    Want to post a link to another thread if that's ok. It relates to a bunch of infographics that have been published about London. V interesting and visually stunning.

    Linking to the OP rather than the actual article as you may wish to discuss and also they deserve some thanks for finding..

    I saw that, some very good representations and a few that didn't work for me. I always wonder about whether we should follow the French approach and abstain from collecting data on 'ethnicity' on the grounds that doing so implies the race matters....
    I think....

    For us, there's also the issue of whether we're Middle Eastern, or 'white other'

    We've taken to using the latter, but the categories don't accurately define some cases.

    Just bumped into a PCO-driver friend of mine.

    He looked really surprised to see me so far from London :rotfl:

    I quite expected the swear filter to replace Gozo with !!!!.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Am I missing something here?

    We have the pressing issue of Krisia (part of Bulgaria's act, who most are speculating as the winner) having now no voice at all.

    From thinking yesterday it couldn't get any better, I'm struggling now to see how this week can get any worse......

    I would like to boast.

    Today I made the bed by myself. It might not sound much, but its a task where you bend over a LOT, and lift while bending over. I haven't really tried for ages.

    I didn't need to as we remade the bed at the weekend, but I wanted to as I had a really long nap today after my body worker finished with me and the bed felt very 'used'.

    If i want to make the bed usually its a very slapdash affair till fir gets back. This is a properly made bed.

    This makes me feel very independent and able.
