I am really cross. Out of an office of 30, with notice that there was a 'muster' for the silence I was the only one who went. Apparently sorting out travel expenses is more important etc. Feel free to...

Just wiki'd to see Jason Donovans age and apparently 20 years ago TODAY the famous Scott and Charlene wedding was televised. Can't believe it was so long ago? - more than half my life ago!

No matter how polite you are, how much your mother told you to always eat what your were given or how hard you try, what can't you eat? My nemesis foods are: Curry, of any variety. I hate the taste...

Nicks comment on the compliment the chef thread is worthy of its own thread, I think. People do seem to be utterly self-obssessed and thoughtless in today's society (although I do often ponder, is it...

We saw it. I have a few questions about things that I didn't understand ? Oh, and Daniel Craig had far too many clothes on for my liking ?

I thought everyone did this, but apparently I'm a weirdo and a funny face was pulled. Do you dip?

I've been away and haven't had any proper food for what feels like ages, plus I had some veg in the fridge to finish off before tomorrow's veg box arrives, so I had the bright idea of making a...

I never thought I would ask this sort of question as I must be honest, I usually see all that kind of stuff as total mumbo-jumbo and the few times I have in past had a so called reading, they may as...

Mini Kievs! Yes, as a child I was indoctrinated with the wonderfulness of Bernard Matthews' golf ball sized meat products (probably through TV ads although I was much more of a BBC child). I was...

To let: http://www.martinpole.co.uk/details.php?proptype=rl&id=1253 It looks like a child's playhouse.

Over a year ago, a guy we worked with at the pub we managed, borrowed our bosses car under false pretences and wrote it off. It turned out he had passengers, had been drinking and had no insurance....

Between my potential ebay buyer and now flickr I may start selling photos of my feet ? I've had a few interesting people join me as friends on flickr which I thought was fine and harmless enough, but...

Https://www.telegraph.co.uk/fashion/ has made me think about wearing coloured tights with plain black dress / black dress and black jumper for work as a way of being a bit more colourful / fashionable...

Your clothes I mean. I really must start, my clothes get trashed in the evenings. Kids, pah! And what to wear? Tracksuits always seem too slovenly. I think I'll get a few more pairs of jeans for...

I'm trying to downgrade a lot of my shop but one thing I've found that I don't want to buy the cheap versions of is washing powder/liquid. I've tried cheaper brands/own brand stuff but I just love the...

That someone from one of my brekfast meetings felt the need to send me this : https://www.careforthefamily.org.uk/article/?article=307 and I note from the inevitable unhidden recipient's list that he...

Clearly BT related but that place scares me! So, Hitchers, lend me your gobs. If you're already a parent - when did you have kids and why? (relationship? age? career? money?) Would you change anything...

Sorry, I am being the most demanding Hitcher in the world, ever atm. Just had an email from mum, she has colon cancer. She's going in to hospital for surgery tomorrow - she says it "doesn't...

For someone's birthday, would you expect them to pay? It's H's 30th birthday in January and we don't really know enough people to have a party but thought about asking his parents and brothers to come...

I'm lacking inspiration. In the past i've got her a nice food hamper (but have then received the pickles etc back later in the year), nice sets of soaps as she just had her bathroom redone. She seems...

No great surprise, as he was in his mid-eighties and widely rumoured to have terminal cancer, but it seems that Paul Newman died yesterday. There's very little on this BBC news page as of the time of...

Following the regional words thread, is there anything you deliberately mispronounce, or have your own special word for? OH and I say: investigalise / investigalisation = investigate /...
