The Locker Room

Following on from some remarks NeeNaw put in the Applying with a history of depression thread, where he recounted a rather gruesome experience, I wondered how you cope with such matters. I get very vivid dreams, almost like watching/taking part ina film, though not always so logical. I would be very afraid that if I had such nasty experienxces, it would come out in my dreams.

not to my taste but the current trend this year in the "must have" category seems to be birds within birds It serves 125, takes eight hours to cook and is stuffed with 12 different birds ... now that really IS a Christmas dinner and if that is not a big enough show then you can gild the lily (or turkey) as well Puts my cheese sandwich plan to shame!

Welcome to this year's Christmas Party. There is no such thing as an off topic post in here. Just enjoy yourself and be as silly as you want. The idea, though, is to be happy so anybody fighting will be ejected. Help yourself to a drink, sit down, and enjoy yourself.

I can receive Scandinavian TV channels and this Danish one for an electrical outlet called Fleggaard has recently been shown, in which they are promoting an offer on Siemens' washing machines. It has caused something of a stir even in liberal old Denmark. They are making a serious point about Siemens washing machines "crossing a border" in that 1. the Siemens factory is on the German-Danish border and 2. their latest product is now under the 5,000 kroner "border" and 3. Danish customers can cross the border and buy the machines slightly cheaper there. Well, that's their excuse, Personally, I think it's a bit cheap and tacky as their products are aimed at more up-mar…

So much for Gollum's promise to deport all Foreign Prisoners once they had served their sentence. 2000 have just been released early, and given £168 each of tax payers money, for guess what, to compensate them for board and lodging they have missed by being released early. They will not be deported according to the prison minister. Maverick222008-12-26 11:26:17

....until this year is out! I rarely look on the glum side of things but I for one shall be more than glad to see the back of 2008. Everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong. I nearly died at the beginning of it, did the ditching/got ditched during the first half of it, spent the whole of Summer on crutches or getting off of them & the last quarter I've spent very unsuccessfully looking for a job (I must be doing something wrong in the interview!). So in a word, 2008 has been pretty cr@p! Still, it could have been worse, I could actually have been let in when I knocked on death's door! Even Death knows when to ignore the door it seems! Is it just me o…

A topic that lies very close to my heart is food.. I love eating it, enjoy cooking it, and I am even addicted to watching programs about it on telly. Soo, here is the question.. Who is your number one, favorite TV-chef? I love Nigella Lawson, for me she is a living definition of a real woman! :) Don't even get me started on her chocolate desserts!! If I was swinging both ways (other than on the police application / equality monitoring forms) she'd be on my list!!

Mr W and I decided to spend money given to us for Christmas on a very grown up present. A Nintendo Wii!! Just for the two of us, as the kids have all gone. Started great, it came with the sports game, so great fun was had playing tennis, bowling, boxing etc. Then, I had bought Wii Music, so we both jammed and conducted the orchestra, again both enjoying ourselves. Alas, I made the fatal mistake of allowing Mr W to purchase Guitar Hero complete with guitar.................................. 5 hours later, and after I had walked the dogs (alone), fed the dogs, cooked tea (alone), he is still prancing round the lounge like a demented Basil Fawlty howling 'living on a pray…
