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 that - none  of mine  have been Mordena - whilst vulnerable cat, think I will just take my chances… Will be having flu though - certainly not by choice - much prefer not to but in vulnerable group.. Avoided them until last year…. Luck of drawer if you are as sick as fog  or just sore arm … assume - god knows - that flu jab is same throughout country.       
    • Wow, that is what it costs for one prisoner. So they get full board and lodging, 24 hour  monitoring  in over populated prison, we are led to believe, minimum exercise, assume a tv in each cell provided - in USA it is together with wash hand basin and c toilet - some have showers as well.   Clearly this amount of money takes  into account overstretched and overworked prison officers, protection for them, counselling which is, in my opinion a bare minimum dealing with prisoners in all settings. Do if Sweden can look outside the box, why can’t we? Or are we just not bothered at all / read statistics some where that reoffending is normal and to be frank, with economy as it is at the moment re employment, cost of living and homelessness..not surprised they reoffend to get back inside - food provided, roof over your head - much better than street living, mixing with wrong crowd, trying to get roof over your head, find a job where 90 % won’t employ you as been inside..
    • @beansprout The Swedes seem to have a useful strategy with regard to offenders  which has reduced repeat offending.  I agree that prison time for minor offences is a complete waste of time. Even worse is that prisons are "colleges of crime" where inmates learn about how to be do crimes and worst of all, become exposed to drug taking. I wouldn't advocate having chain gangs as in the USA but some strategy for getting them into say manual work under supervision might be useful - especially if it came with a modest wag. This would be significantly cheaper than the £51,100 it costs per year for  keeping one in jail.
