Hot water? Bleeding sassenach. Equal parts with slightly more weight on the whisky!

Whisky Mac.

Happy to share an idiot-proof sausagemeat stuffing recipe (Fanny Craddock). It's cooked separately from the bird and is delicious served up as a cold collation for the next 43 nights.

It's viccy plums in Warwick Gardens. "shouldn't the sloes be left until later in the year - after the first frosts?" You can stick them in the freezer and then use - it has the same effect.

The Thane of Aelfheah had a Waelfheah.

Sod it - I knew I'd dropped my wrap of LSD somewhere.

Should have gone to P.Rye today. 'Nam Ale only ?2.50 a pint. Not bad though a bit hoppy for my taste.

Jawing with Charybdis, probably - between a rock and a hard place.

Wot the blerry* hell are you on about? * to nick a word from Brendan.

There are lots of personal finance blogs and sites which are worth looking at and don't cost anything. Eg; Dave Ramsey; Money Saving Expert; monevator.com. Even the US ones that have alien terms are still useful for general principles.

Maxxi, you are the love child of TedMax and HonaB and I claim my 10/-. I have a new pash.

Silly boy. Just spin round three times and pray to St. Anthony.

Bugger. Must paint over white floorboards.

Try Burgess Park. Or just down the M2, Buckmore Park.

"LOL" Please - we are grown-ups.

Is this the right thread to discuss the Dirty Dubliners?

Ooh, I love it when you're firm and manly.

susyp - chin up, you have absolutely done the right thing. There is no excuse for violence ever, and it doesn't matter if you were the most provocative shrew on earth, it is still not your fault. Nor it is your fault that you became ill. Please repeat this a million times a day: "It is not my fault". Remember also, that verbal abuse is a form of domestic violence. It is perpetrated mostly by professional types (lawyer, vicars, teachers, etc) and is no less damaging than physical abuse. Your sanity is as precious as your good health. As a single parent I can't pretend it's easy, but you just have to get on with it. You don't have to be a perfect parent - no-one can be, just do enough to look after yourself and your daughter. My one piece of advice is that I found the most difficult thing was having to make all the decisions (eg discipline, choice of school, etc) myself. You might find it helpful to build up a network of friends/family/godparents/ over the next few years that you can approach for sounding-board purposes for when these occasions arise. You have taken the most difficult step so be proud of yourself for already being a good parent to your little girl.

Here's some Dulwich Muscle http://img.thesun.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00230/a_230184a.jpg

Think what they could achieve with a decent cricket team.

Maxxi dear, read the original: it was always intended to give back the spoils, and permission was sought in advance.

Regans. Been there for donkeys.

Nor I.

Are you mocking me Mr Ben? bedroom seems to be an anagram of boredom.
