Get real people. Diamond White followed by an evening at The Swan.

Sorry Jah but, in the spirit of Terry Hurlock: Go Fulham!

This may be too much info, but here goes. I really wanted a homebirth and I had a fabulous French midwife who was very supportive, but pointed out that I lived in a pokey, top floor flat with very narrow staircase. She thought, on balance, that if anything went wrong, it would be very difficult to get me down (certainly not on a stretcher), so I had my baby at King's. As it happened, it was a very good birth. Some years later, I lost my flat and ended up in a hostel. Ghastly times, but the point is, that had I had my daughter at home, I would have been pretty suicidal everytime I went past my previous home. As it is, every time I pass King's I am filled with gratitude.

I read that. Couldn't help thinking what a wonderful chap. [that's such a lie - I hate tatoos.]

Sorry - Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.

Wearing a black shirt and saluting not a warm, fluffy image Bon3yard. Must try harder.

Help for entrepreneurs seems an oxymoron.

Ellie, you might get a better response in the Lounge - they can treat serious subjects with respect in there (most of the time). Some of the reasons a person self-harms is to relieve an intense pressure - whether that's low self-esteem, or perfectionism or a whole raft of causes. Treatment could be successful through CBT.

Grodon is a mroon

What a charming idea, Alice.

Welcome to my world!

Quids, have you read Zola's La Debacle?

The main drag is East Dulwich Road too.

Stop quibbling Brendan. You do realise that under my criterion, you are poised to become Harriet Harman?

I'm rather partial to ptarmigan.

I'd vote for M.Man - how could you not vote for one of the few who understands Duckworth Lewis?

Good little match tonight, what? 2-0. Only trouble is, I've lost count of how many play-offs we've failed at.

I could do a summer evening - sounds deliciously decadent.

My little one had something similar a few times, usually after a bout of tonsilitis. It was a strep. rash or scarlet fever which is not alarming as it sounds. Antibiotics quickly clear it up (it's not Beth in Little Women anymore!)

Of course I did - allow me a little poetic frustration.

Bummer - there was a good meet at Detling yesterday. I'll have a look for some others not too far away.

Potential game on. England 107 for 3 chasing 419.

Unfortunately, one of the posters on here is called what my friend used for her girls: minkey. Everytime I see a post from him/her, I can't help but snigger. We used 'noonie' for when my daughter was very little, but now she's a teenager, it's all very clinical.

Thanks for the tip Quids - owe you a drink. Cheers to the noble D_C who brought benisons and filthy lucre to soothe my brow.

Well my giddy aunt! I've just woken from a nap - my head is truly in a vice. Missed all the bally hoohah. David, I think I love you.
