You just beat me to it - I would rather have a kind and practical partner than one who was in quantum physics but was in a world of their own (as long as they could actually read.........)

Tonight I'm all alone and broken hearted

A love we knew I never shall forget

And tell myself that lonely night we parted

I got a lifetime to regret.


They tell me you are happy with another

And I wonder if my memory lingers yet

The things I said the night we said goodbye, dear

Oh, I got a lifetime to regret.


If we could just erase the mistakes we made, dear

I'm sure we could find happy moments yet

But we can't change the past and I'm afraid, dear

That I got a lifetime to regret.


I know down in my heart that I'm forgivin'

'Cause I'm just like the fish caught in a net

I know true love is what made my life worth livin'

I got a lifetime to regret...

I don?t know so much. If it is raining, common sense says that I should go inside. But sitting inside is boring unless I have something to think about. Like, where the rain comes from perhaps or what is rain or if there is water in the air all the time anyway is it really raining or is that just my opinion of our current position on the sliding scale of the air?s wetness.


If this world was all about common sense we wouldn?t have anything interesting to talk about.


Anyway back to regrets, Well I've had a few

But then again

To few to mention


(Apologies if that has already bee done a gazillion times but I?m not reading back over this whole thread to check)

Like many others here, I have few regrets in life - I've made millions of mistakes, and will doubtless make a million more, but ultimately I have learnt to be kind to myself and that includes forgiving myself when I f**k up.But since you ask...


I regret using my sharp tongue at times, particularly towards my ex, particularly when it was a result of frustration at myself rather than any misdoing on his part.


I regret leaving theatre publishing quite so dramatically (but darlings it was theatre what else could one do?) and feel blessed that despite my sniping, my boss remains a close friend to this day.


I regret not persevering with learning to play the piano.


Gosh what's that? Three Hail Marys and an Our Father? Sure thing Father Ill throw in a rosary too if you like... never regretted leaving Catholicism behind...

Okies I guess I should put mine in...


1. Regret not taking things into my own hands and smacked the biatch rather than doing things the proper way with "procedures" and all that... darn took 2 yrs of stress and anger to sort it out but still had to do all the hard work to win.


2. Like many others on here, I regret wasting time in not telling that special someone how I felt when the time was right to present itself...


3. erm... not taking up the violin... I wouldve been damn good if all my other talents r to go by ;-)

OMG! I think I'm in love! Hey Lush, are you the guy with the lovely bushy beard in the photos of the EDF drinks night? Is there a Mrs Lush? hehe ;-)

Oh my God, what have I started. Dear LizzygotDizzy. No. I'm the devil with the tinted glasses and the silly grin. And there is no Mrs Lush. I wouldn't say I'm up for grabs but I'm open to offers. Canada? Never been there and I must say I'm tempted but regretfully I don't think I'll be able to get the time off. Time off for good behaviour that is.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
