Why do people sit in their bloody cars/vans for what seems like hours with their bloody radios blaring out full blast, and why is it always within earshot of the room I work in? I'm at the point of going downstairs with a brick. A very very large brick. ETA: Every cloud. I went down (without a brick) and it turned out to be someone in the same road I've never met even though he's lived here nearly as long as I have :) And he was very apologetic, so all good :)

I rest my case.

Hmmm, yes. First post. ETA: Joined the forum today. Under this name, anyway .....

Crikey, what pub is that?!?!?!

FFS. If children aren't taken to museums, galleries etc from an early age, how do you think those places will carry on when the children grow up? Or if they are taken, but find them totally boring because there is nothing for them to do? My grandchildren love the Horniman. If you want to go somewhere where no kids are allowed, maybe go somewhere else? Or if you don't like the behaviour you see, take it up with the parents? I have intervened in a screaming match between two kids in the cafe where the younger one was in danger of being pushed out of his high chair and the adult/s with them were nowhere to be seen. If you do nothing (eg report the butterfly grabbing to staff) how do you think the behaviour of some parents will change?

Yes it is the proprietor but on the other hand he charges the same as the others. Yes I do go back because he is brilliant. On the other hand although the prices are reasonable for the area, it's a lot to pay when you are on a pension. Also on the other hand, he cuts my fringe free between my main cuts. I have tried to pay in the past, but he wouldn't let me. I stopped tipping when the prices went up a year or so back but now I feel I'm being mean, though he knows I'm not rolling in money (can probably tell by my threadbare clothes, anyway :)) )

:)) :)) :))

That's the sort of stuff I find in the lining of my coat, not in my purse :))

Except that it is only a few of the messages which go into spam. Most of them are delivered as normal.

Every time I get my hair cut I get all embarrassed because I'm never sure whether to tip or not. And when I do, I get all embarrassed about actually giving the tip, unless I can leave it at the desk. And then I get embarrassed because I'm not sure whether I should also be tipping the person who washed my hair (where different). I did ask my hairdresser about it once, and then we both got all embarrassed. Just wondering what everybody else does. I stopped doing it, but now I'm embarrassed about that :))

Shoulders??

I eat my words about Kebab and "Vine". Had a fantastic lamb shish there on Saturday night. Loads of tasty tender meat, especially considering it was a "small" one, and good fresh salad. My only gripe was the weird chilli sauce, which was sort of lumpy.
