I'm 60 in July, and what the f*** does "acting your age" mean? I'm 59 so consequently I'm acting my age! Whatever age you are, you're obviously acting it - by definition. Do you mean, act how somebody else thinks you should act? So one minute you're 29 (or 39 or whatever) and you act one way, then you wake up the next morning and you're expected to act another way? What a load of b*l*o**s :))

I'm really pissed off it's coming to BBC2, I bought a DVD of the first bits and I haven't watched it yet, could have saved my money :))

I say I think you are all being a bit harsh :) I liked With or Without You :))

Forget the hostas unless you don't mind putting down loads of slug pellets :)

Oh no there are newts in that stream I think, hope they will be OK :-S

I find the people in there very friendly, staff and punters, I just wouldn't go there again to eat. Daizie, I think referring to people as "chavs" is unpleasant and says more about you than about them, just my opinion.

Be warned, peeps.

PLEASE CLEAR THIS ONE UP... xxx Well I hardly think the 185 has joined the ranks of "talking about buses", that would be a bit bizarre, wouldn't it? Hey, mate, that 176 is a bit out of order, innit, and what about that 40, I dunno ... :))

Don't make the mistake I did of telling your insurance company as soon as you get a few hairline cracks, ending up with a load of work which was probably unnecessary (but hey, made a load of dosh for a load of people and enabled said insurance company to bump up my premiums considerably), and rendering yourself uninsurable by many companies because as soon as you say "yes" to the subsidence question they don't want to know. Sorry for ungrammatical tangle, no I haven't been on the ale, perish the thought :)) Edited to say: Bob, sorry, *Bob*, I think you can have subsidence without being underpinned. Mine hasn't been underpinned but all the correspondence from the insurance guys refers to subsidence.

And when it's dark and wet or foggy, as it was recently, it also means I dont miss the stop I get off at every day because I can't see where I am. Or if I'm immersed in my book, the talking bus tells me I've reached my stop. And if I couldn't see, I guess I'd love talking buses even more. Hoorah for talking buses, that's what I say :)) :)-D

We seem to get different information each time, but I'm glad something is happening at last :)

Red Sails in the Sunset - Bing Crosby :-$

I have skimmed through the previous thread on this subject, and I can't see a contact number or link to Mr Rose who seems to be the one who was dealing with it - does anybody have this info? I am happy to chase to find out what is happening, but I don't have time at the moment to seek out the contact details.

Or guinea pigs :) Edited to say: Sorry, been reading too much Charlie and Lola with a two-year-old :))

But that fence has been taken down!
