Really sorry to hear that
Really sorry to hear that your other half is still in intensive care, but by the sounds of it he needs to be. And you have your mum to look after as well. I wanna know who's caring for you? We all do here of course but that has necessarily to be from a distance. You need anything at all, you just yell OK?
Not at all. Aged 16 and an IQ of 161! Lauren. I'd love to meet her, I adore clever women, particularly when they are attractive as well. Must be why I like you :-)* I'm sure I'd like your daughter as well.
That actually is twice as worrying. What sort of upbringing have those kids had that they think, at that young age, it's quite OK to make prank calls to the emergency services from a phone box? And others get cross with me when I say that some people are not fit to breed. But we'll leave it there.
I tell you what my girl, when things improve for you, you really ought to consider living in a nicer part of London. Draw a 5 mile circle around the hospital and see what is in it.
Meanwhile looking forward to the clue expansion post :-)
* Chris you are such a toady ....
Waiting for Godot & salvation :-)
Why do doctors have to practice?
You'd think they'd have got it right by now
RE: And here I am :) Yes,
Annie ... sorry to hear about this :(
Chris .... Wow ! She is pretty !
Bill
She certainly is Bill! This
She certainly is Bill! This TOWIE thingy is new on me though I have to say, I am obviously lacking in my Street Cred education :-)

Your clue expansion everyone!
Your clue expansion everyone! :)
...and if your light apertures need assistance with the bit at the top left...
Ta da! (other large sections available on demand)
Is okay, Bill :/ he's been on dialysis a bit too long now, so he's too poorly for a transplant, even if one was available. It seems he'll pull through this crisis though :) just about - but he's tired of the fight. I can see that, and the hospital is running out of treatment options fast :( so we'll just keep taking each day as it comes :)
Did your parents know everything you got up to when you played out, Chris? :) My mum didn't :) My twin and I nearly burned down our house playing with a magnifying glass, a sunbeam and a huge mound of very very dry straw when we were six. We were testing an alleged claim that you could make fire - so we did have a very small cup of water with us in case it was true - which I promptly spilled on my shoe in a panic, before we then ran away. My mum still thinks it was spontaneous combustion. Perhaps she wasn't fit to breed either :)
Little ones are little ones and don't always think through consequences before following through with an idea. It could be a little boy who wants to grow up to be a fireman for all anyone knows. Doesn't make it excusable, of course, just fixable - but those with the power don't seem to have either the funds or the interest in prioritising the fixing bit, sadly.
I don't like London. I loved it when I first arrived in the UK, for about a year :)
edit:
ooh forgot some clew things - hope to be back with them before I lose my edit window :)
CLEW THINGS
What lovely joined up thinking!! *smile proudly at Mike and Chris, even though they are completely and utterly wrong*
Mike is probably closest though...
And awhile ago robl made a post that strayed into the realm of not just one, but TWO contributing aspects to the solution you are seeking :)
edit whatever of how many others:
...which I considered linking to, but decided not to :)
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
Oh my word, oh gosh, gadzooks
Oh my word, oh gosh, gadzooks even, well I'm impressed anyway, anyone else? I see the shuttle and the ISS, summat to do with hanging and a map of early Australia? Still suitably confuddled though ....
That is so very brave of you, and I pledge to support you 100%.
Mostly yes, little boys are not as mischievous as little girls by a long chalk!! One day aged about 8 I and a school friend got caught in the next road scrumping apples from someones back garden. My pal legged it, but the man frog marched me back home and acquainted my mother with the incident. I got a cuff round the head and was sent to my room. When dad came home later I got more of the same. But those were the days when parents brought up their kids responsibly, and bobbies on the beat ticked you off for riding bikes on the pavement.
Parents just don't care these days, kids are either a Saturday night after the pub mistake or a meal ticket. Nothing those in power can fix until society gets back to the old fashioned basic values that worked.
I'm glad your mum did breed, and she did very well I have to say, I'm quite sure she is a lovely Lady :-))
London is totally different depending upon which part you live in. NW is "Tropic of Ruislip" land, SW is all Twickers and Richmond, SE is Bexley & Bromley G&T land, NE is verging on Essex*. They are all totally different places to live in. It also has to be realised that the River Thames is not only a natural barrier it also marks the boundaries of a great cultural divide. Us lot in sarf lunnon are generally looked down on by the toffs in Hampstead. And this sign
Means there has been an accident in Kensington. And if you live in Croydon then it's your own silly fault!
*Go down any country lane in Essex and you will see couples on the verge .....

