  1. Tragic! I've signed the petition.
  2. During the run-up to a (successful) rather major op a couple of years ago I asked the surgeon how to go about body donation. SHe was delighted and, after giving me the necessary information, said she wouldn't have been able to learn and practise her skills without donated human cadavers. My husband and I both owe a huge debt to the skill of surgeons, and we have signed up for donation as a way of saying 'thank you' to them.
  3. We solved an identical problem by bricking up the window and installing a Velux. It not only gave us lots of light, but a lot of useful wall-space as well.
  4. Catherine at Move Well London would be just the person for you. Have a look at her website http://movewelllondon.com, and/or get in touch with her at catherine@movewelllondon.com.
  5. - and Lordship Lane is pretty treacherous.
  6. It would be interesting to see the contract, wouldn't it?
  7. Tomorrow at 13.00 - 14.00 in the Stone Circle, Hilly Fields, Brockley. The weather promises to be balmy, there's a decent cafe, and lots of space for small people to race around and let off steam. Just bring a mat of some sort, and a smartphone or tablet so that you can donate online. All abilities welcome!
  8. "Academies make me puke." Why?
  9. They're digging up the bedding plants on the Oval today and tomorrow. Lots of lovely bulbs, and perennial daisies, all free to anyone who wants them.
  10. Duly signed, and forwarded to assorted friends.
  11. "However, the new timetable has proved challenging to manage." Why? (They sound surprised!)

  13. I'm surprised no-one's mentioned The George, just off Borough High Street.
  14. It's not impossible to work out what she means, but it certainly isn't easy. A pity, because as several people have said, she makes some good points. I wonder if she would accept an offer of some basic tuition from someone on the forum?
  15. And a bit of punctuation would help, too.
  16. When my daughter was little, and troubled by night-time fears, and I still had my magic powers, I used to enclose her in a magic bubble. She had to lie very still while I slowly and carefully drew the outline of the bubble, taking great care when it came to sealing the two ends together. Like most bubbles it only had a limited life, and had evaporated by morning, but during the night she was invulnerable. I had forgotten all about it, until I learned that, nearly thirty years on, she helps her little nephew to sleep the same way.
  17. Does anyone know what the patient/doctor ratio is?
  18. A qualified plumber can cost between ?60 and ?70 per hour.
  19. The only eyesore in our little back garden is the ugly breezeblock shed at the end of next door's garden. The council have rejected our neighbour's proposal to build a simple two-storey house on the same footprint, in spite of the fact that we had said (in writing and over the phone) that the proposed building would be a great improvement on our current outlook. The grounds for the rejection? The adverse effect on our outlook!
  20. Believe it or not, ToysRUs sell a really good unisex dolls house. It's plain wood, comes with all the necessary furniture and people, and is really cheap.
  21. Dulwich DIY will mix paints to any colour you fancy - including F&B, which is handy.
