you will also have noticed that when remonstrated, I do not BITE back with insults but try to see the other's person view. I have in the past been criticised for being too happy/positive etc..
Sorry mate. This forum is a pressure cooker for a lot of us. One of the reasons why I wrote was the realisation that I've hardly got any domestics to worry about - having said that only a month ago I had a kitchen leak/ and I am too having a few problems with the house sale - and I often feel left out.
yours aye

Had my sides splitting with laughter. Some people need a sense of humour injection on this site(Eric). Life is not all serious you know!!
Glad to see my name up in lights- I will never be known as a nice person anymore since my little passport incident, but at least I am positive
What do some people want from this site? After all isn't it just for discussing things?!
P.s Don't forget to watch my biography (Teachers) it is on tomorrow night C5 at 9pm. Best programme on the T.V. though many in my profession disagree, maybe it is just a bit too close for comfort sometimes!!
Yeah and Andrew comes back!!

Sorry I have to protest I DIDNT ASK WHERE CAN I BUY PG TIPS!! I asked for a similar alternative!!
Apparently Tetley is your best bet.
Anyway I am sure you are just as keen to know where you can get your best alternative to Carling etc
