  1. Not sure I'd want to live in Gnaw-wood either, come to that.
  2. Posts in the wrong thread, particularly what are clearly ads. I sometimes report them to Admin but not sure this is being enforced much. This week seems to be mainly events. Suppose it makes a change from the endless 'research opportunities' and me-too TV/media idiots looking for people to mock.
  3. Like finger nails down a blackboard, frankly.
  4. I don't want to live somewhere that sounds like a word from the Inbetweeners.
  5. 'Openminded' would be the giveaway, surely. Though I suppose it could also be someone looking for illegals to entrap into the sex trade.
  6. Someone once tried to convince me that as I love Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan loves Leonard Cohen, therefore I should love Bob, but I just can't bear him.
  7. Katy Perry. Lady Gaga. All the women who sing those power ballads.
  8. William Rose definitely doesn't. A friend's dog I was looking after a while back refused to stay outside, which didn't go down well, although I managed to get her out again before the trolley dash she obviously had in mind.
  9. Bob Dylan. Tuneless droning.
  10. Short for 'Dockyard Doris' maybe, which I remember older gay friends using to mean an unattractively butch queen, possibly after a drag act with the same name.
  11. Just meant that you can't really hold them responsible for the song. Would be interesting to know if the other versions are less irritating though.
  12. I don't either, but then I don't use the Gents.

  14. Mine's the off-the-shelf sort and pretty straightforward. If you need advice on the accounts/tax side, you could have a chat with Ray Coman of Coman & Co. http://comanandco.co.uk/
  15. I guess another answer to the Q is that it's not real...
  16. As I said in the second post on this page then...
  17. Or shag Mrs Sarkozy. Allegedly.
  18. Thanks; might give it a go.
  19. Aren't the inside and the outside in different dimensions? The exterior is supposed to be just a disguise, a way of fitting in with the local environment, so it won't attract attention, so maybe it doesn't exist outside the beholder's perception. I'm seeing my nephew tomorrow and Dr Who is his mastermind subject so I'll ask him.
  20. I think of it as a management tool. Happy to report it works all the way up to CEO level.

  21. Back to the topic: it's supposed to be getting colder tomorrow, so you could also try lemon, honey and raw ginger. Unless I've got a cold I use a lot of ginger and only about a quarter of a teaspoon of honey. Or even ginger in hot water on its own.

I had pear with apple, cucumber and celery for breakfast, and it was delicious (I find fruit too sweet on its own). The markets are full of pears right now; all you need is a juicer.
  23. A leaflet came through the door today and it looked quite appealing. The concept seems to be Cook meets Abel & Cole (the leaflet could have been mistaken for either) - you choose one of their recipes online, then they deliver a box of all the ingredients you need to make it (organic, of course). They claim the cost is on a par with supermarket ready meals. Has anyone tried it? I'd be interested to hear other people's experiences.
  24. Well, went this evening and I see what you mean. Nigel Lindsay pretty much carries it at the moment. I could hear the other two most of the time - it's a small theatre - though some of the detail was lost. Richard Schiff was channelling Robert de Niro in the first act but got past it after that. Lindsay Lohan seemed to be focused on remembering her lines, but it's early days and no doubt in a couple of weeks she'll have let them go and got inside the part a bit more and developed her voice. Perhaps what she's doing now would look good on camera but unless you're in the front few rows of the stalls you wouldn't get a lot of it. While I think she deserves a chance, I couldn't help thinking of all the great young actresses around who could do so much more with the role, and what that would do for the play as a whole. The usual irritation of fans who don't go to the theatre applauding wildly and giving a standing ovation at the end...
  25. You don't need to go that far, uncleglen. A cold, hard stare often does the trick, ideally looking over the top of your glasses.
