Tell you what HAL, why don't you have a rummage about online and see if you can't find some evidence of me and life-threatening pastimes - I'm sure there's some out there (*sniggers*)


Or now that LM's expressed her disapproval on the subject of stalking, wouldn't that be allowed?

And I thought the bucket list was for things you'd like to do, not, not do!

I am at a loss as to what you could be getting at here. However, for the record, I do not believe I expressed disapproval on the subject of stalking. I contributed to LE's stalking thread giving my experience of being stalked at the age of 16. I did so because I wished to make the point that I did not find stalking/stalkers funny. This is very different to expressing disapproval on the subject. And please, be clear, I have absolutely no objection to LE's thread.

Apologies if this is a little base.....but I've always wanted a wild all nighter with two naked 20 something women in a 5 star suite, complete with jacuzzi, Stones on the stereo and chilled Dom Perignon on tap.


And yes, I reckon I'm still young enough to get away with that without it sounding creepy.

I logged in today at 5pm so missed whatever you wrote earlier.

You posted asking for opinions about a particular, easily identifiable eBay transaction. I don't feel I did anything wrong to look up that transaction - anyone could have done so. If that made you uncomfortable, I apologise.


If my sense of humour has offended you, I apologise for that too.

For what it's worth HAL9000, I don't believe you did anything wrong either.



> anyone could have done so.


And I am sure some probably did...only minus the subsequent openness and sincerity of expression.

Well, I'm really going for it...may as well...concentrate on being alive - as a dear forumite (you know who you are) recently suggested to me. Fortunately, as I already have the hubby of my dreams and some pretty amazing friends...I am in a good position to ask for lots of other stuff. So, being a greedy wotsit:


- see my friend Fran's breast cancer fully clear so that she may live a full and healthy life

- ditto my friend Verena who is currently in remission with myeloid leukaemia

- and also (gosh this certainly helps to put things into perspective) my friend Joan - also in remission with bone cancer

- see my sweet little niece Louise recover quickly from having been knocked down by a speeding car yesterday

- watch my nieces and nephews grow into happy and healthy adults and hope they will always call me Aunty Mimi

- hope that my brother's business expands so that life isn't quite as financially challenging as now

- hope that my sister can give up the booze before it kills her

- hope that hubby gets the job of his dreams

- ditto another forum buddy (I hope you know who you are)

- hope that, yet another forum-friend, achieves the "domestic bliss" he so desperately wishes

- hope that M's divorce is as painless as possible and that she finds happiness with a new partner quickly

- hope that the gap between rich and poor closes world-wide

- spend at least one month in Antartica and drink in its beauty

- learn how to swim in deep water

- learn Mandarin

- learn how to fish

- swim in a clean river and/or lake

- swim/play naked in the sea with hubby on a deserted beach

- see a puffin

- play in a women's football team and end up beating West Ham in the FA Cup final (just for you ????!);-)

    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant. 
    • Sadly, the price we now all pay for becoming a soft apologetic society.
    • Exactly the same thing happened to me a few years back; they were after my Brompton. Luckily there were only 3 of them so I managed to get away and got a woman to call the police, then they backed off, but not after having hit me in the back of the head first. Police said next time just give them what they want, but I sure as hell wasn't just going to hand over my bike to them!
    • In case anyone is renovating or stripping out an old kitchen, I am looking for a base kitchen unit or carcass to house an oven for a temporary set up kitchen.   Also looking for a run of worktop at least 180 cm long if anyone is disposing of something like this, I would be happy to collect.   thanks   Mila
