The Actress usually has the very tasty Adnams Broadside. What more could you ask? ETA: And the EDT usually has Adnams Lighthouse at ?2.80 a pint which must be the cheapest pint in East Dulwich. Not half as nice as Broadside though ......

If Japanese Knotweed could be killed so easily with weedkiller,there'd be no problem ......

Good luck for tomorrow, Spark67 :))

It's the new Clowns .....

And are they as scrumy? xxxxxxxx Oh brilliant, have Hope and Greenwood got their salted caramel back in? I don't think Oddono's version is so good, but my memory of Hope and Greenwood's may be wrong. This is such a great excuse to have two cones on one day, so that I can make a direct comparison :))

Saw the ones outside the Blue Mountain Cafe last night. I think they're great :)

Maybe phone the council and ask them to put you through to the relevant department? Their phone reception people would surely know?

According to this, trials are ongoing at the moment. One article about the basis for the claimed health benefits is here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/9480451/The-52-diet-can-it-help-you-lose-weight-and-live-longer.html

I know absolutely nothing about the legal situation, but do you for example have emails from him (or anything else in writing or that is demonstrably written or sent by him) stating what he intended to do re changing his will? So sorry you are having to deal with this on top of grieving for him.

If recently, they must have changed their supplier, as last year it was absolutely excellent. I went in last week for their salted caramel icecream, and they didn't have any, which was very disappointing. I tried Oddono's, which was nice but didn't make me drool as much as Hope and Greenwood's had, so I wanted to see if my memory of Hope and Greenwood's was accurate!

Along with many people I first heard about the 5:2 eating schedule from a Horizon programme. The programme focused on the health advantages rather than weight loss. I can't remember the details now but there were medical indicators which showed significant improvement after following the diet. I expect you can google it. I can't be bothered. Obviously that wasn't a controlled study using a lot of people, but it still suggests a benefit. Comparing it to homoeopathy is just absurd. If you think it's a load of bull then don't go on it, but why diss the people who are finding it helpful?

Really good news! Come on you pink and blues! :))

Sandals and black socks with denim shorts? That's what's really bringing the area down! Crap clothes!

OOOOPS I grovel, my html was rubbish :))

It was dead and beginning to decompose :( OH has removed it. Poor frog. Now need to try to increase the oxygen level in the water I think.

Can you PM me what I did, so I don't do it again, as I still don't know what it was? Ta.

So far as I recall I didn't copy and paste anything, and even if I had the html would have been the same as if I'd typed it in separately, surely? I can't show you what I used because it doesn't come out properly on its own, but it had this effect: words here What I used was only what is showing up on your post, not the symbols that are showing up in your post when I edit. And I checked it in the preview before I posted it, and it all looked fine :( Can't look now obviously, because it's all gone. Sorry to have put someone to so much trouble, but I've used every symbol I used before on here with no problem :(

Well due to reflections on the water I couldn't even see it when I came to do it! Had a feel around but couldn't find it, but if it was dead I might have moved it anyway without realising :( Will try to persuade my OH to do it tomorrow. I wore rubber gloves (not the powdered sort) but still feel a bit squeamish. Happy to hold live frogs, not possibly dead ones.

My insurance is just up for renewal. I had been under the impression that I had had subsidence in the past but my current insurer has looked into my previous claims and has just told me that the two claims were treated as "ground movement" which is not as serious as subsidence. She says there are four categories of movement: Subsidence/heave/landslip/ground movement. What I have always thought was subsidence was in one case due to differential movement between my front bay and the rest of the house and in the other due to a problem with drains, which was completly sorted at the time. I want to get other quotes but I'm now very confused. Obviously I have to declare the claims, but are they or are they not for subsidence? My current insurer says some underwriters will treat them as subsidence and some won't ?????? Can anybody shed any light?

Yet they had a great dark lager which was really yummy, which they no longer have because apparently I was the only person who drunk it (and only once a week, so it must have taken a long time to finish their stock!)
