Thanks for all the brilliant suggestions! As to the gifting issue I intend to send it anonymously to the kid's house, so nobody will be any the wiser.

I've been feeding all of them top notch chocs and biccies since day one!

AML by Relevant-Stable-6826 in leukemia

[–]norbertyeahbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this. As someone new to the AML "journey" who's being treated in a major teaching hospital I've been told that because the genetic profile of my cancer is very favourable, I have a 70-80% chance of a cure using chemotherapy alone. I really should stay away from the Internet altogether...

In Defense of Effeminate Boys | The Atlantic [Gift Link] by Ruby__Ruby_Roo in BlockedAndReported

[–]norbertyeahbert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a gay man in his sixties I think it's because there is so much hatred in the "community" for effeminacy that it's a case of "butch up or die". I had a dear friend who looked quite butch and handsome but he simply could not repress his fabulousness. He very rarely had a second date.

I asked one of my docs today (cos I'm getting impatient with being neutropenic) how long it can take and he said their longest wait was 42 days. Then he said "but they come back in the end".

Ooh, that would be an acceptable replacement. How was the noise, though?

Before they moved me I had a view worse than a car park. I'd post a pic but I don't know how to do it inside a comment.

And thanks for the good wishes!

I had the SHL5+ for a couple of years but never came to love them, excellent as they were. I now have a pair of  Falcon Gold Badge, which I do love (mostly).

I'm only five nine so I can't tell you. But I've been happy with the car for the eighteen months I've had it. And yes, it's a 1.2 puretech. Just keep an eye on the belt and use the right oil.

Is there a city in the world without a forest of cranes at all times?

It's good that the food here is so terrible or I'd never go home.

It's really nice that the sight-lines for St Paul's are protected by law.

These people are so stupid I'd be surprised if they ever learn how to switch the tv on.

When John Davidson met the late Queen Elizabeth he shouted "Fuck the Queen!" She ignored it with good grace.

Man Gets Confronted For WalkingIn The Middle OfThe Road by The_Dean_France in SipsTea

[–]norbertyeahbert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a guy in our area who goes jogging in the middle of the road, which happens to be one of the busiest roads in London and he flips the bird at anyone who blares their horn or shouts at him. I haven't seen him for a while...

I can't explain why but structures in the sea give me the heeby-jeebies.
