I sometimes do that, but more because I look like an utter tramp otherwise. My beard is tramp beard.

But we don't live in the borough anymore, so wasn't sure at all (in the borough I work in they don't like sending kids to other boroughs). And pretty stressful when you're waiting for an answer and then get told you're not going to get it (luckily we eventually did). Horrific perhaps a bit dramatic, but not nice.

Phew, got what we wanted, but that was a horrific 2 and a half hours. Not even totally happy with the school, but that's for another time, at least we won't be going to two different ones!

It's not. Some seem to be filtering through, but as of yet our's still isn't there. londonhypnobirthing Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > There's an app you can download called ParentComms > - that should have your outcome x I'll have a look... Thanks

Yep, this is their website http://www.bromley.gov.uk/ Although I'm hearing that some are getting eadmissions responses, but not us as of yet. Those bastards had better be putting in some serious overtime right now!!!

Still no news for us... (Bromley)

Just need yours RD.

I thought later than that, I was sure at least part of it was there in to the early 90s. Bit doesn't really matter.

It's usually end of the day.

Have you lot seen this story? http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/apr/15/bradford-fire-stafford-heginbotham-martin-fletcher Pretty shocking stuff if true.

When was that actually demolished? It stood unused for years!

But that would cost an absolute fortune because the government would have to fork out half the cost of the privately sold property. Unless I'm misunderstanding you.

Wasn't that the whole problem with RTB in the 80s, they said they'd build more homes with money raised from RTB, but never did. This looks like a move designed to rid us of social housing. Something some people would genuinely like to see.

Haha, that's brilliant Loz. Fair play for trying though.

I'm too lazy to look at links. Is this proposed to be in the same spot as the old lido (opposite what was once the King's Arms and is not flats)?

Bollocks, you've been desperate to tell us about that flight! ;-)

No, they got themselves one, were too pissed to do anything and didn't want to have to pay, so tried pushing me in there so they wouldn't have to.

2004 stag do in Lithuania. Spent all day heavy drinking, and ended up falling asleep in a bar (God knows what time of night) so stag's dad put me in a taxi and paid the driver to take me to our hotel, which thankfully he did. Crawled up the stairs to find a couple of our party outside their room they grabbed me and pushed me through the door and where I was greeted by an absolutely beautiful young woman in black lingerie who approached me and started kissing me and removing my jacket. I thought "this is f^cking amazing!!!" until about 20 seconds later my brain sort of kicked in and I thought "hang on, beautiful young blondes don't tend to throw themselves at me like this. This is a prostitute". Next I'm sat on the edge of the bed slurring a rambled explanation of the moral pitfalls of using prostitutes to a young woman who spoke no English, whilst if I'm honest, probably staring inappropriately at her. I think I gave her whatever was in my wallet, mumbled an apology and run upstairs to my room.

In I think 2009 or 10, the covers band I was in was playing a big charity open air gig in Kent. It was on the grounds of a pub and it was a long hoty day so a few beers were consumed and I was a little bit too tipsy on stage and probably made the off mistake. The following year we went back, but it was made clear to me by a couple of members of the band that I would be expected to drink responsibly. I honestly planned to, but had just started on some meds (bad times) and when I turned up early and met my aussie mate and realised we had a couple of hours to kill before we could get the one taxi in town to the venue, we sort of got on the shots. I was still convincing myself I had everything in hand. We got to the venue, I ate a burger off the bbq, and had a couple of pints. About an hour before we went on I realised that I was feeling completely pissed. I necked water, I tried chucking up, Ihad a minor panic attack. It was feckin awful on stage, not because of the crowd who were all completely pissed after drinking in the sun for hour after hour (we were headling once the sun had gone down), but because I could feel the disapproval of certain members of the band. I dropped my pick God knows how many times, I totally forgot the words to a song I was singing, and I basically wanted the ground to swallow me. The self loathing the next week or so was awful and still lingers sometimes when I think of it. BUT, my rendition of Roxanne still convinced a bloke to hire us for his 50th (apparently I had a lucid moment), and a video clip someone posted the next day on the event FB page didn't sound too bad. But that 2 hours on stage was possibly the worst 2 hours of my life.

I think I've got too many to mention.
