Robert Poste's Child

I've got one of those mini screwdrivers for glasses that came out of a cracker! Had it for years. It's on a keyring too. Crackertastic.

ZT, I wonder if you really meant that? I find it unbelievably stupid and bigoted. I do hope the person who was injured is OK.

Thanks. Will go now...

Does anyone know if he does good bacon? I'm having a craving.

The hostel place next to the church at the top of Barry Road accepts presents which they distribute to their residents, who I believe are mainly immigrants and asylum seekers (apologies if that's an inaccurate description, no offence intended). You can drop them off at the office.

You've just reminded me of the women who swim (slowly) two or three abreast so they can chat more easily, obliging you to swim around them. I've no problem with them doing that if they want, just seems rather selfish to do it during adult lane I when they could go at a general swim time.

Another vote for the Plough man. I got a chicken there recently that looked like it wouldn't have gone down without a fight.

Why do sprouts get such a bad press? You just boil them for five minutes and they're lovely. Unlike turkey, which is at best a bland backdrop for everything else.

Have you tried the Family Room or Family Room Classifieds (sections in this forum)? This is a big family area and I'm sure you'll find some answers there.

The lifeguards don't do anything even if you DO ask them. They're too busy either chatting each other up or staring into space.

Is that spam?

'Mistletoe and wine' makes me feel positively violent.

I have some sympathy this with, though I get that 'slow', 'medium' and 'fast' will always be relative terms depending on who's in, and if there are a load of slower people in then in the interests of making the most of the available space you might find yourself sharing a faster lane with someone who's slower than you. I (faster than a turtle but slower than a barracuda - a porpoise maybe?) have given feedback a number of time to lifeguards on duty, the people on reception and also online, and nothing ever changes, even when I've complained about the way faster people will sometimes swim in slower lanes and try to intimidate you out of the way or 'accidentally' push you. I wish they'd listen as it's very off-putting. I'm not suggesting the OP is one of these but it's a public pool and some people act like they have priority, which is just bad manners. While we're at it, it would be pleasant if everyone could remember to shower before they get in...

If you have half a bottle of wine every night you'd be off the scale, apparently, which seems unlikely but I suppose it is comparing with a national average.

This drink calculator is interesting. This week I am like a Kuwaiti. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/health-30500372

You may have a point, Maxxi. I'm still thinking about it as if an EDFer does happen to be feeling lonely on Christmas Day I reckon they're quite likely to visit the forum. Bit like people who are in the gym after dark on Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve - it's a sign...

On the radio this morning they did a thing on loneliness at Christmas. Was thinking of starting a thread to see if there's anyone who needs a bit of contact and would otherwise suffer in silence but I know someone will take the p or troll it, which might make things worse for someone who's feeling down.

A lot of people seem to believe that a brand or designer label says something about you. (It says you're an idiot.)

Could BT/Fon be the problem? When I was getting the blocked message I was also using Fon and my home laptop. I haven't been able to test that combination today but no problems on my phone or via the Southwark Lib wifi using the same laptop.

Or there's a hole in your puffa jacket.

I won't be able to check from home until tomorrow now but if it's cleared for everyone else then I expect it has for me too. Thanks for investigating.

Access still blocked from home computer. Admin, please could you respond?

You shot yourself in the foot there by over-egging it and posting the same message four times. Why not just do a straightforward post in the right section?
