I don't know about your wrist but mine was under my left arm, in the armpit and it grew fairly large but looked like a shrivelled up walnut. It didn't hurt but once it was tied off with cotton eventually it disappeared.

Just to let you know about the quiz I went to last night-it was a bit of a shambles. Firstly the man helping the quizmaster had to go to hospital as he was unwell, and the quizmaster had to take him as he was the designated driver. Someone from a table came out to help with the scoring but he botched our table's up because the quizmaster had made 20 questions instead of ten and we had played our Joker on one of the rounds which meant double points but it was thought to be unfair so we lost points(as did another table) and then the scoring had to be re-added.
After all that we had no idea where we actually finished but the prize of some plants wasn't worth winning anyway-I will have to think seriously about next year because all I came away with was a headache from their PA system and the noise of all the people in the small synagogue-sheesh!!

I always forget what she did wrong. Was she the one who sent you to Afghanistan, or did she do something else?

A huge problem now is that the fascist Chrysi Avgi got 6% of the votes and will be represented in the parliament.

The conservative Nea Demokratia and "socialdemocratic" PASOK fell under 40% together.

Oh, and yes, Sarkozy is finally off the window but not much will change with Hollande. Two sides of the same coin.

No!mate! completely different.left and right.Social and liberalism.heaven and hell.Or contrary!Very worry for Greece neonazi.Doesn't feel good all this...

8, You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

In other words, "bearing false witness against your neighbor" covers any kind of falsehood: perjury, lying, slander, detraction, rash judgment, etc.

Comrade, obviously someone told you to expect the truth from a politician

Who was it, and how shall we punish him?

These elections in Greece and France can also be seen as referendums for what the people of Europe think. They are fed up with recession, crisis and austerity and made to suffer for problems that are not their fault. Saying that, we did all enjoy the ride at the time!

[Greenman]

I received a PM that someone noticed that there was another Greenman on here, well there are several but this one has a hyphen between his name and mine is all one word so you can't make a mistake as to which is which-my avatar is unique to me, and I have nearly 10,000 posts to my name. If anyone spots anyone purporting to be me please report it immediately to a Mod or Admin, but I am not worried as many people know who the real Greenman is here.

A hyphenated name - maybe he's an Upper class Green-Man

[Greenman]

My mistake it's more underscore Green_man than a hyphen.
Like Tigger though, "I'm the ONLY one"

Did anyone notice this story: According to a man in the Solomon Islands that took up a challenge by New Scientist magazine, James Bond has beaten the odds of dying 130 times surviving 4,662 bullets shot at him and dispatched 138 villains-according to all that the chances of Bond surviving that in real life is ZERO!
