Replace a faulty fuse and reset the fusebox Yep 6. Finish a curry hotter than a Madras (no fluids allowed)Yep but not from choice. 7. Erect a fence (that will withstand a decent stiff breeze) Yep 8.

Good idea Georgia.

Who cares about a political divide when clock babies are at a premium. Take him to bed and see what he is made of, if he gets over that hurdle start talking salaries and/or investments and you should be able to work out whether he can afford to keep you in a style you couldn't possibly do in a million years. Politics have little meaning in real life, does he get hard, can he do it, does he earn, can you put up with him long term ejaculating in less than 30 seconds, does he have baggage from a bit of previous and if so what is her share of the proceeds if it all goes boobs north? Never let political pride and/or little frisson's stand in the way of practicalities. Get a hold on him, throw him to the ground, and shag his brains out........................... You'll come up smelling of RoseH=happiness

Brendan you made me lol. Good man:))

When does the PCSO's service come in to action, I thought this was their territory, is there a number for them?

I'm sick and tired of the constant whingeing and worrying about property proces...........

Why isn't this thread in the property room, come on admin wake up and earn your corn.

Happy birthday AnnaJ, I do hope this year is an improvement upon the last one, you know, when some things were said and maybe better had they not been mentioned. I hope we can get this year sliding past a little more easily, now we are a little more mature and you being lower maintenance an all. May your year be full of ash cash, and umpty's Anna dear.

Anyone who can afford to drop cigar butts can certainly afford a swim.

Time to fit a chain and a spyhole and not undo the chain but speak through the gap. This way it's more reassuring and you have the benefit of not being seen.

Less is more.

When I had shops I would refuse entry to anyone wearing a crash helmet, this was long before 'Hoody' culture was born as there were no cameras to hide from in the seventies and eighties.

My buddy went about ten years ago and started off in Peru and got mugged by a guy weilding a machette in the middle of nowhere, and lost all the money he was carrying around $300 from his 'secret' body belt. He reckoned you could get robbed for your back-pack or just your boots. Ideally you need to travel in a largish group, never alone.

Throw your shoe at him Mark, it's the only language those types understand.

Food stalls in north cross road, charge as if they belong to Fortnum & Mason

I reckon if you offered him that 20K he would snatch your hand off TMax.

Thieving gits. If you contact 'mlteenie' who repairs forumista's bicycles, he may have a used one that might do the job.

Never mind all that pontificating and academic 'xylofied' and 'badtasteofied', what's happened to that duck?

Not so FN, if she is doing this on a regular basis say five days a week, she would be raking in hundreds of taxfree pounds. Per month and year it does add up to a sygnificant amount. Stop looking through rose tinted spectacles FN, and visit planet Earth sometime.

Good for you Monkey, councils hate getting publicity which highlights their incompetence.

I went to Lloyds to get a couple of films developed and they turned me away, I went to the co-op pharmacy and they took them and will be posted directly back to me.

Rob Wilson, a well known forum gardener, sells 3 bags for a tenner.

The old and infirm would be well advised to stay home as I am sure they will.
