I would have thought you would most likely find huge hedges in suburbia. They have far more space and more provincial minds. One case in Lincolnshire was a courtroom battle for several years to get the hedge cut, finally the neighbours got their way and cut it down, only to find a second huge hedge planted a metre inside the first one. I think it's unlikely for this subject to create much hilarity, as the perpetrators of such hedges are such selfish cretins, and their sparring partners are whingeing anal retentives. I wish you luck with your project, I fear you will need it to maintain your ratings.

You might do worse than talk to mlteenie he repairs bikes for bikers and shops hire him too, he has no axe to grind on which is the best as he doesn't sell them, but he knows everything you could want to know. My input would be, ride as many as you can to see which fits you best. get large wheels, they corner, brake, and ride better than small. Take the lightest bike you can afford, you will only pay for it once but it will repay you every time you attempt a gradient. Hire mlteenie for half an hour to give it a service, he will help to set it up to suit you, plus excellent advice.

Good for you!

Leave the freezer closed and it will survive for a day or so.

Hey guys is there any vacancies at LandFillFilms.com? Did you here the one about those comical cigarettes, Fences & Hedges?

I consider the link to constitute a hijacking, except it didn't work.:))

Slow ideas day? We thought about it, came up with hedges being a totally hilarious subject, and now we're clean out of ideas. Some one had a wonderfully funny story about sewage, but it was crap. Then we had one about a library, but it got shushed. Hedge funds might be a laugh unless you've put your money in one.

I've just started a thread about one recent leak (concerning the involvement of British police in the case of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann) in the lounge wrote Sue. I fail to see why your obsession with the dead wood or 'old news' mccann story should give you the right to hijack the wikileaks thread.

All the celebs who need a 'fix of publicity' are giving lumps of dough to make up the bail money for Assange.

SMBS lordship lane have the largest chestnuts that I have seen this year.

1. Measure the door frame top and bottom, and side to side, all in millimetres and draw a rectangle, The door will need the width of a 50 pence piece deducting on both sides, and top and bottom. This allows for swelling. 2. Buy the quality door and get it home soonest. 3. Search for a recommended joiner or carpenter and allow a days pay ?120 to ?200 to cut and fit. Offer an extra forty quid as an inducement to leave his present job to fix your door. 4. Have a deadlock fitted about 18 inches from the floor as this prevents them from booting the door in. 5. Have a second lock, a quality yale type lock fitted at around shoulder level. 6. Have a chain fitted, and a spy hole. 7. The burglars frequently return to give it another go, so what you have fitted had better look awesome enough to leave it alone and do your neighbours place instead.

Womanofdulwich thought of changing your posting name to Dot!

Film him and play it back.

It might be useful to mention to biker's to take a photo of your machine, to post on a forum such as this for people to take a look at it so they know what to look for, I know it's a long shot but there are thousands of people who use this forum. We can only look for it when we know what it's like. Sorry to hear your bike has been knicked by some no good thieving wretch who should lose a hand.

Dear Students, I am writing to inform you of the principle of which loans work. If you ever have to repay a loan, or mortgage please make a note of the following. All loans should be paid back at the minimum amount, which means the smallest payment permitted. The loans should be repaid over the longest possible period. So all you anal retentive types who have to have a tidy desk, and a neat pencil case, you will need to live with the untidyness of not clearing the loan at the earliest opportunity. The reason for this procedure is to allow the continuing inflation which consecutive governments insist is 3 or 4% but you mum and dad knows it is more like 30% on quantative easing years and something closer to half that during non-quantative easing years. The wonderful thing about this inflation is that it erodes the value of your loans. Yes, that is correct it actually nibbles away continuously to lower its repayment value. If you can imagine your loan as a mountain of sand and as the wind blows it reduces your mound but it needs time to do so. The longer you can live with this lot hanging over your head, the more it shrinks. It will never disappear, but when you are grumpy old gits, like this scribe, you will be able to clear it off with a couple of weeks overtime. For example when I was your age I could buy 4 gallons of petrol for a pound. Fast forward that concept to when you all reach the leaky bladder stage, a gallon of petrol will be a hundred quid. Your earnings will be a quarter of a million per annum, and your loans will be a mere fart in a collander. Yours faithfully, Dickensman

Hitchcock's 'Psycho' when Anthony Perkins spins the chair round with his dead, stuffed, mother in it. Sadly for those whom enjoy such scenes, it just isn't as scary on the small screen.

come.........

A merry Christmas to you too Lady Meadow.

Did you know that Harold Wilson whilst acting prime minister, was once citizen arrested, by some character who accused him (Wilson) of allowing in to the country unprecidented amounts of foreign immigrants.

I stand corrected a sygnificant trading partner then. Does it seem to you a rather precarious position loaning to a bankrupt state when we are teetering on the edge of the same bankruptcy precipice.

There there Sue you'll be up and around before the next snows have melted. Now have a few stiff tots of something and when you're pissed you wont know if you're spinning because of the bug or the booze, it's almost like a cure except for the resultant hangover.

There has been students in Sweden paying back debts incurred for higher education for years, their system seems to work as explained by one ex-student working as a waiter on board a hotel ship I stayed on during the seventies, so there must be a way for pay as you go education to work. He was working in a menial job because he had debts to clear incurred by his degree. The trick yet to be learned is how to enable people to pay their debts and live, whilst working in a low paid position.

Trollope!
