    It mustn't have been all that important. Or maybe, just maybe it was so important that all record of it has been wiped Big Brother style.

    That sounds interesting. And potentially libellous!

    I WANNA KNOW!

    When your toast goes cold before you have a chance to eat it.It has to be hot with the butter melted in

    There are never any buses (they all cease to exist) between 08:25 and 08:35*

    So, if getting one at 08:35 means you will be a little late, you think, ok well sure I'll get myself to the bus stop ten minutes early...so you get there at 08:25 feeling delighted with yourself, and spend ten minutes waiting for the fuucker at 08:35 that you would have got anyway :(

    So really, unless you are going to be more than ten minutes early there is no point being early at all.

    *Trivial annoyance: I know this and still keep fooling myself.

    I love cold toast! I put mine in the fridge to cool it down before I put butter on it :P

    Oddly enough, I rather like cold-ish toast myself, with a layer of creamy butter on top that I can actually see. The fridge is a bridge too far, though! :D

    nope; i was heaving planks of wood around in the shed, preparing to block off the bottom of the fence so my cats will only have one way through my garden. my kind landlod had just fenced it in for me...tripped and fell onto a shifting pile of split logs..took me several tries to get up....in the us they have adverts for alarm phones with this old dear lying on the floor quavering....ive fallen and i cant get up....so i lay there, repeated that and burst out laughing...
    it was the next day and many tylex later that i conceded defeat and went to a and e

    i am only just over 70 ..

    one of my extended family in canada has just broken a hip....much the same age as me but she had seen a shingle loose on the roof, climbed up and fell off...

    In fact I have the opposite problem with butter during the Winter. You do not want to see what happened one day when I mis-timed it with the microwave and a half-pound of Kerrygold. :pac::pac::pac:

    :mad: Why do people take their mutt out for a walk, bag up the dog crap, and throw the bag on the grass verge? Why? Who could be so fúcking inconsiderate and lazy that they think this is remotely okay?

    People around my area broke their arses cleaning up the Dodder. We try to keep the place nice and do what we can for the area we all live in. Yet, there is some lazy fúcker who thinks it perfectly okay to throw his/her dog crap around for others to clear up. When I find out who you are, I'm gonna shove your lazy fúcking face in this heap of shíte you've created.

    I watched this pile grow over two weeks. Every day, there'd be another bag added to it, sometimes two. It's the same type of bag and the same spot, so I reckon it's the same person. I've tried varying my walk/cycle to work times to catch her/him in the act but haven't yet. I've been on to the Council and they can do nothing unless they catch this tosser in the act. No sooner than it's all cleaned up, then the shít-bagger is back with the bags of crap and the pile begins again. Grrrrrrr.

    Ps - if anyone else travels along the Dodder cycle path near Milltown, keep an eye out for this clown. The pile is always at the corner of that little footbridge at Bankside Cottages.
    take a camera with you...

    when i was coming home from hospital by their taxi, i was still nauseous so had one of those funny new sick bags with me. thick plastic tubes style. had to get the very understanding driver to stop, by a grass verge with sheep over the fence.

    the driver wanted me to throw it in the verge...refused and drove the rest of the way clutching it

    I was shaving last night and managed to drag a three blade razor across my finger nail, did not draw blood, but Christ, the sensation gave me a pain in my hair.

    Don't let lapin hear you say that :) he's not in the best with wasps at the mo.
    Ya I'm the same. I feed them too and have them walking all over me :) people think I'm nuts !

    Even reading this gave me a pain in my nails. Up there with biting them below the nerve or when you pull it across too low down, as well as that electric shock when a piece of tin foil touches a filling or you chew the corner of a dry tea cloth and hear that dry squeak in your mouth :P

    Paperless billing Lynn, now all I get in my mailbox are postcards and letters from friends. I love to read about my friends adventures abroad; email, skype, etc are always so impersonal and disconnected. At least with a postcard or a letter I appreciate the person has sat down and taken time to write it :)

    Off-topic but Lynn you're a bit of a legend really with all your wood chopping, wasp fighting, wrist breaking... and you're still only 70!! :D

    Graces7, I too am over 70 and I have a phone alarm fob that I carry around my neck. Only used it once when I fell crossing a gate and broke a wrist and leg. Great device and easily available - community alert scheme arranged moine.
