You're joking Sean. With people like you to chair? Noooo ta!

So, in The Drawing Room, who elected The Chair, to be the Chair? Eh? Pahhh

I totally agree re. that American type sign. They make sense except people over here would not know about taking turns to go across! A roundabout may work but you'd need four zebra crossings on the roads leading to it. Ho hum.

It's not my Community COuncil area but I'm with you on that - and we do raise the problems with our Nunhead and Peckham Rye area. And of course they listen, which is why there are more bumps and traffic lights than ever before and STILL the bad drivers drive badly.

Get laid, Sean, lighten up a bit, yeah?

Yeah more traffic lights, every single junction preferably, more bumps in between every junction, more and more things to punish the already sensible driver. Or... we could concentrate on the training of drivers and punishing more sensibly those whose driving skills are found wanting and retrain them. Just a thought.

Well anyway, littlebluefish, thank you very much for your advice and I have taken it. I use Facebook quite a bit.

I'm not going because of a technicality. "Ne1" makes me shudder!

Maybe! I heard the Radio 4 report about how it was so possible to do this. Personally I think it is ridiculous that a diagnosis of something so serious could be made over the phone! I could LIE and get a medical certificate for work. Except, I'm self employed so can't do that one!

You ignorant age-ist bunch of scum!

To answer the title of the thread: I was on telly last night. Nowt to do with swine flu though!

For what it's worth I started a topics with these links on to petitions ages ago and I hope everyone signed them then! Having said that, my own local doctors surgery Nunhead Surgery are absolutely against the idea. Hoorah for them!

Were they protesting against bendy busses?

Both my parents smoked and that did it for me. I think it would have taken more than apple juice, unless I used it to put out their cigarettes, which is hard when you're in a pram and you're 2 months.

Here's my favourite poetry about motorcycling, written by the excellent American self styled professor G Frazier. D'you like my bike? D'you like my bike? Show us yer tits. D'you like my bike?

... placing a genuine topic on this forum, as a nice thing for my Aunt, and a bunch of idiots come out with crap and think I am being mean or stirring it or some such cynical shite.

I know something about this but I am keeping shtum.

Jesus on a bike, I'm just trying to find a nice guy to have a nice drink with my nice Aunt. Some of you really piss me off with yer cynicism.

Well done lenk. Absolutely. And to earlier posts I am childfree, not childless. But I am very childaware.

That's a whole nother subject, and all I know is that without doctors and science and drugs my body would have given up on me many many times over.

D'Oh! So close! In fact, closest yet! I must state it would be good if he were in his 60s or 70s (and thanks for pointing out the dodginess of the title), because she was in London in the war and in Brixton for 7 years after she got married before going to USA in early 70s I think, so some shared history time would be a good starting point of conversation. Haven't told her I am doing this, but I know her well enough to know she'd be delighted if the man were right (and I'm gonna meet any prospective folk myself first! I feel protective of her whilst she is in my home!), she'd have a lovely evening and so would he.

This is from the Wanted section, and someone recommended I move it here, but the Admin may not like it. So before he notices... Anyone?

Yep, thanks annaj and it's what I felt too. No, not suffering any symptoms at all. And not spending all my time thinking about it, but am concerned for when the (live) swine flu jab is offered to me for reasons mentioned above.

Nope, not true. And all streets that have dreadful pot holes and have not been black-topped (asphalted or concreted) you will usually see the words "Private Road" under the sign for the road name. And lots of 4x4s parked down it! FYI and not much related, my Aunt is staying with me and she lives in northern California in the foothills of the Sierras, and there are about 50 properties in her mountain area. It's all unmade road and it takes her about 35 mins to drive to the nearest shop at no more than 15mph, and then an hour to the nearest little town. You do NOT want to find you forgot the milk.

They're bloody heavy, I'll tell you that for free. And if the designers had any sense they'd have chained them together burying the chains in the soil.
