Yoghurt on a Stick

Now. that's a blast from the past. Am I right in thinking that there are tens of thousands of them? About 3 tens of thousands of them? As an aside, I hope that you are happy and well.

Lawn chair? No, I can't explain - it just is;

Nice. Nice and I'd say.

If the doctors say they have seen it before lots of times, I'd tend to believe them. They have nothing to gain either way. They will be telling you the truth, as far as they see it. However, you might want to ask the same doctor(s) f they have ever got it wrong, and if so, how significantly wrong. There may be scope for a longer life. I'd just accept their stance as long as it is paying the way. Only question if it suits your needs to do so.

Don't let it.

Excellent news, on the last bit. You have got your foot in the door, so to speak. There may be online details of how you get to get your other foot through the door. Worth checking. I found out a shed load of information on how to help that young lad out with the PIP claims. The man is as mad as a box of frogs, and would be a complete nightmare in terms of other people's H & S - therefore not employable etc. Anyway, if you get into the right mind frame, looking into this stuff can be interesting. However, yes there is the downside that the 'system' will attempt to crush you in the process.

Use 'The Force'.

I'll echo what @Skip997said about reading up on it. The devil is in the detail. Obviously you need to tick as many boxes as is possible. The overall trick is to back them into a corner, and then show them the way out. If they reject the claim then ask them why, and also put in an appeal after - hopefully detailing why their previous conclusions were inaccurate. It's like everything, in that you have to fight like a bastard.* * I once acted as an advocate for a young lad who sufferers from severe mental health issues in his appeal against PIP and Advanced PIP (two separate tribunal hearings). He was awarded both benefits on appeal. While researching the whole area I discovered that 75% of all appeals are successful. Do you know another branch of Government which is allowed to fail that much in their original conclusions? I don't. And what about those who don't appeal because they have noone to support them? Makes my blood boil.

I had no idea that his product existed up until now. This could be useful. Thanks for highlighting it Terriw.

That's good that they'll fund the care aspect. As to the other aspect, it's a tough one. I'm going through it myself. My mom has dementia and is getting very frail. There's only one way its going now. I don't know how it'll hit me when she goes.

No.

Was a bit out of it when I posted this. It's Paul, not Pete. I have no idea where the Pete came from.

I knew Pete Murphy. He was a friend of the family's. I don't think (and I am 58 years old) I've ever met a more genuine, lovely person, and nicer soul. There were tragedies in his life and he battled against them valiantly. He was, without doubt, a beacon of light.

A little bit of what takes your fancy, can be a good thing. I have only been in a happy place when 'exposed' to Electro-Swing. And, yes, the music helped assist that happiness.

Well, to be honest, my 'modification' negated the pressure within the chamber. In fact, I actually carefully hacksawed through the metal cartridge (just below the product sticker that was on it). Little did I know that when the last saw of the hacksaw pierced the pressurised chamber, that the whole thing would shoot and bounce off the walls of the little office that I was in like a tracer bullet. Then I fed the powder into the cut groove, slowly but surely. Then I placed a strip off a plain white sticky one sided address label over the cut hole in the chamber, so that it married up with the official sticker ie no visible seam. And that was it.

Life keeps getting worse. Last night a thief stole the bottom left key off my laptop. I've lost control.

Now, that's what I call dedication. Wishing you a lovely last Fandango at the festival.

I had actually thought it might be as such, but just couldn't 'see' it. And then my mind started to wander and think maybe it's spelling out something else. Not in a barmy way,- like I personally was being sent a 'message'! Just in an I don't know if it's even spelling out anything kind of a way. It's why i asked. I 'needed' to know! So, thanks Crazy.

A couple of things - (1) I had no idea that the place looked like that. It's more regimented than a regimented thing. That 'may' be useful at night though when staggering back ie if you have counted the row and column that you are camped at. However, it's no way near the 'razzmatazz' of general camping. (2) At the bottom part of the photo of the tents, is that the letters 'Y', 'E', and 'W' within the overall body of the tents? Does that make any sense?

I guess it's possible (at a stretch, in my opinion) to consider a very small percentage of the posts to be 'abusive' However, the much greater percentage go off on a tangent away from the content of the original post. or are serious questions.on the content of the post. I don't see a ' sniggering clique, desperate to impress internet strangers by joining in the newbie abuse'

Thanks for the explanation. I can stop scratching my head now, as to how this came about. Good luck with getting a 2 person tent, and have a fab festival.

I can't see the maths there. Surely the OP is just saying that it's £200 each - which includes himself paying £200? @Fabulousfab - I am just wondering what possessed you to book this in the first place?

Thanks for the enlightenment. I just happened to stumble across the product earlier today, and thought that they might be of use. However, I can now see that they'd be crap in battle conditions.
