No it is anything like that
I see entirely where they are coming from
We dont, any of us, do outside our own class
It might not be politically correct, it certainly isn't what we want to admit
It is however the truth
LIR, define happiness with a partner?
Similar hopes, dreams which is similar class.
I can see why my family is so angry and why I have did my cousin no kind of favour
Er, my dad and mum are not from the same class.
They passed their 40th aniversary a few years back.
They are happy and still in love.
You are talking a complete load of tosh, frankly.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

Someone was asking about kent a few days ago. Roads have been gritted, most major roads in my area are clear, and minor roads are very icy but passable.
Went shopping, last of christmas stuff is in.
Am vaguely wondering where I can get other writers for an idea I've got... in any case, it won't happen for at least six months, because I am swamped, but I was thinking about starting a google news - local news site for kent. But you need quite a large investment in terms of time... at least three writers, who each post several high quality original news items a day.
The advantage is that it gets indexed in google news like lightning, and you can get a huge amount of traffic... once you get accepted, your site is worth a heck of a lot more.
The problem is, it requires a much higher quality site than I normally produce.
Edit: I didn't see Inspector Monkfish#s post, but it is great news, and I hope you have a really good and happy holiday.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

Yes, getting accepted as a news site is key - but there are some sites which aren't news at all... if I wanted to do this I'd be paying close attention to the news sources and trying to work out how they got round it/how I could leverage them to get round it ... there are ways round it I'm sure.

For my town site, I just use rss feeds and FeedWordpress to publish new posts based on rss feeds I've found that are relevant. Then I just pick out the ones I'm interested in and quickly give them a complete re-write, or bin the ones I'm not interested in, or simply publish good ones that I want to include but can't be 4rsed to re-write (along with a link back to the original, which is part of FeedWordpress auto settings).0 -

What absolutely wonderful news...so pleased for you all.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.0 -

I didn't see the original, but yes that's great news. Spending Christmas hanging around in hospital would have been horrible. Let's hope for the best for Daisy.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
Men generally are more gung ho than women about driving. That does not mean they are better drivers - they just think they are.
So far 9 people have thanked me for that post. Would anyone care to guess how many of them were ladies?

woohoo. Heating at DH's office broken down so he's coming to work from home
On the last train out, and it stops in a place I don't know well and where they have had more snow but driving mainly on main roads. I'm thinking to allow an hour and a quarter for a 25-30 min normal drive....and taking a sleeping bag. I wish he'd fixed the window of the car (doesn't roll up properly ATM) and never have I wanted a car with heating more! (edit...wonder if ther is much connection with this dratted constant cold I have!) 0 -
