If only there were some sort of giant global database available to us free of charge which we could use to check.

And you can hardly ever get The Wiggles on the jukebox.

Feels like a sort of Son of Snorky, a softened version. The vocabulary and interests are similar.

Thomas, people have tried to address your discussion point by offering points of view on different standards of slaughter and animal welfare - you have dismissed them with contempt because an animal is still being raised to be killed and eaten. That being your stance, what on earth would be the point of discussing halal or kosher meat practices with you? You appear to believe that there is no acceptable animal slaughter for meat. We could spend weeks going back and forth, and you would only respond 'Wrong -none of the above'.

Annette, so far ostrich is being served up, the head-in-the-sand kind.

It seems to me that the thread is about providing the streets near the station with slightly fewer parking spaces so that when their residents still can't park outside their houses they're going to have to blame their neighbours instead of commuters, adding cost to local businesses (luckily there's no economic downturn), turning Oglander into a commuter parking zone, and charging me ?125 pounds a year to be able to continue to park on a street not far from my house.

AM, do you post using your phone? Might that be the answer?

What sad stories.

I live in the proposed zone, and did not receive the pack. I did see small notices pinned to lampposts nearby, though. I'm not sure whether relying on people reading lampposts counts as notification, however the council did apparently post a pack to everyone in the proposed zone, mine may have gone astray.

Rehearsals for our Christmas concert start Monday, Advent is 16 days away... 'tis nearly the season.

Well, I'm on my mobile so I did extrapolate - sorry if I misquoted you. However, it was the very first post of the thread that suggested if mums wanted to drink, they should hire a babysitter.So in that instance I do thinkthe question stands. Also sorry if my attitude offended you. I had made an effort to put my questions politely, obviously that was not successful. Hope you enjoy living in ED and are not too upset. That was not my intention at all.

Adam&Fiona, puzzled by your post. Are you citing the example raised by DamianH on p.3? I may have missed another one raised later in the thread, but if you are the story is different in your version, which is strange. The other thing that is puzzling is your saying 'no-one is saying you shouldn't bring children into pubs' - that was exactly the suggestion of the OP, and quite a topic in the last few pages of the thread. No reason why you can't raise your own topic, but it's not a direct repetition of the thread in the general section at all, and if you are citing Damian's example, why have you made the behaviour described so much worse?

Hooray! I completely agree with Richard. Anyone can sing if they do sing. It's so sad the way lots of people are convinced they can't, what a glorious pleasure denied. (I can't come because I work, but I would be happy to be a Hummy Mummy in spirit)

It's as though he was there. Spooky.

I laugh ostentatiously at all sorts of things, why not? Otherwise people might be thinking about something else.

Many thanks, gsirett

But then Doctor H has > diagnosed me as ill so that explains it. Harp > harp. Hey Thomas I personally have no issue with your starting these threads on the forum. I think Annette also showed enough interest to share his philosophy of meat-eating, pity you chose not to engage but I'll have another try. Do you really not see an ethical difference between organically raised and humanely slaughtered animals for meat and for example battery farming? Does it come under a single category: "slaughtered"? If so, why ask about Kosher/Halal, by the way? Would it be better, for example, than gettig old and starving to death, or being killed by predators? Look forward to your thoughts I'm a meat eater, by the way, but a choosy one.

I'm in the proposed CPZ so will be happy to sign a petition against its implementation. An online petition on the EDF is appealing, but I don't anonymous votes would carry much weight. We're all goin to have to vote, sign the petition, email our councillors and email our MPs.

I don't agree with the OP, but at least she expressed herself politely - there do seem to be an awful lot of people queuing up to enjoy having a go at her, sometimes accusing her of saying things she hasn't said, which seems more than is deserved.

mastershake, if you live near the station you live around 6 minutes away from my house, and there's always parkig available.

I expect Lady D has a spare copy.

Ceci Bon!

If it's any consolation to drivers, the pedestrian crossing request button is now much slower to change the lights than the old one.

I would like to have a street named after me. Or maybe just a Mews.

Enjoy, thank you for sharing the article. What do you mean by "too often, too careless"? I was looking at the article for an indication of what would be too much, or too often but it seems to imply that using paracetomol per se creates a risk.
