My story is something that made me laugh last week .

 

Whilst I was staying with friends in Turkey, we had a discussion one evening about regional accents, both in England and Turkey.  Several accents were replicated as near as possible and we decided which accents we liked and disliked.  I explained that the Liverpool (not too "thick"/"broad") and Newcastle accents were favourites of mine.

This isn´t funny in itself but I had to keep a straight face whilst I was on the flight home because:

My KLM flight from Istanbul to Manchester involved a transfer at Schipol (that´s another story and not very funny ).  I got to my aisle seat in Istanbul and, after a few minutes a young woman and an older lady came to take the other two seats.  They were in conversation with each other and, although I wasn´t listening directly, I assumed they were dutch as I couldn´t understand what they were saying and we were scheduled to change at Schipol.  After about an hour the passengers were updated on the delay to the flight and many were concerned they may not make their connecting flights.  As the cabin crew completed the announcement the lady next to me turned to me and asked me, IN A VERY BROAD LIVERPUDLIAN ACCENT "Excuse me, are you flying to Manchester?"

What can I say . . . there was a lot of aircraft noise {#emotions_dlg.whistle}

Children are the blessing from God.

 

a gift from god, or a predictable consequence of mommy and daddy having a good time (or "sinning" in your language)?

You know, "it" doesn´t always happen....Case in point the multi-billion infertility industry....some spend mega bucks and get nothing...others hardly breath in the same room and bingo....very interesting............call it what you will....but it is not really that predictable.

Well I saw the movie "The Men Who Stare at Goats ". I wonder it is possible to conceive a woman by just staring at her..

 It always happens. Not always for the women, but sure enough for the men. Okay, it´s not so special, in a white room with some magazines. But a sin none the less.

I mean for making a baby If there is a baby, it happened somewhere. Unless we´re talking about clones, but as far as I know they´ve only cloned animals up to now.
