FF I am so very sorry for yours & your partners loss & sorry as well that you had bad personal treatment at the hospital to cope with on top of it all. I hope you have the support of your friends and family & wish you all the best. I know it won't compensate in any way but I am sending you a virtual hug & lots of love.

Awww Piglet don't worry. I don't think you should retract your statement. It was sweet.
My friend who is a little prone to drink n'dial once phoned an ex boyfriend after several drinks.... only she had dialed the wrong number because she was plastered. When the man on the other end of the line said sorry love, I really don't know who you are she thought it was the ex being an ar**h*** and started screaming down the phone at him saying how dare you, you've been inside me ( well actually she said something even more graphic than that)! Was totally hilarious the next day when she realised what she'd done and it actually wasn't the ex, but a stranger. So hey things could be worse!

Anyway where's Richmond with threads of hunting, fire & caves? I was looking forward to it.

LOL @ Richmond
I am looking forward witnessing the 'butching up' of the forum.

I am very interested that you perceive 'Heat' to be a 'female' media - I could say something about cultural norms & gender sterotyping.....

This is brilliant DJW!
Do you feel your leggins played even a small role ?

I went out and bought 2 bags of sweets & choccie coins & snow men ( bit early I know, but Asda's finest were a bargin). Anyway not one single knock at the door last night & this was after listening to a report on R4 about the increase of trick or treaters and police having to lay on more staff.
My boyf and I happily tucked into a whole bag of sweets last night as a result.

Actually Golfpro - you're right about Guy Fawkes - thats wierd isn't it, but not sure it's to do with Labour policy?!!!

Has anyone ever been to Lewis bonfire on the South Coast?

Congratulations on your endnote victory!

I have been very poor at keeping my library updated & know I have got to spend a least a whole day or more even in the near future updating it...

i thought DanB had a girlf?

DJW have you been wearing your 'leggins of love' ?
The mysterious MrSam can not resist you in your lycra surely.
Think of them as a sexual weapon with mysterious powers next time you pass him ....

Aww, sorry to hear about the supervision - but perhaps will mean that you have a fantastic date. Hope it goes well. Keep us posted.

oh yay - I love a bit of romance.
Good luck JoJo, Good Luck Chris

successful abstracts may be presented at the forthcoming conference "Lessons in Love",
Keynote speaker 'JoJo', other tba.

DJW -
Please report your progress by the e.o the week so we can arrange supervision.

Briefly state any relevant, new, background material unsual methodology issues in the report. Your abstract should be no longer than 200 words.

Yes & touch them incidently or casually when you are talking - like just brush their arm, or put a hand on their shoulder, but just for a second. Also hair flicking and slightly tipping your head to oneside when talking.

Leggins Rule OK.

Aha! I was waiting for artistformally known as Mia & the mention of Alan Rickman!

Yes - what do you think about him as Snape? Sexy on no?

For me the seminal Rickman moment is him carrying Kate Winslett out of the rain in Sense & Sensibility.
