This will be my last post here. I have enjoyed many happy hours here and would like to thank everyone for their advice, support, funnies and well, just for being there. So, why leave? Well, I hate to bring the subject up again, but I found the blatant bullying of another member by some of...

Morning all. I've just finished a night shift at the place I do voluntary work for and had not a wink of sleep - busy all night long. My body clock is telling me it is time to be awake, my eyes and brain are telling me to climb up the wooden hill to Bed-fordshire. Argh, I hate this feeling. I...

Tonight I spent the evening at A & E (ER) with a friend, who's new partner had just beaten her up. Luckily nothing serious - just bruises - except her self-esteem crushed, her confidence at rock-bottom, feeling humiliated. A previous partner of hers used to regularly beat her up - she used to...

Well, don't I feel a fool. I trotted off to work this morning, got logged on and started doing some work. I thought it was a bit strange that I was the only one in the office. In walks my boss at 10am asking me why I was there! He had just popped in to collect his e-mails. Yes, silly me is due...

Happy New Year to all those in Australia and New Zealand!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/2608655.stm Just watched this on the news. Bizarre. I thought that cloning etc was illegal in the US.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas Day. This morning I am off do my yearly visit to the MiL, oh joy. We have managed to get out of staying the night, as we "can't get a cat-sitter" - he he. So, what pressies did you get?

Me and my skin (skin and blister = sister) phone each other up and screech "I saw three ships go sailing by" in falsetto at each other on Christmas morning. I wouldn't mind but I am 36 and she is 40. I adore The Coventry Carol. It is a lovely old traditional carol, song in four parts...

Am I just a slattern? I have never bathed my cats (except Moogie - after an experience with a Hartz product). Should I? They don't smell, just "cat" smell. They are short-haired moggies, so won't be going to a "show". Both have soft, dense, shiny fur. Should I bathe my cats? If so, how often?

Alf cost me ten pounds 6 and a half years ago, but that included him being neutered. Ronnie cost fifty pounds 2 years ago, but that included her being neutured, chipped, and her first two sets of vaccines. Both from the RSPCA. Now that is inflation!

For the past 4 months I've been temping at the local University, getting paid very well as a temp. About three weeks ago I moved departments to start working as the project administrator for a small team, working closely with the Project Director. Initially I had my doubts about working within...

I saw some terrible scenes of the forest fires raging around Sydney on the news this morning. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asi...ic/2546307.stm Hope everyone is ok.

Just switched on the news - earthquake traps young children in a kindergarten. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/2380857.stm

20. Can't stick their heads out of Windows '95. 19. Fetch command not available on all platforms. 18. Hard to read the monitor with your head cocked to one side. 17. Too difficult to "mark" every website they visit. 16. Can't help attacking the screen when they hear "You've Got Mail." 15. Fire...

Found on a strange site..... QUESTION: If, when you drop a buttered piece of bread, it drops butter side down, and a cat always lands on its feet, what would happen if you took a piece of buttered bread, strapped it on the back of a cat (butter side up) and dropped it from a great height...

I'm sure this has been posted before, but I think it is funny. THOU SHALT not pull the phone cord out of the back of the computer. THOU SHALT not unroll all the toilet paper off the roll. THOU SHALT not sit in front of the television or monitor as thou art not transparent. THOU SHALT not...

Remember, remember the fifth of November, Gunpowder treason and plot. We see no reason Why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot I know you celebrate Holloween in the States, but what about Bonfire Night on the 5th of November? The Gunpowder Plot occured in 1605, so way before the...

Some funnies from a wonderful site I've just found: http://www.rinkworks.com/stupid/ These are true stories from tech support people around the world. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Tech Support: "What type of computer do you have?" Customer: "A white...

Strange behaviour from my two..... Came home from work today to find Alf and Ronnie, who have lived together happily for nearly three years, growling and hissing and doing all the proper threatening behaviour (spine fur up). This is not the normal play fighting that they indulge in. After...

1. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't. 2. McBride fell 12 storeys, hitting the pavement like a hefty bag filled with vegetable soup. 3. Her hair glistened in the rain like nose hair after a sneeze. 4. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like...
