    We borrowed some children's plastic chairs and table from a neighbour. My daughter got one of the chairs stuck on her head and it had to be cut off. I am seeking a replacement."

    Possibly in defense of the asker, I know of groups of gamers who play online all year round and meet up in a hired hall and play games in the same room as each other once or twice a year. But as far as I know they bring their own Xbox's and flatscreens.

    Her head? Didn't she realise you are meant to sit on chairs?

    I'm getting really hacked off with our local Freecycle -all the cheeky "wanteds" do my blood pressure no good at all:mad:

    However I would agree that politeness does pay,:D we sent a very polite email to a lady offering a dog kennel and run so we could get some chickens and to our amazement we got it:T It's fantastic about £200 worth and looks the business, my new chickens love it:)

    This amused me a little. I'm not sure what his disability is, but should she be giving him mobile phones if he does things like this, or at least give him an old one.
    I bought my son (who has a learning disability) a new mobile last week - a sony ericson slider phone. Long story short he decided to take the back off by using a knife, except it wasn't the back he was trying to prise off, it was the sliding front! It's still in one piece but very reluctant to slide and doesn't work.
    Can anyone help????

    From my Freecycle today:
    WANTED: I would be really grateful for a dry caravan. Thank you very much

    Does she mean one that doesn't leak?!
    ' <-- See that? It's called an apostrophe. It does not mean "hey, look out, here comes an S".
