Just had a clear out. Apart from realising what a very odd collection of food I have (kombu seaweed? Relatively young with a sell by date of May 2005), the oldest thing was one of those squeezy containers of Heinz Tomato Ketchup - sell by December 2004 :-$ I don't even like tomato ketchup :)) Poured it down the sink and it looked like I was trying to dispose of the evidence of a murder.

It's when you start to get middle age spread. Parts of your body appear to migrate to other parts and if you're a woman your waist disappears. Or is that old age rather than middle age? AARRRGGGHHHH :-S

Yeh, you tell em, Flapjackdavey. Actually it's Wilhelm who's broken the rules, not reneet. So going back to your post, Gigolo Aunt by Syd Barrett .... er, dunno, can't think of anything :))

Well the peregrines might not have gone, but the RSPB have :)

I'm getting tired of pointing out that "Pikey" is an offensive word to use about other people.

How often? I've seen it mentioned on the forum once, have you seen it happening frequently?

Well said Cam, but HOW COULD SHE?? Really taking advantage of people's good nature, isn't she. Manipulative and horrible.

londonloves, don't mean to be critical but do you think you could put some spaces in between some of your sentences? It's awfully difficult to read when it's a huge lump of text all crammed together :-$

I shall keep my eyes > peeled near the hospital instead. xxxxxxx The nesting peregrines at the Tate were a year or so ago, weren't they? The RSPB had a little stall set up underneath, with binoculars to watch them with. Very heartwarming. Are they back?

Sitting on Top of the World - Cream

It's the heart afraid of breaking That never learns to dance It's the dream afraid of waking That never takes the chance It's the one who won't be taken Who cannot seem to give And the soul afraid of dying That never learns to live

Ah, thanks :)

Where's Morrisons?

Well if the deadline for applications was March 15 this post is a bit pointless, no??

Someone has it. xxxxxxxxx It's "lost" to the department who didn't spend it. That's how things work in the public sector, apparently.

MrBen, go for it! :)-D

Not only that but probably the departmental budget for the following year will be cut as often it's based on the previous year's spending. So a double wammy.
