I think only dating local people is the best way to get yourself on Jeremy Kyle.

My grandfather's family were in just about every street in all the villages about 30 miles from where I'm sitting right now. He had a first marriage and two children - then it all gets a bit complex - he and his wife had been living on the offshore islands and he went into a mental hospital (again?) and she came to the mainland with her children (late teens?); grandfather was released and also came to the mainland. Wife then died of cancer (children about 20s?) and he married my grandmother - they'd both been living in the same road on the mainland and had pretty much known each other on the Islands too, with the families having known each other/lived close to each other. A year after marrying they both went back to the offshore island.

So he travelled to marry local

Before I became a disaster I had private healthcare insurance through OH. My profile put their premiums up...so OH employer 'bought' spouse cover out.

True, but OTOH the excess of women in rural China/India isn't much use to Masomnia unless he goes there to meet them. Demographics for the UK are probably more relevant in this context than global ones.



Oooh, hadn't thought of the macputer. lir, do you have the wherewithal to connect the macputer to the internet when you're out and about away from your wireless at home?

Macputer gets me there without wifi . All the stuff doozergirl is talking about is a bit over my head it wise.

I am thinking of having a macputer lesson in fact.

Getting it to reroute to bring be home otoh. That's when I am scatter brained.


RP won't be parted from phone, but I do have an old sat nav that only has limited charge. I could charge it for return journey. . This might solve that problem.

I can hire a 'small car' for under £25 so that seems best plan.

I'll hire it till next day incase I am aS long as last time :eek: I can sort it out tomorrow.

I am doing homework for the dr, going through a checklist.

I find it ironic that 'unable to stand up from squatting' is something I am meant to comment on when also meant to be doing 24 hour urine collection. Perhaps only men would be honest as to the flaw here. I shall be pointing it out.

Not using thatch is because thatching is more of a skilled craft than tiling, and because the kinds of reeds they thatch with don't grow all over the place in an industrialised society in the way that they presumably did near most villages in earlier times, I think.

I guess I'm used to a lot of thatch as I grew up on the edge of the Fens, where a lot of thatch is grown - and there are a lot of thatched houses about.

I just mean regular oven shelves - you open the door and shove your pie in ..... the shelf that it sits on. The shiny metal shelves inside.

They don't fit into kitchen sinks though - sinks are small, not nearly big enough.

I've no dishwasher, never had one.

So the shelves need to be removed from the oven, then put into something large enough for them to soak in .... and the bath is the only thing big enough.

Bath & biological washing powder, v hot water...

It probably is a beer as well! At least you knew Kerry Packer was a bloke.

Thatch = spiders... lots and lots of spiders...
