Well, I have a friend* whose boyfriend's sister scratches out the eyes on photographs of family members that have pissed her off in some way.


And its not as if the photos are ripped up and then thrown away either, oh no ... they stay hanging up on the wall or in photo frames with the missing eyes :-S




*its really not me

The house where-time-stands-still is just down the road from me.


I would give anything to have a tour of the place, but alas they are very private


Mind you not so private that, they close the curtains at night


Not so private that, you can't see years of christmas cards, easter cards all stuck to the walls, mounds of VHS tapes, clothes on hangers in every door way.


Not so private that, as you walk by (straining not to look too hard) their three ghostly faces are all lit by the flashing light of the TV and they sit waving out at you.


No scratched out eyes though, that's proper weird.


Thankfully, my lot here are just plain-old-fashioned-Odd-Balls


(I think)



Netts:-S

And then there's Nancy Mitford's 'Uncle Matthew', based on her father.


"Uncle Matthew, an eccentric, bullying patriarch who fills his drawers with scraps of paper bearing the names of those he hopes will die and periodically uses bloodhounds to hunt his children across the Oxfordshire countryside" http://www.enotes.com/topic/The_Pursuit_of_Love

    • Hello all,  If your child goes to this gym club: since the new payment system, have you received clear information about the cost per session, the cost per term and when sessions will be omitted eg for school opened days? (I have asked the club, more than once, no full response so far) This term started in late August, before school had gone back (did many attend that session?). Next term there is no break for half term, so there are 12 sessions to be paid. Does that seem to be more sessions than there used to be?    I am sure they are doing their best, but the info from the new auto pay system isn’t detailed enough, and the auto pay just takes an unspecified amount. I wondered if it’s just me (wanting more detail), or if there are others too? (my child loves the gym itself!) thanks 
    • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent service! We had one of Paul Edgley’ s team come to fit some new lights in our living room. They were able to come at reasonably short notice, arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did a great job. Everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the lights look fantastic. Highly recommend! Paul’s contact details are 07802 627967  
    • For Plusnet, I pay £31.99 for Full Fibre 500.  (the number is the line speed you have paid for) I have recently recontracted.  Always phone them up, and ask what deal they can do for me.  Usually get a decent reduction.  Sue, I would suggest you call them, especially if you are close to contract renewal.  Sometimes they will change deals mid-contract, as I have found in the past.
