If water cannon & plastic bullets were 'good enough' for the Northern Irish & succeeded in their purpose, then I don't see any problem using them in mainland UK when circumstances warrant.

Those circumstances have existed for a few nights now. Enough pussy-footing!

My Neighbour said this morning that she was worried that the trouble would spread here, I told her there was no way trouble would start in our little village with only the post office to loot, it seems to be frightening people though.
Went up town this morning as its market day, smiths were selling paperbacks buy one get one for a £1, so I got four.

Maddie, your avatar was missing as well a few minutes ago. Hows things up your way now?
Agatha, what paper backs did you buy. Pat will be rushing into Smiths tomorrow, to get her share of books.
I popped into our local charity shop, and bought six books today, for two pounds.
Thanks for the reminder about WDYTYA tonight Rita, I will have to watch it,I like June Brown, and her past looks like it's going to be interesting.

Hi Everyone.
.
I had problems getting on this morning....think I'll ask GR for a refund.

I have just been out for a pub meal...Wetherspoon...really lovely pasta dish & Red Wine.
WE just felt lazy as we went to see my Dad & our friends so too late to cook.

Agatha......I would have joined you this afternoon as I was here until 3pm.... but it wouldn't let me :-S

I dont think it is the size of this thread. I think it is just GR programming I found I got on easy this morning.

I am reading about called "Miss Purdy's Class" by Annie Murry this is the second book I have read of hers and have enjoyed the first one " Family of Women "
This one I am reading I cried while reading it last night (Hows that for a Whozz " )It is about 1936 she leaves a good home to become a school tacher in Birmingham she has 52 children in her class and the poverty of them is heartbreaking I know it is only a story but this must have happened, I brought the book from a charity shop, for £1.50.

The sky is grey today. I want to go out to the shops and get my magazines and some bits of shopping I need to renew my lottery it ran out last night.
other than that I dont have a lot to do. need tow rite some birthday cards out.
so have a good day.

Rita

Some strange goings on with Genes today :-S :-S :-S
I was inputting some info on my tree and one person turned into another.
When I tried to delete, a message said I couldn't so I was faced with the problem of a 'spare rellie' who I couldn't get rid of :-P :-P Turned computer off and started from scratch and all seems ok now. I have also had trouble getting on to this thread and gave up yesterday, today is not much better. I am getting fed up with it all, and now my witch pic has just disappeared :-(
Hope all the friendlies are well and safe and special (((((hugs))))) for Jean today, hope you don't feel too rough after your treatment.
Back later maybe,

Oh for goodness sake, what happened to my post written a few minutes ago.
I hope Shelly and Maddie get a peaceful night tonight.
Shelly, if you don't let young un out tonight he will be climbing the walls, driving you crazy.
As long as heads in the opposite direction should any trouble erupts, and gets home straight away, he should be o.k.

Ah Yvonne, your dog must be feeling a lot lighter after all the grooming. Don't they smell lovely afterwards though.

Cath your witch pic is back again, she must have scared the pants off them, and they felt she had to be allowed back, just in case she put a spell on them.

Jeni, I hope today went well for you love. (((((((((HUGS for Scarlett)))))))))
Now take it easy and get some rest. Not that you will take any notice of what is said to you lol.

It looks like George has taken himself out for the day again.

Hi everyone
I am glad I am not the only one who cries over stories in the books.
Shelly the board has been changing all day It told me the site was down till 10.30 am this afternon
. I PM Pauline and told her I was not sure I would be allowed back on the board I was reported by Rambling Rose she didnt like what I had written on the riot boards so I have deleted any thing I think will offend on all the boards i have been on. if you see something you think is offence I would be pleased if you let me know so I can delete. if I get reported again I am told they will not let me back on the site.

Love Rita
