And people who went to Westminster School - that's the type of wedding Bruv's going to today. Maybe that counts as having lived within the precincts? I don't know....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 - Weddings: Who can get married in Westminster Abbey?

I think anyone who pays with Bitcoin is also entitled to get married in Westminster Abbey.0

Some people say that Bitcoin is associated with drugs and child !!!!!! so it would be a perfect match for the church.

Mmm that's what I'm worried about. I've done that before, more than once, never ends well, and I promised myself I'd never do it again!
I became good friends with another law student in my first year at UCL, and we became ever-closer mates during the first term in our second year.
That was 1998, and we're blissfully happy together, and our son turned 8 in June. So it can end well, sometimes....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 -
Where y'all been today?
We have done soccer with DD1, lunch, birthday party for DD1 simultaneously with first communion class for DD2, pick up DD2, pick up DD1 and take her straight to swimming with brownies whilst also ferrying aunty around and various other bits of sorting out. it would have been wore if DD2 had not been too unwell to do her soccer and swimming.I think....0 -
Met a Nice Girl too. Really like her, and she's given me lots of signs she likes me (this doesn't happen very often)... but she split up with her boyfriend a couple of weeks ago, so I really don't know what to do
Be nice to the Nice Girl. Where's the harm in that?Mmm that's what I'm worried about. I've done that before, more than once, never ends well, and I promised myself I'd never do it again!
You could of course ask her if she's over the breakup and looking for a new bloke or still processing the fall-out from the old one. But waiting a bit might be better. If you rush in, you protect yourself from missing the boat with her, but you risk being just her rebound fling. If you wait, you risk missing the boat, but if you do get into a relationship, it'll likely be healthier. Depends what's more important to you, really. Hope it turns out well for you, anyway.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -
Thanks NDG (previous post)
Lydia - major meltdown in class, deleted all his work,went missing and couldn't be found in the school building, discovered outside trying to calm himself down using his coping strategies, they try to force him back in, he freaks again, they finally get him back in but then took a further two hours to be calm/not as distressed enough to return to classes.
In a nutshell...the whole process took about 3 hours.
Oh Sue. I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm glad he's a bit calmer now, and I do hope nothing else occurs to tip him over the edge for a long time.Update on James
He is loving university! He has a good lot in his flatmates (there are nine including James, 6 men and 3 woman) and two excellent Italian cooks, both male, who are cooking traditional Italian meals their mother's taught them, every other night for the others, James is in heaven as he loves Italian cookery.
They are all sharing their equipment and food, taking it in turns to buy the beer and all went out on Tuesday for a supermarket run, splitting the cost between them.
I think he is in his element.
Fab news. I'm sure they're all equally pleased to have him with them.Some people say that Bitcoin is associated with drugs and child !!!!!! so it would be a perfect match for the church.
Oi! This is the NPT. Be nice - even about the church. Please.Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

Ask her? What a silly notion. This is Britain we're talking about not America. The correct thing to do in this situation is to do nothing for four to five months until she starts seeing someone else, then get really drunk and text her telling her that you love her at 4am. Works every time.0 -

I know someone who married his rebound. In fact 25 years later he still sometimes calls her his rebound.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.
