Is this any good? A friend is someone I depend on An ear to lend on Someone to pin my hopes on. A friend like you. A friend is someone I care for, Buy a share for, Give up my last Rolo for. A friend like you. A friend is someone I laugh with Share a bath with But never share my boyfriend with! A friend like you.

I say throw yourself into it with gay abandon and emerge the other side with another of life's experiences notched upon your bedpost. Mx

There's no legal requirement in private, domestic self-contained flats to have smoke alarms (of any kind!) although this fire just goes to show how important it is to have them anyway. The linked ones are great to alert everyone instantly, although if you just have the cheaper battery-only ones, they are far better than having nothing at all. If anyone needs advice or help on fitting them, I'm happy to help out (I'm a fire officer) - alternatively go to the LFB website - http://www.london-fire.gov.uk/SmokeAlarms.asp - where you can also arrange for a free home fire safety visit by the local firefighters and they will fit smoke alarms for you.

Without wishing to spoil it for anyone who hasn't seen the first episode, I could swear it was Derren Brown walking around that sports stadium at the end. He's damn clever.

Although a marriage itself is a legally-binding contract, I do think that we live in a sad world if we enter into a marriage armed with a pre-nup 'just in case'. I say that as someone with a greater earning potential than both my ex's and have regarded my consequential loss of property/earnings as the price I have had to pay. Besides, in life there are more important things to worry about than money.

As you did. Once. Maybe...well never actually.

If Beckenham doesn't appeal, Birmingham hosts one every year - why go all the way to Germany when you can buy your sausage and at the same time enjoy a splash-about with the floozie in the jacussi?

Lovasm. That's all you need.

Me too, please.

Cynicism is negative and is also infectious. Once you have it, its hard to lose it. Not being cynical does not mean you are naive. As giggirl has just demonstrated.

I almost definitely will be there.....

I like the fox outfit idea. Dozens of us scampering about the streets, jumping into gardens and digging big holes. One sight of us and the real foxes are sure to scarper over to West Dulwich for sanctuary.

Yes to that Hal, he's amazing at what he does and I'm sure he's loving all this speculation about how he actually did it.

KK, I think the comments made by others were more about what you posted, rather than an attack on you and your opinions. In my opinion, the tone of your posts did come across as quite aggressive, whether you meant that or not. You may have some valid contribution to make but unfortunately it is hard to see it when your posts are so inflammatory.

Playing it back on Youtube, I think the switch from the frozen screen back to 'live' happens as Derren repeats back the numbers, somewhere between him saying 23 and 28 - its at that point the first ball suddenly 'elevates' and also there's a fraction-of-a-second skip in the tape.....

Try this clip of Vic Reeves with Christine Bleakley on Shooting Stars - I laughed so much I cried...

We can all relate to that tale jim, nice one!

well its a tiny little thing BBW and it is irrational - so I can't explain it...!

I actually can't abide Wogan and his witterings on the radio. Glad he's going but can't stand Chris Evans either. His high pitched voice sounds like he's been kicked in the knackers... My preference would be Adrian Chiles - he's got the perfect face for radio.
