  1. Hehe.. I know what Huguenot looks like! I won't reveal anything though ;-)
  2. More praise for Kings from me. I had to have some surgery there and the staff were sooo lovely.
  3. No I don't think it should! Personally I think they should charge for it. Not much but enough to keep the troublemakers out who seem to ruin it every year. I've given up on it now because of that. I think people would still go if you had to pay say ?3 or something like that. The thing that annoys me about it is the price of food. The food was always the best part for me but the prices now are ridiculous. Maybe that's what you mean by becoming commercial? it seems to me the people running the stalls there seem to be more interested in making as much money as possible than actually doing it for tradition and fun and love of it. But that's their fault surely- not because it's more popular/commercial/middle class. Greediness tends to ruin the fun for me.
  4. Womens Institute. WTF is BSAB??

  6. A knitted dress or jumper made of a really nice soft, luxurious wool that makes you feel oh so sexy!
  7. I love the summer just not in London. It does have a tendency to bring out the twats of the city, generally just being noisy and twattish. Peace and quiet is hard to come by and public transport is horrendous. And it's not exactly sexy with all of the sweating, frizzy flat hair, make up falling off your face! Give me winter any day. Peaceful and tranquil, atmospheric, sexy knits, sitting by the fire, hot chocolate, snuggling..
  8. delete thread- I have the info I needed thank you
  9. I'd recommend joining a dating site. My Single Friend is a good one.

  11. Echoing Saffron- it's completely normal, no need to worry.
  12. I completely agree Damian H.
  13. Oooo brilliant, will have to check those out.thanks!

  15. Ok, maybe that was a bit of a ridiculous statement to make about it being society's fault! It does sadden me how dismissive some people can be about the death of addicts.
  16. Exactly DJKQ
  17. I think people are judging her here from what they've written and comparing it to the Norway tragedies. If you're not then fine but don't blame me for me coming to that conclusion when some of you have been very tastless in all of this. Yes me as part of this society is to blame Alan Medic, as are you. I do agree StaferJack that 'I can't imagine any society which has such safety nets that no addict can fail'. However this was a celeb in the spotlight. She shouldn't have fell through that net. What is it saying for other addicts? what hope have they got? But from all of this whingeing about why she's getting so much coverage there are actually some good debates to come from this.
  18. That is not to say it was her fault for not being able to overcome them. It is society's fault. She was clearly extremely unhappy and I think probably would have turned to drink and drugs whether famous or not. It's just a shame she didn't get better care, support and help from everyone around her. We fail addicts- and if she couldn't get out from them then what hope have other addicts got. It's so easy to judge addicts just as many seem to be doing here. Unless you've ever known one though I doubt you'ld all be so self righteous.
  19. By comparing the two I have no idea what you're trying to gain.
  20. It's all sad news, end of! jeez you people are making me so angry.
  21. I agree that it's a waste of life- talented or not. I'm not sad because she was famous or talented but because she couldn't escape her torment and addictions. That's bloody sad.
  22. You Otta!

No one has the right to dictate how death and feelings of loss should take priority in other people's hearts. If you can't be respectful, shut the f*ck up. All of these deaths are total tragedies, and trying to work out which is worse doesn't make you more humane, it just distracts from the true scale of what has happened. It also boils down to the fact that as a society, we have evolved to accept that the sole purpose for anyone in the mainstream entertainment spotlight is to be judged and exploited, and then thrown away in the bin. What ASTOUNDS me is that some of this shit-talking is coming from actors and other artists who i am sure would envy the success of someone like Amy Winehouse......... need i say more.
  24. What ridiculous prices. seriously!
