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!

Oh dear TT I am sorry to hear that. And I had to have mine done 3 times because first (the doctor told me in confidence) they gave an excuse that implied they might have just dropped it and needed another one. The next time there was not enough to make a decision, and the 3rd time I was clear anyway. Hang on in there! JG still dead is she? Not risen yet?

I'm enjoying this.

Do you mean they tried to fine you for having a car in the baby car parking area, simply because it did not have a baby seat in the car? Should they not have waited for you to come back to the car sans baby before fining you. God I hate these car parking fascists.

Awwwwwwww! That's so sweet! Had you not found it I swear we'd have had a whip round to buy a replacement!

I agree, he also wrote a fab article in the BBC on line magazine. He takes his time but he's considered and sensible, and I've always liked Clive James. The ugly bastard.

On Saturday on Peckham Rye Park was the Southwark in Bloom thingy, which including info about that subject but also there was a bee keeper. He's running some bee keeping courses! They're free! I'm gonna get me on one then we can learn and grow and be more aware. God I love living in London for all the useful things you can learn about all sorts of different subjects. I even saw someone I had never met before but sort of worked out they were an EDFer. And I was right. LegalEaglish, it was absolutely lovely to meet you!

It'll go for ?1.75m and not till about next March. Well, that's my prediction!

Oooooooooohhhhhhhhhh sorry!!!!!!!!!

It was not about people believing that they're not subject to the same set of rules as the rest of us live by. It was about some people who care very much, trying to make politicians realise that they are not happy with the ridiculous rules being put in place in all our names, and that sometimes, just sometimes we want to let them know that little fact.

Ohh I dunno. Least it wasn't the Sun. Rita Rudner: I like a man with earrings, it means he's experienced pain and bought jewellery. I think I've cited that joke on here before. Still worth telling tho. Yeah, sex is the luxury!

Ah louisiana - I agree chocolate is an essential, but 70% + cocoa solid is a luxury. Condoms are an essential in some couple's situations so not a luxury in anyone's. Champagne and steak and chips is a luxury to me!

70% minimum cocoa solid chocolate. Best quality organic bread flour for the bread machine. Ethiopian or Javan coffee for the coffee machine. Wait wait wait I just re read your post. Are you saying Condoms are a luxury item? In some cases they're a necessity aren't they?

Course it's profitable! They keep overcharging and most people don't bother checking their receipts!

Oooh I have been helpful today! I forgot to add though, that they can be slow in replying. This is because they're all working volunteers. But they've been good to me, they 'ave.

It could still be chronological. Just backwards so. I agree that having the last post at the top makes sense.

And then what would we do with the information? What purpose would be served and how would anything change? Probably we'd just raise our eyebrows, go, "Oh that's interesting", and continue as we are/ aspire to be!

It's a marketing thing, not to have clocks in malls and big stores, so people lose time and keep buying. Daft really.
