  1. A year after being diaagnosed with a terminal illness I realised that I still hadn't made a valid will!! I know it sounds ridiculous but I've had a wonderful & busy year. My best friend & I realised that what we had was far more than friendship, so we became civil partners. The day itself was fantastic, both for us and everyone who came too. My partner was 40 a couple of months ago, so we threw a huge party with nearly 200 guests, who we realised we love to bits & to whom, we realised we mean so much. I have spent the year (well between 6 weeks of radio & 6 months of chemo) contacting people I had lost touch with. Just weeks after contacting a childhood friend, he was killed in a road traffic accident, I am so glad I had been in touch with him & realised how lucky I have been. Being told that my brain tumour was back led me to a solicitor on the same day. My will is made, I have decided what to do with my earthly goods & I have bought the plot next to my chilhood friend in the garden of remembrance where his ashes are buried. I don't feel closer to death for doing these things, that is out of my hands, but I feel more settled and content. Amazingly, I have always had a valid will in place/ except since my partner & I became civil partners. I don't know why I delayed..... I'll let the phsycologists amongst you decide.
  2. Well if any body of people could recognise entrapment, I'm sure the police could!

  3. I decided years ago that if I, and everyone else, refused to pay for Sky, it wouldn't be able to buy out all the sport I liked to watch. Plus the thought of putting money into the Rupert's empire was a step too far....


    Years later.... I watch very little sport anymore... I read more now though!

    Please let us know when you'll be doing it again this year. We loved watching them last year.

  5. I am so intrigued about this driver I am going to spend a day looking for him. Can someone give me a more detailed description please? I am disabled & have a Freedom Pass so I could really ham it up, ask him not to move the bus until I have sat down, ask him to detail his route & suggest improvements to his customer service. Obviously, I'd do all this outside rush hours.....


    As & when he flips his lid, I'll take a few photos of him & perhaps tape him on my mobile, as we sit, immobile, at the roadside.


    & yes, I am serious....

  6. Sorry I haven't read through all of this yet, but I thought that it would be important that the police trace the school ASAP (from your description of the uniform) & try to find these boys before the school breaks for summer.


    One thing I learned from a similar situation, when I was once attacked in Greece; make as much noise as you can. The man who tried to mug me was so taken aback when I looked him in the eye and screamed & roared, he turned & fled. However, I am a man and I think he thought I was a complete lunatic. However, I kept my wallet.

    I caught one minute of the whole vile performance, the last minute. I too feel sorry for her, very strange behaviour that a family who wanted "privacy" would then put a microphone to the poor child.

  8. Whoops, I forgot to say, no it's not legally theft! Slightly immoral perhaps becasue we all pay tips thinking that they will go to the serving staff, but that is only guaranteed to happen if you give cash to the waiter, anything else should go through the proprietors' books and be their income.
