...Big Brother AT ALL, Mockers.


Whenever I have watched an episode it was just mind-numbingly dull 'discussions' involving people not listening to each other. The only interesting stuff comes from the conflict, and then you get the uncomfortable feeling of colluding in the psychological manipulation of clearly unstable fame nuts. Bleugh.

I don't get what it is about hot weather that makes office workers entirely abandon any sense of how to dress.


Men - ignore the change in temperature and remain in winter suits, double-cuffed shirts, etc. Result = sweaty and red-faced.


Women - dive into spaghetti-strap tops and cotton skirts. Er - you're not actually on holiday, which presumably is why you haven't had time to prep your legs for the exposure they're currently undergoing...


You wouldn't see this in Italy or Australia, where they understand the concept of wearing clothes appropriate to hot weather that don't reveal bits of skin that really should be kept for the beach. Tch.

Couldn't agree more with BB, but I love The Apprentice. I know I know, it's just x-factor / fame academy / jungle thing with a business twist, but I think it's just so funny, whereas none of the others are!


X-Factor makes people laugh because they laugh at poor disillusioned people who have been told by cruel friends that they have musical talent. I think that's just mean.


Apprentice is full of people that will tell you again and again how good they are, and it is great fun watching them fail!!!


That said, I did say to Mrs Mockney last year that I could see her ripping through the opposition and winning it! >:D<

I suggest you both make a start by not calling her that - last time I did that I barely survived...


Quite right too.

It's outrageously insulting to call her Mrs Mockney.


She should, of course, be referred to as either The Future Mrs Mockney Piers or Mr Mockney Pier's intended, betrothed or fiancee.


Mrs Bignumber5 ;-)

    • Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious
    • Yes, they are intelligent ❤️ Various methods of deterring the foxes (aka stopping them coming and crapping on your lawn) have been suggested in this thread. If you don't want to try them, and prefer to keep clearing up the crap and complaining about it, well that's YOUR choice 🙄
    • Weather going to be hot from today thru to weekend so I hope all dog owners walk their pooches early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. Woofers can survive the odd day without going for walkies in the heat or having to race around with their pack in the heat. Try brain games with them around the house - hid treats for them to find, given them a kong..  Mental stimulation is as good and beneficial as walkies and does tire them out.     And whilst on the subject of heat and dogs, do remember that leaving a couple of windows open while you run into a shop etc to get groceries etc …. Is not good enough / the inside of a car obviously gets very very hot… and one could be delayed in ship, thru no fault of your own - meanwhile, your woofer is suffering.  Common sense really and if you are a new owner, probably really never thought it through ie walking dogs in heat or leaving them in car in heat. The majority of people on this site are caring, supportive people only offering advice, expressing concern when they see stupidity.  
    • Weirdly (well, weird as it happened very shortly after I had posted that) I got a notice the other day (the first time in the near enough twenty years since I joined the forum) telling me I had reached my limit of "reactions". I posted a screenshot on here. However I did not actually seem be prevented  from  making any more!   What is your purpose in doing that? This is a useful, long running and well loved (by me, anyway) local forum. It provides information on matters of local interest, an opportunity to easily sell or give away  unwanted things and buy or be given things you want, information on upcoming local events and interest groups. It is also a well moderated place to discuss both local and wider issues. And it is used by a variety of different kinds of people, as would be expected - we all have different personalities, experiences and opinions, and that's part of what makes the forum such a great local asset. Since rescuing the forum when the previous admin left - it could have disappeared altogether - Joe has put and continues to put an enormous amount of work into setting it up on a different platform (?) , maintaining it, and keeping it a safe and pleasant place for everyone using it. I'm sure you and others will correct me if I'm wrong, but it feels to me that dissecting "posters and their patterns" in the way you describe - presumably then to post the results on here?  - is just going to sow seeds of discord which could stop some people posting altogether and generally change the whole nature of the forum. I think that would be very sad, and I hope that that isn't your intention? Are you going to include your own posts in this? You have joined the forum relatively recently, and seem to be self-described as a "Pain".
