Well said Jim. Tidy is as tidy does. (^_*)

[murraymints]

EEK Togo..that's biblical !!

[Togo]

Barmaid has it. Does that mean that all cleaners and people employed in any service industry for maintaining, for instance health and safety standards, are better at it if the are racist?

[Togo]

Lol Minty....had a rush of blood to the heed there.

The house is a mess, we have had a 'crap' pile of some description for the last 17 years outside, you have to wade through the rubbish in my car .....

So make of that what you will.

I'm getting my boiler serviced in a few days. As the week progresses I'm obviously going from being the most anti-racist person one could possibly be to being just quite anti-racist.

Lol @ Ludwig. I always thought that riding your bike on the pavement made you a psychopath, although I agree with the shopping at Lidl connection.

Yeah, it's not clear if you go there because you're depressed, or if going there makes you depressed though. They're still doing the research on that one.

[Togo]

Can you organise some research for Mikey Ludwig? :))

Herr Hitler was notably neat and tidy so that proves it.

[Togo]

Its easy to be "tidy" when you only have one though Douglas. :))

[ludwig]

//Herr Hitler was notably neat and tidy so that proves it.//

He was also a vegetarian. I've always had my suspicions about those b4sterdz.

[Togo]

This "research" looks more like a bunch of scruffy layabouts trying to justify their indolence. :))

[naomi24]

Dare I say I erm .... fluctuate? (Shut it!). :o)

[jim360]

If you fluctuate so that you're only racist on alternate Tuesdays then I guess it's still tidy in a way :P

[aelmpvw]

must be true, all the knuckle dragging racists i've seen interviewed have had very tidy haircuts ...

[naomi24]

Haaa! Nothing tidier than a shaved head.

[Togo]

Well I have had a laugh this morning. Unfortunately I need to tidy myself up and get my errands done. Can't make my mind up whether to be casual "tidy" or smart gentleman of leisure "tidy".

[andy-hughes]

It does appear that the link is tenuous, and really doesn't prove anything.

I am always unsure who thinks up these research programmes, and what they actually gain from them in terms of actual scientific progress.

These seems far too woolly and bereft of rigour to be useful as anything other than a media puff piece, and hey presto, that's exactly what it is.

it's another nonsense stat. if you recorded the colour of the underpants of every drink driver then one colour would come out on top. Does that mean that anyone wearing that colour is more likely to be a drink driver? Nope, load of old pony!
