For the laaadies out there, this link might be interesting. http://www.modestclothing.com/cgi-bin/tying.pl It's an observant Jewish site with instructions on how to tie different styles of scarves. I thought it might be useful for anyone who is trying not to wash their hair but feels embaressed my t...

Hey Chaps, I know it's important to consider the vegetarian status of chocolate but please also consider the human cost. Have a look at this link to Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_exploitation_in_the_chocolate_industry Some of the information on here is disputed and I know there has b...

Wooow haaaay,

Well done chaps, no really well done. This is a real achievment.

I can't wait to get hold of it. I think I might get a copy of it for my mum as well.

Are you going to do a book signing tour?

Can I be one of your screaming fans? I'll wear a Quaker bonnet so you can spot me.....

Welcome WiseBird.

Just imagine if we could genetically modify husbands to lay eggs....

My husband would lay the best eggs

I didn't see the programme but I've heard many of the arguements against man made global warming. At the end of the day I don't know everything about global climate systems, no one does. So, for the foreseeable furture I'm not going to take the risk that I may be adversely effecting the climate. At ...

The very centre of Oxford is fairly flat, but as soon as head towards the river or out into the surrounding suburbs there are more hills. Hills just take getting used to, you'll never climb that massive one first time you attempt it and there's nothing wrong with hopping off to push for a while. Eve...

Will I ever be able to plant toms in the same area? Also what about other plants that are related to tomatos, like potatoes?

Thanks for your advice on this guys.

As long as you're not too pale you can use a face mask made of water, oats and haldi (tumeric). The oats make your skin lovely and smooth, I think it's because they're slightly abrasive. Don't do this if you're pale though because the haldi will dye you slightly orange.

Thank you Red.

They were doing so well.

I shall have to console myself with some of the Co-Op's fair trade fruit and nut.

Does blight live in the soil and if so, will it be gone next year? Can plant toms in the same place next year?

I've seen one in Oxford so maybe check out the bike shops there. I once saw a man with three kids on his bike: one on a mini tandem attachment at the back, one on a plastic seat on the parcel bit behind the 'driver' and one sat on a small saddle that had been screwed onto the cross bar so the child ...

I have a solution for my day to day shopping: A MIGHTY voluminous handbag. I could fit baby Ernest in with ease, plus a few tins.

My Granny's old clothes horse. I've just estimated that over my protracted student days (6 years) it saved me £975. Since then I've lived in a flat so it's continued to save electricity (and thus £'s) by freeing me from the tumble dryer. I love the creaky old thing with its 20 year old clingfilm o...

I've just had a look at my tomatoes at work, and one of them has got blight on the main part of the stem. What do I do? Is the plant doomed? Will it spread to the others?

Please help, I havn't got a clue what to do with blight.

I'm really interested, and I prefer living communually. Please, please do keep all of us informed. This sounds wonderfully exciting.

Is Bristol commuting distance to Woking? My husband can't change his job, I can though.

Why wipe and deal with all the dirty toillet paper when you can have a clean and hygenic wash with water each time.
