    Oh the freedom I felt when I was finally allowed to watch the Young Ones....when I moved out and it was on re-runs!
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.
  • I am a little confused as to how important house prices are to the economy.

    Ooohh I remember dancing at the under 18 disco my dad used to hold, to Madness "It must be love".

    And Kool and the Gang...and beating everyone in the can can, I was one of those annoying people who could do the splits at the end.

    Nowt to do with house prices but hey ho, it's nice to have a trip down memory lane.

    My opinion is that Crash Gordon want to avoid a crash at all costs until after the election. IR's are at record lows and there's a lot of optimism and positive spin around, so it seems like a good time to buy.

    So pretty much all of the Western countries have agreed to lower their IRs to record levels in an effort to help the Prime Minister of the UK in his attempts to secure another term at the helm?

    Nice thinking Batman.

    Or maybe it is just a coincidence that all of these other countries have lowered IRs to record levels for the good of the respective countries economies and Gordon Brown is only doing it to save his own skin...

    That damn evil old Gordon Brown and his Vested Interests.
  • Yeah gordon lives in the fortress of evil, atop doom mountain.

    Don't want to get too much into this side of things but parties in other affected countries have their own elections to face
