well it doesn't involve shopping, that's for certain.
Could I have breakfast in bed, cooked and brought by nigella, shared with Kylie and Sharon Stone (and they'd have had me for breakfast first) and then............. back to reality. Ok, 5 minute later I'd like smoked salmon and scrambled egg on brioche, good fresh coffee, good company and a leisurely day at the beach at southwold. Any time of year!
With sharon stone of course. Or Kylie.
And Kylie.

privatisation!
Remember when companies were nationalised? That meant we owned them. Then the blue rinsed bitch came up with this idea that we should all profit from owning something we already owned and she sold us gas, electric, railways, water.......... And we paid money for what we already owned and some sad sods now complain that the service isn't any use any more. And some people are saying 'why don't we take back these companies into national ownership?' Except these companies are now owned by the french, the spanish, the germans............ it's not theft, it's the bloody tories.
Ok, apologies to all. Not supposed to be a political rant, just to make people think.

thanks foxy, now I feel really useless! The prize however, without any favouritism or prejudice, goes to the clearly intelligent being suggesting the beer.
Next weekends test will be 'how to get out of the bullring expedition when there's a rugby world cup match contesting the same time slot'. Of course the decision of the adjudicator (me) is final.

sad to say that I recommend the tefal chappy here. Big bits of bread no problem. The nice man at john lewis sold me it when I wanted something nice and stylish instead. Persuaded me that function is more important than form sometimes, and it's cheap too!
Oh god, this is not the way to spend sunday afternoon. Recommending electric toasters. I think I need a drink. Gin. Lots and lots of gin. Now.

well that post has certainly managed to put up some interesting viewpoints! To be able to sit and check how many views, posts etc. a member has put up seems to me to indicate something anyway. Perhaps a lack of a life? On the other hand it could be that the responder has really thought about the subject!
My view, and I'm also one of those that doesn't get that involved so don't have the numeric involvement, is that the original poster is round the bend! It's a well put forward view, nicely put in all ways. Hard really to find fault with the way the piece is written.
There's one issue with it though that I find hard to agree with. It's just wrong.

'je regrette rien!'. I thought about this initial post, brilliant idea, and then wondered what I'd change. Thing is that whatever I'd choose to do differently had consequences that I wouldn't want to happen. I'd love to have done a postgrad course, but if I had wouldn't have ended up with the family, had children etc.
Can I just cut down the booze intake? My wine bill would pay for a bentley within a year.

A pedant is a person who is overly concerned with formalism and precision, or who makes a show of his learning (yes, I did get that directly from wikipedia).
As I get older I'm becoming less tolerant with textspeak. Or Wogan (beyond criticism normally) picking on people who say "where are you sat?" instead of "sitting".
So what gets your goat?

two nones here. you need a poll and set it against some data held by the government.
That will prove it one way or another.
love this one, as a quite sad government statistical freek I have to say that as far as I'm aware we've never collected any data on wether citizens of this country are swingers or not!
Memo to gordon?
For me there's a couple of issues here. No way could I look at a woman the age of my daughter. It's creepy.
On the other hand age is just a number, there's fantastic women out there over 50 and also some shocking under 30 (and all ages in between). Looking good for an age is an insult because it implies that if that person was a few years younger they'd be bloody rough!
You either look good or you don't.

Sorry but I think it is getting a bit embarrassing that John Sergeant is still getting through.
Thought it was a blast to start with but there are some quite good dancers not getting through because of him.
Having said that I'm delighted that the smug Cherie Lunghi didn't get through this week.
Charisma Rules!!!!!
.
charisma rules exactly! That's why sergeant is still there. It's about time those idiotic judges realised it's not just about dancing.

people who insist on parking their car on the pavement so i have to push my wheelchair user residents into the road to get round them.
should i really admit that; after asking one particular person several times to put their car on the road, when they didn't they may have found that their wing mirror was hanging off where i had had to push soooo closely to it to get past?
oh well

phone/email (or whatever) the police. It's an offence to cause an obstruction and unless a complaint is made nothing will happen. If the police don't initially do anything then complain to the duty inspector.
Where I live it happens, and then the owners of these cars also complain that traffic is going too fast and it's not safe for their children to be out playing. If these idiots parked fully on the road then wouldn't the cars have to slow down?
but who do you sack? The police were involved on more than one occasion, as were doctors at a hospital and the local gp surgery, and of course social and health workers.
Social workers don't have a right of entry into a premises and, despite popular urban myth, don't have the ability to take children away without court intervention.

I must have missed the bit about blaming the conservatives. There's some very clear facts about this and why don't people just take a look for themselves.
Thatcher sold nationalised industries and we, the public, paid for what we already owned. Wow, what a brilliant idea that one was. Then she gave huge tax cuts to the rich. Then she improved salaries and pensions for members of parliament. Wasn't it her that changed the link for pensions? Which government brought in fees for education yet were happy to have grants themselves? Prescription charges shot up since 1979, and winter fuel payments were almost criminal in the way they were administered.
Anyway, back to bank charges. Has anyone seen the interest rates that Argos are charging? It's over 200%
was it the labour party that abolished credit controls and caused this screw up? Item below is copied.
In 1973, Heath (conservative) suspended Competition and Credit Control.
When Labour came back into power, inheriting Heath’s inflation, James Callaghan (labour pm) went to the IMF and borrowed money to defend the value of the pound, which by this time had taken a hammering. This they did. They also brought down inflation without causing a recession. The electorate thanked the Callaghan government by turfing them out of office and putting Thatcher into No. 10.
The nightmare began. Thatcher came in to power with the intention of bringing down inflation through controlling the money supply. Raising interest rates would do this. This would create a recession, but the long-term benefits would out-weigh the short-term cost, and if the manufacturing industry would bear the brunt of the recession, so be it. She didn’t care. Manufacturing was old hat. Manufacturing was also the base for the craft unions and where support for Labour lay. Who cared about them? Emphasis shifted away from manufacturing and towards finance, a shift that was to be financed by North Sea Oil. The City of London captured the imagination of the Conservative Party, and in time, the Labour Party as well. As a result, Britain’s manufacturing base was reduced to almost nothing. Northern England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland wallow in depression while the economy in the South East of England, where the financial industry resides, continually overheats.
This is a world recession, don't blame this government.
Just for how long will Labour blame their screw-ups on the Conservatives?

Yeah - what a great idea that was. Lower interest rates. Don't bother making sure the banks pass the cuts on to people with mortgages. They (the banks) were quick enough to cut savings rates in line (less than 24 hours) tho and screw those of us trying to save over.
Labour - the biggest fuck up of the 21st century

Thanks for the advice,
It has been ignored.
Where does the OP state she is in trouble?
And here was me thinking it may have been a subject for discussion.
Well said.
Why bail out people that have taken risks? Dear Thatcher encouraged rampant consumerism, removed exchange controls and caused nearly two decades of misery. T
he benefits system will help eventually, but a person should seek independent advice in this, the CAB or similar and not run to one of the leech-like fee paying services frequently advertised on channel 4 and the like.
