Before you know it, there's a knock on your door, the backpacks are blocking the hallway and they're sleeping on your lounge floor for six weeks - gratis.

ha ha! (!! !!!!!!) !!

A pie-a-day might be just fine for the 'big-boned' out there, but in all honesty I prefer to be able to see my feet when I look down.

Well, the ability to squeeze your Mondeo right up to your front uPVCs makes it easier for you to park your second car (the one you don't need) outside your house as well. Or perhaps park a delapidated heap on the 'drive' and two on the road? I don't really care that much either. Personally I'd rather see, say, a tree when I look out my window as opposed to a radiator, a wing mirror and a roofrack. But each to their own.

Enough,Already!--"Teh"/"The".... Tony.. If Sean absolutely promises not to type 'teh' instead of 'the' - can we expect a space after on comma on your part? Surely,that 's not too much teh ask?

Dropped kerbs do take up slightly more room. And there's the extra danger of having an irate bald man rushing out and threatening to kill you because you've got a quarter of a tyre over his precious dropped kerb.. true story. The main thing is that they look totally completely rubbish - to the point that they can even have an adverse effect on that all-important house value and desirability. So I think the majority of kerbs were dropped by the previous wave of 'new' residents, at a time when being able to park your car in clear sight - two feet from your front room sofa - was, for some reason, considered a real boon. Many 'new' residents would rather convert them back, I'm sure. Some are doing so already, round our neck. If you go far enough back, 'new' residents didn't even have cars so it wasn't a problem.

Ted, I'm finding it hard to reconcile your suggested ?2.95/day (for the cheaper pie - beak & snout, I expect) with my current expendition of 59p for Ena's finest. (89p if I need an emergency tin from the Co-Op) Even allowing for my daily soup supplement (2 slices bread (white), once inch-cubed cheddar cheese (number 3 or higher) cut into thin slices) - it represents one hell of a hike. In fact, lunch expenditure would rocket by an extra ?800 per year - seriously cutting into my budget for designer furniture, cocaine, pointless electronic devices etc etc

But when it costs 50p for a tin of meat you know something's wrong. I'll stick with Ena Baxter, thanks. Her fictitious family of rustic Scots have been making homemade soup for years - and never for less than 59p per shot. Quality.

Seriously? Corned beef? You might as well run your tongue around under the rim and wash it down with a drink from the pan.

Corned. Beef. Acceptable emergency rations in the belly of a Cold War bunker, perhaps.. but not acceptable in the 21st century.

sorry.. wrong thread

YES we CAN

Corned beef, Simon? Now that's sad.

Well there's me, Mrs *Bob*, Trisha, Ann Maurice and the cat at home. And sometimes my Mum stays over - but we tend to keep the door shut then.

Who said anything about being alone?

I like to think of them as two sides of the same wanking coin.

An important amendment to my previous homeworkers schedule: Monday: 1 x tin Baxters Carrot & Coriander (with 'Trisha')...* Tuesday: 1 x tin Baxters Pea & Ham (with Trisha)...* Wednesday: 1 x tin Baxters Mushroom Potage (with 'Trisha')...* Thursday: 1 x tin Baxters Carrot & Coriander (with 'Trisha')...* Dress-Down Friday: 1 x tin Heinz Chicken Noodle (with 'Doctors')...** *follwed by light masturbation (optional) **followed by light-to-medium masturbation

Matt, I salute you. In the current turbulent economic climate, suggestions for what to have for lunch whilst you're watching Trisha is a brave request. But as it happens, this is my specialist subject. Monday: 1 x tin Baxters Carrot & Coriander (with 'Trisha') Tuesday: 1 x tin Baxters Pea & Ham (with Trisha) Wednesday: 1 x tin Baxters Mushroom Potage (with 'Trisha') Thursday: 1 x tin Baxters Carrot & Coriander (with 'Trisha') Dress-Down Friday: 1 x tin Heinz Chicken Noodle (with 'Doctors')

I suggest doing a PGCE, Steve. It's what most other people do when they don't know what to do.

My mistake.. hee hee!
