Lol, definitely not!

My grandson uses it occasionally but he is at work. Anyway, it would be more than his life was worth to meddle with this forum!

Yep, no idea how - I'm a techno-illiterate so its a complete mystery BUT it wasn't me!!

Don't know who this is but it sure ain't me (Real littleoldladysaint)!!

Does anybody else see the impending threat coming in from the North? Newcastle weren't exactly turning heads last year but you must feel with some of the signings they've made and they're looking to make they are solidifying a statement of intent for the top 8.

I think he was more exasperated than aggressive with the same old question being rephrased in the hope of a different answer (waxing/waning!).

Have done.

Thank you soooo much!

His wife will kill him stone dead!!

That's a really lovely piece Snopper - straight from the heart! I dug out an old poetry book yesterday which has one by Rudyard Kipling. "Why Give your Heart to a Dog to Tear". He must have been a real dog lover, he's written some lovely poems about them.

Hi Derry, Sincere condolences. We lost our old Newfie in identical circumstances in 2000. It was devastating - he was such a lovely dog. He's buried in the garden with his blanket and toys. Right now we are nursing our border collie through the final stages of bladder cancer. He is on medication which keeps him painfree but cannot alter the final outcome. He still enjoys his food and rooting about in the garden, the only sign that he is ill is that his bladder is constantly leaking. The house reeks of Dettol. While he is enjoying life we will keep him going. Our vet has assured us that we will know when the time has come. He estimates 3/4 weeks. This is the real price of being a pet owner, not the financial costs incurred over his lifetime, but the heartbreak at the end. As you know, only too well.

As an ex-service woman, (many moons ago of course) I did come across this problem. At that time the men/women's services were not merged and the regulation pace for us was 27". However, I am only 5'2" tall and my normal pace is/was 25" and I found maintaining 27" very difficult. It felt as if I was goose-stepping! My legs ached for hours afterwards. I didn't suffer any permanent ill effects, I stopped marching and (eventually) stopped aching. But I wasn't carrying a backpack. If these women have suffered permanent damage then they do deserve compensation. It is only unfair when compared to the miserable compensation offered men who have suffered horrendous injuries, loss of limbs, sight etc. That is the real scandal that should be remedied immediately.

Sorry, I'm a computer duff and can't do links. Could somebody please visit the Mail's site and do a link showing what this gentleman had to say about the Mail when he wrote to them asking for a job. Thanks Sorry, should have said Mehdi Hasan

Poles were employed by the Council in the 1950's to lay mains drains in Oak Close (Redbridge).

I was a bit older, about 11 but I was in charge of my two younger cousins as well as the neighbours littl'uns. If I did'nt get the whole lot back in time for their dinner did'nt I get what for!

and every Saturday all line up - to see the films we like and shout aloud with glee"

Ah, here we go - typical male reaction, turn it into a wind up!. You won't get me on that one Spudgun - I'm the only female in an otherwise all male household and I've been wound up by experts!! I'm off to bed now, goodnight Spudgun and sleep well.

A 'bit embarrassed!!' - how many of your 'odd mistakes' have made the nationals? How many times have the details been reported on every radio/TV station from here to Australia? Their names were'nt made public before her death but everyone in that hospital would have known and probably all their visitors and tradesmen as well. She was also the one most to blame because the 2nd nurse would have assumed that the necessary checks had already been made. If that had been me, it certainly would not have driven me to suicide but I would have been ashamed and humiliated beyond words at making such a basic mis-judgement. I don't know how I could have gone back to work and faced everyone - after all, its not the sort of thing that you can just laugh off. Unless of course you are an Australian TV presenter with the sensitivity of a rhinoceros. I understand that they are now shattered and in need of counselling - the poor dears!

That nurse was globally humiliated when that tape was broadcast. The presenters, having 'apologised', then went on air with the woman describing it as the easiest prank she'd ever done and that it was the highlight of her career, while the guy chortled in the background, heaping further pain on the nurse. They did'nt give a thought to the distress they had caused because they were too busy congratulating themselves on how clever and funny they were. Yes, of course the nurse should have thought of her children and the pain her death would cause them. I suspect that she was too distressed and felt too humiliated to think rationally.

Signed. Disgraceful treatment to one of our own!

The most important thing of all is to make sure that everything you sell goes 'recorded delivery or some other 'sign for' method. If a buyer says that their item has not arrived and informs eBay, Paypal will take the whole amount from your account and refund it to the buyer unless you can give a tracking number. It will be no use at all to offer a post office receipt as 'proof of posting'.

When I was a kid and somethibg like this happened my Mum used to say "Let him out and let the women have him. They'll loosen his tongue!"

How anyone can find a 'joke' about dead babies funny is beyond me.
