Well done for the info Loz! Love this forum for all the help and information we give to one another!

OMG are people enjoying themselves again?

All very well and good Marmora Man, so they should not sell them on here, but rather auction them on ebay.

You are trying to change the behaviour of the Great British Public. The same people who think it acceptable to: procreate and then wonder how to bring up the resulting new human beings; throw their litter out a car or just on to the street; wander across the road talking on their mobile; drive recklessly; smoke, and blow smoke into the face of someone coughing badly whilst asking if they are alright (Saw that today). Add your own examples! Good luck!

I used to listen to Robert Elms regularly and tried SO hard to "tolerate" his 'down with the lads' ways and his accent/class chameleon like qualities. He interviewed me a couple of times and changed his class talk accordingly. In the end I just had to stop listening. Then Chris Morris on The Day Today (or was it Brass Eye) did that fabulous interview with Darcus Howe. I just found the script. CM: ?I?m sitting opposite a man, he knows nothing, he talks all the time, the result is he?s a trenchant buffoon, he had no idea how to present television shows, he looks ridiculous in that fashion wear. He swans around all the time hoping that people will recognise him, when infact nobody?s even remotely interested. He?s taken up enough time on this show already and he hasn?t even opened his mouth. God knows why he?s here, I?ve nothing to ask the guy. And for all I know he may be a coco shunter too. Darcus Howe. DH: ?What?s a coco shunter?? CM: ?Coco Shunter? That?s just what I?ve got, er, oh, sorry, that?s the introduction to Robert Elms. Sorry. Do you know Robert Elms? I?ve just read out the introduction to Robert Elms." So I shall play my Mott The Hoople without his prompting. Greasy little bugger he is. And he doesn't like XTC. Pahhh.

Who is Shakesphere?

With the price of blueberries, Blueberries is a luxury item!

Dammit what was question number 5.

Ohhh then there's no problem is there! Cut carbs in the afternoon to fix the poo situation and continue as before. :)

Brilliant post. Brilliant. Best post of the week award imho

Oh, and if you don't mind we are childfree; childless implying we are less than human or something, or less of a human for not wanting kids. Ta very much. Babies and kids are not boring. They're the future. They're funny and noisy and tiring and demanding and screaming and enquiring and fascinating and irritating and rude and vindictive and generous and sweet and kind. In short, they are like adults who haven't quite worked it all out yet. But not boring. They may be bored, but that's because they have parents who don't know how to inspire or teach or indulge them. But never ever boring.

The question was asked, the Fastest route. We answered. Motorcycle! Now, if you want more comfort and have more than one suitcase, that's quite another question! ;)

Answer to number four: the market forces mean they're wanted. When people stop going, they'll close up. Answer to number one: probably they're taking too much time clearing up after the little ones. Answer to number two: don't care. Complain to management. No point asking us! Answer to number three: We don't need more chains here. Cheners is fab.

I thought she left it too late herself? Thought that was a sort of acknowledged recorded fact. Anyway, moooooving on.

I agree with reetpetite. I only drink good real coffee and am a coffee snob. Have our own machine at home. I do drink two or 3 mugs a day. You could try substituting one or 2 for decaff (tho I absolutely do not see the point!). However, as far as regular poo situation is concerned, try not eating carbs after about 2pm. Seriously, worked for me. I'd be anxious if I did not have coffee but then again maybe I do not get the kick others do. It never keeps me awake at night. I could give it up any time I wanted, yeah yeah yeah I could. Just don't want to!

A public house is charging people to come in?

Yep I would, and here is Andrew Copson's reply (he of the British Humanist Association).

Yeah! What SMcG said! There are living people who need help. Go find some. Help them. Feel good.

Motorcycle. And yes, I took hubbie to Heathrow on back of my bike. Tied suitcase to the rack at the back. All safe and sound. Took his spare helmet home and put his bike jacket in pannier too. Now, when do you need to be there? ;)

If all you really want to do is lie by the pool and do sod all, not explore not mix and mingle, but just sunbathe and veg out, why not go on a cheap package tour to Spaaaaayyyyyynn or Florida or something. Or Broadstairs or Margate. In a hot week you can also swim in the sea (best beaches in Britain regular winners and holders of blue flag clean beach awards) with beautiful sandy beaches and there are some great pubs, and fabulous walks if you want to do a bit of exercise.

Tom Hollander in a pub in Snowsfields yesterday. God he's gorgeous.

Lyrics to XTC's "Then She Appeared" Could have "Jade Goody Smeared" added to them to replace All Edward Lear'd (which itself was brilliant; Andy Partridge such a genius!) Here's a video someone else made to go with the song, as XTC did not themselves make a video of it. "Then she appeared, apple venus on a half open shell Then she appeared, the first photograph on Fox Talbots gel I was a little frightened Flying with my senses heightened Cherubim cheered Then she appeared Then she appeared, as the giggling crew of Marie Celeste Then she appeared, pale Atlantis rising out of the west I was a little dazzled Catherine wheeled and senses frazzled Know it sounds weird Then she appeared And the sun which formerly shone In the clearest summer sky Suddenly just changed address Now shines from her blue eyes Then she appeared, brittle shooting star that dropped in my lap Then she appeared, dressed in tricolour and phrygian cap I was a little troubled Hookah with my senses bubbled Jade Goody Smeared - All Edward leared Then she appeared And the moon which formerly shone On the marbled midnight mile Suddenly just packed its bags Now shines from her bright smile Then she appeared Out of nowhere"

Because there's a recession on? There's a lack of Demerara sugar on the shelves in Sainsburys Asda AND Tescos, too. So hope it's not too late to ask why.

They're so pretty. I bet California's panicking. Doesn't take much to panic them Americans but specially on the west coast where - without legal and illegal Mexicans - the already dying California economy would be on its knees. Now what they gunno do!
