Take them to the Herne on Sunday, the food is excellent according to that well known foodie Marmora Man, and the wait will keep them amused and kill a few hours.

Have you looked for possibilities in the what's on thread, if all else fails take them to the only backwoods pub in ED The Castle, it'll take them right back to their mis-spent youth, and they apparently have the best guinness in the district.

What thing's not to show

I heard the last bit of a case on the radio 4. 10 o'clock news this evening. A member of a jury in the death of a cab driver case, went to where it all took place and took measurements. He also quizzed the prosecution about aspects of the case, somehow casting doubts over the case and the judge then dimissed the jury because they had discussed it during the canteen break. Sadly I did not get the full picture and would like to know more, does any forumistas know how I could I get the full story?

Good idea thanks monica

Yes LuvPeckham it describes the symptoms I have suffered with over the weekend. Today I spent most of the day drinking water, and have had a couple of plums off the tree. I feel less distended but still rather sensitive around the gut. I hope we improve, soonest.

I wonder if the plane noise is as bad in the park as over my place?

Best way to Gatwick for most people is to fly there, and then a cab back to home with duty free's, prezzies and luggage:)

Unless you're doing 'IT' with a new hot lover Asset, pretty well everything is mundane, boring, or repetitive, especially now you have your double first in your pocket. Yep, life is more or less down hill all the way to Goose Green Roundabout and retirement, but whatchyagonnado! Had to add a geographical location to stay on target:-$

These might be worth a call if you need more info on your wild and prickly pets.

Next Document: Miscellaneous Hedgehog stuff and sources -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wild Hedgehog Organizations -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are numerous European hedgehog organizations that strive to help out hedgehogs, usually thanks only to volunteer help and donations. One of the first to come into being was the British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS), run by Major Adrian Cole, information about it was sent to me courtesy of Bill Corner, Vanessa Purvis, and Seabury Salmon: I thought I would let you know that here in the UK there exists a society called ``the British Hedgehog Preservation Society''. Their address - in case you want some more info! - is: -- Bill Corner BHPS Knowbury House Knowbury Ludlow Shropshire SY8 3LQ UK Tel: 44 1584 890801 or 890287. Tom Weston sent around the following information about another organization dedicated to rescuing and helping hedgehogs: Having looked after hedgehogs for a number of years, Janet Peto founded Hedgehog Welfare officially in December 1993. It is a small rescue centre, based in Misterton [u.K.], taking in and caring for sick, injured and orphaned hedgehogs. No hedgehog is ever turned away. The aims of Hedgehog Welfare are: To take in sick, injured and orphaned hedgehogs, to care for them and return them to the wild. To encourage the finders of hedgehogs to care for them wherever possible with full assistance from Hedgehog Welfare, including the loan of equipment (when available) to do so. To promote public awareness of the hedgehog in the wild (and of conservation in general) and how everyone can assist. To run courses which will improve the general knowledge and standards of care-givers and veterinary surgeons. If you would like to help or just know more about Hedgehog Welfare, its work, or its courses, please write: Janet Peto, Hedgehog Welfare, P.O. Box 1003, Misterton, Doncaster DN10 4JT England Janet has requested that when writing to her, could you possibly include a stamped return envelope, or at least something to cover the return cost. This will serve to help ensure the funds that Hedgehog Welfare has will go to hedgehogs. Barry Turner (who is the Newsletter Editor/WildAid) contacted me recently with info on WildAid (formerly the SWRRC): I help out with the Staffordshire Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre [(SWRRC) - now WildAid -- Ed.], an animal Sanctuary at Kingsley near Cheadle, Staffordshire, England. Jonathon Hodges, the Curator, takes in large numbers of rescued, sick or injured hogs and hoglets throughout the year. WildAid is a U.K. registered charitable organization which looks after sick, injured, and otherwise endangered wildlife, primarily throughout the British Isles, as well as now helping other Sanctuaries with advice, practical assistance and sometimes financial help. The address for WildAid is: WildAid Sprinks - Lane Kingsley - Near Cheadle Staffordshire England ST10 2Bx Telephone: 01538 754784 Fax: 01538 756702 You can also contact them (Barry Turner) via email at: [email protected] Another group in the U.K. that looks after hedgehogs is the Cleveland Hedgehog Preservation Society (CHPS): The Cleveland Hedgehog Preservation Society is a British group that cares for injured hedgehogs [that] then are released back into the wild. -- Donald Martin Donald also passed along word that the CHPS [11.3] have a web site which contains an excellent overview of what to do if you encounter a hedgehog needing assistance, at: http://www.doned.demon.co.uk/ I have also found information on yet another hedgehog organization in the U.K., courtesy of a post on the alt.fan.hedgehog [11.3] newsgroup by Liz Roberts-Morgan: The Hedgehog Helpline is a registered charity which relies on sympathetic people to enable it to carry on the invaluable work that it does to care for hedgehogs. They produce an interesting booklet describing how to look out for hedgehogs in your garden or in the countryside. *Remember that Hedgehogs are wild animals and the object is to help our prickly friends to survive, the object is always to return him or her to his natural habitat if kept indoors over the Winter. They must never be regarded as pets and prevented from having a natural life.* If you are interested in a free copy of the booklet "All About Hedgehogs," simply send a stamped addressed envelope, large enough to contain an A5 sized booklet to: Hedgehog Helpline 5 Forelandland Road, Whitchurch CARDIFF CF4 7AR http://www.hedgehg.dircon.co.uk/hedgehogs If you would care to make a donation also it would be put to a good cause. Cheques made out to Hedgehog Helpline. -- Liz Roberts-Morgan Almost last, and certainly far from least (how can anything hedgehog related be least?) is ``St. Tiggywinkle's'' Hospital. The following information on it was sent along by Willard B. ``Skip'' Nelson, DVM, with the phone number coming from LeAnne and Adrian: I see that you are looking for Mrs Tiggywinkle's hospital in the UK. I have corresponded with Mr. Les Stocker, M.B.E. of the Wildlife Hospital Trust a.k.a. ``St. Tiggywinkle's'' and I can report that his address is Wildlife Hospital Trust Aston Road, Haddenham, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire HP17 8AF United Kingdom Telephone: (44) 1844 292292 www: http://www.sttiggywinkles.org.uk/

Asset wrote: I am glad it's over but the hard work will be getting a job now. Don't you believe it, that's the easy bit. The hardest bit is relentlessly doing the dull grind for the rest of your natural life, in some cause you do not necessarily believe in. Someone with a double first will no doubt grasp that fact more quickly than the rest of us who never had the where-with-all to obtain such an enviable qualification. I admired your wit and intelligence long ago, and never expected anything less. Well done Asset.

They do, it was called Yate's wine lodge, but I don't know if they still exist. It was the only place that sold wine by the shipload, which was a large glass called a schooner that could render you legless after only two or three. They also had boarded floors with sawdust to kick around whilst you staggered up or down the very long bar.
