Hightower that is one gorgeous beast. I am on the lookout myself for a new dog. I lost my old girl in January and she was 16.5. What a loss that was. Have you tried Animal Crackers in Sunderland and Brysons over in Eighton Banks?

Happy Birthday Witch hope you have a good one!! Bright Blessings chick

Yep I got mine end of last week ;0)

Yesterday my band was leading the Pride Parade in Newcastle and what a rush!!!! 10 Thousand people there it was awesome!! Even saw myself on the local news that would be my 3 seconds of fame!!!

One of my users has an Acer Aspire. He needs to use it at home and does not have wireless there and bought a Vodafone K3570 Dongle. The Acer is Linux and we cannot get it to see the dongle. Has anyone any experience with Linux or dongles and set me in the right direction please.

I agree with you Los0jos when I went about 5 years ago you just couldn't spend your money as everything was so cheap. Check out this site it has loads of daytime activities there for you ;0) Prague Stag - Day Time Activities

I go to Texas regular as one of my sons lives there and I have to say the Mexican food is fabulous. I never used to like Mexican food before I went but the authentic stuff you get there is out of this world. The only thing I truly miss while there is a decent cup of tea...........

Awe wow you lucky lucky guy I am so jealous!!! Enjoy enjoy enjoy it is what life is all about! :0)

Am 56 and started in IT working with Macs in a design studio for 6 years. Moved onto the Prison Service as Network Administrator for 6 years there also. Which I may say were old Value Pluses and Ergo Pro's running 3.1 before we switched literarly over-night to Dell's and Win XP!!! Been in school now 5.5 years the last three co-running CC4.

Well I don't know if they will read it or not but I sent my 2p worth anyway. If there is the slightest chance they do read it then I will have had my say!

Might have been a 'nice save' but it made me smile all the same lol

Don't be fooled by the avatar that was me on a good day lol Mind there are times if I get cheesed off I can be as scary as a HT...............am happy being a techie it suits me fine.

No Hightower I am a techie bottom of the foodchain me.

Welcome to the wacky world that is Education. Heads are like football managers they change the goalposts when they change jobs.

Sadly Autumn half term is no good for me as am off to San Diego (which was cancelled courtesy of BA at spring half term!!!) meant had to rebook. Sorry would love to have made it down there

That is very witchist!!! And Witch is not the only witch in the forum mwahahahahahahaha

Am part way through a counselling course and fully intend to go down this route. While I love IT work am just not so keen on the in school politics and hassle you have to endure to just get through the day. Once am qualified and got a client list am off.

Bap with corned beef and brown sauce!!!!! LUSH!!

Happy Birthday have a fab day!!!

Tonight I picked up my holiday money to go buy $ only to find my flights been cancelled on the way out and they are striking on the day I was meant to be flying home!! Bang goes half term in San Diego. Have rescheduled it for later in the year!!

Pint a week is nowt compared to what mine was p1ssing out that day. The egg stemmed the flow enough to get to a garage outside where I was. The egg cooks in the water and bungs the holes a bit enough to do something more reliable. Your dad was right though suggesting it

Have never used that particular one but as we speak my car is running with radweld in my radiator as I sprung a huge leak not so long ago 20 miles from home. Stuck an egg in first to get me far enough to the nearest garage to buy Radweld. Will be going to the scrappie soon though to get another radiator. Oh aye and the winder mechanism for the drivers door window. Good job I love a good mooch round the scrappies!!

Two of my metal sons are gutted by this. Mind as a long suffering mother I had not heard of him. Sad all the same.

Have you tried some Reiki treatment also. It is great for pain relief. I find a lot of my clients report good results after a treatment. If you were nearer I would have given you a treatment. I have had acupuncture too and the relief in my back was brilliant.

Wise words Witch. My middle son lives in Texas and is always hankering to come home (he has a wee lad over there and and now divorced would not come without him) but as I keep telling him people move on. You may still be in their lives but they have their own lives too. I know this from moving away myself. When I go back I see friends but though we are still friendly there are less and less things in common anymore. It is a fact of life. A 10 minute journey home is not a lifetime away. I wish I was only 10 minutes from my son as I can only see him once a year. Be happy in your life cause at the end of the day we are only here once. As Witch says try and throw yourself into this for a period of time and see how you go. I wish you well with this as I know how hard it can be but I also know how liberating it can be too.
