I think of it as a management tool. Happy to report it works all the way up to CEO level.

Talking of U2, Bono is one of the biggest hypocrites around. He chides governments for not spending more on relief of poverty, while he and his chums avoid tax on a big scale.


Bono, where do you think that governments get their money from so that they can spend more on poverty relief? From taxation, that's where.

Hey. I started that thread and if I'm brain dead, well that's my right. Over to you to start an intellectually stimulating thread.........

The Nights are drawing in.

The Weather has turned cold..


The EDT has turned on Their Fires and cranked up the heating.


LOVELY..


Then you get a couple of Selfish Gits that pull over a table and two stalls

and sit with their Ar**s in the flames so no one can see the fire or feel the benefit.

Posts in the wrong thread, particularly what are clearly ads. I sometimes report them to Admin but not sure this is being enforced much. This week seems to be mainly events. Suppose it makes a change from the endless 'research opportunities' and me-too TV/media idiots looking for people to mock.

People who don't say "excuse me" or make any polite request when they need you to move, usually on the bus or train. They just shift around, give you a hard stare or trample you. What is wrong with asking? You're not going to burst into flames if you speak to another person in public you know!


Myself, for responding to their fidgeting in lieu of a polite verbal request to get out of their way. I wish I could just sit and stare ahead of me and remain resolutely in their way until they are forced to actually ask. But I am far too polite (and English) for that. I shall have to get some blinkers for wearing on public transport. And then I get annoyed that they don't say thank you when I do move... grrr!

    • 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.          
    • 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.
