    Do angels wear frocks when they're dancing on the head of a pin?🤔

    How can anything be the will of a mythical entity?  If this god thing really controls everything, then nobody is actually responsible for any crime or act of compassion as it was pre-ordained that this is what would happen.

    Show me one thing that is outside of cause and effect. Whether you believe in the big bang, G_d or Scooby-do, you don't have free-will, just the illusion of it. Every atom, quark, Higgs Boson... that is in its exact place today is in that place because of cause and effect. Whether a word or bang - every action since then was ordained as far as I can tell.What you're about to type was ordained billions of years ago. You are, in effect, a character in a story.

    It depends on whether men are willing participants in the activity or whether 'the will of God' is involved.
    More careful use of punctuation might have made the irony more obvious. @KT53 😉

    You should see my BIL's in their kilts.
    I think you will find that men have worn skirts since time immemorial.

    Making a toga would have involved fewer sewing skills than making a pair of trousers, I would think.

    It didn't always work like that .......... Ma once told me that when she first joined the Land Army she loved the freedom of wearing the uniform breeches ... until she started getting 'comments' and unwanted attention from men working on the farm etc ...  she was mortified ... after the war she never ever wore  trousers again, not even when helping Pa on the farm ...  She said that women's rear ends didn't look 'nice' in trousers when you were doing physica work which included bending.. . she meant that revealing the shape of your curves 'aroused' unpleasant thoughts in men.

    @fidgetbones   Sorry but I missed your post yesterday. Definitely plenty of spoiling and the weather is ideal for ice cream.   A week isn't really long enough but mustn't complain.  :)

    Finally getting my computer back from repair, after what seems a lifetime with out.

    Apologies to Dove from missing a shout, just another 170 Notifications to go through and some serious catch up. Apologies for any other missed shouts.
    I never knew retirement would be so busy. :smile:
