Brilliant Especially like 'The Shining' one. I think the statue looks creepy, he looks like Freddie Kruger to me. Just needs a stripey top!

No, you?

He's a wanker anyway!

Piss Off! It was a serious comment, rust must have an 'iron' taste like Blood does.

I can understand what you're saying Cath, because of your work you are all too well aware how things can go. But like you say its a good sign he wants his 'weeties' Lollies are just fantastic, though when mine was little it was ice-pops!

Surely that would only be when the lady is having her period? Or at least around that time?

I suggest it, but it's your call as a mother. There is some risk either way. I think there are no absolutes with this, just a question of taking time out with your partner and weighing up the pro's and con's. Parky jnr has the minimum. If you are going for full spectrum imm then do it in shots spread out over a period rather than close together. Keep clear of fluoride. It's too late for the likes of us but with a clean slate it's worth doing. Don't regulate play, especially creative play. Yeah, I remember you saying this now. The bairn has had all of his recommended jabs but last year I decided against letting him have the swine flu vaccine. I did a lot of reading but the fact that I felt like it had been rushed through the system and approved almost on the back of the media hype, mixed with a strong gut-feeling against it meant that declined the invitation from the surgery for him to go and get it. Inevitably now that it's all flared up in the media again I'm questioning my decision. He's poorly at the moment and last night peaked with a temp of over 39 degrees, hacking cough etc and I've had a horrible couple of days with him being ill. I've just tried to keep my rational head on and treat him with Calpol and fluids and hope it's enough. It's heart-wrenching to see him suffer and wonder if I could have made a wrong decision somewhere down the line. It was rushed through, I think that was revealed in the media a bit later on when everyone calmed down from the hype. Anyway the thousands of deaths predicted never materialised thank god. Chez will know more but my feeling is that Govt are often the worst at dealing with health crisis moments and just do stuff to cover their arses rather than the correct interventions. 39 is high. I remember a couple of years ago Hannah had 40 and we were shitting it, but 3/4 days and she was a right as rain. Children have amazing powers of survival and recovery. I hear what you're saying, there is a lot of pressure about correct behaviour and procedures with regard to a childs health in the media and from other mothers and so on...But I'd take a mother intuition over anything on this planet. Tis so worrying when they are little and poorly Well any age really. Our son was rushed in to hospital last year with kidney problems and I actually felt sick with the worry. When he was little, whatever virus or bug he contracted he always got a really high temperature, which a couple of times resulted in a convulsion. Really scarey at the time, but like you say Cath, just keep your sensible mummy/nursey head on and give regular Calpol, plenty of fluids and keep him cool. Hope the little darling gets better soon. xx

Quite a defensive response tho eh? Noooo not at all, maybe a proud response though. My son is here laughing as I typed it! Only joking mate. It's a great feeling having pride in your children. May the force be with you and your own. Thanks sweetie. Well I do look at our lad and think well, we didnt do so badly did we? 'smug mode'

Pah and Bollox to your books! Our son is all grown up and I'm very proud of him. He's decent, honest, intelligent, has a good sense of humour and good morals too. I was very young when I had him and basically hubby and I didnt have a clue! But we loved and looked after him and taught him respect and always listened to him and made time to do things together. Thats what its all about. We are all very close.

I slept with my Ipod in my ears for a few hours yesterday which made me wander was it a proper sleep? Was my brain really rested as I assume it was having to work to digest the music?

Anyone watched 'Episodes?'

How on earth can that backside be real?

Read the thread title and clicked on it to say No, Torquay are a 'true' united then saw they were on the list

To...Luckyluke and Paul123

Nail on head. I'm on the phone talking shite with clients/suppliers trying to build relationships(I'd imagine this might be similar with you, Stevie) Same thing when I get home too. The missus has spent the day with the nippers and all she wants to do is talk when I get in the door. All I want is a bit of quiet. Yeah I find it very trying and I'm one of those people who if we are out having a meal with friends/family or any situation really I always seem to be the one who has to fill any awkward silences when the conversation lags or I seem to be the one who has to think of a new subject to discuss....it makes me seem a chatty outgoing person, when in reality Im not, I like to be quiet.

I have to do so much of it in my job that its beccome a chore. Sometimes I'm so quiet at home after work that hubby thinks Im in a mood, but its not that, Im just sick of talking!

