I'm not confident enough that I could lock FB down enough on the privacy side to feel comfortable using it.

Hope

I went to school with a murderer but I think he's still inside  :o
I've taught a murderer - whilst he was in a Social Services Observation and Assessment Centre.  Apparently, he was wandering down the street in Coventry with some friends and came across what he claimed he thought was a game of street football.  The football turned out to be a guy's head and body!!  I understand that he was jailed, but as he and his group wewren't the first on the scene, I believe that they got off fairly lightly as it is thought that the real causes of death had already occurred.
Are your, or your friends'/relatives', garages, lofts or sheds full of unused DIY gear, sewing/knitting machines or fabric and haberdashery stuff?

Lists of what is needed and a search engine to find your nearest collector (scroll to bottom for latter) are here:  http://www.twam.uk/donate-tools

so he wasn't actually a murderer then?

Before we work on Artificial Intelligence shouldn't we address the problem of natural stupidity.

Although I haven't used it for years I did "reunite" with my first girlfriend twice on it and have been with her for the last 13 years  :)

Its outdated but I have to thank it for that (i suppose  ;))
I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?

I have always thought of where my husband was born and grew up as in the county of Middlesex.

It would be fascinating if Owlswing was at the same school as my husband in the 60s. :)

Middlesex has been "Greater London" for donkey's years but letters addressed to Middlesex are still addressed to Middlesex....if you follow me.  Like Kew or Richmond (Greater London) are Surrey according to the post office and Chislehurst is Kent.

I used to think Middlesex was where people who were neither one sex nor the other lived (I'll get me coat).

Not correct. Staines is not Greater London, neither is Ashford.

And my birth certificate reads that I was born in Bromley in the County of Kent, not fucking Greater London.

I feel like that too Rhiannon though I have been told that FB can be quite private.  I thought I had made my F/B page private when I received so many emails from unknown people;  I daresay some cope with that sort of thing better but it doesn't seem worth the effort for me.  I'm happy not staying in touch!

Still a member & met a few ex RAF buddies through it.
