Me too, it's great isn't it?

Living near a good school for your kids is overrated, it's all about the grit bins now.

I live near a grit bin too.
I reckon that's £20k added to my house value if I list that added bonus.

Would sort of defeat the purpose
You wouldn't be able to scoop very far!

That none of the local charity shops can take a nearly-new pushchair that was £400 less than 18 months ago, due to "health & safety".

Finally (hopefully) getting my 5 year sciatica battle sorted on Thursday with a micro-discectomy op and the b*stard has only gone into hiding this week and hasn't been hurting me at all, making me now doubt the need for the surgery at all.
I know it's just one of the good weeks, weird feeling though, having to have an op when not currently in pain.
Git.
