:T Couldn't have put it better myself.
Lyn, I wasn't around for whatever it was, but I can promise you this; keep posting on old style or I will get my pal the private detective to track you down. She's good. Then I shall come and visit you and tie you to your pooter to make you post. So there.:p
Or I could join boultdj in singing at you. You really don't want to hear me singing, trust me.:rotfl:Random fact; we are 2 days away from the full moon and a bloke outside was howling at it. He may have been a student. It's that sort of an evening.
I think it must be a pretty powerful full moon - all the nutters are out at work0 -
Don't worry, I know where she lives... :cool:

If Lyn goes too quiet, pls PM me her address, greenbee. I'll have to hire a car to get into your neck of the woods, but it might be necessary, and I was never one to shirk from necessary.Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness.

I think that is sensible though remember you should declare any income otherwise you could end up in trouble with the tax man. Though you will also be allowed to claim some allowable expenses as well. You could consider calling the tax office and just ask what you need to do. If you are honest and up front the tax office are pretty reasonable. If all you might get from it is a small sum every year then they might simply say not to worry unless it is above a certain amount.
You could for example set up a food buying co-operative where by you bulk buy for a group of people, including yourself, and effectively make no profit, but your own food bill plummets. Technically you are not making a profit but could still be better off because your own food bill falls. The tax man might want to see that you are not making a profit but as I said most of them are pretty reasonable.
Ooh....food co-ops...a thing I've never been lucky enough to have in my vicinity...but I live in hopes...:cool:0 -
:eek: Gawd knows what the next two days at work are going to be like. The 'odd' calls always pile up at full and new moons. We could be in for some interesting interactions with The General Public.

Given my line of work, the nutters are harmless. But it does make you wonder...
If you need to come and sort Lyn out I'll pick you up from the station :cool:0 -

If it's what you want, then start one. No reason you can't be the person to make it happen.0 -

If you need to come and sort Lyn out I'll pick you up from the station :cool:You think trains run from Provincial City?! Golly, but we're not as modern as that. Stagecoaches pass towards the distant delights of Lunnon Town from time to time, with cowboys riding shotgun on the roof to protect the passengers from the banditos in the woods. It's not accidental that there are a lot of archers around here, you know.;)
PC is where people come to be forgotten on the grounds that no one'd think of looking for anyone here. It is also a bit like the Hotel California; you can check out but you can never leave.
Well, you can try if you like, but some mysterious force will always draw you back; woman I know reckons she's left 4 times and she's still here, mwah ha ha.
Righty, enough delighfulness with you all, I must get off this pooter as have an early appointment with my tooth wrangler tomoz before w*rk for a check-up. I have a few twinges in the general area of my wallet; could be bad news a-coming.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I think eating marmite out of a jar with a teaspoon for the previous fortnight before my appointment should have given a clue as to what was really wrong with me:o
I snorted my coffee after reading that.
Good news regarding my new garden, it seems to be inordinately fertile. That is, if you take into account how fast the weeds regrow in an area previously weeded :rotfl:. Have just taken delivery of some fancy schmancy agricultural weed matting. Developed with the CSIRO, it's designed for commercial use and should last 8 years. It was also actually cheaper than the stuff in the DIY shop. I'm going to put it down where the previous owners just had rocks on bare earth for paths and add in a few rocks of my own. This may not be immediately evident to be prepping, but if I can stop the weeds in the areas that I don't want to tend, it should reduce the number in the areas I do want to tend.

The circumstances if the explosion directed at myself was uncalled for. The posts themselves which were removed were reported by other people.
As for saying I was bullying is entirely in accurate, I asked Mrs l privately to have a word with fuddle as a sustain happened on another of which I and others feel we cannot post on anymore.
If anyone wishes to see the message I sent to Mrs l and fuddle they are not than welcome to see.
I have never bullied anyone in my life and the treatment which I have received from people who barely know and one who I brought into my home and family. in teak life. Instead I asked for them both to discuss any discontent privately and instead they have made this public. My parental responsibility was rubbished and I find it disgusting that two people are allowed to behave. in this manner.
I'm sorry to post this but I feel I have to because of the way I personally and my family have been spoken about .
I only replied to fuddles words of saying prepping for debt Is absurd, I actually found it quite offensive and I explained why.
My attitude is not negative just realistic. I have to be in my situation. I have two children my eldest child is 14 and due to be 15 yrs in May. He's 5ft 11 and a half and a strapping responsible mature young man. My youngest child is 11 yrs old. I don't understand why I should have to prove to others why my eldest son has a access to a crossbow whilst in care of a professional trainer.
As you can tell I'm very angry about this as I have Bergen reading along with this thread since the start and now I am being victimised again on another thread.
Sorry for coming off track, forum moderators please feel to remove it0
