So Australia is suffering from de-population in many areas, and has launched an ad-campaign aimed at convincing British women that the place really is just as great as in their soaps.


All well and good until they see one of these in their garden eh?

Say what you want about this green and pleasant land, but at least we don't have those bastads to deal with!


Update - Taxi driver wisdom, I challenge all to find a better link this week (a quick tip, you will probably fail)

Failure. It's underated. If you can shrug your shoulders and settle it's cape comfortably about you, then self-acceptance and peace will be yours.


I've just looked at the fingers that typed the above, and wondered about the profundity contained therein.

Considering everything, it's as profound a piece of philosophy as you're going to get in the 21st century.

On here, tonight at, let me see 25 past 11. I mean what do you want, Bertrand fucking Russell?

    • Hi everyone, we are trying to finslise our decision for enrolling our son for 3+ from September and currently considering Dulwich Prep or Herne Hill. We like both and appreciate there is no right or wrong answer but what we like about HH is great focus on early years and also being coed. However if we can avoid the 7+ stress then prefer to do that. Dulwich Prep is closer but the difference is not significant. we know children are very active and busy in DP and they have great facilities, but unlike HH, we don’t know much about their focus on personal development and emotional intelligence, etc! Also not sure about long-term impact of being in boys only school. Difficult decision for us and we appreciate feedback from parents if you can share please.    thank you
    • Yeah that was their old policy. Their new policy is to force you to have a water meter and if you refuse they put you on a punitively high tariff which effectively forces you to have one. I was doing well with my policy of polite resistance which was to say yes fine I'll have one fitted but then not actually book an appointment or cancel the appointments they made. But then I was persuaded that it would be much cheaper anyway. 
    • Lots of lovely lilac shrubs in flower at the moment. Would anyone consider giving me a cutting? It would involve digging out a basal off shoot, roots and all. I'd love one for my new garden but I'm so broke that I have to fill it with plants the slow way!
    • You are welcome to have mine for free. I was just about to post! Three panels - 6ft by 5ft - weathered/natural on one side and painted brown on the other.
