I sometimes eat kebabs, but I never eat doner kebabs. There are different kinds of kebab, Fox :)

And that's why the cruelty continues, because people don't want to know and so there is no financial or other incentive for the cruelty to stop. One small indication of human nature, and the terrible (in many respects) world we have made for ourselves :(

How did you get that video to embed, red devil?

Confirms my opinion of the Guptas. Sorry to be dim, but what in the posts above suggests that any staffing problems have been magically sorted? Have I missed something?

No, me too. Seems like she's in the wrong job.

I care as well, though probably I could do more. I eat very little meat, but I won't eat chicken unless I know it is free range, and I won't knowingly eat battery farmed eggs. I didn't know about prawns, why do they do that Fox? Apart from anything else, prawns are quite small, it must take ages?

Really nice to have some positive posts about DMC :) Hope you both get better soon, Jessie and giggirl.

Any suggestions would be so appreciated. Hi We would love to see your Mum at the Goose! You/she can find out what's on here: http://www.thegooseisout.com Tell her to make herself known to us when she arrives (I'm usually on the ticket table), and we'll find her some friendly people to sit with. There will be people of all ages, and usually plenty in her age group. On popular nights she would need to get there early to be sure of a seat (or a ticket in some cases). Do PM me if you'd like to know more :) ETA: Our most informal nights are our monthly Singarounds, which are free entry (voluntary donation at the interval). Listeners are welcome too - she doesn't have to sing if she doesn't want to, but we usually find that most people at least join in the choruses where songs have one (or sometimes the whole song if it's well known!) Those are perhaps where she would find it easiest to get to know people - it's a very friendly and supportive environment - though we can certainly introduce her to people at our ticketed nights as well.

I also had to remove shrubs from my front garden years ago, which was a shame because they were lovely :( There was differential movement between the bay and the rest of the house, which if memory serves the insurance company said the shrubs had contributed to, and I was also told I couldn't plant anything else. I too now have to have just plants in pots.

Has anyone else had a similar > experience with an insurance company? Sorry to be dim, but if a mature tree has been causing cracks, is it a good idea to replace it with another one? And surely that would invalidate your future insurance?

Eh?

Yes I agree, I hadn't been in there for ages but I went in recently and was really impressed by the good selection of stuff they had.

It may have gone up now though.

There was discussion about this scheme on the forum about a year ago. I think it's a great idea. I will deffo get and ride a bike if I have somewhere to keep it which doesn't involve climbing over it every time I open my front door :)

There are two actually - Thai Corner Cafe in North Cross Road, and the one in Lordship Lane - can't remember its name, which I think changed. Both mediocre in my opinion. There is also The Begging Bowl in Bellenden Road, which is much better and a mere hop skip and jump away from ED :)

I guess that's why they are opening a new one :)) But, a bit like pizza restaurants not being intended for people who don't like pizza, cinemas are not intended for people who don't go to see films :))
