Buy the ones which are big and have them taken in, unless of course "High and Mighty" have opened a sports department. Do a search on 'frostyfreezy' or "ludoscotts" both are competent seamstresses.

Great links guys. I suppose Wikileaks has done for the world what Private Eye has done for this country. They both pierce the soft underbelly of society, and both are highly relevant and should be preserved. When you think of how many court cases the "Eye" has had to fight it is surprising that it still exists today.

I found it a loss to my life, it left a hole, what a waste of talent. Do you know Lennon was considered to be in the top ten most dangerous men in the US, not bad for a scouse balladier. It made me realise just how paranoid some people are in the states. When there are all those mafia characters, and the Watergater's, and numerous others involved in who knows what, but John Lennon was number ten.

I am with citizenED I have never cared for their "chewing gum" music. An interesting fact about ABBA they payed more tax than the Volvo car company, this was in their hay day of course.

Great link Manda!

All the singletons at school were different to the rest of us. They all seemed happier in the company of adults than with other children, and they didn't or couldn't fantasise about stuff like other kids either, almost as if they couldn't play with other children. One aged nun I spoke to whilst crossing to Ireland said "I always think a single child is a lonely child". The same nun also said "if you are born a dunce you will die a dunce". When as an adult you tell a child off for doing something wrong, one can sometimes make a mistake and get it wrong, in such cases the other child will speak up for it's brother or sister but a singleton loses out on that advantage. My ex-wife would have stopped after one child, but the then nanny said 'when we were long gone they have no one of their own around', so we had two. They are good friends and the eldest who has a more hesitant outlook on life, gains confidence from her younger sibling who doesn't seem to have a nerve in her body. Had I been rich I would have liked a larger family, but I don't think that would have happened with that spouse.

A school buddy wrote saying: "all that kept us warm as kids in the fifties, was the constant beatings and the sexual abuse from the teachers" which made me laugh.

Even madmen need watching. wrote Tarot I assume you have the same feelings for 'postman' Assange as Santerme then Tarot.

Loz thanks for the link, I agree with his argument, it does amount to 'shooting the post boy'!

PostMark is the card shop in North cross rd, what a good idea to frank and post them too, good service indeed. Unlike their opening hours not until 10am where most shops are open at 9am.

I heard it was going to be an ice sculpture college.

:))

And having worked in Govt service for twenty three years I know the value of maintaining confidentiality on issues. wrote Santerme. Have you any thoughts that some of what might be released may inveigle some one close to you Santerme? He needs like any potential criminal to face justice in Sweden should he be guilty. wrote Santerme. No value laden statements there then! I thought you had to be proven guilty before the tag of criminal was laid on anyone.

:)) You made me laugh loz!

He needs like any potential criminal to face justice in Sweden should he be guilty. It seems to me Santerme you have made up your mind already by calling him a dangerous nut job who should be closed down. It is always a pleasure to listen to someone who has an open mind on such unimportant matters as reporting facts.

None of what you have stated thus far convinces me he is a 'dangerous nut job' as you put it Santerme.

etherealizing......perhaps.

Nonsense, this chap is a dangerous nut job. wrote Santerme. He cannot be such a nutter if he is clever enough to get where he has. He is only repeating the dubious stuff from our wonderfully honest and straight as a dye politicians. How does that make him a nutter?

Last year the longest I queued was for 35 minutes. Take a shooting stick and a good book, if you need to post anything which needs a signature.

Quite right Chick. If it wasn't for people like him we wouldn't know a fraction of what goes on in the real world of politics.

Hi Si, could you forward by private message next weeks winning lottery numbers. Thank you in anticipation!

The tiresome bearded bore from deal or no deal, or is it goldenballs?

They are trying to bring this man down for repeating the truth? Is this witch-hunt justified?

Damn! I do hope not KK, my recorded package was going all the way to my accountant's in Cheshunt!

Tony Robinson should have retired after Baldrick, Bill Oddie should have retired before the Goodies, Bruce Forsyth has been mentioned already several times, Judi Dench, Stephen Fry is on the cusp of being a great bore of our time, Terry Wogan has left his broadcasting spot perhaps now he might be banned from the box. Angus Deayton should be brought back from retirement.
