic's are called Shannon, Kieran and Bulletproof. Well were- Bulletproof died recently through overeating. Seriously, it stuffed itself until it died. jude

They like their no name status. They don't seem to have any discerning character or characteristics so to give them names would be odd. Maybe we just have bland fish. I hate fish, I have a phobia of sharks and dont llike anything that reminds me of them. Never understood how they are relaxing. when I moved in to my last house, someone had left a goldfish bowl with two fish in which I adopted and named Guy Bourdin and Monica Lewinski, turned out wierdly that they were my ex boyfriend's evil pyschotic ex girlfriend's. They jumped out the bowl a week apart, compacted my already held view. Fish are blah. Sorry Jude. Span

Nothing good ever comes from lust

One of the seven deadly sins, Pesky. Maybe he's really Kevin Spacey.

Oh, I wish I was a Kevin Spacey lookalike, too.

sex, joy, dizziness, life......Juliet

There's a difference between saying 'Lust can sometimes be negative' and 'I despise lust most out of all characteristics'. Makes you sound like some bizarro hyper-repressed Victorian spinster.

Lust is no good for me. Experiencing sexual lust, for me, always turns into pointless heartache. In other people it makes stalkers and rapists. It's one of the most self-indulgent things ever. Love on the other hand, I like.

I know. Murder. Greed. Corruption. Ben Affleck. Lust was the first thing that came to my mind, come to think of it. That's just something I'm personally trying to lessen.

No, I'm no Freud, but if lust was the first thing that came to your mind, I'd say you got issues, boy. Now, as for lust mixed with ten pints of cider - that's something the world could do without.

Lust will almost certainly keep you off the golf course. Visit my blog: http://whatisthisstrangeplace.blogspot.com/

Dolly mixtures from Marks and Spencers. And Cadburys chocolate buttons. 32. What is your favorite flower? I like tulips if they're pretty colours.
