Nah! They are going to recycle him into 10,000 Tesco carrier bags.
So he’ll still be bleached white and dangerous to children?

“that’s bad”

They can finish rest of the cremation on him now.

I shall NOT be taking a radio to the Lakes.

Anyone whose best mate is that Spoon Bending Idiot Geller cannot be a full load.

RDs – ah the smell of a stroker, you gotta love em

Going to hide in the Lakes for the weekend – usable toilets, big campervan bed and more than likely to return with everything I took with me!
But, I will be listening out for Crazy P whose lead singer I met on the train back from London last night – top girl and good music too!
As long as I don;t have to see or hear Jo Whiney I shall be ok.

Black eye & split lip – chopping back Rhododendrons copped a branch in the face, they are sentient a tell you.

Tell them you face butted an oncoming truck to divert it away from a cute kitten right in its path.

Always a mystery, what they may have tucked away amongst the rolls and folds?

there are lots of sites that let you create a site online, for personal stuff many of the blogging sites will provide sufficient functionality to allow you to build it and style it as you go – kinda learn on the job stuff.

Have tried tracing my dad but he won’t lie still.

(Coat on and out of the door)

Alpin has hit the button, so to speak!!
An old hooker’s trick to move clients along if they were taking a little too long.
Just make sure she removes her bling rings and trims her nails – embarrassing in casualty otherwise.

As I was readind the title, the first thought to my mind was “this is going to be the septic military” – Bingo I win first prize.
They should not be left in charge of sharp sticks, never mind nukes!!

Yes, I want to meet that cooker with a truncheon.

Well at least they are a lot better now!!!

In the woods at 6000ft by the Tsijoure Nouve Glacier, Arolla, Switzerland.
Had to take small entrenching tool to scrape a dip in the thin topsoil.
Hole scraped, squatted over it and got down to business.
About 30 seconds in and I hear “Guten morgen” from my left and a party of 8 German climbers passed me on a path no more that 15ft away.
Nothing to do but finish the task and then cover the hole.
Because the topsoil was so thin we had agreed to put a rock on top so the area around camp did not become an open cesspit.
Now, if you drop a rock onto a neatly piled and moist “george” the rapidly descending weight tends to force most of the volume of the “george” out sideways at quite a velocity.
So, we developed the technique of jumping just as the rock landed.
After a time you could tell where we had been by the surrounding trees and rock having a thin brown topcoat.

(we were working up there for 3 months after month 1 we had to walk miles to find a stone that was not covering a little treat!)

Hell’s teeth Ernie – where did you find that forum.
Lovely people on there!! 😯

“want to save some tax?”

Neoprene is inherently stretchy so as CK said – suck it in – a wetsuit is one of the least flattering bits of kit if you have some extra “rolls”, unless this is the look you are after?

You could try wearing a men’s corset underneath if you are really worried.

Oh and don’t holiday in Iceland or Japan!

up till 1,30am doing the post holiday ironing – do not get a cheap iron from Argos!
Was only saved by Minority Report.

The banks also have business planning guides but evidence suggests they could be flawed!
Use the B’link but be careful not to get sucked into their “planning mantra” or you’ll be writing plans for ever and forget to run your business!!

But he is an Mechanical Engineer?

No he’s not!

“James Daniel May was born on January 16, 1963 in Bristol, England. He went to Oakwood Comprehensive School and graduated from Lancaster University with a degree in Music.”

Quite nice when I was there last summer. Silly arse.

there’s an ettiquette?

Great thread.

A great impression was made on me in the mid 80’s.
In my first job I went to London with my boss.
Chap came up and asked for money.
My boss said he didn’t have any cash but had a credit card and would happily take the chap for breakfast with us in the cafe we were heading towards.
The chap then roundly abused us both for several minutes before stomping off.
It has never stopped me giving money but does make me wonder.
Could have been me if things had turned out differently.
May yet be me someday as my pension is now knackered.

I always buy the Big Issue and pay a couple of quid at least.
Make the boys go and buy it from the chap in Bakewell by the Co-op.
He always seems happy to see them and chats to them.
Seems a positive way to help.

I just try to keep in mind the words of the Dalai Lama when asked how we resolve the world’s ill: “We just need to be kind to one another”
Those and the ones of God (Morgan Freeman) in that intellectually classic film Evan Almighty: “one random act of kiness at a time”.

Jacket with sleeves that buckle up the back time, methinks.
So, as you can’t ride with one on, can I have your bike?

Crikey – was that a pic of Ivan Mauger in his heyday?

“Remember you said that you would…”

or stay indoors

Nice to see quality drama and good acting instead of reality brain death TV.
Won’t do much for the Army’s recruitment campaign though.

Love the idea of each home having a turbine.
So much so I applied to Peak Park Planning Authority to put a small turbine next to my chimney (we are on top of a hill and get a strong SW wind most days) and citing their green agenda.
Response – it is not in keeping with the local built environment.
Thinking positively, when we are all dead at least the Peak District will look nice.
Well except for Lafarge cement works (the manufacture of which is the single worst environmental industrial process), Longcliffe calcium carbonate manufacturing, various quarrying firms and buildings such as the trendy apartments in Hathersage.
Arseholes the lot of them.

Old Speckled Hen increases the distance from the pub to your front door.
Took me ages to get there.

depends where you live?
Doh! too slow.

The Long Minge

Jamie – DF – you’ll need help to do that.
Otherwise brilliant.
Sicker than LoG and as funny.

slagtag??

Write to your local Kingdom Hall posing as your neighbours and tell them that you want to be saved. That’ll keep them busy for a bit.

Flange – one complaint will not resolve this.
Go back to the school, ask to see their complaints procedure.
If they refuse, go to the governors, if the do check what should have happened, get the head to confirm that it did happen.
If the bullying continues complain again and check the outcome – if nothing raise it with the governors and ask for a formal response.
If it continues go to the LEA and report exactly what has happened.
The LEA will take this seriously, the threat to go to the LEA should get a response.
Don’t ever tackle a child directly and record what you did and when.
Can send you a sample complaints procedure if that may help.

Grumm – I think you are viewing the word liberal too narrowly.
Having just come back from Crete I would suggest that children there are allowed more freedom but, if high spirits starts to cross the line of what an adult thinks is acceptable, a sharp word from an adult of any age seemed to calm them down without the tirade of abuse it would engender here.

European countries still have the family as the centre of their society, grandparents are cared for and respected rather than reviled and mocked. The have better social cohesion so values remain consistent. We have managed to destroy the family as the centre of society (Thatcher’s fault again!) through large scale unemployment, mobility of workforce separating extended families etc etc.

Our version of liberalism towards children is “let them do as they will until it is so serious we haev to lock them up and criminalise them”, perhaps if the guidelines were applied more firmly and earlier the problem would not arise.

zone alarm

CFH – nice side step.
I shall rephrase my original question, is there something of an obsession building here?
Do you have pictures of her on your wall/computer/screensaver?

hora – Member
We all might laugh. One ride, fall, bump on head and we could be the same as these nutters.

And when I do, I hope people speak as fondly of me as most have on here about others.

CFH – looking back at previous A&A threads, Emily Batty is a recurring theme in your posts – is there a confession lurking somewhere?

She also seems to have a problem getting her lips to meet!
