Bag which I left lying on the floor in the middle of paternoster square last night with my passport, keys, work phone, £20 in cash and a fork recovered with all items intact. Perhaps it was the used gym kit which was also in there which kept it safe.

Hmm - I think this might be presented as evidence for the defence in the great passport washing saga....

I left a brand new suit on a platform at London Bridge once. I can't believe that a 36S suit that needs taking in has any resale value.

It was never returned.

Gen, hope the recovery is going well. Glad that the news is sort of good.

My take on it, as a statistician, would be that you always will get a small number of false positives. No test is perfect and the best tests veer on the side of false positives rather than false negatives. If the doctor has seen 1000 such cases, there will be 1 or 2 which could give a false reading.

Either that or the tumour was at a pre-cancerous stage and the few cells that were positive were ahead of the game.

Anyway tentative celebrations.

liR, hope you are feeling better soon.

PN, omg! You've bought a house massive congrats!

I have no gay tendencies, but love arty gay films like My Beautiful Launderette.

Hugs to everyone else!

Night flight home tonight. Yippee!

I did a silly back of envelope calculation and I reckon the doc's seen about 1,000 people with a lymphoma. I'd put up good money that I'm right to within 10%.

Tons of people get lymphoma. Like it or not, companies that can diagnose or cure lymphomas get paid well therefore there like to diagnose and treat it rally well.

Anyway, the test that are left are for rare things. By definition I'm unlikely to have a rare cancer.:j:T:beer:

Nothing can possibly go wrong now.

I'm fascinated by the sexuality of others. I have a very good friend who is a gay man and I find his enjoyment of sexuality and culture (believe me he lives in a different culture) fascinating.

I've had a friend of his tell me that if I get drunk enough then it isn't rpae. Saying that to a man is different to a woman culturally I think. Certainly I wouldn't say that to a woman nor do I believe it for any congress.

Anyhoo, I just find this stuff interesting.

I don't care what other people do in that its not personally any of my business, but I wouldn't say its uninteresting. ( different, no?)

As long as 'no one is hurt in the making of this movie ' I'm 'ok' and open minded in that I don't think any one has the right to say no to fully consensual ( anyone else feel the giggles at the word in this context ?) though I don't necessarily even if I don't like acts ( and I am not referring to homosexuality) then it comes under the category of love, lust and passion or self knowledge.

If those things aren't interesting I don't know what is.

My personal lines drawn are drawn in chalk not indelible marker. I have found with time I need to move where I draw them, but a trace of where they were remains really.

Edit:I find any thing that is sensual...than impacts on how we feel or experience things interesting. I love food because of that, I loved the sports I did and exercising because of that, I love cloths and fabrics and colour because of those impacts they have and how people have commonly shared experiences surrounding things whether they are obvious physical and emotional boosts like orgasm, or seemingly minor things like our response to pastel shades. The impact of stroking a pet on people in care homes, for example, is facinating as a physiological response benefit from a very ' non science' driven guide of ..'feeling good and non sexual sensuality'.

These fascinating things are sometimes the things that most remind me how animal I am, and so ermines remind me how human I am. I'm with gen all the way in this, its interesting. Its interesting to ask our selves.

If the first person to find it happens to be honest, then that's all it takes. V pleased you got it back, but vaguely puzzled why you were carrying a fork.

Btw I think at some point we might on npt have mentioned rhapsody in blue and a couple of people have liked it? Its the subject of soul music currently airing on radio four.


Went for walk. Dh got me car because I 'looked funny' so big dog and I drove round the field and he and the others walked and ran.

Gate way path over a ditch has collapsed. Phooey, more money out. Car went over ok, but wouldn't want to risk some bodies tractor though.

Crickey, I've just caught up and have to say this thread is eclectic at times. It seems to be about Cucumbers, Gay Sex and house buying at the moment...

Have a word with her - make sure she's not missing a trick. She must take a good photo of everything she makes; then she's got the option of printing prints or cards/whatever in the future..... making a nice piece and selling it once doesn't make sound business sense.....

She's done a few post cards but I'll pass the tip on, thanks

Phew! :T

So, people shown round vacant allotment plots, stint in allotment shop (4th in 5 weekends) done, feed weed and mosskiller put onto lawn (most of it, I always buy insufficient bags of the stuff - should actually make a note one year of how much I need :cool: ) and time for a nice cuppa I think. :beer:
