    On SC's theme... here's one I came across on the way home a couple of years back, on sheen road which is one of the main roads into Richmond. That house was out of commission for a while...

    You wait until you're a Dad. You'll soon find your battery runs down pretty quickly then!

    Its actually a Seiko Kinetic so running about after mini me will make sure it stays charged.

    It may not say I love you in 27 languages but if its still going in just over 21 years then it will be past on to my son at 21 which will say I love you in the only language that matters... the one where you mean it.

    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)

    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.

    Dear (insert appropriate expletive)

    I have no intention of meeting you or conversing with you relating to the monies outstanding.

    Do not contact me again unless it is to inform me that the money has been transferred into my account.

    I don't think he has his own place to stay. And I'd rather deliver it via a Hertfordshire carrier emu airdrop ;)

    Don't let him get to you, especially not at bedtime.

    Time to think of and laugh at white dogs hiding in magic eye pics, strange animal encounters and anything else that will make you smile. Your hectic social life should tell you how popular you are and how you don't need to have anything to do with life's users... you're worth more than that.

    Thank you. Good plan. Also, if he did turn up round here I'm pretty sure my neighbours would look after me. They're lovely, really lovely. But I wouldn't want to mess with them :)

    Had a surreal journey to work this morning.

    As I was driving under a tree there was an enormous thud on my car's roof. I thought a branch had fallen onto it.

    When I got out of the car, I had the most enormous bird poo on it. So big, in fact, that I think that there are tree-dwelling emus living in the wilds of Herts. Think a quarter of the size of an Audi A4 roof. Either that or there be eagles in these parts.

    Thank goodness for heavy rain. That's all I'm saying.

    Bloomin' nature.

    :rotfl:

    Probably an eagle or other large bird of prey....

    Although to be fair I've seen some pretty horrific Seagull poo up here from our giant scary Aberdonian seagulls.:)

    I turned a corner in a country lane and despite checking in every direction , I was surprised by a colossal thump as a bird hit my windscreen ( not breaking it mind).

    Because it fell vertically downward, it was a very sobering reminder you can't anticipate everything.
