If you ever care to take a day trip with me I'll take you. Its a funny place. I love living in a country where Glastonbury exists.

It's smoking in cars with children. Apparantly it kills them or something
Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

Yeah, yeah, I know, but my point is.....I don't really see much of a difference between how I see some people rummaging and lighting in terms of distraction.
Some people , for example, are natural drummers...they can do the coordinated disassociation between their four limbs necessary quite easily, same with riders. Others never get it. Nothing stops the others smoking in cars.0 -

I have the opposite on my widescreen bedroom telly. I get to read all of the writing on screen but miss the top of their heads. It can make for some quite surreal viewing at times. I could go through the settings and try and fix, but it is quite amusing so I leave it.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing?

Good luck Gen. Thinking of you xDoozergirl wrote: »That said, it's big snow. Not settling in Birmingham, but back over the county border and everything is white!
No snow here, and we're not that much further south.Westie curled up next to me, probably dreaming about some !!!!! in heat because he makes yipping noise - as if he barks in his sleep - difficult to explain.
Avatar dog used to do that. He used to make little paddling movements with his paws, too, as though running in his dream.Do you know anyone who's bereaved?

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 -

AIUI the ban on smoking in cars with kids will apply to all occupants, including passengers, whereas it's only drivers who aren't allowed to use mobiles.neverdespairgirl wrote: »Flood damage and risk isn't just about houses, though - also about businesses, roads, train lines, schools, other non-residential buildings, too.
Yes exactly. Just what I thought but was too tired to type. It's also about farm land and production and so on.neverdespairgirl wrote: »It's been wetlands for a very long time - the medieval monks managed to keep bits dry, though, so it clearly isn't rocket science.
Well, I don't know that mediaeval monks would have managed to keep many bits dry during the wettest winter for 250 years or whatever it is. In fact several of the artificial rivers whose lack of dredging is currently being deplored weren't built until WWII. But then there were a lot fewer houses then, so it must have been easier to fit them onto the high ground.Do you know anyone who's bereaved?
