;D Aww, your nickname could have been "Muffy" though! ;D Do you think what you're called can affect the way your treated and how you live your life? I think if I'd been called that my life would have been quite different! why? Whilst I had a bit of stick at school with reagrds to my name. I'm more than proud of it now. Yanick don't panic was the text piss take

Yanick don't panic was the text piss take PMSL, that's pretty innovative compared with what you get when you're "Julian." It was all: "Julie, Julia, Juliet" or "Julian Clary" I do think "Myfanwy" also sounds a bit like a Librarian... maybe I've not met enough of them lol?!

Myfanwy that would be my fanny! That's assuming kids would know how to spell it! ;D "Muff and Wee" comes to mind though! Could be worse H, he could have favoured "Angharad" or even "Blodwen"

Me and my lass have been having our differences lately.... well she has been having her own thoughts and i just keep quiet in the hope of saying nothing means you cant be vilified for anything you say... Anyway one thing she has been worrying about and which has caused friction is her getting old... and no matter how much i tell her that she is gorgeous or good looking it just don't seem to sink in... Well today being valentines day we exchanged presents and she bought me a small joke book of poems I asked her to think of a number and she said ten... the pages weren't numbered and i started from the back.... the page i came to had a poem something along the lines of although you are weathered and your bits are or drooping i still think your gorgeous... it made her cry but not with unhappiness but with i think at last realization i do love her no matter how she looks... we met by way of fate... and so many coincidences happen along the way... just wondered does anyone else believe in fate.. Is it possible to cringe to death? I do kind of believe in fate, but cheesy romantic stories like that do make me cringe, probably because I'm not capable of making one myself.

Fate, or "God's Plan for the World" If a Deity is subject to Fate, then they are no Deity at all! Point taken about the cheese factor

Fate = whatever will be will be whether you like it or not...
Everything but everything that happens either good or bad does so for a reason

Don't know about Welsh Thesaurus' but mine defines reason as " an explanation of the cause of some phenomenon" and " a justification for something existing or happening"

Are we discussing this on an intellectual level or not?! "Reason" implies a rationale, a purpose for an action taking place "Cause" just suggests any impulse which led to an action occurring! It is philosophically different...

It is philosophically different... " purpose" implies the action was deliberate... that's not always the case surely there can always be an arguement to "rationalise "

Not everything has a reason/purpose - some things just occur! To some extent the difficulty here is in deciphering the meaning of language - what are you saying in your second paragraph, the point escapes me?!

no Jules nothing " just occurs".... that was the point I was making.....There is a reason for everything..... How can something "just occur" without something causing it ? ?
