What I find revolting is the negative opinions expressed at people who rent, as though they are second class citizens. Luckily people are starting to see through the 'dream' of owning a pile of bricks and getting into huge amounts of debt to do it, and are voting with their feet. No debt, more social housing!

Dear ''debtistheft'' I agree, no renter should be treated as a second class citizen, I enjoyed renting and living in most of the places we were in.

BUT all this sort of stuff is for out there in the rest of the board. Here we try and remember that despite opposing views on economy, renting v buying and investments in silver we can all chat about ''stuff'' within a context of internet-friendship.

welcome to the nice thread.:)

I can't be bothered with all that. I didn't eat any of those things, but then, I couldn't! Even the idea of cheese or meat was literally revolting to me.

I eat lots of eggs, of course, and unpasturised milk. Going by my mother and sister my guess is it would have been that I was ruled by cravings if I were pregnant. My sister craved loads she wasn't meant to have...including beer....and she's not a beer drinker. In the end she resorted to a ''shot'' of beer every night. so she got a bit of the taste. She tried other things, like yeast extract, in case it was some sort of related thing her body was craving, but nothing hit the spot. With me my mother wanted very hot indian food for the duration of the pregnancy, all the time. My mother and sister both had the attitude of introducing a lot to kids but one at a time. e.g. my nieces did have peanut butter far ''too young'' but it was introduced on a weekend when nothing else new was, and everyone was alert. They ate all the berries, and even things like''properly'' soft on top omlette, but they were healthy little tikes. Still risky I accept, but for them its been ok.


My grandmother was allergic to strawberries. I always think its a particularly sad allergy.

I find myself wondering how Daisy is..poor wee girl, I don't do the face book thing...is there any update?

Very poorly but apparently stable, although by the pictures of the poor girl, she looks very poorly indeed. She was in CCU but is now on the ward.

It's really not fair at all. Poor mite

I had a pm with a link, I didn't realise I could see updates without being on face book.

She is a poor mite, and the rest of the family too. Very tough on them all.

Don't know if anyone is interested, but it looks like Ratko Mladic has been arrested. He should now face trial in the Hague and this means Serbia can stop being cold-shouldered in Europe. Good news for everyone apart from Mladic and hardcore Serbian nationalists methinks.

Never heard the name before, to be honest.

No problems, he's Europe's most wanted war-criminal and will probably stand trial for genocide in relation to the Srebrenica Massacre in which 8000 died in the Balkan war in the mid 1990s.

Definitely not a nice person and definitely wouldn't be welcome here!

I wonder if his disguise was as good as Karadzic's!



Good news btw.

Oh I do hope so! There's nothing quite like seeing these people fall spectacularly from grace. Whether Karadzic and his hair, or Saddam and his vest, or Bin Laden and rumours of p0rn vids...

Good riddance to bad rubbish! Within the rules of international law and fair trial of course:o.

Sorry for being a bit un-nice fellow NPs.
