  1. Dulwich Fox I am off to the funeral now.Please can some one decode for me to read tonight when I get return. All the soul searching brought on by the loss of someone at the age of 52 which seems so so wrong. Next time someone says they feel a bit dizzy-think potential stroke-don't just say lie down and it might go away:(
  2. there is a pretty horrible powder to make up into a drink to help with de hydration - something like diorlyte? if you think they are not getting enough to drink, but getting them to hold that down is pretty hard too. Hope you dont get it too.
  3. Really you have to think that if you buy second hand if you sell it third hand you will lose little money whilst if you buy new and then sell you will lose a lot more money. If you really take to it you will want to sell and upgrade soon anyway. Things to think are IMO are your height/ weight. Dont go for a sexy bike with thin racing tyres if you are not of athletic build. go to somewhere like evans, pick their brains , try a few out and then try and get a second hand one. Things to think about are - are you going to have to carry it up stairs? will you want to put it in your car/ on your car. will you want to go up on pavements? ( need thicker tyres) will you want a little rack on the back top carry stuff on? will you be pottering about SE22 mainly? there are quie a few hills so lighness of bike and more than 3 gears are quite important. If you are going to commute and leave it in the same paloce everyday for fixed time periods you will have to get good locks ( plural). Ther are some amazing lightweight bikes out there that cost over ?500 ( hah I mean ?5k) and some real tanks - some of the decathlon ones are so cheap but so heavy- ditto halfords). If you can try and borrow one from a friend for a day just to see.
  4. get HR or manager to issue a no - eating at your desks instruction company wide for health and safety reasons. then you can openly discuss what a good idea you think this is as people eating at desks can be noisy and off putting. this will air all your concerns before th no - eating is overturned- or maybe not?
  5. Dotty would be more appropriate !
  6. it was a non starter chaps. just a senior moment which has now passed ;)

  8. south of the river is more of a general magazine with houses for sale.
  9. sorry cant open it either
  10. I think gwod has a good point. It is one they start school that you often feel they need YOU more than anyone else.
  11. chocolate ( My most hated word is pantyhose by the way)
  12. that sounds fab-how musch is it? ( the web site idea)
  13. a ten pin bowling session
  14. guess what cmck 83, some of us have brought our own heaters into work! imagine that ( after a week without a boiler). we have spare ones at home in case of emergency and have leant them to our floor, as have the floor below us. just shows you what can be done with a will, anyone could have a similar plan, even a school.
  15. that might be the first weekend of half term- he had better be quick.
  16. I am afraid "When as an adult you tell a child off for doing something wrong, one can sometimes make a mistake and get it wrong, in such cases the other child will speak up for it's brother or sister" will not always apply- sometimes they dance up and down in delight - you are very lucky Dickensman.
  17. Well, in the commercial world, our office heating broke down last year and we bought back up fan and halogen heaters ( we already had some). The heating broke down 9 days ago, and the fan and halogen heaters have all been in use until this afternoon. This is called management and that is what business' do to protect themselves if they should arise. This is what headteachers and governors are for.
  18. maybe you can negotiate on savings on food/materials. may be if it was closed anyway, their fuel bills would be less too.
  19. yes,but do you answer specific questions on quadratic equations simonet? I think you should set out now what you are the master of. In fact shouldn't we all? (I am the master/mistress of quince jelly making BTW )
  20. My nephew did his work experience with the couoncil housing maintenace dept in Norfolk 3 years ago. Some tenants still kept their poultry in the house,he only lasted 3 days , but it was an eye opener- maybe it he had lasted the 2 weeks he might have met a donkey too?
  21. iggy pop, he makes me feel ill.
  22. I have posted things for sale and sold them quickly,and other times I get no response as my post is lost in a mass of postings. What time/ day do you think is the best time to post?
  23. Tony Benn(oh sorry I think he may have retired) but I wish they would not wheel him out all the time for commentary.
  24. can you help with quadratic equations??
