Discussions I've Participated In

My dad went into hospital last tuesday to have a tumour removed from hisgullet. The operation went well and he was sent to the high dependancy ward to recover. He seemed to be doing well and then last...

I'm having great fun today reading the Pioneer Woman blog - she's a fab writer and takes great pics of food. But many of her recipes are just insane - if all Americans cook like that, it's no wonder...

Ok so I know this is going to be very vague and I apologise. This person has claimed that they have had a huge tragedy in their life, but in my opinion, things aren't adding up. I know that people...

R-A's earlier comment "I see the parks and my Lido and the fab diversity and sense of community where other people see the gun crime and used syringes" got me thinking about how certain areas develop...

Just trying to work out budgets and looking at the last few months we're probably spending nearly £260 (on average) on food for 2 of us. That's a bit much isn't it? Caught the start of the article on...

Or has anyone been issued that ultimatum? If so what was the outcome?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-94JhLEiN0 Not sure on this one. I quite like little dances at the reception but this just looks a bit wrong, and far too "try hard" to me. I dread to think what my...

It was a Hitcher who was a foodie. Picture is of her (long dark hair i think) leaning against her oven. Thanks

Your three year old needs to go to the toilet while you're out shopping. You are surrounded by bars/restaurants/coffee shops, but you go the nearest drain and he wees there. Is that normal? L xx

Considering i've eaten more than usual so far today i'm feeling really hungry and I won't have time for dinner later because I have netball, looks like i'll be grabbing a slice of MissSun's pizza [bad...

I've just had the loveliest, lardiest plate of smoked mackerel linguini ever, followed by slightly more virtuous strawberries. Tell me what you're having later; as usual, I am being nosy.

I wonder if such a thing exists! I've always had difficult skin, as I get rosacea, spots and I am quite pale. I really want to find out what to do with my skin as it can look so red, and blotchy and...

Hi - Just wanted to let you know, I tried to message you through here but it wouldn't work. A friend managed to download it for me and I now have it safely on my I tunes / IPod and on a memory stick!...

Is it possible to save an I player whatsit (radio thingy) to my I tunes or at least download it to my computer?

So on the Beeb this morning, they were discussing Brits abroad. And as usual a mixed bag of perceptions, but according to the piece, the further afield we go, the better behaved we seem to be...

Are you back to normal now? I still have a small amount of TTmania remaining. L xx

Hi, Hoping someone will be able to suggest somewhere to go with my Mom who's been having a tough time recently. She just wants a night or 2 away by the sea where we can relax. Doesnt want to drive too...

Has anyone noticed that the younger types on their facebook keep writing extra letters in their messages? Some of my student colleagues are doing this and its confusing me. An example being "what...

Wowzers, that's some coffin. It still makes me sad to think about him being gone :--(

How was it for you? I went Friday night and I can honestly say it was one of the best nights of my life. I cried twice, once during Never Forget when I looked around the stadium and saw all the hands...

Come on Halfwit!

Who with and where? Me and my sister will the the ones squealing in block 551 (eta seating plan)

Simply wonderful. Tom Jones is awesome. Shame they couldn't do continuous coverage.

Oh my God, it was absolutely bloody excellent! Broiling hot then chucking down with rain and Lady Gaga didn't show up, but it was fab!...

Does anyone else find these a right pain in the buttocks? I *know* they are important learning tools and help me reflect on my studies, but they are so so so so dull. I have to do 1000 words by...

Anyone used them?

Having already asked for plenty of ideas for reading this year I thought I would give some back Love Letters - Katie Fforde. Chick-lit of the most gentle kind, the perfect start to a holiday. If you...

After 27 years of having the same favourite joke I realised today it's just not doing it for me anymore and I need a new one. Would you share yours before I run the risk of becoming an utter joy...

I was just clearing out my phone texts and came across this one from my brother. "Girlfriend has excelled herself. Apparently she was dreaming that she was being made to eat worcester sauce, onion and...
