  1. Me, myself & I and then that's only 50% of the time on a good day.
  2. does anyone know where I can get a "helping hands"? I need it for learning how to draw to paint Thanks PS I've checked out the links on this thread & havent been able to find antying
  3. do that a lot myself & you've really got me started now
  4. I think writing about something should neutralise things which isnt to say that controversial subjects are less emotive to those directly involved in discussing the topics involved. ie by this I mean writing instead of speaking. I did an exercise with someone a while back where they were really really angry with me & I wrote what I had to say to see whether my writing insteadof speaking would makeany difference. It was really interesting because thewriting defused their anger - doesnt seem to happen on this forum though does it
  5. there's plenty of legislao tion in place to permit women [What else do you think we need to do/discuss when we meet on Tuesday AND men from taking time off for family commitments and indeed this happens. So perhaps it's a case of needing to find the right way to politely assert yourself so that your needs aremet rather than having a gripe.
  6. "I hear what you say" in the politest terms = toerag, you dont know wat the heck you're talking about & I know better than you & more to the point I couldnt give a monkey's for what you think or feel about anytyhing"
  7. It entirely depends. If I were to be working from home & only had one telephone line for argument'ssake then I could see it would be very useful. If I were in the middle of a highly sensitive call then I owuld not usually interrupt it just for a caller who, for all I know was making a speculative sales call.
  8. that would besowonderfully freeing & liberating - like a breath of fresh air.
  9. they're, ie employers & recruiters, are not allowed to ask young women undergoing an interview any questions about when you're planning on having a family because as I understand it, the Employment Tribunals deemed it to be .. "SEXIST" So if anyone is getting asked that sort of quesiton when on interview I think it could well be sexist.
  10. dont know whether/not it's been mentioned earlier (& with 3 pages I'm not trawling through it) but it should put an end tio the trolling some people receive because with it's own forum mods the sensitivities involved with this very serious issue should become more easily controlled.
  11. there's also some place in town which takes old pcs for their centre so that people without a pc can use one. think they do some kind of lets system.
  12. there aare some natural hair dyes - the only place I've seen them though is in a health foodshop near Goodge Street tube station in central london
  13. Charter Row DSS is now closed as are all the other DSS offices - benefits have now all been transferred across to Jobcentreplus which you'll find either on West Street or somewhere round the back of the High Street. Change of circumstances is also dealt with by Jobcentreplus - they'll give you a form to complete & return in the envelope they provide; otherwise it's likely tobe their useless call centre
  14. As I've just used freecycle to get rid of a printer which my colleague bust for me, and it was collected within about 2 -4 hours of my posting, I think it's simply the best. Strongly recommend it>
  15. Think it's well on the way - it is alarming the number of people who just cant read and even if they could dont read any books or newspapers.
  16. Well I cant see an ything wrong in buy8ng from Poundland you cant get some right good gear then a darn sight cheaper than in John Lewis which invari\`ably charges over the oddsd for the vast majority of its stuff./
  17. Think you'll find these days that kids under 16 are allowed free travel anywhere in London so it will just be the fares of 2 adults
  18. yeah was in there yesterday evening & was surprised to see it on the shelves. Didnt realise they were that forward thinking because they're right backward when it comes to filling in the Friends of the Earth survey questionnaire on pesticides & insecticides in the products they sell to us consumers.
  19. Yeah that's far too simple for words. It requires basic intelligence which they dont have. I had a subcontractor turn up today to check my gas boiler. Only problem was they forgot to tell me & I was getting ready to go out. Told them to send me a card with an appointment next time
  20. so has anyone got to the bottom of this yet? And if there was ONE building in Sheffield which I'd nominate for this explosion it would have to be Moorfoot, preferably very long after working hours - it's the number one ugliest building in Sheffield & quite how it got past the planning permission stage I dont know = deeep pockets.
  21. Heyup how about the arctic monkeys then basil
  22. & take a mobile - even if it wont work because where you go walking may not have a signal because at some stage you'll be back in the mobile world again.
  23. For info they're relocating the fire station which I believe apparently cost us the best part of a cool £30 million to build back in the late 80's because it's present location, ie where JLP is going to go in the NRQ is not suitable for a fire station. (They're now building a new fire station on Eyre Street at a cost of goodness knows how many extra £millions to make way for JLPs flagship building.)
