Not sure that it is going to do any good being too precious about a man who chooses to take his own life. It was his decision; who are we to argue with it? Anyway, he is just one of 6 and a half billion other of us. He's had a privilaged life. Looking on the bright side he is now one less on the pla...

I am living a new nightmare. I haven't got time to worry about what might happen next, more a case of dealling with what is. My life is a cross between Coronation Street and a Physco film. I have been stalked, threatened with a knife, physically attacked, slandered, liabled, my mother has been threa...

(well never could get either of them to understand the issues - best mates husband originally lent me a copy of The Long Emergency and he is now toast too :lol: ) So, I will pr...

Don't beat yourself up looking for solutions or trying to convince the masses.

Can I join the Andy Hunt is tops and definately not gloomy club please?

Hello everybody. BTW does Pippa really moderate all the forums? Jakell No I do not moderate on all the forums!!!! I am probably one of the least qualified in this place to do so. In fact I don't like my name plastered all over this place with the word moderator next to it. I offered to help with a ...

I went to the bank in Newbury on Friday evening and the town centre was packed with people. I hadn't realised it was time to turn on the town decorations and Christmas Tree lights on. The place was full of happy people there just to see the ceremony and there was a great sense of community. It was ...

Enjoy yourself and try not to make too much more mess of the world.