RE: RE: What sort of
And I think THAT last bit is the part Chris was talking about, the lack of parenting skills and abilities, monetary or otherwise, to 'handle' problems as they came up, which in turn led to worse and worse behaviors as the kids tested more and more of their limits.
RE: map of early
Nope :)
Only incidentally, but in a sort of related sense. More anecdotal than relevant - but still a clew :) Something went a little awry for the gentleman's hope that he'd get a quiet life. Faced with a babbling, screaming frenzy instead, he threw the remainder of his original plan out the proverbial window and shot the din in the head :/ Something about the bit he threw away is part of what you're seeking :)
(ahem... said the thief to the arsonist) Really? :) I think it's the number of collaborating little heads involved at any one time that make a difference, and that it has little do with gender. If telephones were as available as they are now, when you were growing up, can you honestly say a prank call to a Mr White asking to speak to Mr Black (or something similar) would not have been a misdemeanor on your charge sheet? :)
Which generation was it that got it right then? Remind me :)
Mikey says (hi Mikey! :))
Aren't they what get passed down from generation to generation, each within a broader ever-changing social backdrop?
The grandparents and great grandparents I come across all seem to think it was easier for them to be parents than it is for their grandchildren to be. Parents "not caring" is a fallacy in all but a tiny fraction of them, and that fraction has been around in every generation since time began. Being a parent is one of the most rewarding, and fraught, learning curves out there. Don't knock it till you've tried it is what I reckon :)
edit: that map up there is of a place now featured *perform complicated maths* four times on this page :)
erm... three times on this page...
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
Flexes knuckles, slurps a
Flexes knuckles, slurps a strong cuppa tea, right, here we go :-)))
Well what's that hanging a right down there then if it's not Kiwi land? Quite apart from which (oooh he did his homework ...)
Occidens is West
Meridies is South
Oriens is East
Septentrio (spelt wrong) is North
Okaaayyy we have the map turned 90 degrees clockwise to the right? Er why?
He got married?
YES I CAN!!
We first got a telephone in 1954 when I was aged 10, at that time I was a bit more responsible than little girls obviously are:-)))
My parents one of course! But then I would say that wouldn't I? They grew up in the 20's remembering WW1, and suffered the General Strike in the 30's, lived through a second world war 1939-45, then rationing until 1954, a full 9 years after WWII. That era produced British people with guts, backbone, and grit that could take on any odds and survive, and by god they did just that. And they brought up their kids properly, with decent principles, correct behaviour, and to be proud of the country that they were born in.
I would have loved to have been a dad but lifes path has meant that it didn't happen for me. Yes I probably would have been authoritarian and firm, but you of all people know what a real softee I am inside.
Where is that damn map, c'mon it's really bugging me :-)))

mmm, may I remind you Chris
mmm, may I remind you Chris of that incident in San Fran. Please don't speak about parenting. Yes I remember your niece, but by the time she started to live with you, her values etc have already been formed.
Pluto will always be a Planet to me.
RE: Mikey says (hi Mikey!
Hi anniet!!
I have two kids, both now out of college, one has a Bachelors degree in Anthropology while the other has a PHD in Chemistry. I have literally 'been there, done that, and got the t-shirt to prove it' too. And in the Spring I will become a grandpa for the first time as the one with the PHD, his wife has a Masters Degree in Chemistry, has decided it's time to become a parent too.
