Not on this thread there isn't Brendan. The larder thread is posh.

When you phone so called "customer services" and you're on hold for ages and the dire hold music gets periodically interrupted by a voice imploring you to visit their website instead. I mean, where do they think you got the fucking number from that you just dialled to listen to this tosh in the first place?

What's this? Brum, you can't cook. I feel cheated.

PeRose - very kind - but if I was ever on the back of your bike I would probably break one of your ribs I would be holding on so tight. 40mph - that fast huh! Scary. Each to their own. I can't ride a normal bike so I've just emailed this chap I found on the internet who teaches adults to ride bikes. If you see me wobbling about please don't laugh - it's cruel. Px

Nothing at all - Santana

Can we stretch this to include famous words that were never actually spoken: "Elementary, my dear Watson" "Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him well." "Play it again, Sam" "Kiss me Hardy" I bet PGC could fill a page.

I haven't ruled it out T-Max. Am still thinking about it. Px

Hello Brendan - happy new year and welcome home. It's been bloody cold here. Px

Bless you Iain - but I happen to know that you have no spare time on your hands.

I went quadbiking yesterday and I didn?t die. Ta da. I know ED is full of James Bond types who think nothing of throwing themselves out of aeroplanes and such but ?? I just want to say that I was very frightened but I did it anyway and I didn?t complain. I?ve steered today?s water-cooler moments towards ?what we did at the weekend? so I could slip it in and be all nonchalant but that?s been time consuming and random so I thought I would just start a thread. Besides, I?m not sure anyone believes me and I've been getting "looks". I'm nobody's idea of action woman and the nearest I get to an actual adrenaline rush is Selfridges on a Saturday afternoon. I?ll still readily throw myself into a mosh pit but I?m so out of there if anything kicks off. It was (for me) a bizarre choice of Sunday morning pursuits but that?s the point. My bitches had been laughing at me ? to my face (I can totally slate them as they don?t know about the Forum) so at all costs I wanted to fight my way out of their pigeon hole. I suggested qadbiking to them as an alternative to a day at the spa. The bitches wouldn?t bite so I took one of their husbands with me instead. It?s actually rather dangerous you know. I physically shook in my wellies as the leader talked us through safety, explained that the waterlogged terrain was the most dangerous they had ever known, and handed out vile green waterproof overall jobbies. I have no plans for anything further ? although I have had a text saying ?what?s next, parachuting in heels??. Fekkers.

You can buy Skin So Soft direct from the Avon site and it's as cheap as chips. I've been buying it for at about 20 years so it's an old (and best-selling) product. Most definitely works as a mosquito and midge repellant and it's shipped in bulk to by the British Army serving all over the globe. http://avonshop.co.uk/beauty/b/bath-and-bodycare/skin-so-soft.html The best product is the dry skin oil, but personally I supplement this with the bath oil as I have dry skin. This two pronged attack works for me and I never get bitten. I don't think it works for everyone though. Here's a testemonial/discussion: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hubb/staying-healthy-on-the-road/avon-skin-so-soft-anti-40852

Fact - Avon's Skin So Soft is the best thig in the known world for keeping away mozzies

I saw Ronnie Wood in the flesh wearing Uggs - at the Pearl Jam Shepherds Bush Empire gig last year. They played All Along the Watchtower together. It was brilliant. Funilly enough I wasn't focused on Ronnie's boots. It's on You Tube I'm sure though if you want to check out Ronnie's boots. Just search on Pearl Jam / Ronnie Wood.

I have the SquareMeal venue hiring guide you can have if you want. Don't know what it has for SW London offhand but it covers the country. Otherwise try the SquareMeal website.

Favourite Dylan song constantly changes but today I am thinking: All Over Now Baby Blue (adore the Bryan Ferry version) One More Cup of Coffee You Belong to Me (always brings a tear) Just Like a Woman Covenant WEoman Simple Twist of Fate What Can I Do For you? Oh heck, did I have to pick just one? Can't do that. I don't rate him as a singer though and his gigs are very dull.

Well done Mr Ben. And will you be buying yourself a shaping vest to go with your boy Uggs?

It's so funny. Can't you do something more meaningful like..... erm.... dunno.

Well yes, quite, that was my take on it too. Women have been pushing themselves up and pulling themselves in since forever. Now its the boys' turn. Apparently.

???? - there's a distinct echo following you about at the moment

OMG - I can't believe all the lushes on this thread trying to lay the blame with their poor innocent little pooches. For shame!

Tony - passion is an excellent beginning but it isn't enough. Passion is useless without persuasion*. There nothing to be gained by storming on here and having a pop at admin et al - you've immediately taken your own argument off onto a tangent. Admin does a great job and it IS his forum - he pays for it and he puts the hours in. Frankly if this thread hadn't been lounged then I would never have seen it. I haven't got the time to read about the issues at the moment but I will make time later. * it's the second time I've said that this week - but who's counting

Brum - you are a fine example to us all. Pxxx

Spot on Atila. I guess on a community level we should all try to be aware of our elderly neighbours especially during this cold spell and make sure they are OK. p.s. Townsend is more or less there too.
