    my dad used to say 'always fight fire with fire', which is probably why he got thrown out of the fire brigade :)

    I'll just interject a word of warning here - please think about what all this continuous bickering is likely to result in.

    I have already (on the last thread) mentioned this but it seems I need to do it again. Read this post again and remember that if this continues, there won't be a thread at all.

    I know that is not what anybody wants but the outcome is in your hands.
    Bump for the hard of thinking.
    Redfox you have the patience of a saint.

    Morning, all. Life has been far to destructive to contribute to the thread; for that I apologise.

    Many thanks for keeping the threads going to all who contribute. Thanks to Redfox for your stirling work.

    I hope you all have a lovely day. Thanks for the new thread, Lowball.

    PS - a big ty to the poster yesterday who said snakes were on the loose in Pudsey - I may have caught a few :D
    I am firmly across the line. I won't impose my values on you if you keep away from mine.
