Smarting Buttocks Reference:KaffyBaffy I didn't count the ones I got... but it says two things that the ones I did get were all from the 80s. 1. Album covers don't mean the same as they did in the days of vinyl 2. I'm old. Me too. [ more ]

SazBomb Reference: I have been almost swept off my feet on a number of occasions by swooping cyclists. They don't even ring a warning bell these days. push 'em over [ more ]
brisket I am pleased that the cyclist in this case was (thanks to the camera) able to prosecute the van driver and win the case. As far as I know it remains illegal for people to cycle on footpaths and pavements. So how is it then, that in my area about 95% of cyclists use footpaths and pavements - even the one in front of the police station. This has gone on for years. It seems this is one law which is not strongly enforced. I have been almost swept off my feet on a number of occasions by swooping... [ more ]

Looks like the Aussies are in for more trouble
FM Former Member
Yellow Rose From Sky News, very worrying. Australia has begun evacuating thousands of people from its northeastern coast ahead of a cyclone that could rival Hurricane Katrina in its destructive power. Cyclone Yasi has been upgraded to a Category 4 storm. Forecasters say it is likely to further strengthen and could generate winds of up to 175 mph before it hits land on Wednesday morning. An official warning has been issued saying it poses a "serious threat" to communities in north Queensland. More than... [ more ]

starbug15 Excellent point smarting buttocks. And I agree with you Issy: it's insane, the amount that footballers are paid. I can't see the justification in it. But then again, you could also say that film stars are not worthy of their £25 million to £40 million that they get, because if they weren't paid so much, it would be cheaper to get into the cinema. Then again, the actors that are paid a few tens of millions are usually ones who have been doing it for 15-20 years or more, and have earned their... [ more ]

Job centres!
zazzzazz
SazBomb Reference: , the staff do seem to be human beings rather than jumped up twats. Reference: I agree with Carnelian that they don't seem to treat people like scum like they did in the 1980s They were jumped up twats that treated me like scum 5 years years ago Hopefully they are better now, what with more people being unemployed... I would like to go back and see that woman who told me my expectations were unrealistic though [ more ]
starbug15 I have mixed views. I agree with Carnelian that they don't seem to treat people like scum like they did in the 1980s (I was unemployed for half a year or so then,) but then again, they weren't helpful with me at all , when I went 2 years ago. Friendly, but not helpful. I had been made redundant from a firm after 10 years, (this was mid 2008,) and got 10 grand redundancy. Because of this I was not allowed to claim state benefits. I was unemployed (of course,) but not claiming anything. [ more ]
PeterCat The staff these days are (mostly) fine. It's the policies they have to enact that make being on the dole so especially depressing. [ more ]

starbug15 Hiya back Marguerita Aww, that is a shame when someone deregisters. I guess they have to ask the mods to do it for them. I hope Suzi is OK. I can only think something must be wrong, otherwise, if someone was just busy, and wasn't planning on posting for a while, why not just put a 'not posting for a while' type thread.. Oh well, I am sure she has her reasons. She does imply that she did it before though .. so maybe she will return. If you're reading this Suzi, don't leave it too long. [ more ]

kattymieoww RE the fish campaign,stocks of certain fish, cod,haddock etc are low,however allowing fishermen to fish in the same waters for "Sustainable" other fish,means that they are all caught in their nets and quotas which where introduced to help the declining stocks are worthless as all the rarer fish etc are caught as well,and returned to the sea dead .The fact that Fearnley wassname wants to be able to use the dead rarer fish,will just mean that either way,the stocks will decline.It's not...

Karma_ I agree with Croc. You have a case to argue against the money back guarantee. The only problem will be unless it's in very, very small print somewhere at the checkout about the voucher thingy, even so though, it should be clear enough to see, you shouldn't have to go searching for it. If you get hassle, first stop is probably Citizen's Advice, then Trading Standards. Also, a very strong letter (mentioning Watchdog and National Press) is usually quite good. And bypass customer services, go... [ more ]

Searching for posts in the Refine List box
El LoroEl Loro
El Loro It looks according to the Social Strata help forum that work is continuing on this search facility. They hope to have something in place in the next but one update sometime at the end of February/beginning of March. The search parameters will look something like the advanced search facility in Google and this picture has been posted there. I do not know if this will be the same for Gagajoyjoy - but it could well be similar. [ more ]
El Loro Tooth Fairy, I posted my suggestion over on the Social Strata help forum and have had this reply from Brian Lenz, one of their software engineers. The current behavior that you describe of only original posts being searched when using refine list is correct and intentional. Since all the feature does is refine the list of topics/blogs, if we included replies in that search, it wouldn't be useful to include replies since the replies would not be highlighted in the list in any manner. We do... [ more ]
Tooth Fairy El Loro - what you are proposing then is a search facility that works? That seems sensible. [ more ]

Former Member In the book entitled, "Private Sex Lives of our Rulers are Not That Important". It's a best seller in numerous countries around the world but seemingly not ours. As to saying, how could he win his libel case. BTW, I have a lot of time for Tommy. A lot. And very little (ie zero) for News Corporation. I just strongly suspect he over-reached himself in his fight against the enemy and would have had greater success by taking a deep breath and counting to 10. [ more ]

Tennis - Australian Open

Cold Sweat Reference: Andy Murray says the only way he can respond to suffering a third Grand Slam final defeat is by working hard to ensure he does better next time. The Briton lost 6-4 6-2 6-3 to Serbia's Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open to miss out on a first major title. And Murray said he felt "better" than in the aftermath of last year's loss to Roger Federer in Melbourne. "I want to keep working hard, try and improve," he said. "It's going to be tough, for sure, for a few days." Britain... [ more ]

The return of BB
FM Former Member
Former Member Oooh, I hope it comes back. [ more ]
Smarting Buttocks I don't trust Richard Desmond. He manipulated the editors of his paper (denied by him as expected - proved in court by the Tom Boywer case), I suspect his version of BB will also be heavily be manipulated by him and his desire for an exclusive story for one of his publications. [ more ]
Former Member Reference: I'm with you, Issy. It was sad to see Big Brother go, but I got used to the idea, and now I'm not so sure I want to get sucked back in. Its a waste of energy getting cross about very silly people And if Davina is presenting it then I definitely won't be watching it. I could cope perhaps if it was Emma Willis and George Lamb. I loved the fact that George clearly took the mickey. [ more ]
