For people who send the odd letter it's fine, but for some old dear on a state pension who relies on the post, I imagine that increase is quite prohibitive!

How will effect her if she relies on the post? Do people post letters these days, hasn't digital communication taken over now?

Dimrill · **Posted:** Tue Mar 27, 2012 13:03

Yeah, I imagine it'll be quite expensive for a man trapped in a post box who sends out letters randomly asking for help, too.

He's told me he's not planning on visiting Beteo again, not given any reasons. I know he's been very busy though: http://cymophane.bandcamp.com/

He's still going to join us on outings though. Mainly because I'm so awesome to be around.

I bought 120 first class stamps from Costco about 2 years back, still have half of them left.
I might buy some more to last through the incoming postal price apocalypse.

I have a New Super Mario Bros. birthday card to give to my brother. It's just the DS game's cover art blown up. It even has the logo, so it's an advert. And yet I paid for it.

Can, but don't. Or certainly shouldn't be, anyway.

No!

I'd say it's working correctly, then

Hrm, still the same. At a bit of a loss to explain that. I may need you to Google something for me.

Is it "Why is my internet not working?"

This looks like a job for someone else.

I am irresistable to biting beasties, I have two really itchy ones just now, both around the knee on either leg. Have to put soothing lotion on them to allow me to sleep. Went into Boots today and bought the strongest insect repellant they had so hopefully I won't get anymore. If you don't have anti histamine lotion or anything like that, my mum used to always put aftershave on my bites.

Malabelm · **Posted:** Tue Mar 27, 2012 16:26

I taste disgusting or something, so they don’t bother with me. Miss Malabar was covered in bites in Turkey, while I lay there with no repellant on, on top of the sheets, with not a single bite to be found.

Don't insects prefer to bite people after they have hit puberty. (the people not the insects)

No, buy Kevin one. Get one for yourself if you like but I'm not paying for it, you colostomy gash.

His T-Shirt makes no sense either. I 'star' Japan? Or maybe Napalm.

I wonder how not having 4 or 5 times too much iron in me is going to affect my extreme undesirability. To insects.

What size feet do you have? I own the most awesome pair of handmade mexican cowboy boots that are too small for me. Vicious winkle picker toes and hard to walk on cuban heels. If you're size 10 or under I reckon they'd do ;o)

MaliA · **Posted:** Tue Mar 27, 2012 20:39

Size 8 and a half to nine.

Quote:

Baroness Grey-Thompson says she has attracted a stream of anti-disability abuse after she spoke of having to crawl off a train in London.

The former Paralympian said she was often left without assistance at stations despite advance requests.

A newspaper website reporting the story prompted a large number of offensive comments about the peer's disability.

Can you guess which paper? Worst rated comments for some horrible, horrible people.

This weather is lovely. Had a lovely walk along the canal last night, before stopping in Fannys for a pint and a read of the paper, seeing as MrsA is still in Oxford, talking to librarians.

BSG series 2 is still really good and I hope to finish series 1 of The Wire this week.

Skipton Beer festival soon, too. And I've got to remember what the thing is like in Brassed Off where the colliery bands all meet up and play and get drunk, as I want to go to that.

It's called the Brass-off.

Not really.
