And to try and be as helpful as possible, it's here.

Mick Mac "What do people do with foreign currency". Here's what I did with mine. I went to USA last year for 2 months. I bought several thousand dollars, cash and travellers cheques. Carrying such a large amount of cash simply does not bother me, and it was in about 6 different places about my person and about my bag! I did not use my debit card over there and do not have a credit card. I bought the dollars at a good rate. Came home not having spent them all so stored them for next time. But The rate fell, so I sold them back and ... made a massive profit. Hoorah!

Oh yes, another point. I bought a heap of USDollars and paid with my Abbey debit card once (about 4 years ago) and when my statement came, Abbey had taken ?4.50 off me for it. I told the PO about this and to be fair to them (in Clapham, sorry but that is where I was working at the time!) the PO reimbursed me and now when they remember they warn people in advance. My Nationwide Debit card the next time though resulted in Nationwide not charging me. But then I discovered AmEx had better rates!

I hope someone will be going to this meeting since the subjects being discussed are of regular concern with many of us in here. And Please would you report back? I am so peed off I can't attend! It's at Mary Magdalene school on Consort Road the one way road leading up to Nunhead.

In my opinion, American Express. But not one in Central London as their rates are less because their (business) rates are higher (get what I mean?) There's one in South Ken I tend to go to. All the companies will say they'll match everyone else, but somehow (being someone who goes to USA quite a bit) I have found AmEx always the best. Have a good trip!

I just decided to really try and be more positive in the mornings. I started, by making sure I get up before 9 in the mornings. Haven't mastered that yet, though.

This is not a classic, and the author is still alive teaching literature at Canterbury. But I loved it so much I started reading it again immediately after. The Death of Mr Y by SCARLETT THOMAS I had NO idea what it was about but someone knew me recommended it and I dived right in.

But the rates are crap in post offices. Sorry, but it is true!

Or they could just use the site to employ the children to make their clothes. casamac Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I wondered whether Primark might snap it up, its > current Peckham premises are too small and the > Woolworths site seems bigger.

Why not get all the money for the budget of this reality TV nightmare (what is the running time 6 x 30 mins?, then make a series of 10 minute dramas instead. Now that's what UK REALLY needs and has talent in abundance.

Waitrose? In SE15? Haaaaaaaaa hahahahahhahahahhahaha I Heard BetFred are interested.

I think Southwark's own website may have them, too. But here's a link to start with. I can't find the map either. But there's plenty of info and I am sure there is a map somewhere but sorry not got time to find it right now.

Pat Condell's latest videos. There's a few of him. I want HIM on Radio 4's Atheist Thought for the Day!

Do they have a right to charge? Did not know that. Is that "tappage"?

Well, maybe I'll go to the office in a few weeks time and tell them all to go home that there is no need for the charity to protect against discrimination against those of us who do not believe. Mick Mac, I am not a spokesperson for the BHA but just happen to be a member because I felt it right. I can't define humanism in any way that sounds any different as if I had used the word "Atheist" instead. I suppose Humanism means I believe Humans are all that's here, that we made God up, and so it's humans who need to sort out the mess because God can't. Or something. So maybe a Humanist is an active Atheist? I dunno. Anyway, here's the link to the British Humanist Association. See what you think.

We is an Atheist. Sorry Huguenot, you are right of course. I volunteer with the British Humanists Association but it was not even them who thought of the campaign. They benefited though, and are being sued by Christian Voice!

Noooooo that is being organised by the Atheist Car-Removal-Lorry campaign. If there IS a God, she is locked in the boot with shame.

Big up for your Mum and glad she is safe!! Edited to delete references starting a subject on what we would do in an emergency... That's not for here.

One is not trying to convert people to atheism. One is merely trying to make the point that this society - which has Bishops in the House of Lords, has a law that says we have to all pay towards the BBC when the BBC only allows religious people to have a Thought For The Day, uses taxes from all of us to fund faith schools, discriminates against those (teachers) of other faiths or no faith working in faith schools, etc etc and blah - - is a tad biased towards those who believe in their own version of a God. So we thought we'd remind people we exist too. I think that worked, then!

On the agenda is Parking Charges and Fixed Penalty Notices with a Q&A; this may be interesting given what we read happens on this forum! Also on the Agenda is "Findings from the Audit along Nunhead Lane and Evelina Road". Sadly I shall be working but I hope those of you who care, will be able to attend. Reminds me, haven't read much from AllForNun recently! I am aware this Community Council meeting is for Nunhead and Peckham Rye so the Moderator may want to move this to the Lounge, but many of us border that CC area and are always welcome.

Funny! And so is this. I must find out what iPM is, though. Still, it's a start!

The latest.And we did laugh.

Tony London Suburbs. You wrote: " Who knows? When I saw my Darling Mum lying cold in the Mortuary in 1996.Cold and hard and remembered all the life and vitality and goodness in her,I thought that Heart,Soul,Mind,Spirit surely must have gone somewhere(hopefully to a "better" place) and the contrast was so great to that lifeless shell lying in front of me." in response to my feeling that after we are dead we are just meat. I apologise profusely to you and all others I may have been insensitive to. Humanist celebrants tend towards saying that the person lives on as a memory in those of us they came into contact with.

Oh okay, was glad I did not cause offence.

Just had to say that the British Humanist Association has recently updated its website. Oh and incidentally, I went to a church school, and I have worked in a funeral directors. And having witnessed many different faiths in how they deal with their loved ones after death I was quite shocked! Quite apart from the money spent (I'll have it NOW please) my "belief" is there is no god and after we die just like chickens or ants or any other living thing, we're meat. It's uniquely human to want to believe that this can't be it, but if we made more of "it" together then we'd be happier and more content with what "it" is. Just my idea! Have a happy day then, the good news is that it is now all the way up to three degrees hot!
