I hate those people who want to hug the first time they meet you. I step back and spit "Honey, don't touch me!"

Nah, I'll have to take off the glasses for that too. And I'd loose the clip on thingies all the time.

Also, thick Kohl looks so much better because it stands out if you don't have any other make-up on. Just look at Theda Bara!

Also, it's much more traditional.

Kohl?

Never mind. Don't answer that.

When I hug I ALWAYS mean it.

Politeness and obligation only merits a handshake from me. I only press people I like up against my body (that sounds so wrong put in type. It isn't perverse really)

Is it weird that I feel nostalgia for physics?

Or maybe it's just the whiskey talking?

Damn. I've missed 2 whole pages without interjecting unwelcome, tasteless and irritating comments.

Although that reputation has now been proven wrong, I'd still like to point out that it's not a bad thing to take a bit of time to compose one's posts.

Edit: How about we let the Thread™ rest until RLacey's return? We can't kill it while he's away anyway.

Yeah, that's basically the same for me. Though I'm still really not comfortable to be hugged by anyone that is not close family, even if they mean it.

The first larger settlement of my town was in 500-600 AD by the Franks under Chlovis the First.

However, there's proofs of smaller settlements in the Bronze age (1800-1600 BC), which lasted until the Franks came. Beat that.

In my local area there is evidence of a settlement from the palaeolithic era, with 60,000-year-old archaeological finds.

Yeah, but it was not settled by the Franks, was it? And the Franks still live there. My father is one of the Franks.

Oh, and for some reason, when you go to my town's webpage and click on "History", they start at the end of the ice age (though that might be because it also is a history of the lands around the town).


Oh, and is the evidence of *a* settlement, or is there also evidence that that settlement eventually became the current one?
