Clare, I hava a Baxi Boiler. They do an insurance type scam which I had to take up recently. Annual charge of ?229 paid in monthly instalments and it covers the cost of any repair, parts and a new boiler if that is necessary. I think that compared to the hassle of finding and then paying exorbitant fees it kind of works out better for the cash flow. The only problem is it does not cover a service but I think you can pay a bit more and the plan does include an annual service.

I think Mothering Sunday appears in the bible somewhere. What is wrong with showing some appreciation - a bunch of flowers doesn't take much effort and is always nice to receive. We've had this argument before see the Valentine thread. PS - the reason we have chocolate eggs at Easter is because eggs were traditionally something given up for Lent. Easter marks the end of Lent, and hence the reason pancake day is the day before the beginning of Lent - use up all those eggs.

you've not got a hand in one of those entrys have you *Bob*?

I don't have middle class guilt, some people are f*ckwits and some aren't whatever 'class' they belong to. I am however a criminal fairly regularly, and it's not just those paperclips.

I would take the tongue out of your cheek moos, I agree with your sentiment. It's the usual inverted snobbery that people trot out on here. a) not all students are white or middle class and conversely not all white middle class young folks are students b) anyone can have a social conscience c) so what if she is a future partner of Goldman Sachs?

gawd, do people from Camberwell come here?

fast asleep, what a bore! I was in quite a big one in India years ago and it was a very strange experience.

25 years in London, SE17 & SE22. One incident about 12 years ago in SE17. Bit scary but no damage done in the end. No one I know here has had any bother.

Is it on tomorrow?

Does anyone have a copy of the media section? Really need the Middle East centre section.

Well, Alan. Mine or *Bob's*? I think we all know the answer really.

deja vu.....

DM what's NOCD? I'm sure that was a wind up, Iceland have her exclusive.

The Green Cuisine shop doesn't look crap in my opinion, it looks good. Can't vouch for the quality of the stuff as I've not patronised it yet but it does have Le Creuset in the window which obviously is top qual, whether it's cheaper than John Lewis is unlikely. It has been referred to as cookwank in a previous thread but if you like cooking and do a lot of it you'll know it is essential to have good quality tools. Meant to go in the other day to look for something specific but didn't get round to it.

I'm merely pointing out that 95% of the cars parked in my street are cars making unnecessary journeys, surely that's a subject of interest to you Sean? I know perfectly well that anyone can park in the street and nor do I particularly care who does park there (as long as I can get a space). DM I believe the school runs a coach service for children from the further flung reaches of London - Surrey etc, if more use was made of them the MS - shall we call them - would have more time for their manicures and high flying jobs in t'city.

I can assure you it is not residents, out of the approx 20 houses only about 5 have a car. The weekday parkers are mainly commuters and employees of the school. The school is a ten minute stroll from the nearest station and also has a bus stop outside the gates. If there was restricted parking it may encourage these car drivers to use public transport instead, or to get a bike.

I know exactly how much parking on my street is from outsiders. Weekends there are 2-3 cars, weekdays completely full. Possible picture evidence to follow....

Yes, I'm wondering if that is an authentic home made offering..... The first one definitely isn't!

Here's our offering and FYI we were just about to make one anyway!

Oh Jah! I'll bring my Reckless Eric 7" to the lucky 7s night shall I?

ok then, what if the dog has already done 3 dumps which have been picked up? Should the owner be carrying around a sack of bags? Anyway people could carry around bags with no intention of using them so you need to come up with another idea.

popping one in the machine now, back in 3hrs 34 mins with the result.

Exactly Cassius, but it's not so much the saying you don't like something that raises tensions - it's the going on and on about how much you don't like it. I don't like Iceland but I don't rant about it.

Just started the new Iain M Banks 'Matter' - any other sci fi fans out there?

what is the problem? It's a shop, it sells stuff, people buy it, GET OVER IT
