I once went sea fishing ( brave girl that I am )


I caught a large Codling and then started pulling a Mackerel in. The guy on the boat I was with took it off the hook and threw it back.

Now, that didn't bother me but my darling lady can't face eating one since.


Put her right off it has.

I have noticed 'bee miles' on jars of honey now. Agree, it has that effect on me too.

What Mr Ben says. Also that gruesome fraud "Lady" Gaga is putting me off music. Not just her own cheap derivative doggerel. All music. Stop her -NOW.

I have never been able to open a can of baked beans (which I lurve) without thinking of a news story years ago where someone opened up a can of beans and tipped out not only the little golden/red ball of yumness but a perfectly cooked mouse http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/wuerg/vomit-smiley-019.gif

I used to quite like Bright Eyes (tha Conor Oberst band, not the Art Garfunkel song, though I have a soft spot for it, loving Watership Down as a kid) until I went to a live concert.

His fans were singularly the least humoured most self regarding bunch of mopes ever and Coner, far from being the witty ironic satirist i though he was, was just as much of a self regarding, humourless mope.


It was about eight years before I was able to put on any of his songs again.

I occasionally indulge these days; a twonk he may be but he does write a good song now and again.

I like cycling- but its those hills that put me off- whenevre i head south and hit crystal palace hill I seem to decide it is better to cycle to the bottom of the hill and back 3 times rather than cycle up it ..............

Just watching Northern Exposure on DVD, but in searching out where it was filmed , I discovered that the spectacular and sexually charged Maggie is now a host of Tea Party events who says that Obama stole God from her children.


Ho hum....

    • Those studies are ten years old. I wonder if there is anything more recent. Also, I haven't looked at them, but from what you say,  the studies apparently asked people if THEY thought they were "racially prejudiced". For several  reasons, on the face of it that isn't likely to produce an accurate indication of the level of actual racial prejudice in that sample. Also, how was "racial prejudice" defined? And "racist attitudes"?
    • I'd say hold on to it in case you need it. There may be a time when it helps you get around more easily. You'd know if that's easily done, if you've got somewhere to park it etc   
    • I scarcely use my ancient (1998!) non ULEZ compliant car any more, which I have had for nearly 20 years. It is presently  used mainly to take bulky  things up to my allotment or the tip, occasional weekends away,  festivals or  camping trips, and sometimes giving people lifts to and from stations. But that's mainly because I have to pay the ULEZ charge every time I use it. It has been very reliable, is  in good nick and passes its MOT every year. Now, after months without use apart from opening the door to put things into the car, a new battery bought last September is dead and won't charge 😭 I realise this is my own stupid fault for not realising that you shouldn't let a battery completely discharge, and I should have gone for a drive or charged the battery before. I have hung onto the car because I am over the age limit for car share  club type things and car hire companies (though my daughter has just found a website with car hire schemes for ancient people). Also I am not used to driving more modern cars! I looked into getting a (second hand)  replacement when ULEZ came in, and it just all seemed like too much hassle. Now I don't know whether it's worth shelling out for yet another new battery (DUH) . The one I got is still  under guarantee, but only for "manufacturing faults" and I imagine this won't apply in this case. But if I don't I will have to somehow dispose of the car, which also needs at least one tyre inflating, for which I need a working battery 😭 If you don't have a car, how do you manage, especially if like me you are very old (but reasonably mobile, touch wood!) ?  And/or do you have any advice on whether I should keep the car, or if not what to do with it? 
    • LOL, no Sue, definitely Musk Turtles.
