2 crickets on the bathroom ceiling (2nd floor!) how did they get there? Rats anyone?

What- when the whole place is infested by rats- I expect you would like to knit them some nice woolly bonnets for the winter Sue! -

It has been said for years that in London you are never more than 6ft from a rat. People still leave rubbish out in bags that are ripped open during the night. Rats will eat paper and card as well. Let's hope one of them does not get fleas and transmit bubonic plague like the squirrel in L.A.

Uncleglen here- NEVER to be confused with UncleBen especially on political issues( someone on the EDF gets us confused) -

Is the cost of this coming from the council tax? If so, I am not surprised they are wasting money on this type of hippy nonsense. Since the council politics is at odds with central government politics yet again then front line services will be used as a political football. -

I watched the Returned- very strange- I got the impression that the producers did not know what to do next and came up with something just to keep it going- and now we have to wait until next year. No real plot to work out imho

Vile scum (although I am beginning to think that this is an insult to scum which, for all I know, has an environmental benefit- I had to re-think the phrase 'pond-life' years ago after studying it and finding that it is massively interesting and well-balanced)

Never thought of that but you are correct, especially since King's is the major trauma centre for the South East region of London. There was one there 3 or 4 weeks ago as well when someone was on the train line. Also, you would think that being hoisted into a helicopter and taking off would be more traumatic to the patient than using an ambulance. -
If you mean those ebullient types then I think they are in denial and are over-acting. If they are trying to make me enthusiastic about stuff then their ebullience does not work because I rather prefer to think carefully and quietly about the matters in hand. And I don't think that personality has any genetic basis unless it is a manifestation of some genetically linked chemical imbalance.

There is hope. Apparently there are so many cats and not enough territory so they are developing stress-related complaints like skin problems. Hopefully they will start flinging themselves off roofs and tree tops!

One massive reason for the shortage of chefs is that the Asian children are encouraged in school to aspire to much more than the life of a drudge in a take-away kitchen or restaurant thereby creating a vacuum. The builders, gardeners etc. will encourage their kids to work in the family business in the main- I come across this all the time in my teaching job.

Campari is vile, vile, vile......

There was a programme on tv a few months ago which showed a training school for young people in the UK to train as Indian food chefs (in order to try to address the shortage I daresay). The greatest difficulty the trainee chefs had was a communication problem as they were working with people who could not or did not speak English. All the trainees dropped out except one.

If all the noise polluters really only genuinely want to listen to their music loudly then they would use their headphones and leave the rest of us in peace. But I fear that this is some kind of territorial, showing-off, puerile behaviour and the only thing that can be done about this mindset is obviously some strict enforcement of the anti-pollution legislation such as immediate confiscation of equipment after one warning.

It's too dangerous to be comedy and it's being perpetuated using our taxes!

It all depends on where you live and how often you get out and where you go. -
Or a new god... (hopefully since ramadan started Ifti will not have the energy to compose his long 'sermons')

There is a pirate get together in Dorset about now or next week (at least there was this time last year)

Our Uncle Len left London and disappeared to the West Country somewhere...

(Most of us are lucky AM in that we are allowed to think for ourselves.) This faith school malarkey is completely anachronistic and illogical.

It's a flying spider- because everytime I get one on a newspaper I fling it out of the window!

I was in a staffroom once and a young female teacher had her new class lists and was reading out some names (mainly boys) and said that these children are going to be trouble. One of them had the same name as my very successful son and I told her so - but the fact that she had this attitude and others seemed to agree with her was quite disturbing- she was a 'stuck-up' Lucy!
