    Hi everyone :hello:
    I've been lurking for ages here, waiting until I see a funny / rude post on my local frecycle so I can join in the conversation......and finally I find 2 at once!

    "hello there,
    i was wondering if anyone had a spare fish kettle? (long shape ovenware/stove
    top pan for
    cooking fish)
    hoping to cook some fish at friends wedding"


    Cooking your own food at a wedding?? I must be going to the wrong kind of wedding!

    and.....

    "wanted:computer keyboard. I knocked some coffee over my laptop. Incredibly, it still works but
    the keyboard has completely shut down."


    Own up.....no use pretending to have knocked a cup over, who was it who sprayed their coffee over their pc this time?
    Lead me not into temptation - I can find it perfectly well all by myself :D

    I have it.:j

    The answer.....:D



    to why people want inflatable bananas, giraffes, sausages (maybe not the blowup man:rolleyes: ) and others....:confused:



    Hello, my scout group is holding a wet night later this month and we are in need of some inflatables - dolphins, dingys, large rubber rings etc Anything that they can use to slide down a big wet hill is great, the wackier - the better ! Am in xxxxxxx, but can collect from most areas, thankyou


    Mind you, round here every night's been wet.....

    Is it 'done' to say "welcome back" to people who had vanished before I joined? Well, hello anyway!

    And to Morty, yes, they do grow out of it. #2 daughter is 25 now and emigrating to the States tomorrow, and I'll welcome the fact that international text messages are expensive enough for her to think twice about sending me drunken taxts at 3am, so I might at last get an unbrokenm night's sleep.

    And getting back on topic....
    Hi I need a few bits for guidecamp in 3 weeks time...

    Old Black Plastic Empty Film Cannisters ( i need about 30)

    Used tarot cards. Think they're all there. Free to a good home!

    If the cards don't say whether they are all there - do they work?

    One thing i hate with some freecycle people is when they say you can have something and then you turn up at their door and they say that it has already been taken.
    This person once said tat i could have this old computer and I really wanted it, she gave me her adress and said when i should pick up, i drove over to her house and got there at that time she said and noticed that there was about six other people there. anyway i spoke to her and she said it had been taken by the first person that got there. I think that is just bad. Has anyone elce had any problems like me:confused:

    Yes it happened to me too - didn't get as far as leaving home but this person said, and I quote, "it's Yours" - it was something I kinda needed and had been looking for, for a while so I emailed to arrange pick up time and place and heard nothing back, so after a few days eventually heard back saying as they had not heard from me they'd given it to someone else - funny that - they got my email saying I was interested that they replied to saying I could have it and the email days later when I chased them and they replied that it had gone , but oddly the email trying to arrange pick up didn't get through - really odd that isn't it ? :confused::mad::mad::mad:
    Hate and I do mean Hate my apple Mac Computer - wish I'd never bought the thing
    Do little and often
    Please stop using the word "of" when you actually mean "have" - it's damned annoying :mad:

    But is it the full deck or part deck?
    And are they still 'all there' after using them?:eek:
