    You should be good for another 30000 miles Sue, that's probably the only way to look at it. Still a lot to find in one lump, though.

    Listening to various gossip, the bottom line is the most important one, I think......

    ETA: Except that Russia and Belarus can't swap 12......

    If they do, then they may well outlast the car! The old girl is 17 years old now.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    Erm, am I the only one thinking "who's bothered?".

    The issue of incest is real because of genetic inbreeding.

    I can't imagine these 2 were going to be the world's first male couple to produce offspring together.

    Actually, it does matter. It keeps the Jezzer Kyle ratings up. For that, we should all be ashamed.

    There are mutterings somewhere or other in the world that incest should be decriminalised because of broken families and people meeting who have not known each other as children etc.

    I feel terribly sorry for these men, I think its a horrific situation to be in, but I cannot help thinking it would change dynamics for many regardless of lack off offspring. The poor, poor guys. I wish I'd not heard about this now. I am shuddering with the idea of the potential pain this could create.

    Does anyone else see the thread title about London bursting and want to pop on to offer London a second helping of pudding? Every single time I see it I have to quash the desire. I dare not open the thread.



    I was going to rewrite my freezer inventory today as it has got a little messy with lots of erasing and additions squeezed in, but as soon as I has washed the black board the field maintenance guy called to say he was coming to spray the fields. He arrived, with wrong spray on board, and mentions my troughs were a bit green and would dull the spray, so I have clean two troughs instead. Now I'm tired, and having erased my freezer inventory, have no idea what is in the freezer. I cannot believe I was so stupid not to have taken a photo first to work from. :(. I was going to double check every thing anyway, but still....

    I can't believe you are suggesting it's anything other than a fair contest CK.

    I'm shocked :)


    He is probably just posting that in the hope of getting his phone hacked by the Daily Mirror.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    No, not quite.
    When I felt it was "safe" to return (latest gossip suggests it isn't btw) I clicked around a few other threads.

    In some ways, I cannot believe how nasty certain areas of this site, and certain posters have become.

    Is it just me & having rose tinted glasses, or are there some really confrontational posters now?
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    Rose tinted glasses. Remember NDG getting a horrid threat years ago?

    Safe? Have you had problems too?

    I thought you posted a really thought provoking thread the other day.

    Apart from a few long running grudge matches I thought the debate was a bit better of late...obviously as long as you don't mention the 'S' word.....

    I have, involving some threats on a board and several by PM. The member concerned was duly PPR'd.

    I read about the Apple Watch with interest on here.

    The problem is....it doesn't capture that retro vibe does it?

    I think they are learning though :)
