  1. I don't use a battery powered shaver. Just a shaver. Right, other things that make me feel old, realising I like listening to Tony Bennett and Matt Monroe!
  2. I see an endocrinologist at Kings College Hospital. He's a miserable so and so and when I got my cholestorol down from a massive 6.9 to 5.6 in 3 months with diet alone, he grumpily told me it was still too high. He (and, to be fair) my own GPs say that it should be below 5. But that 5 is better than 5.6. I am still continuing to get it lower. I do not want and will not go on statins. I can't afford all the prescriptions I take for when I am ill. Grumpy Endocrinologist indeed gave a heap of statistics about the American pharmaceutical company and how much they make each year from their statin drugs alone. Be that as it may (a phrase I never thought I would use), I would be happy to hear what you have to say, but will not pay for it. Sorry. Maybe I'll get your book out the library though.
  3. Well others have done it. Pahhhh. Bet ya didn't tell THEM off! So where are we then?
  4. Oh PLEASE don't imagine it will speed things up! On the contrary! But yes, the health issues are to be questioned.
  5. My Melancholy Blues - Queen
  6. So all this free stuff as you get older or are disabled, you're treated like kids in a classroom and told or expected to remember things and if you miss a date it's "tough sh!t"? How civilised a society!
  7. Blimey! "i?m just worried to get requests for dates" When I was in my teens and 20s I would have LOVED to have got requests for dates. Never had that confidence and never got them. One can always turn them away/down if one gets such requests. But to get them when they're really wanted, never happened! MrPR came along just as I was heading for the atheist nunnery(!)
  8. There will be a scientific explanation and/or genetic code discovered for God. And it won't make any difference.
  9. Ah thanks for that SteveT. That's where my diaries would be of SOME use then! No way will I put any diary entries in here. I finished writing 31 Dec then put the book in the cupboard with all the otherds and then start the new one. Even I never read them. You think I'm gonna let YOU read them? I broke your rules on how they should be written and you don't even write one. Ha! And even writing "Got up had breakfast had weetabix got the hump" etc is an entry! Indeed the discipline now needed (not so when little) to write every day is useful but when I was a teenager it helped me try to understand what I was going rhrough. I never did though. But I wrote everything down. Ooooh yes. All those boys are in there... All those who spurned me, all those boyfriends of later years who treated me bad. All in there. Names and everything. But then everything bad and stupid I did is in there too. Potash it is then SteveT!
  10. Would be great if - when reinstated - the lights have a right turn filter light to go up Peckham Rye!
  11. "The point of writing a diary is to record things as they happen" Oh christ I did not realise there were rules! I broke those day one. I record my thoughts and feelings and some days if little happens the page is filled with thoughts. When something big happens I often just write a sentence to say what happened as my memory will suffice. "to try to use a page just because it is there, is not interesting unless something did happen that was worth recording." According to who?! "I have never kept one, many that I have seen record only the details of that persons health," So what? "When a Diary is started there must be thought as to who would want to read it, if you have a certain person in mind then perhaps you might write it as that person would be interested in the content." I was a small child when I started so there was no thought as to who would read it. (where do you get all this stuff from computedshorty?!) I have NEVER written a single day's entry with thoughts that someone might read it. Every day is written honestly and openly to how I feel. I have no descendents either, and I am sure if I did they'd be the last folk I'd want to read them!
  12. No, because the ashes would be carbon which is no use to flowers. I think. In my Will they're going to a friend of mine who promises never to split them up. I like the idea of them going into a secure fire proof time capsule. After I'd dead natch!
  13. They'll be able to outline scars. So people who have had plastic surgery will be worried.
  14. Check the Westminster Council Website. Remember, Camden's will have different rules, and Camden covers the north east section of Oxford Street.
  15. Me. Today started my 41st. Started writing a diary every day when I was little. Reason: I was very sick as a kid and wanted to leave a record of my life in case I did not survive. Dramatic, emotional, but true. So thanks VERY much NHS but what the flip do I do with forty A5 size page a day diaries?!
  16. Just a little shaver. Now let it GO! Honest, you lot are such cowards. None of you are as open or honest about things than I am and then y'all take the piss. Things that make me feel old are the fact that I wasted a good deal of time being shy. And now I am not (quite clearly). So I must be old!

I shouted "happy new year" and "happy new year East Dulwich Forum" while at Dawsons Heights Hill, and a few people responded to the former. Saddest sight was me realising there was more walk to get home and not enough mulled wine in the flask to last the walk!
  18. I've no intention of crashing.
  19. Dry and not electric. Oi! Move on!
  20. hahahhaahaha adid I make someone blush?
  21. elastic
  22. Yep. And they'll be on record for ever. I'm gonna be dead in 30ish years. I have to put this in perspective.
  23. I'll be on here, probably. And out there. And trying to earn a bit more money as last year was a washout financially.
