If we dig deeper⌠down, down, deeper and down⌠we might think that the translation from âoriginalâ is more like: he chose the image in which we were made.
Even over a few years, words and phrases can change their meaning/intention 
so a few centuries or a couple of thousand years, well, imagine what gay meant way back whenâŚ
Come on Dan, lifeâs too short to bother about what people say, especially Simon.
Youâre right Tim - especially Simonâ:laughing:
I also found lots of other toys - cars, Lego bricks, etc. - which my grandsons enjoyed when they came to visit.
Also, beer, crisps, even ice-creams and choc-ices, and so on.
Even a few Euros.
Still trying!

Not always Ann - some of us respect, love and worship women as without them us blokes would have fucked it all up very quickly.
I have a large box of toys from baby to about 12. All stuff from my daughterâs youth, which I could not bear to part with (because we had paid good money or else they had memories attached).
We lend them out to âhonouredâ children and have never had a moments regret. They come back just a tidy as they went and the kidsâ pleasure is wonderful to see.

This may not count as âgite spoilsâ.
A couple of years ago we did a changeover where the incoming were the owners, they called us a couple of days after they arrived to thank us for cleanliness of the house and casually asked whether we had checked under the beds to which we said âyesâ apart from the divan as the base almost touches the floor. Stuck under the divan they found a cloth bag which contained two Cartier watches and three gold bracelets!
They contacted all the guests who stayed at the house that year but none said theyâd left anything behind so I guess finders, keepers.
Ha ha⌠I wonder what the cleaner thought when they found 1 sheepskin mitten left behind. I had a badly damaged hand and (for a while) I could only sleep when it was encompassed in a sheepskin mitt (to protect it).
Lol and another one for my âignored userâ list! Bye Tim 
Well thatâs ruined my evening Simon, now off to kick the dog!

Taking your ball home again Simonâ:laughing:
I actually had a look at the complex you worked for and thought it looked absolutely gorgeous.
I also looked at a Jane Jones gite complex which looked very nice.
Obviously I donât know if it belongs to Jane Jones on this forum. It had some nice white plastic sun beds so perhaps not.

No, we donât have any white plastic.
Green plastic?

We brought 2 expensive green plastic benches from UK to France. Excellent quality and guaranteed for 40 years. 
Sadly, one got stolen a few years later, along with the garden gate. The remaining one went flying during a raging storm and damaged a leg, which never really mended. We replaced with wooden/iron benches, too heavy to take flight. 
If I could find such good-quality plastic benches again, I would not hesitate. We still have a pair of (very comfortable) plastic reclining armchairs which are well into their 40âs. now. IMO excellent quality is worth its weight⌠but just not weighty enough

Iâm now intrigued as to what Janeâs sun beds are made of, better still Iâd like to see a photo of her gite.
Metal and material. We deliberately buy very little plastic. There are some plastic mugs and plates for very small children, and things like DVD covers and a bucket for the mop. If thereâs a choice of material then we will go for the non-plastic option.
The more we see on the news about plastic the more fundamentalist we are getting about not buying more. Havenât worked out a solution for the toothbrush, but we are finding that otherwise we can usually avoid it.
