Yoghurt on a Stick

Is this true? If so, would you mind indicating how they went about this, as I'm intrigued?

I currently feel relaxed, calm, and well adjusted.

I went to SGP one year. There was a miserly allowance on the amount of alcohol that you could bring in to the festival. No wonder it was the most serious hard core drugs festival that I have ever been to. Mind you, I did manage to smuggle in 7 litres of red wine - and they checked my rucksack thoroughly!

Will keep my fingers crossed for you for June.

Very much the same here too. I will always be indebted to this site for getting me through the very long and lowest period of my life.

You have my sincere condolences. I lost my dad just before Christmas last year. Well, I didn't actually lose him - he went and died. Which is fairly handy because we buried him on the 29th December! I am now caring for my mother 4 days a week and she's got the onset of dementia. Some days I just burst into tears. Not for my dad, but for my mom. She's not and never will be again the same person that I knew as my mom. Life can be a brute at times, but then it can / is the most wondrous gift too. I don't know, but am sure that your mom would want you to err more towards being happy than being sad. All the best.

If you have a hangover I can offer no better advice than this product; They are around the £4.40 mark per box in most places I've seen. I've just looked and Lloyds chemist on line has them for £3.75 per box. Not sure that that is the same price as in their stores though. I am not alone in thinking that it is a wondrous product for mild pain relief. I don't suffer from hangovers on the whole (which is remarkable given my daily determined effort in that direction), but some friends do, and they all swear by this product.

Oh bollocks! not good news at all. The only advice that I feel that I can offer is to say to think along the lines of 'You were at a split on the path. There was no sign post showing where either path led. So, you chose one. It's not the right one. You get a choice. You can still go back and take the other path. You can work on choosing to live a life without this yoke around your neck. I realise that may not help. However, that was kind of my epiphany, and I've been down the path that you are on, so it might help.

Aghh. That makes sense. Now! Jabberwocky BY LEWIS CARROLL ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe. “Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch!” He took his vorpal sword in hand; Long time the manxome foe he sought— So rested he by the Tumtum tree And stood awhile in thought. And, as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came! One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back. “And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!” He chortled in his joy. ’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe: All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.

Genius. Thank you.

Not sure - as in 'I'm not sure how I feel'. Essentially there's a 'force' trying to make me feel guilty, and then the there's me trying to just have a laugh - whether that is on my own or with others. However, I must say that it is increasingly on my own. Maybe I am guilty of feeling like I have the almost bourgeois privilege of demanding to be in control of my own lunacy. Maybe not.

Oh dear! Waitrose? I'm interested in trying Kahlúa out ever since the lady off this site from New Zealand mentioned it (apologies, as I can't recall her name on here).

The bravest sight in the world is to see a great man struggling against adversity. Lucius Annaeus Seneca Wishing you the most speedy of recoveries.

That's great news. A bit less pain and a bit more independence. Fight the fight. All the best.

I get what you mean, as it did look like it was unspoilt by customers.

The fun's worth the risk.

I can distinctly see a fire juggler. Do you know that, on average, you are never more than 6 feet away from a fire juggler at any point during a festival? What do you mean 'That's bollocks'?

Oh that looks lovely. How delighted you must be to be there. Are you wearing a BD suitable hat, or have you decided to tone it down by just wearing a flashing with light suit?

If you do have a Capita assessment, you should know from the outset that they will try to trip you up at all stages ie. before you even get to their building for the assessment! If what I have discovered is that they will then ask questions, you provide answers, and they write something else other than your answers down. One thing I would advise all in such a situation is to formally request that they inform you of what they have written down on the assessment to each and every question. Otherwise they will quite literally write down complete lies.

The Government are 'likely' to throw decent lumps of money at you!? I have not had personal need for certain benefits, but do know for fact that 'Government' have set up the system for certain benefits in a manner that has resulted in the DWP, in the first instance, denying such benefits. I fought a case for a young lad of 21 years who the DWP (and Capita) tried to stitch up like a kipper. In the first instance Capita lied within their assessment. Then the DWP extrapolated from that (one could say pre-programmed outcome) to not pay this young man the appropriate PIP and Advanced PIP payments. They were wrong to do so. Just so as you know 75% of all PIP appeals are successful. Do you know of another 'department / organisation;' that is 'allowed' to get it so wrong? I don't. Tread carefully and with full knowledge in this area, if it applies to you. If it does then feel free to PM me for info on what I can remember. Unfortunately I've deleted the two folders that I had on this bloke's case when we won both appeals. You think you've seen dirty!? You'll only ever see that level of UK Governmental internal shitiness if you 'get it' first hand. No need to go down and into the trap that they have laid for you. Point out their trap to them and ask if its within their remit to set that trap.

Well, remember that you can blow them up that little bit further on top of their self inflating capabilities, and that it is worth doing so. All the best with your quest.

Why would you think that?

How the family who own it got to where they are now is an interesting read. It started in 1972 after the M6 was built across their farm. They saw an opportunity to cater for travellers, went for it, and then it mushroomed.

I know all about trying to get the best comfort that you can sleeping in a car. I was once in a very volatile relationship. Many is the time that my then girlfriend would go off to the kitchen when I was in bed and come back and slowly pour a kettle of water over me in the bed. I never knew if she'd boiled it or not. On those occasions I'd really know that she'd lost it, so I used to jump in the car and drive to the car park of a nearby park, park up and try to get some sleep for work in the morning. The first time I did that I wasn't prepared, so had no pillows or duvet, or anything other than the clothes that I was in. that was a real shitty night, that was. Eventually, as this process continued, I had the wise idea of putting two spare pillows and a spare duvet in the boot of my car. Many is the time that i woke up in that car park having heard the conversation of dog walkers, which roused me from my half sleep. So, to conclude - pillows rock!
