> Learn how to ride a bike


giggirl, Southwark Council were funding free cycling lessons a while back (they may still)...check them out...before the dosh runs out. Otherwise...just buy a bike and teach yourself...I did... at the grand old age of about 30! Or take up PGC's offer. There's nothing to it. Good Luck xxx

To play the piano like the guy in B Bumble and the Stingers 'Nut Rocker',


and the banjo as good as the weird geezer in 'Deliverance'....


Having a twenty eight inch waist and 6' 3" tall.


Seeing the Northern lights.


Experiencing a glockenspectre.


Discovering a pair of Peregrine falcons nesting in the garden.


Being fluent in Mandarin, Russian, German, French, Spanish, Arabic and Glaswegian.


Knowing and understanding the complete works of Shakespear.


Receiving something good from a brown envelope.


Spending an evening with Peter Ustinov, Charles Dickens and Ho Chi Min.


Find a soul mate whilst I can still do it.

It's me Steve....


It's me you're looking for ( cue music )


We have so much in common ( do you use Largactil too ? )


What about gout & flat feet ?

Oh my goodness...just seen all of this...


Ruffers, my apologies, I too didn't see the bit about tickets in your post...did you add it as an edit? only I haven't had a chance to go back until now...but thanks very much for that.


And sandperson, equally to you...thanks very much for the link.


Last night I received a real surprise of a PM from another lovely forumite (Mr. X) who "knows a man who can get tickets"...there are no guarantees...but he is going to try for me - which is really kind. My fingers are crossed. But if his efforts lead to nothing, then I shall definitely try both your links. So MASSIVE thanks to all three of you. I am so so excited, it's unbelievable.

The Kop eh? Liverpool...the only serious rival to Man. U, in my opinion.;-) Now that would be some match...I may well take you up on your offer next season...thanks Annasfield. xx

*sniggers*

Apologies for completely going off the deep end this morning. Myself and the end of my tether have long since parted company, but that was no excuse to call anyone names. I just find that it's impossible to write anything with any degree of thought or sincerity on the forum these days, mired as it is in the puerile and snide.


As for my subsequent post, again, apologies. I should have said something at the time rather than just editing my original post, but HAL, your ebay sleuthing last week made me deeply deeply uncomfortable. BBW was roundly slated for similar facebook behaviour and I found it really creepy.

    • Thanks for posting this JMK we have had 3 children at Charter East so have been involved with the school from the very early days and have watched the impact of inconsistent, unsupportive and at worst unprofessional and biased management on them over the years. Individual teachers have at times been great and as JMK says it is the overall structure that creates a toxic and punitive atmosphere which directly impacts some families more than others and these are the kids overwhelmingly that have an SEN.  The experience of these families is night and day compared with the families with children that can cope in this system.  
    • Another recommendation for Lukasz, he sorted out our bifold door. He came at the agreed time, found the issue very quickly, adjusted it, all very carefully and with attention to detail. And he was very reasonably priced as well. 
    • Well sure someone will correct me but years ago, in Singapore and I was quite young so not sure if it is true. but if you were caught stealing, your little finger or just the  tip part with nail was chopped off.  Stigma for  life as all know that was punishment for stealing… no questions asked.Totally agree it is barbaric but equally putting people  into overcrowded prison for minor offences is also not right. Tagging I guess would not work or maybe does… no idea at all.  Not so long ago, heard a talk about how European’s cope/deal with prisoners and how the suggest rate is higher and offences lowered greatly as in not going back to prison for same  or another offence.  The general gist was their approach was each prisoner mattered , was heard and listens to and a suitable package was tailored towards their needs. Not  b one package for all. Not cooped up for the majority of the day - encouraged as an example to cook, garden, grow food, other household stuff  plus study if wanted for courses, languages etc. and mental health, dependency on substance abuse also addressed. Can’t remember if they were paid c pocket money which clearly accumulated or could be used to  I purchase whatever in prison. If they can do it by experimenting and I think but not sure, at the time an English prison was learning why can’t this sort of program be rolled  out throughout UK - cut backs not an excuse - think of the millions lost by govt during Covid…  Maybe it is - no experience in the matter at all.   
    • Why have things got so complicated? I suppose a cat flap with a timer might be useful for people out all day but can't really see the point of them when its so easy to flip a simple mechanical lock. This is how my last cat flap operated but had to be replaced when cat wearing cone of shame tried to escape and broke it. The cat flap I have now is one of those linked to cats microchip but even then there is just a four way dial which allows different kinds of access - or not. Not that cat is bothered, refuses to use it and demands i open the door for her. This is bit of a rant because along with a new boiler I got a new electronic programmer which is really annoying as it takes 5 minutes to change a simple temperature whereas with old programmer it took 10 seconds. Hope you get sorted @oglander and enjoy your future servitude to your feline master.
