It wasn't many years ago that acupuncture was derided, not so now after the programme of a tennis ball sized goyta was removed (cut) from a chinamans throat and only pain relief was a needle being twiddled. Recuperation being much quicker without anaesthetic. I have used chinese medicine for prostate problems over the last few years and it has proven much more effective than any western medicine with less side effects. When euro trained african doctors return to their homelands they find the local offerings more effective than our more "sophisticated" western medicines. It is often the case that NHS docs do not treat anecdotal imformation from patients seriously, as if they imagine your brain ceases to function you being only a patient. I am convinced that a procedure to be around for many years must have some benefit, otherwise it would have died out. I have always been a great believer in the NHS but I also believe that there is an arrogance or superiority in many of our docs, which do not take seriously anyone not medically or scientifically trained.

All women I know need all rooms set at the temperature high enough to grow rubber. Yet they survive better than men in cold conditions. When the army lost a bunch of their super fit men on the moors, they had helicopters out with searchlights until they found them, because they keel over and die overnight. When they lost a bunch of waafs nobody gave a monkeys, because women survive and are much more durable. To get back to the original how green..... it is cool enough to need a sweater although it is centrally heated. I have made attempts to remove draughts by using filler around the skirting, and installing secondary glazing, and insulating the loft.

Asset wrote: Annual charge of ?229 paid in monthly In 4 years or less you have paid them enough to purchase a new boiler. It is a very expensive way of 'renting' your CH system when lots of good CH men are available via the forum. Divert your 229 into a domestic account of your own and save your money. Clare the motorized valve which Bob said sounds right to me, they are a regular item for change usually you can get a new head which drives it for about ?20 or less and a CH man worth his salt, would be in and out in less than half an hour. The whole new valve is around ?50 but then it take a couple of hours to drain down and refill. Ring John Morris or his partner mark 0797 353 1511 he has just done mine. Ps general servicing is of little value, it does not prevent breakdowns just have it fixed when a problem occurs.

Chav or CWALD had a new 'Barnet' and looked an almost unrecognisable 10 years younger, I must ask her which hairdresser she uses;-) I met AnnaJ who caught out the 'bobby Goldbrough' interloper puffing his own group, well done again for protecting us from pretenders. Hibbs insisted on wearing her sticky backed name plate on her v.shapely back pocket of her jeans. Moos had abandonded her nine month old to an orphanage for a couple of hours, she looked very athletic and trim having so recently borne her offspring. Floating Onion is a 6 foot plus striped shirt guy, I expected to see someone more feminine with such a domestic culinary name tag. You cant tell a poster by his tag! Another-Paul, Citizen-Ed, and Bagpuss (she was looking younger too) whom I had met on my first edf drinks at the 'dog' Ally Cat was there I think to ensure floating onion didn't sink. Blonde, Georgia who organises these bashes was there from very early on, with a bold table sticker announcing this was the place for forumites, which I thought very useful. A very pleasant evening and more ladies attended The Upland, there seemed rather fewer last month at the 'dog'. Bellenden Belle was there, she tagged her other half 'Mr BB' I shall let him choose and write his own tag next time. Sean Mc, Keef, Mockney and many others whom sadly, because of the ravages of time and having a lousy memory, I cannot recall nice to see you again.

It is often recommended on the packets to 'dispose of correctly' but until Damo started this thread I didn't know where to deposit them, good old Damo.

Well good old peregrine, it's not as if feral pigeons are an endangered species exactly. In the dead of winter if I put out food for the song birds there will be 20 pigeons around it in as many minutes in my garden. So go it peregrine(s) I say.

Not fair far too expensive for the punishment to fit the crime! Although it has certainly concentrated our minds Sean on dropping any litter of any description any where.

I heard aircraft flying over at 4 45am and found it surprisingly early, why so early lately?

6 hours to go

everywhere's crap if you are broke

Ed Forum, for president:)

I think Ed Forum could make a living on the comedy circuit. I certainly have more laughs from him than most of the so called "comedians".

Bitching about east dulwich is in

I have bartered with solicitors and saved myself enough money to have supplied and fitted a hall and stair carpet. Ask the price to get out of one house into another house, and then try another then another qouoting what the cheapest said instead of paying 750 I was in for 300 it took 4 hours and at that time I didn't clear that amount per hour.

Do we all drift to the right Moos as far as I am concerned I hate to say but yes. My father did it I have done it and my offspring seem to be doing it already.

Some of us dream about the earth moving, other than digging the garden;-)
