My sister was once working at a freelance desk at a national newspaper, using the requisite filth-laden keyboard. On day two, she mentioned that she thought she was getting an eye infection. One of the staff piped up, cheerily, 'That's strange - the freelance who used that desk last week got an...

There's a new energy company being crowdfunded that claims 75% of its profits will go back to its customers. Sounds like an interesting prospect: http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/ourenergy?utm_source=crowdfunder&utm_medium=email&utm_content=ourenergy&utm_campaign=marketing

This is an excellent starting point for those who feel they might benefit from speaking to a therapist. You can narrow it down to therapists who will do telephone or Skype consultations, rather than face-to-face. https://welldoing.org

Husband and I lived in Cambridge at the time and I have no recollection of how we found out about Fans United. I remember thinking it was a nice idea, but that we'd be lucky if many other fans turned up in any meaningful numbers. I can still remember walking up Sackville Road, and it being...

Our greyhound is with More Than, as was our previous one. They're expensive, but cover is up to £12,000 per year. They have paid out any claims without question. Whoever you go with, make sure you get lifetime cover rather than annual. Lifetime is what is says it is, whereas annual cover...

I know you lot have done amazing work in votes before - if you can do it again, that would be fantastic. This young woman, at only ten years old, recently cycled 800 miles, and in doing so raised several thousand pounds for Greyhound Gap - a charity that does excellent work in rehoming...

Gutted for him. I hate to think of the abuse he's no doubt getting on Twitter right now.

I always sing stand or fall, too, and then feel a bit of a plum for being the lone dissenting voice.

My friend did her degree in Preston. Come on you whateveryou'recalled!

Agree that's a bit OTT, but it reminds me of the time someone I know did a week's freelancing at a national newspaper. After a couple of days, they developed an eye infection. When they mentioned it, one of the permanent members of staff said, 'That's strange - the person who worked at that desk...

It must have been terrifying for all concerned. Very pleased that he's on the mend. The Evelina is an outstanding hospital - they saved the life of my friend's daughter, who needed open heart surgery at a week old after being born with a heart defect.

So sorry - I know exactly how it feels.

It sounds as if the dog has been scared by the fight and is now reacting with fear when she goes out - here's a good link on fear aggression and some tips on how to handle it (basically, lots of positive reinforcement) - https://positively.com/dog-behavior/aggression/fear-aggression/ I know I'm...

The first thread I remember participating in was called something like 'Did anybody here go to Blatch Mill?'. Must have been around 1998-ish.

I was going to ask whether they still did this. It's this fact alone that has stopped me trying Silo.

In most instances, you can simply substitute it with 'I'll be in touch', or something along those lines.

Walt looks pretty happy here, I think.

My mum had surgery two days ago to remove an aortic aneurysm. It was in France, where she lives, so I can't recommend a hospital or surgeon, but all I can say is that everything went exactly to plan and she's making a good recovery. I was able to speak to her on the phone yesterday, only 24...

He denies all knowledge.

This thread is worthless without pigs.
