Discussions I've Participated In

In general I mean? A good friend of mine recently made some disparaging comment about 'people in social housing' which surprised me rather. Do the Lizzie Bardsley's (wifeswap from ages ago, really...

I'm assuming not the 2nd February which is when we received a "letter" from H's two nephews. If you can call one sentence printed out on a computer and stuck into a card with a few splodges on it, an...

My friend lives in a small village on the outskirts of Leeds, and yesterday she tried to get to work but couldn't get out of the village. It's a good way out of Leeds and doesn't get gritted or...

I remember, as a 2 or 3 year old in about 1970, the Sainsburys in Kenton. It was divided into two halves and in one part there were individual stalls all around the room for meat, fish, cheese etc....

Brief background first- I am very particular about who I give me personal mobile number to. I make no secret of this. One work colleague who I count as a friend has it. I have had problems with...

I've just cleaned the fluff filter on my washing machine. I know, I know, I should do it after every wash but surely noone does that? It's such a grim job, up there with cleaning out the plughole of...

I have taken voluntary redundancy and my last day at work is tomorrow. My last day as an employee of this company is Saturday. I will also be 28 weeks pregnant on my final day, and reached the...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7856595.stm Heard this on BBC breakfast news this morning. Personally I think it's ridiculous and will just add to the stigma or mystique of alcohol, if you like....

Does anyone get this - and how do you deal with it? Obviously constant antibiotics are not an option. Following a perenial repair just before christmas I have woken up today with my 3rd bout of...

Last night my daughter came home from school and told me that a 12 year old boy had had his tongue pierced by his dad. This is a man who has no driving licence, yet drives a car and who rides a...

Funny or lowest form of wit?

Just pondering really. Some days I do some days I don't.

Do you have a top-sheet? As in, you put a sheet over the mattress - bottom sheet - obviously, but do you have one over you too, between your body & the duvet or quilt, or blankets? We don't. My...

We were talking about it before and I am shocked about how many people don't use fabric conditioner. I always do, maybe I am the weird one ? So, do you?

What are yours? i am just about to undertake this mammoth task and always end up thinking ill wear that (never mind its 2 sizes to small or completely hideous!) think my partner will have a canary if...

This looks interesting. http://primetime.unrealitytv.co.uk/horizon-%E2%80%93-why-are-thin-people-not-fat/ Obviously for the vast majority of people it's a pretty simple calories in/calories out...

My SIL (2b) went into the bridal shop today to look at their dresses (not wedding dresses but they do long and short evening wear) anyway, she loved a straight dress in chocolate and cream. She tried...

I don't think I've ever seen it this inactive. there are still all the same posts on the front page, not added to yet, that were there when I went to bed. I really think this place is on the way out -...

OK - there's going to be plenty of things that your size / shape may not suit - but what is your 1 stylistic "no can do" that you're most peeved about? I would love to be able to do "tuckage" - that's...

Following on from Sophie's more exciting thread, what do you use to get your shower screen really clean? I know we live in a hard water area, but it's ridiculously difficult to get it clean. I've...

You know when random questions just pop into your head? I just wondered why you get a scar from your BCG injection? What actually causes your skin to scar? Just curious... TIA

The font's bloody tiny, and if I zoom it, I have to scroll across every page. I will go blind reading this for more than a few minutes. I think this is the end of the road for me with this place. ...

I am sure the answer to this is 'yes' ? I'm not afraid of my phone, I just don't like speaking to people on it. It feels like an intrusion. I am very happy to respond to texts and emails, to phone...
