I WILL, I WILL!

OK stop searching.

This is the answer.

A bike ride round London or place of your choice for 3 hours or so...

Don't worry, I am happily married and won't run off with him.

Well, probably...


Seriously, PM me.

Lyndsey. Forget cooking classes and hot air ballooning, both can be incredibly dangerous. I work in heavy civil engineering and demolition and for the right price I could allow your man to drive something along the lines of this:

Can you imagine the look on the faces of the staff at Foxtons if they saw that wheel bearing down on them, worth every penny.

hi L83,


how about trying a driving day on a track, a so-called "track-day".


?100-?200 of your finest pounds will get him a ferrari to race around in. I imagine you would be much respoected for it. (so long as you dont go along to laugh...)




thats my 10c

Paintballing...not. He'll hate you forever. It's only something that works in a comedy series.

'Spaced' for instance.

In real life it's red team - MONUMENTAL W@NKERS vs yellow team - APPALLING CUNTBOLLOXES.

I'd give it a swerve, were I you.

I once saw am experienced Navy pilot try to eject from a Phantom simulator - he'd misjudged the height of a church spire on coming in to a simulated landing.

I wanted to book something like that for my dad, but the only ones I could find were ?250 or over. Do you know where you can do one for more like ?100?

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.

      does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
