I love a bit of Jones. She is an attention whore (well, probably like most media celebs TBH) and must be hell to live/work with but she makes me laugh with her outspokenness.

Although I accept that we all have our political leanings, I tend to steer clear of people who froth, rabidly at the mouth at the mention of any particular mainstream newspaper - polarised and entrenched views don't normally allow for balanced and informed conversations.

Couldn't have put it better myself

the DM are not stupid - they know that the under 45s would not be seen dead with a hard copy of their rag, but have tailored their site to appeal to the younger set - and IIRC, it has overtaken the New York Times in the online readership league now. The online version is heavy on paparazzi type gossip, the hard copy less so. Reading the online version is an entry point for the interweb generation & the brain dead grazers - before they know it, they are calling for abu whatever to be executed by hanging in trafalgar square, dole cheats to be castrated and massed bleating about leylaandi hedges. Dont do the Mail in any form - you will crave more and more

    • Thanks. I dropped off the books that I thought would be most helpful for them already this week.  Thanks for the advice. I have advertised the ones that may be of use for studies on this forum then dropped off some at Oxfam in Herne Hill and others at the Bell End House book exchange. Still a few more to drop which I will likely give to Mind on LL who I like.
    • I wouldn't undervalue your expertise Bob.  When I occasionally have professionals around they always thank me for advice and don't mind the work taking twice the time.  One offered to treat me with an old fashioned sixpence to go to the flicks and go away.  Although even the Plex isn't that cheap.
    • St Christopher's on LL I'd list them for free as well on this website.
    • I've got noisy neighbours.  Some are always cutting wood and metal over the weekend and into the summer evenings using mitre saws, angle grinders and the like.  Breaking up concrete with Kangos.  Getting concrete poured or skips changed at 7 in the morning. And then there are those to lazy (they say they are busy) to cut their lawns and hedges cut, so rather than using quieter electric mowers etc the professional do it with motor mowers and electric strimmers.  Then there are the BBQs and outdoor parties, with the loud music and conversations, or the kids' parties the worst culprit has a pool so in warm weather kids swarm round there.  There are noise controls for building work and big DIY projects, but many don't adhere to them.  So much for good neighbours.
