I was brought up on the back streets of Leeds.. when our houses were cleared for slum clearance the community was broken up…. we were supposed to rejoice in the new found luxury of hot water indoor sanitation and gardens the council house we were moved to provided us.. as a child I just missed my old mates…. I still wonder what happened to them all and Aunty Alice who lived next door not a real Aunty,….. but any female who was as old as your mam was an Aunty :D and all those kids like myself who played on the streets…. a tin can as a football and an old bit of rope as a skipping rope… yes of course I am remembering through rose coloured glasses…. better to do that than remember some of the horrors……

I don’t wear my working class background like a badge though…. Im glad to have left it behind…. doesn’t mean I am ashamed of my roots…. just means I’ve moved on.

Why am I always left out but actually I don’t have skype either… although someone I know was keen for me to get it and I almost did download it once…. but common sense prevailed

Is it true MSN is closing?…. not that I use that either…. just wondered. :?

dont come the innocent with ME mrs t.. !! You are one of the 76 of us in the circle of lust !

What do you think of my haircut? She’s lopped the fringe too short for my liking.

Looks lovely Panda…. no truly it suits you :-#

I would be very wary of using skype with people who you don’t fully know…. a friend who is a puter geek told me it was easy to pinpoint your exact location when using skype… also to view files you are downloading and sites you visit.. Im not sure how true it is…. but I found this article for anyone interested

Kenty’s far too discerning to fall for my wiles, ML, so I resort to the comforts of the single malt . . . . .

I’ll join you for that single malt later.

Vicars Close? If so, then yes…our cottage was just 4 miles from Wells so we got to know it quite well. Loved the farmers market which was a lovely mix of food and crafts, wish we had a market like that!

Not sure of the name… that’s probably it though…. I am surrounded by farmers markets jen….. and I try to support them… I’m so lucky where I live :D

I don’t agree with the death penalty but I agree life should mean life…. if however a prisoner wishes to take his own life….I do wonder why we don’t let them… I know Im a hard woman :?

I agree with you about animals Panda… makes me laugh that some religions consider them to be lesser beings with no souls… future generations will laugh at our silly religions…… hopefully :)
