I don't remember the 180 going to Lower Sydenham...

I left for vacation and the forum has some new posts so I can post on the threads again!

All this talk of dating agencies reminds me of the Tommy Cooper story................

2 aerials met on a roof and fell in love. They got married - the ceremony was rubbish but the reception was brilliant

See the random pictures thread...

Routemasters are Proper Buses.

BRING THEM BACK!!!!

Was selling stuff at a bootfair today. I went for a wander, and saw a violin

I asked how much it was, but he said it was half size and probably a bit small for me , but was £30.

My parents have promised that when I'm grade 8 on the flute, and grade 5 on the piano, I can learn the violin.

Only 6 more grades to go overall!

Toe nails are metallic silvery blue now lol

I love looking at everyone's painted toenails in the summer! My daughter's are metallic turquoise-green at the moment, and look fabulous!

I seem to have accidentally learned to play a bit of something interesting while messing around trying to improvise...

Bahahahah!

Solari hasn't changed his signature yet (I stole the spammer crown).

I'm starting work tomorrow.

Good luck!
Where is your job?

I wish they didn't make programmes like 'The Street' ... how can they even pretend to know exactly how it would be if that actually happened to a soldier?!?! And the impact on them and their family?!!?

I'm just working at an ice cream parlour, but I'm really shy, and I always worry I'm doing things worng, so I'm really nervous anyway. I have no initiative, cause I'm scared if I do things I haven't been told to, I'll mess it all up, or it'll be something I wasn't supposed to do or whatever. Everyone always says that you have to be outgoing, and take initiative in new jobs so..!

It sounds fun Don't worry... it'll be fine and you'll be great... Let me know how it goes?

Will do!

You'll be fine Good luck!

Some people should really, just leave this forum....

My computer working for ages after not working for ages is way too tempting. I should so be in bed... what's the betting it dies again tomorrow!

a month till GCSE results I really want to know my maths results because I revised like mad in the 2 weeks before it and I want to know how much it helped.

I don't understand how A level maths people can cope with the jump between GCSE and AS.

Me neither - I didn't have to do AS and I really wish that you lot had the pleasure of knowing year 12 the way we did (or lower sixth as it was then). My son's in the same position as you, and I hate knowing that he'll have to hit the ground running in September because the work starts straight away (and he's hopeless at coursework deadlines). He's already got some design stuff to do over the summer and it just feels like nagging to remind him about it






Good luck, and don't eat all the ice cream

Yesterday reminded me of how much I miss going to Somerset most years...

You should just go whenever you feel like it

I'm going again on 3rd October

The weather might not be as nice then

I'll just bring an umbrella

And a raincoat

How cheery of you

The Milverton venue's roof doesn't leak, so I think I'll be OK!

That's good. Leaking roofs are never good

Tell me about it.

My random thought is that I think I might be able to finish something today.

Edit: and, no, it's not my thesis.

It was my second forums anniversary yesterday and I didn't realise.

What a two years they've been.

Well done Sarah, youve done a year less than me but are ahead on posts!

Happy 2nd Anniversary Sarah

That would be about 700 posts consisting entirely of rubbish, I think.

I was refering to the extra ones. But give me some credit, I don't think any more than about 5500 can be rubbish. I have said *some* helpful things in my time here.

I think that you say lots of helpful and useful things

- your recorder and bell advice is always very helpful Sarah

My supervisor just came into the office and went "my sister-in-law is on that roof!"

Reminds me of Milhauds 'Le boeuf sur le toit'

Well that's....er...different!

It's the hospital's helicopter pad, but still...

I hope his sister-in-law was working there rather than being a patient in the helicopter.

I'm seriously not a good person to ask for bell advice! I'm having having serious problems ringing treble for anything more complicated than plain hunt, never mind one of the bells that actually does anything.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The window cleaners are here! One minute you're happily browsing the internet in the privacy of your home, and the next minute an army of liquid-happy labourers has turned up and started soaking your windows and the surrounding area whilst peering in to see what's going on. They discuss pool parties and spirits as they manifest themselves on your premises, taking note of how mega-untidy your house is and the fact that you really dislike washing up regularly. Proper disses my policy that it's safe to walk round unclad if you're home alone, not that I tend to...

These aren't your average window cleaners, either. These are the cutting edge in domestic sci-fi and have a fancy plumbing system in the back of their van that squirts water up to, and sometimes through, the upstairs windows, so that climbing ladders to reach the windows is a thing of the past. They use rather abrasive-seeming brushes that are connected up to this system. Upon their departure, it will appear to an outsider that a monsoon has recently blown o'er...

I'm not sure whether the new system that washes the upstairs windows is as efficient as the window-cleaner up a ladder, but I'd far rather fling back the curtains and be faced by just a brush on the end of a hose, than a grinning window-cleaner

So would I.

We're off on holiday tomorrow, so I shan't be posting for a fortnight. Looking forward to reading all I've missed when I return, including Sarah123's recorder result - best of luck, Sarah!

Have fun, BerkshireMum! Are you going anywhere exciting?
