Popped in today to see the guys I used to work for 9 years ago.
Partner 1 - his middle son was killed by a runaway lorry in Australia 5 years ago.

Partner 2 list his wife to breast cancer 3 years ago.

Partner 3 has just learnt that his youngest son, aged 26, has no more than 6 months to live!

Christ, life can be shooty sometimes.

How sad. Life is a lottery.

The sight of the cat carrier is enough to trigger a mass exodus here, I have to lock the cat-flap before I get it out of the cupboard.

[QUOTE 4799586, member: 9609"]I think it is only at manufacture/design stage they need to comply with emissions and noise levels, after that I think it is either a free-for-all or the legislation is not enforcible. (apart may be from central london where heavy plant has to comply with the LEZ rules, but I think (bit of a stab in the dark really) that only applies to stuff over 50 horse power? not really sure though) so I doubt that covers mini diggers[/QUOTE]

I live near the end of a cul de sac, so there are very few passing vehicles. I expect to feel fragile for a week or so, then gradually feel better.

Never really got the hang of marmalade

Keep trying. Toast isn't complete without it.

I promise to be gentle.....

Don't flatter yourself. You're not my type.

Relax, be yourself, listen. Enjoy.

I'll try to relax and listen. Too much being myself will cause not relaxing, you see.

I wasn't at the beginning. Remember the triangle of social ineptitude? But I'll be okay.

She is now 7 years old so a clean bill of health is a good thing.

Be yourself, you're the only self you are.

Morning. My wife has just come across a bit on FB that is funny and appears to be a warning about using a type of shower gel. You would think that they would put a warning sign on the label saying about other bits as well as eyes.

Why is it that whenever we try looking for the BBC 7 day quiz we end up with one that is out of date or one we have previously done?

It's Saturday afternoon, and I'm eagerly waiting for dinner. Bloody cycling: I'm always hungry...

I kept on forgetting the quiz so I've now put it in my Google calendar and I get email alerts to remind me that it's Friday. I then lie in wait for the thread to appear near the top of new posts. I'm not quite so organised with the answers though.
