Not sure if anyone can help with this or not but I'm really struggling so wondered if any true Londoners would be able to help. For various boring reasons, I need to very last minute book a hotel for...

I am doing an assignment on my course, and I'm struggling a bit with it. One of my friends is really hot on the subject. Do you think it's wrong if I get him to look over what I've done? Not actually...

Does anyone else assume that people who laugh a lot are a little bit, erm, dim?! Or am I just a sour faced cow? The only person I've ever mentioned this to before was Mr CV - we both seem to laugh...

Given the thread a few weeks ago, I thought I'd share this. We just had a new mattress delivered and nice, chatty delivery man asked to use the loo. I said yes, of course. But I've just been in there...

How do you answer this one? I got asked this today in an interview. I hate this question!!! ( also hate the "greatest achievement" question! - also got asked this!)

Is anyone watching this? If so, did it just go to adverts and miss the goal for you? Or is it our crap BT visiion that did that?

To all Pet Owners To be posted VERY LOW on the refrigerator door - nose height. ------------------------------------------------- Dear Dogs and Cats: The dishes with the paw print are yours and...

I think I'm going to have a full day's entertainment just watching my cats in the snow. One of them hates it, as all cats should, but the other one is going beserk. He's been out all morning chasing...

Before I start, I'm normally the NHS' biggest fan, but it's been a long and difficult day, in fact it's been a long and difficult month. And this story's not short. H has a congenital heart defect,...

Anyone watching? Anyone voting? I'm backing Chris Hoy. Shame the programme so far has been, well, a bit dullity dull really.

Ha! Fooled you. I know it's not on for ages yet, but I'm bored shitless so thought I'd start the thread for no real reason at all. <sigh> Who wants to come over and watch it with me? Chook?...
