Re: End of term

I remember the dreadful occasion in the LV1, when I, and a few other girls who were deemed overweight, were summoned to the Infirmary, weighed, and had appointments made with Dr Jory. I had this too.....but because they considered me to be underweight. It continued when I was at Horsham too. I also...

Re: Politics

Did anyone see the boy Hilto's remarkable appearance on Newsnight this week? What a performer. The pale blue top to match the melting pale blue eyes. The "Aw shucks, I'm so hurt for the plight of the ordinary guy" demeanour. The squirming shoulders to match the bleeding heart sentiments. ...

Re: Politics

Re: General Election: Old Blue candidates

Nigel (for this really is a one-man band) like all populists is good at identifying problems and doesn't shy away from them, but he has no realistic solutions.

Re: General Election: Old Blue candidates

Charismatic, brilliantly un-pc Nigel Farage. Got FAR more personality than the 3 'main' party leaders put together. May not agree with everything he stands for, but at least he is says what he thinks- drinks and smokes on camera- and blow everyone who doesn't like it..VOTE UKIP!

Re: Residential assessment?

Oh, this is really not a good day for the Post Office to be so short staffed that they've given my round to a new person to do once she's finished her other new out in the sticks round.... :( Please will someone just put me out of my misery!
