VBC, netball? Along with the Sunday footie with DJKQ you must be getting very fit innit! Totally impressed.

Been thinking about getting one of them Dyson Airblade thingies. ?100 a tad expensive though. But they look good and you can train small animals to jump through its hoop. Couldn't you attach the ipod to a piece of wire /string and tie it to each side, or top and bottom, of the airblade, and just dry it out to death? Soooo Songs for wet iPods. Anything by Wet Wet Wet obviously.

Having worked for a not short enough short time in construction industry, a contractor was usually late and unreliable. I am a sole trader / independent contractor (as USA puts it) and otherwise self employed. LostThePlot started a group for us self employed lot, but either the dates for meets were a nightmare for everyone to be able to go to, or he himself was so busy he couldn't run them! Maybe we should ask the Forum person for yet another section JUST for self employed people.

Nah it was me. The one day a year I don't ride the motorcycle.

Watch Sky here or here or here. If the link is broken basically Sky have a pub finder on their website so you know where you can watch footie in this area. Hope this helps.

Narnia that in turn hit the nail oin the head for me, since - for me - breathing in and out has not always been something I could easily do! Recently though I have been better, and now my Mum is nearing the end of her life, I am determined to enjoy mine more if I can. Money DOES play a role, there is no question. Don't need much but do need enough not to worry about the bills and food and so on. The whole question about animal behaviour is fascinating. Yes, there is evidence animals grieve. But equally I remember some scientist saying that just because an animal makes a noise and action which we interpret as it being in pain/distress, does not necessarily mean it is. I need to get a life!

Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Amen to that DJKQ! I watched the doc on the seals at Monterey last night, and cried when 'pinkblue' did his number on the mother. And cried when the man then heard baby bashing the crabs on the side of his boat. We humans are soooooooo daft! Then I did a bit of living life and did the washing up....

And just to bring this all back to earth and on topic, if you DO see or suspect anyone of being cruel to animals, call 0300 1234 999 which is the RSPCA Emergency number. It is on my mobile. Put it on yours?

Lambeth Parking lot are awful. When I worked at a funeral directors in Lambeth they would even ticket the limousines and hearse. I think they are the scum of the earth. I wish you well but would recommend you look on the forums for such things and see what the laws are. Google consumer direct type of thing.

Agh I read the title and thought Syria was Jordan's new boyfriend and so what if they are touring! Then I read the entire post and thought how fabulous that trip would be and wish you well. What a helpful lot the others are, specially lovely Marmora Man!

No. NEXT!

But whatever you think or do, REPORT IT! Report it to the safer neighbourhood team for the relevent area (look it up), take responsibility, be proactive, and do NOT ever let fear rule how you choose to live your life.

I think it helps to be really really conscious that you are actually living your life now, which sounds a truly daft thing to say, but I mean by that - that you should remember every day that this is (to coin the phrase) not a rehearsal. So whether it is taking pleasure in walking in Peckham Rye Park, or being fortunate enough to be able to have gone on two-month long road trips - I seriously try to be aware of taking pleasure in both equally, as it were, because I am alive and here and the now is all that matters. This means that I am trying to be conscious of living life all the time, and I try not to believe that living life is all about the holidays and the relaxation. I probably have a skewed attitude towards life and living of it since I suffered a lot of life threatening illness in my childhood and earlier years, and now I work as a Humanist Celebrant so interview families who are facing bereavement, which is a constant reminder to me to live life as well as I can. "Existing" is doing the washing up or shopping or so on, and that is truly dull, but a car might turn that corner and kill or, or a shopping trolley(!) or a heart attack or something. Without wishing to sound boring and dull, I do take pleasure in meeting new people whilst trying to do something useful in society, whether it be at Hospital Foundation trust meetings or even just meeting some of you down the pub to lend books etc., and it saddens me so when I hear on the news that someone died without the neighbours knowing. Very often that person refused to engage with their neighbours. Some people might just feel better about life if they engaged with others and took more responsibility for things. Sh!t, that turned into something I had not planned. Now for a drink!

Why just girls? And could you not put all your tips in the Tips thread? All in one posting preferably?

*Spits coffee out at the screen.....*

Plain Chocolate Bounty Plain chocolate KitKat Plain chocolate with marzipan in. Plain chocolate. White creamy chocolate. As for non chocolate sweets - What's the point?

You mean hope MrsBrendan didn't drown out the neighbours if it was a home birth! Congrats!!

You know for a fact she comes from the Home Counties?

Is he that comedian?

Is that true? Are there folk in ED who do NOT know about this forum? a) I'm shocked b) I'm realistic and think probably only 5% of ED residents know of the EDF c) I live in Peckham Rye because if I say Peckham people think I live in squalor.

What a stupid comment! She's trying to be helpful!

Brilliant. Thanks waynetta. Given away those brahn babies yet?

Not the word I'd have used!

No, you can't assume we're all gonna say shoes. I am very much all woman, but am all motorcyclist too! 2 pairs bike boots, and 3 pairs of shoes, one of them being trainers. Do NOT google bubbleshooter. Don't do it. Do not..... ohhhhhhh it's so FUN!
