peckhamboy you'll be lucky to get a pillow case out of 20 cats !! (unless they're from BIG cats like tigers/lions..)

Sue don't forget you still owe me that ?20 from the one day festival up at the Marmora Golf club. Remember ?

You can get complaint forms from Silvester Rd sorting office. During the postal strike they were chucking them over the counter like confetti.

Charles Mingus - Oh Yeah

Unless there's more risk to your contents as a result of the subsidence, the subsidence should not be the reason for the contents policy price increase.

if it's royal mail i think there's a central no you can ring rather than a local no so you don't give the heads-up to local sorting office that they've been reported (although anyone helping themselves must know it will be reported).

proof that technical dancing is overated.

in fact wait at the upland junction and roundabout and other routes which could be alternatives and look for car with missing headlight casing. Driver wouldn't be going same way next day if they know they hit someone. perhaps driver hasn't had chance to get new casing fitted and can be spotted.

Yeah this is the stuff, keep it coming, come on everyone has experienced something.

I'm not an advocate of the supernatural by any stretch but there are some great stories. What are your experiences? I'd be interested to know what YOU experienced, not your friend's dog's previous owner - but personal experience. A few years ago, myself and some new friends did a ouija board, I didn't know the people very well as I was new in town, staying in a hostel for homeless. These guys didn't even know my surname let alone my personal stuff. Some words being spelt were very pertinent to the questions we were asking and I found it at the same time scary and very tiring. I bailed-out for a while and sat on a chair near the half-dozen people still participating. I asked them to ask my Mother's name (she'd been dead a little while by then). There was some crazy movements from the glass then it spelt her name extremely quickly. I was dumfounded but never told them it was accurate, I then asked what country I was born, it got that right too. I don't care if there's supernatural or not but the experience was freaky. Never done it since though. How about your story ?

I think there are kits you can get that have the basic tools and replacement glass, I think they're not too pricey (certainly not ?140). Technically it's maybe not a complex task so perhaps you could check these kits out and fix it for her after buying the kit.

Clare maybe this will become a repeating problem if there IS someone fed-up with the bike being on the paveement, potential damage on the roads and your increasing challenge in moving the bike around as your pregnancy develops. Perhaps mothballing the bike for a short while once you're not riding the bike anymore is an option, then you can relax as far as the bike is concerned and reinstate bike (+ baby) capers after the little one is born.

Kingy don't start a fight (you would lose IMO..) !! You offered advice and it was declined, albeit not delicately. Let these people embark on a career in arch-criminality, you know you'll see the headlines as they descend the stairs from the dock at the Old Bailey, heads hung in shame, commencing their life sentences for numerous and avoidable crimes if they'd only listened to your advice years before when you tried to reign-in there wayward and criminal tendencies...

Give Kingy a break. By law it may well be illegal. If it is, and as Kingy accurately says, artists lose out which is why they try to protect their material, the question is actually 'how do I steal this music ?'. Which doesn't really mean Kingers deserves insults.

1. Get a CD and place in quality stereo. 2. Set up laptop to record through a quality microphone. Place mic 6 feet from stereo speakers. 3. Do some test playing of offending CD, to set recording / playback levels. 4. Play CD and record to laptop. You can do this a track at a time to create seperate files, or record entire CD in one go then chop up sound file into seperate files. 5. Load file(s) into iTunes/iPod. 6. Listen and enjoy ! Work with what you've got. Just like when we were kids. *This information should not be used to pirate commercially available music media, it is a speculative suggestion for use on only one's own productions/material*

Somehow I have a beef with the Oxo tower, something I should take stock of.

Never been turned away for being scruffy and believe me I do not dress up at all. Most people dress up there cos they feel they have to which is fair enough I guess, so assume it IS smart elegant and you won't feel intimidated. Funny how the waiting staff can have attitude like they are the celebrities there !

"I think we seem to be civil only when it suits us" - agreed, a lot of people in Rwanda (or, rather, NOT in Rwanda) would also agree. "My Mum ... is racist and also hates Germans" - My Grandad is salt of the earth, gentle as a lamb but is racist to the core and also HATES Germans/Japanese - but he fought and killed loads of them as they tried to kill him and (did kill) his friends. "How can it be that people can walk past someone who is clearly suffering in the street" - people are scared in this society, in London. Less likely to happen in Ivybridge, Devon or Ledbury, Herefordshire. The original premise is accurate though - most people are decent and try to be.

My god, I was stuck in the jam right behind the green where the ambulances were yesterday morning, I had to guess my way down to the M25. Someone later told me a cyclist had been killed there. Shock to hear it's Gary, he was a good domestic boxer and seemed extremely down to earth. RIP.
