Same with you lot from the same patch....its possible you have a person in common or a restaurant or a bar or a school......
won't work for all, but still an interesting idea.
I have little/no doubt that I've not met any NP, or even come close, in RL. I am absolutley miles from any of you (from what I am able to make out).
Indeed, I wonder if any of you would understand me if we were to meet, what with me speaking black country!:DIt's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -

Possible yes. But this is the thing with thes degrees of seperation things. I didn't have a close relationship with any lecturers, so get confused as to how close this degree of seperation is.
It is a nice thought though. Reminds me of sliding doors, which was on tv the other evening.It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -

Ben Goldacre comes across as angry, but it isn't quite clear who (or what he is angry at.
And, Worrow chuck!:DIt's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -

Ah, you may never have met me Jelly, but I have rels in both Wolverhampton and Stoke, and they work in a similar field to you:eek:.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

Yummier than a yummy thing in a yummy bowl full of yum.
Red, green and yellow peppers, tomatoes, onions, chilies, McTavish's secret cajun spice mix, chicken, ham, sausage, shrimp, rice, stock and copious quantities of tobasco.
One of my favourite things to make, theoretically very easy in a single large pot, but I invariably catch/burn the rice and end up having to transfer it into another pot, but I don't have one big enough so use two smaller pots. And end up spilling hot half cooked stuff everywhere. At which point Mrs McT starts nagging, so I add a bit more tobasco just for fun.
Good times.....:beer:“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Remaining old is now becoming ill old... currently awaiting a Doctor call out ... and I have no idea if it's attention seeking, stress/grief, or something really wrong... so I have to go and watch "in case".
Back in a few hours probably....0
