  1. There's one further down, Greg, near Elsie Road..
  2. good tip re quidco, thanks GG
  3. b&b definately.
  4. what the OP said. The Sun should sort themselves out; it is not a story and that poor woman should be left to grieve without the machiavellian political machinations of the tabloid press. GB is only ok but I don't think he's done anything wrong other than not spell check effectively. end of. edited for spelling - oh the irony!
  5. Tricia, this sounds awful; I hope you're okay? It could have happened to anyone. I pride myself on being a careful driver and would certainly have waited, too. Accidents are just that, accidents. Best wishes.
  6. "I may have the body of a weak and feeble woman... but I have the heart and stomach of a concrete elephant"
  7. what is all this research for, mr cooke? am intrigued!
  8. I've been propositioned twice now by men in cars - one by hsbc and one at texaco petrol station who was horrible to me(thanks by the way to the other man who checked I was okay after he'd gone, I really appreciated it; the forum was down at the time otherwsie would have posted sooner). May sound trivial but i was quite shaken up afer the second one. and no, i was not all dolled up at either time - was on way back from gym.
  9. Slightly embarrassed but I ended up having a bigger night out than ususal last Friday (30th). A good time was had by all but I came home minus a coat (even though it was freezing!). It is a light summer navy jacket with buttons and a tie round the waist, from Oasis. It could have been left in Liquorish, Boho, Black Cherry, Bishop, Green and blue, EDT, Vale or *cough* Adventure (my friend wanted to go there!). It was my favouite and they don't do them anymore, so if someone saw it, please let me know. Cheers.
  10. I guess it makes me feel scared of what people can be capable of. Obviously the crimes are horrific, but they are comitted by an individual - and possibly a mentally ill individual at that. The cold, organised, calm approach to not only killing someone but in such a harsh, public way really bothers me. Not that the electric chair and trigger happy US Governors don't also bother me, but it isn't a public event. I also get very angry about the punishment system in the UK - which I can't see is any kind of deterrant at all. However many years people get put away for, it is accepted that they will be released in many less than that - even for rape and violent crime. Didn't one of the Baby P killers get his sentence overturned, recently? There must be some sort of happy medium, surely?? Anyway, if beheading were a proper deterrant, then the crimes would not still be being committed. In society, there will always be people who are deviant and do something if they think they will get away with it.
  11. Saudi Arabia story This makes me feel uncomfortable. Not that I don't think that the man has committed awful, terrible crimes, maybe not even about the death penalty (although I don't agree with that on principle) - perhaps the public manner in which it will happen? I understand that people believe that punishments such as these are just and act as a good deterrant. So, what is the issue? the death penalty? the method chosen? the public aspect? still not sure... Would be interested in hearing your views...
  12. Cheers guys and have a great hol. bring me back a stuffed donkey/glow-in-the-dark deity/pornographic playing cards/amusing hat/bottle of toxic alcohol to put in the cupboard with the undrunk Ouzo
  13. nah - I think we'd all do an 'at home with' en masse round at BBW's lair.
  14. EDF on the news - couldn't believe my eyes! This is it now: first come the journalists, then the invitations to premieres, falling out of west end nightclubs, footballer boyfriend and the inevitable 'OK' covers.
  15. Alabama

    X Factor

    John and Edward are repellant but hopefully they'll get voted off in the first week. If they turn out to be popular then I will emigrate.

  17. Naive all the way!
  18. But we have already been defined, categorised and packaged up for the world's commercial companies to effectively target us, the poor, superficial lemmings that we are. Have you seen the ACORN rating for your street? Each individual UK postcode has been given an ACORN rating followed by an amusing/patronising review. Hours of fun! find out your ACORN rating N.B this isn't mystreet - just for purely research purposes! "People are generally younger, typically under 40. There are some single parents, but most households comprise single people renting and sharing flats or terraced houses. The accommodation is small, often only one or two bedrooms. Around 35% of the population is black or Asian. Both minorities occur in broadly equal proportion across this type. The level of education is above average, and jobs tend to be managerial or clerical. Levels of students, people working in the Public Sector and unemployment are all somewhat above the national average. These people do not need cars given their urban lifestyles. Instead, they will get about by walking and using public transport. They tend to go to coffee shops, and lunch in pubs or restaurants on a regular basis. They may also spend time in an art gallery or going to the theatre. Relatively high numbers have cable TV and DVD players. Reading, and sometimes religious activity also play a part in their leisure activities. They have some interest in current affairs and might be readers of The Guardian, Observer or Independent. Increasingly they will use new technology such as telephone, PC and mobile phone for banking purposes. Many would like to upgrade to gold and platinum credit cards. More realistically, others are planning to pay off their debt."
  19. as there's been so many recently - do the police have any evidence to catch the little feckers?
  20. I second Ted Max - but although he is a lyrical wordsmith, he could well have a squeaky Beckham-esque range...
