Shouldn't this thread be in the lounge?

At present if you put 148 Chinese into Google, nothing relevant comes up. I'll give the food a try (again) in the hope that things might have improved since we last ate there ....

Maybe they are being sent different ways to avoid individual roads being clogged up with buses?

If you are going to keep having a go at me (and I really don't know why, as this is none of your business) please at least get your facts right. I wasn't having any problems with Heals customer service. I hadn't even contacted Heals customer service at that point, and now because of this - "misguided" is putting it politely - person's interference and frankly bizarre behaviour, I can't, because I have no idea what was said to Heals "on my behalf". I was promised that the "proper" admin, who said he was on holiday at the time, would find out, and get back to me - if memory serves, the following day "at the latest." That was the last I heard of it, and when I PMed to find out why, he did not even have the common courtesy to open and read the PM. So yes, I'm assuming the "proper" admin hoped I would drop it at that stage - i.e. the stage when I could have done something about the fifty pounds I had wasted. This was in relation to a very specific product, so the fact that my name wasn't mentioned by the "misguided" "temporary admin" is irrelevant, as customer services would know who it was as soon as I contacted them about the same product. An apology was the very least I expected. What I wanted was to find out exactly what had been said "on my behalf", which I still don't know.

As admin says above in relation to the address issue, there were other messages exchanged behind the scenes. So maybe you should not suggest I drop it when you haven't seen the correspondence and don't know the full story? ETA: And btw the apology was not from the person who had written to Heals. It was from someone who promised to investigate and get back to me, and didn't. So I still don't know what the expletive deleted was said on my behalf.

Is this the same administrator who took it upon themselves to write to Heals on my behalf? Concerning which I have never had an explanation, despite being promised one. ETA: And my PMs about the incident remaining unread months and months later.

That is totally uncalled for and wrong on so many levels. Her business has nothing to do with spray tans. She sells natural and ethical skincare products.

According to the Met Office app I use, which seems to think I'm in Sylvester Road, it's snowing now :)) Not in my road it isn't :)) With sleet later on. Then snow.

I've just received my February issue.

A woman running a business from home doesn't want to give her address out on the forum, for very obvious reasons. So therefore admin decides to delete all her posts and the posts of people replying to them, thereby greatly affecting her business. Pretty disgraceful, I'd say. ETA: But hopefully you were being sarcastic about the "top form".

Pretty sure I did.

I just emailed the highways department about something unrelated to CPZ, and was amused to see this in the middle of their automatic reply: "If your email is a request for a controlled parking zone please note that due to the volume of requests we receive, we are unable to respond to each individual email." Volume of requests????!!!!

You introduced it as some kind of judgement. Having relatives with mental health problems doesn't make you an expert it seems. ased on very little information?!" Somebody has a haircut they aren't happy with, harasses the person who cut their hair and then attacks them with a hammer? I wouldn't say that was "very little information". ETA: And "some kind of judgement"? How do you interpret what I said as a "judgement"? ETA: And why do you suggest I think I'm an "expert"? I gave some background to indicate (I thought) that I am sympathetic to and have experience of people who are mentally ill. I really cannot understand why you are reacting to my post in this way. From the information given on this thread, do you think the person who attacked the barber is completely well?

I am not sure why you call this "casual labelling". Could you explain? I don't think my post was in any way stigmatising people with mental health issues. Several of my close relatives have been hospitalised for mental illness, including one who was sectioned several times. I think there needs to be wider discussion and awareness, not getting uptight every time mental illness is mentioned.

rendelharris, you have misunderstood my questions, which having read your answers is entirely my fault for not being sufficiently clear. I don't have time to answer your post now as I have a gig to run tonight and I have to leave soon to set up. But don't worry, I'll come back to them :)) :)) :)) Though possibly not till after the weekend :)) :)) :))

I did physics, chemistry and pure maths at uni for a year. Didn't enjoy it as much as I'd hoped, and changed to psychology, which is what my degree is. Then did post-grad research in psychology. Know quite a bit about research methodology. I do hope that is OK for you, but if not do feel free to ask for further details (that last bit was sarcastic, by the way).

Thanks edc

However, in this particular case, I suspect he can't answer at least one of them :)) Let's give him the benefit of the doubt though, eh? :))

RPC, I agree. I have never found the usual sort of homeopathy works for me, but rescue remedy does. I have had acupuncture in the past, and found for some things it worked but only in the short term, and for other things not at all. But interestingly, I was sometimes able to tell whether the acupuncturist had the needles in the right place, and ask him to move them if not, purely by the sensation. Somebody I knew who was a reflexologist and a healer worked (as a reflexologist and healer) in an NHS hospital with cancer patients. Mindfulness courses are being "prescribed" these days on the NHS for people with long-term physical illnesses. All sorts of herbs which have been used by herbalists for years are now being studied and incorporated into mainstream medicine/drugs. I think it's great that the medical profession is becoming so much more open to using and recommending complementary approaches to illness.

Did you call the police with the details of the car? Sorry to keep banging on about calling the police, but posting on here isn't going to reduce crime. Telling the police about the incident might, so hopefully you did :)

It's a > horrible thing to have happened to Jamie whatever > was going on with the perpetrator. Yes, of course it was a horrible thing to have happened. What in my post made you think I have anything but sympathy for the victim? ETA: A post above says the hammer attack "was the culmination of a period of harrassment by the perpetrator whose hair Jamie had cut but wasn't happy with it". My point was that that was not normal behaviour and therefore there may have been a reason for the attack other than pure malice and aggression. I'm sorry if I didn't express it very well, but I don't think it is irrelevant to the thread.

So looking at their website, there appear to be two women doctors at DMC currently. I'm assuming you mean the one who isn't highly praised above?
