pedropowers asked for opinions. He got mine. You don't have to like it.

Michael, what doesn't exist? The 'everybody's anxiety' you refer to started as 'everybody's curiousity'. My 'insensitive' remark was made prior to the other posters making their points. I subsequently highlighted that I know all about having a child mugged but that my greater worry is that someone would use a sword to get what they wanted. Are you calling me a bully? If so on what grounds?

Not so much a laugh but a smile........................ --- A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and explaining stress management to an audience; with a raised glass of water, and everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, 'half empty or half full?'..... she fooled them all... "How heavy is this glass of water?", she inquired with a smile Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz. She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "and that's the way it is with stress. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on." "As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden - holding stress longer and better each time practiced. So, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night... pick them up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment. Relax, pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy it and the now 'supposed' stress that you've conquered!" Furthermore....... 1 * Accept the fact that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue! 2 * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. 3 * Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it. 4 * Drive carefully... It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.. 5 * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague 6 * If you lend someone ? 20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.. 7 * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. 8 * Never buy a car you can't push. 9 * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on. 10 * Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance. 11 * Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late. 12 * The second mouse gets the cheese. 13 * When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane. 14 * Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live. 15 * You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person. 16 * Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once. 17 * We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box. 18 * A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour. 19 * Have an awesome day and know that someone thought about you today. 20 * It was me, your friend! *Save the earth..... It's the only planet with chocolate !*

Tom if you are going to steal tomatoes it's not a good idea to advertise it.

Is it? I think it's cheap and demeaning. I realise in this country I'm probably in a minority. What happens though when they are not trendy? I think David Beckham is a disgrace and sets a terrible example.

Marigolds and slater, I'm the father of a boy who was the victim of an attempted mugging in Dulwich Park. Indeed, kids tried to mug him several times returning from school. He also had his bike stolen. I'm amazed all you appear to be concerned about is what was stolen. I'd like to know how someone can wander around DP with a sword?

TT, how do persuade a cat to go to a pub? Had he been drinking?

Jeez, I'd my money on you Lady D.

Robbing kids of what? Not sweeties?

You can take the man out of the bog.................

I can't Thomas. I don't buy newspapers because of the trees felled for the production of newsprint. I'm a bit surprised you're encouraging it!

Confused again Mick?

Do YOU think he is planning on SECRETLY turning everyone into a VEGAN? How will he do that? Surely it is possible for vegans and carnivores to find SOME common ground when it comes to certain practices such as the PRODUCTION METHODS of FG?

Is there a purpose in life for cherries? I just don't get them.

Reminds me of last w/end when I was obstructed by a lady driver doing a 17 point turn!
