OMG I'm so jealous (6) Seriously! All I've had is a stopover at LA airport :)) :))

Hit Me With your Rhythm Stick - Ian Dury and the Blockheads

I am happily a couple, but before I wasn't, I used Love and Friends and Guardian Soulmates and met some nice men on both of them :) And I know several people who are in LTRs as a result of using one or the other, including my sister. But I do think you have to meet up PDQ, because you can get a very wrong impression of people from emails :)) Edited to add: Don't know if it still does, but Love and Friends had a forum which was quite fun, I met some people I'm still in touch with from that, both men and women.

I'm finding it a bit odd seeing snowdrops, species crocuses, large crocuses and daffs all in flower at the same time - anyone else?

Sorry but some at least of the birds seem to be building their nests, unless they have taken to flying off with twigs to eat them later :))

Yeh, seen crows and blackbirds gathering materials for their nests :)

Eh? Not logical Lawrence, sorry.

I no longer have any carpets, well only one in the bedroom, I now have sort-of-half-painted floorboards! Kellygirl/Morna, thanks so much, I will be down there on Monday morning :) Edited to add: But what about the grubs (?) and eggs that are already in my wall hangings etc, isn't it them rather than the adult moths that cause the damage?? I can't believe I've only just noticed the huge gaps in what used to be my favourite wall hangings !!!! (6)

Maybe, like me originally, they thought there were only two gates :) Which one was still chained up?

Wouldn't report the dishcloth people though unless I actually felt threatened by them or felt they were involved in some criminal activity rather than just selling overpriced tat.

Last night all three gates of the park were firmly chained up.

Not healthy for me if I'm sitting on a goldmine but living on a pittance :))

Which one? The one at ?565 or the one at ?575? Pix of the inside and outside of both houses are on the Winkworths website, btw. I find it worrying from many points of view, but not from a purely selfish point of view :))

Maybe I'll sell up and retire in comfort somewhere cheaper :))

Surely nobody is saying here that the perpetrators of the crime are not to blame. They are pointing out that if the gates had been locked as they are supposed to be (hardly "parties barely connected with it"!!), or if there was better lighting, the crime may well not have happened as it did. What's wrong with that?

UGH :-$ Other possibility is that my wall hangings and cushions were out of use for months last summer due to building/decorating work taking much longer than it should have, so maybe the moths somehow got into them and bred?

Loz Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > They'd just started locking the park after dark - > have they stopped again? > > xxxxxxxx There's a notice on the gate saying it will be locked at dusk, but I have never known it to be. I've raised this on the forum before. Either it should be locked or it should be lit at night. Really sorry to hear about this incident, but unfortunately not surprised, amazed it hasn't happened more often. Maybe now some action will be taken to lock the park - how hard can that be? Five minutes of somebody's time to lock two gates, they're hardly miles apart.

We have just started using Twitter for The Goose Is Out! Quicker than sending zillions of people an email ..... though we don't have many people following us on Twitter yet, so we have to send the email anyway :))

Ulverscroft Road, ?565k - surely they won't get it?? ETA: Bloody hell, there's another one in the road on at ?575k. ::o Maybe I should pay more attention to house prices, I just assumed they were still going down!

Well I went on a killing spree today, I don't normally kill things (except for vine weevils) but I squished a moth that flew out of a BOOK when I opened it, surely they're not going to start eating my books as well???? (6)

I saw him in Exeter in the eighties. Was uncharacteristically silenced. Especially when he brought a friend on stage to demonstrate his (friend's) unfeasibly large balls. :))
