Normally a bit of a lurker with the occasional post but have to ask what has happened to happy chappy?

HC has been given a lifetime ban for using colourful language:(:(:(Apparently he had warnings which he didnt receive and then that was it, he was banned. We all desperately want him back and he hasnt been treated too fairly so we are doing everything we can to get him back.Their have been far worse than him and they have'nt been banned. He's still lurking though and is in touch with some of us. He won't come back under a false name, he wants to come back under his right name HappyChappy:)

Stopcocks - are they not generally found in a kitchen cupboard somewhere? Any house I've been in has had it near the sink or at least in the kitchen.

Generally there will be one under the sink in the kitchen, and there is also another in your loft next to your water tank.

Another childhood memory

Did anyone else play Red Rover?
It was where two teams would stand in a line about 20 yards apart facing each other and with their arms linked.
One team would chant the name of someone from the opposing team
"Red Rover, Red Rover, we call " ......" over
Then that person would have to charge at what he thought was the weakest link and try to smash his way through the opposing wall.
There muist have been hundreds od dislocated shoulders and broken arms/wrists....but boy was it fun!!

I do remember that one, and another one I've just thought of. I don't know if it had a name but it went like this.

One person stood in the middle of the playground with the rest lined up against a wall. The one in the middle would say "Canny cross the water to see your Grannys daughter unless you're wearing the colour of ........" If you were wearing the colour you crossed safely, if not you had to run and try not to get caught or you'd be "out".

I seem to remember needing to flash my knickers on a regular bases because the school uniform was black and white so yellow knickers with pink polka dots were my favourites

Evening all

Just had a quick squint round the Metro in town. The £2 box of 36 weetabix does indeed scan for £1.49 :cool: Noticed that all the Pyrex baking trays and things are back to noraml white SEL but all have * on them, but no scanner :mad: so couldn't check them. Same for the Ariel 33 wash tabs, SEL £9 something, but couldn't check them, is there a specific barcode for this one does anyone know or is it just pot luck?!

Sorry to hear Mr 3Dogs pain didn't stay away Hope the physio will help him.
And well done to Czerniacha's bf on his new job :T:T
Oh, and bring back Happy!

Oh before I forget, Bekki & Caz, thank you both soooooo much. Wine, hopefully on its way, at an amazing bargain price and Boots vitamin glitch has stocked my bathroom for the year me thinks. Joined the 15 club today Caz. BTW, I have been using the 3 for 2 offers on the toothpaste to confuse the SAs at Boots. There are so many offers on at the same time they can't get their heads around it.

We had to find the stopcock when we had been in our house for a week, it was under the blooming floor of all places - had to lift up a floor tile, then a piece of floorboard. We had to ring the previous owner to find it. When we had a new boiler, we had it moved.

Are you positive it is a lifetime ban? Generally they give a ban of a fortnight, then a month, then a complete ban. But like everything on MSE it depends if your face fits. They bang on about rules etc yet they don't seem to apply these rules. They go on about their yellow, red card system but do they actually use it...certainly doesn't seem to have been applied in this instance.

i don't want to panic you & probably shouldn't even say this but it could be a brain tumour, OH mustn't bring him home until the docs can do all the tests, it doesn't have to be cancer it could be a benign one pressing on part of the brain which could explain the confusion & asking to eat something he doesn't like. OH must be beside himself hugs to all

bless you all hun, he is in the best possible hands. I think this forum can be very supportive and relatives need that support. However I do think that its dangerous for others to diagnose purely because it can cause more upset. I know that nobody wants to cause that so best leave that part to the specialists. In my job i do see alot of people putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 6, i am glad things are being done to help him, and find out whats going on.
hugs to you all x
