I copied the Inspector's post onto the chattering thread in grabbit and it has been requoted quite a few times. Translated into lots of votes and Daisy is now 5th in the rankings, from about 10th last night!:jDid the same on another forum that I post on, this morning, I hope it helps out.
Will try to contribute more to the thread next week. Went down to Lyon earlier this week for the new Renault Truck launch ( made me happy), slowly wading my way through the accumulation of paperwork. Grrr
It's also now on a wolves forum I use, together with a link to the trust itself.
The kind mods who run the place have sticky'd the thread so it stays at the top for a short while so it'll be prominent.
It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -

It does feel odd to me, too, but she's quite new in Chambers, and I don't know her very well.
The wedding's being held in a court building - something of a busman's holiday for me!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Very much so. Add to that it'll be the middle of winter, & when we are quite likely to have bad weather. It is also in the middle of nowhere & makes travel an issue. Plus it is very close to another festive period.
The question is, can i be ar5ed?lostinrates wrote: »We hate the partner of one of our closest friends too. But we support her....she's not asking us to shack up with him. In fact, they are having difficulty ATM and we were emailing and it was very hard to know what to say. I'm very clear that there is one way to solve all the problems with him!

A year ago, I'd agree with you.
Now, I'm less certain.
Any relationship (friendship included) is 50-50. In this case, it feels that I've done more than enough instigation. If he cared, it'd be reciprocated. he doesn't. I am getting to the end of my tether with it.
It is also a long time away. If I were to get (chloroform at the ready!;)) a potential mrs jelly, I'd want her to come along. The assumption that this isn't going to happen, or if it does, she ain't coming, rankles somewhat. Further, I could "use" the invitation as an ice-breaker or similar with a potential date couldn't I?
He's been with her for about 5-6 years now. In that time, I've not spoken with her once. She's rude, arrogant, & controlling. She's made it clear she doesn't like his friends.It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.0 -

Don't sit on the fence - what do you really think about her?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Oh yes, I'm not saying its ideal or sticking up for him, but I do think the situations are different.
Fwiw I don't like some of dh's friends either, not all of them. But they are his friends and I don't see why I should want to chum up with all of them. When it happens its fab, but when it doesn't....it doesn't.
Lemonjelly, if I get married again please consider yourself,and your date, invited

I wear them in summer (wearing one now) with flip flops and sunglasses, or in winter with big jumpers and boots. And thermal underwear underneath.
They stretch and shrink with me. They are comfy enough to nap in
and casual.
Sadly they are getting a bit past it now, one has a couple f holes so I schlep around home in it.
I would normally but it's the time of the month and I really need to feel covered not loose
I've also started knitting a patchwork afghan.0 -

Hmm.....there is a theme here. Can it really be we are electronically synchronising :eek:
I feel fine in my jersey dresses while feeling 'minstrel'.0 -

Honestly, I', not grumpy!
Infact I,m very giggly ATM. Which is a relief after the depression from medication discussion with neurologist this week. I have woken each day and waited to see how I feel and then grinned when realised it was tired but chipper. 0
