I wear a cross on my necklace as an invitation to other people to ask me about my religious beliefs. I get uncomfortable talking to people about religion for fear of insulting or annoying them, which so often happens, so it's nice when someone sees my cross and asks me if I'm a Christian - then...

Well, I can't claim to be an expert, since I've only ever had one "first date" - but it was perfect. We went horseriding (my comfort zone), watched the sunset from the cliffs while eating a Chinese takeaway (breathtaking... and tasty) and then a jazz club (his comfort zone).

BUMP again. I want to talk horse!!:D I'm a groom at a small riding school / boarding stable in Italy. I'm in charge of 17 horses and ponies, running the yard, escorting trail rides, and I'm an assistant introductor. I'm not from a horsy family... I didn't ride until I was 16... but now I'm an...

I have inherited Reynaud's disease from my mum (if you don't know, it causes the blood vessels in the fingers and toes to contract and block blood flow, and is very painful). It's always been a bit of a pain, especially in the winter, but in the past I've been able to cope pretty well. But this...

Hello :wave: I'm new to photography and I'm trying to "collect" advice about how to improve my technique. I started out on film, but when my pictures came back my subject would always be framed too far to the right. After eye tests I discovered that I have a problem with my left eye which meant...

I used to love 24 so much. Well, I still do... in that I am still in love with the first 5 seasons. After that, well, I'm so upset to say it but I just don't care any more :cry: I've lost the characters I actually cared about and have been unable to make myself care about new ones, and the...

I love Criminal Minds, it's well-written and well-acted and I am glued to the screen when I watch it. My favourite character is Reid... he actually reminds me of someone I know (although without the triple Phd!)... and sadly I've also developed a rather sinful addiction to Matthew Gray Gubler...

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: I love my Cornwall too, and I miss it so much. I lived there from the age of 18 months. I used to spend my summer holidays in Scotland with my grandparents, and I've also lived in Cardiff (3 years for uni) and in the Channel Islands (6 months for work), and have been...

... but I haven't been on CF for over a year and my life has changed rather considerably since then, so I'd like to reintroduce myself if that's okay! I'm taking a kind of gap year as it were, working as a horse groom and assistant instructor - living the dream as it were! I went to uni and...

I've always wondered what it would be like to go riding whilst drunk. I have a feeling it would be something like this... or maybe like this... What do you reckon?!

Well, I'm a new Christian and there is a lot I don't understand, and I find the whole thing so overwhelming. He made me look at having a relationship with Jesus not as something only devout Christians can have but something that is achievable even for me. He also made me see that I make some...

Has anyone been to hear this guy talk before? He is an evangelist who travels around university CUs doing talks about Jesus. I went to see him last week and it was a great talk - he was funny and interesting and totally made me look at things differently. I went up to speak to him afterwards and...

Horse riding. :clap:

I don't know anything about volcanoes or Krakatoa but I thought the drama was really very good indeed. Interesting AND informative AND Rupert Penry Jones :D Golly I miss Spooks...

Jesus is my best friend, so I will love him forever.