Always loved the lyrics to 'In my Darkest Hour' By Megadeth In my hour of need, Ha, no, you were not there And though I reached out for you, You wouldn't lend a hand Through the darkest hour, Grace did not shine on me Feels so cold, very cold, No one cares for me... Did you ever think I get lonely? Did you ever think that I needed love? Did you ever think to stop thinking? You're the only one that I'm thinking of You'll never know how hard I tried To find my space and satisfy you too Things will be better when I'm dead and gone Don't try to understand. Knowing you, I'm probably wrong But oh, how I lived my life for you, Still you'd turn away Now, as I die for you, My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name All these years,I thought I was wrong, Now I know it was you Raise you head, raise your face, your eyes, Tell me who you think you are I walk, I walk alone To the promised land There's a better place for me But it's far, far away Everlasting life for me In a perfect world But I gotta die first, Please god send me on my way [solo - Dave] Time has a way of taking time The loneliness is not only felt by fools Alone, I call to ease the pain, Yearning to be held by you Alone, so alone, I'm lost, Consumed by the pain [solo - Dave] The pain, the pain, the pain Won't you hold me again You just laughed, ha-ha, bitch My whole life is work built on the past, The time has come when all things shall pass, This good thing passed away... (I've sung that so many times Im word perfect)! Also love the lyrics to 'Comfortably Numb' Pink Floyd. Hello? Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone at home? Come on, now, I hear you're feeling down. Well I can ease your pain Get you on your feet again. Relax. I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts Can you show me where it hurts? There is no pain you are receding A distant ship, smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying. When I was a child I had a fever My hands felt just like two balloons. Now I've got that feeling once again I can't explain you would not understand This is not how I am. I have become comfortably numb. (solo) I have become comfortably numb. O. K. Just a little pin prick. There'll be no more aaaaaaaaah! But you may feel a little sick. Can you stand up? I do believe its working good. That'll keep you going through the show Come on it's time to go. There is no pain you are receding A distant ship, smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying. When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown, The dream is gone. I have become comfortably numb. I admire Nick Caves lyrics too.

Stevie-I LOVED your 'hairdresser' rant I'm lucky, my hairdresser is my mate, shes done my hair for many years. I like to sit quietly and relax, shes used to that now. On the subject of small talk though, I've noticed lately in Sainsburys the checkout people try and make conversation, its so obviously off a list they've been told to say, I hate it! Its so robotic. 'How are you?' 'Hello, have you had a nice day?' 'Do you need help packing?' 'Have a nice day/evening' I got my own back oneday as I nipped in quick to get a few bits after my Aunties funeral (she was a Geordie by the way) Got to the till....'Hello, are you having a nice day? Done anything nice?' Me-NO, just buried my Auntie' That shut her up!!! I also dislike it when they have people from various charitys offering to pack for you, its embarrassing. I like to pack my own shopping as when they do it its all over the place and the bread is all squashed and so on...But on the other hand I dont like to appear rude, so now I say no thanks. I prefer to do my own packing as I'm a control freak but I will still put some money in your collection pot...(if i think its a worthy cause that is)!

Couldn't agree more. And I'd stick Chandhok in there from a technical POV too. His knowledge is absolutely fucking unbelievable. I hear they've given Jordan a more prominent role as 'lead analyst'. I'll be using the red button to stick the Five Live commentary on then - I wish EJ would just fuck off. What the fuck could Eddie Jordan analyse? Apart from how amazing he thinks Eddie Jordan is? Although to be fair to him while he does talk a large amount of shite about himself he does have a knack of finding out stuff. Remember when he suggested Schumacher was coming back after the last race of 2009? In better news it's going to be broadcast in HD this year I was just going to post I'd give Chandhok a role, he is amazing. He's an F1 encyclopedia! EJ spoils the whole show, he makes me cringe

Oii snakey Im not a Hypochondriac Far from it! Im the one whocares for others! I have been ill since beginning July last year. But just gone back to work now. But yes, I do hate the fucking Grockles

Had the exact same experiene. The sun is cool.

Well I'm just glad he's gone, he completely spoilt the F1 for me. I also would have David Croft as no 1 with MB as no 2. (God, I lurve MB)

I cant believe you didnt just go to the hosp anyway Infact If I'd have been your wife I'd probably have called 999!!

Good luck to the lad born here in Torbay Shame he never played for Torquay.
