Great lyrics - "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die...."

I can turn and walk away or I can fire the gun. Staring at the sky. Staring at the sun. Whichever I choose it amounts to the same. Absolutely nothing. I?m alive. I?m dead. -

Sounds very sensible and I admire that you had the guts to leave and run your own business. However, I hope I'm not an insufferable employee as I do actually respect my boss (who is super-intelligent and brilliant at what they do, except of course for the occasional time they comment* on my work ha ha) > I am now an insufferable boss about to retire, and > I no longer have to put up with uppity employees > who think they know the job better than I, but are > too gutless to start their own thing. > Katie I sympathise with your predicament and > understand how demeaning it is to be subserviant > to a boss who appears an oafish buffoon but if you > are soooo clever, do your own thing and start your > own business.

I'm afraid that I too will be taking this news with a very large dose of (Himalayan pink) salt... I mean....I nearly choked on my white peach bellini when I read the title of the thread...;-) *regains composure*

Ladymuck, what a brave post and I hope you do manage to see your friend. I echo what the others have said above. Have also PM'd you of my experience of having been in a sort of similar position. Take care, xxx

bus journey to central london from LL

I have tried using both the 176 and the 12. The 176 takes around 50 mins to get to the Strand from LL (stop across from the Palmerston) although there seems to be fewer of these than the 12. If its before 7:45 its ok but can get really busy afterwards and full buses fly by without stopping. The 12 takes around 45 minutes to Trafalgar Square from Barry Road (Uplands end). I think if you catch it before it turns off Barry Road you can usually find a seat. On the way home - I tend to find the 176 marginally less stressful than the 12, although there seems to be a longer wait. -
East Dulwich has everything you can get in Wholefoods although its in several different shops. Great.

..are we talking about proliferation or non-proliferation here? Just thought I'd ask.

Probably. PS. One of those handy "WOOF Multiple Choice Survey" thingys would have come in useful here...for those of us that don't know the answers.
