I keep bees. Its my first year and am waiting for the weather to improve and hoping they survived the winter. Give me a ring, will PM my number.

You can still post from the US

Rose, How wonderfully honest of you. CBT at the Maudsley helped my daughter through a big crisis. Cheers Chick

Dear LM, go to Stapleford air port, hire a Firefly light air craft with an instructor and go and do some aerobatics. You?ll never forget the experience. Cost about ?80.00 for 20 minutes. http://www.flyingpresents.co.uk/fpsite/department.php?DepartmentID=23

Whats a "wokman"?

Mostly nasty and uncalled for.

.

Thanks Pete.

MM where is this store?

What exactly do you mean by "smack"? Thrashings from the SVDP brothers or vicious nuns in Ireland? A smack on the back of the hand? The cane or slipper from a school teacher, a leather belt across the hand in Scotland?

No its not sad, who's round is ti? Hic

All the grit the council didn't bother putting on the snow & ice.

Why do you mention Picts and Scots in the same post as midgets & dwarves? Have you been watching too much Lord Of The Rings? I think you are a closet "heightist" and probably think Scots are short mean people who despite being short can?t reach the bottom of their pockets. Shame, shame. Hoots.

And big thanks to the woman who was gritting the road at the junction of Honor Oak Rd and Forrest Hill Rd. last night. more than the local authority were doing.

Dear legal, have considered professional help? Sounds like a classic example of OCD. Or maybe you were an only child?

Edited for being a grumpy poo. Happy crimbo everybody.

And your bee's.

Dear Townley, thanks for your helpful advice, but I was actually wondering if woof had seen any northern lights. Though I am looking forward to very long days etc. Hoots Townleygreen Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Dear Chick > I don't think there's much of a chance of seeing > the Northern Lights (aka Aurora Borealis) in > August! > You need cold weather I believe. > I saw them in iceland in late October back in > 2005. > Quite a sight I must say. > You can also see them in Scotland. > But definitely not in August!!

Woof, sounds great. How cold is it? I also wondered about northern lights. My missus wants to go to Reykjavik and has proposed to take me on my next birthday, I was reluctant at first but am warming to the idea, next August. What other foods, beer etc and how expensive. Is it expensive in general? Keep posting, especially about the flight, any pictures? Good luck and enjoy the darkness. Chick

Forgive my ignorance!

The only reason I thought it might be a bit USA was the reference to"911" Don?t know if they had Woolworths in the USA, it could just as easily be London.

How do these people survive? ONE Recently, when I went to McDonald's I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets. I asked for a half dozen nuggets. 'We don't have half dozen nuggets,' said the teenager at the counter. 'You don't?' I replied. 'We only have six, nine, or twelve,' was the reply. 'So I can't order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?' 'That's right.' So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets (Unbelievable but sadly true...) TWO I was checking out at the local Woolworths with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up one of those 'dividers' that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn't get mixed. After the girl had scanned all of my items, she picked up the 'divider', looking it all over for the bar code so she could scan it. Not finding the bar code, she said to me, 'Do you know how much this is?' I said to her 'I've changed my mind; I don't think I'll buy that today.' She said 'OK,' and I paid her for the things and left. She had no clue to what had just happened. THREE A woman at work was seen putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. When I inquired as to what she was doing, she said she was shopping on the Internet and they kept asking for a credit card number, so she was using the ATM 'thingy.' (keep shuddering!!) FOUR I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. 'Do you need some help?' I asked. She replied, 'I knew I! should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?' 'Hmmm, I don't know. Do you have an alarm, too?' I asked. 'No, just this remote thingy,' she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I replied, 'Why don't you drive over there and check about the batteries. It's a long walk....' PLEASE just lay down before you hurt yourself !!! FIVE Several years ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, 'I'm almost out of typing paper. What do I do?' 'Just use paper from the photocopier', the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five 'blank' copies. Brunette, by the way!! SIX A mother calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if she needs to take her kid to the emergency room, the kid had eaten ants. The dispatcher tells her to give the kid some Benadryl and he should be fine, the mother says, 'I just gave him some ant killer......' Dispatcher: 'Rush him in to emergency!' Life is tough. It's even tougher if you're stupid!!!!
