How could they resist Ed Miliband? The hair, the nasal tone, the worthy sincerity. Osbourne!Clegg! Salmond! Boris is a Spitting Image puppet isn't he?

If they did get going I think it would revive a popular political interest. It could do wonders for the Scottish devolution debate.

Oh and Ed Balls, and I think Bercow could be played the diminutive card in the same way as David Steel in the old programme. Definitely Boris! And Osborne. Oh there are so many...

They said they are in their 70s now so wouldn't do it. It's a great shame.

Well, osteopath was all a bit anticlimatic, no cracks...but lots of instructions for ice and exercises.

Also, bit worryingly, a recommendation for a kinesiologist. I have assumed its all snake oil so steered clear of this kinda thing. Do I give it a whirl just to see or what? Presumably it cannot hurt? (Apart from wallet). Mind says no, but part of me says.....well.....the other lot don't help much but no one mocks them....

I had to go away and look up what a kinesiologist is. As it is different to applied kinesiology (I've tried it and it was snake oil) then it may be worth a shot. Possibly suffers from a bit of guilt by association from very similar name?

I'm a give anything a whirl once kind of gal, so give it a go.

I have a friend who's a kinesiologist - not near you, so no touting for work there - I can ask her something specific if you want more info before making a decision.

Hmm, googling the recommendation I think she might be the former.

Selling her served as just kinesiologist I've googled and the words systematic keep coming up which seems to be this website I haven't yet read.

Snake oil I think. ( haven't read website, bad mood, pessimistic, grumpy, feel ready to be exploited)

I'm tired now

Is she this sort of kinesiologist? The systematic/applied one?


I'm happy to retire from conventional medicine now. DH has found a couple of quacks struck off or spmething like that he thinks I should see too. :eek:

This morning I asked RP (back yesterday) to Hoover downstairs. I did the kitchen and I just wanted RP to do three rooms and the hall way, so I thought....forty mins, max? RP has been doing one room for an hour. Every now and again walks through the room i am sitting in making a big huff that I am now sitting down and have been since I got in apart form feeding dogs and playing with them in garden for ten minutes. (I was up three hours before , and have been doing loads today , so I feel asking someone to vacuum is not worthy of massive huffing.). And yet I feel guilty and RP obviously feels really put upon. We really need to have a talk but cannot face it now. Besides, there is , it seems another hours vacuuming in that. I might suggest its left and I'll just do it. It will only take me ten mins).

I've texted her, might not hear back till tonight though, lir

If it takes you ten minutes lir, then you will probably be told that you are not doing it properly. Sometimes in life, you can't be right for being wrong... frustrating!
