Can ordinary speed cameras now catch you as you are heading towards them? I just got double-flashed. Could really do without that right about now. (Yes, know . . .)

[Johnni]

Can you be in love with someone and/or say you are in a relationship with them if you never met in real life? IMO you can't but others seem to think you can.

[Johnni]

Ive seen it on forums over the yrs and not sure how it works either. I mean how do you go from being online friends to something serious? Irl the more obvious 'traditional' ways that that initiate that transition like the 1st kiss you cant have online.
Yeah i agree if it makes them happy then no biggie but i think to say you are in love with someone or state you are in a relationship bf/gf is going a bit too far.

possible i think, since i was in a LDR..complicated didnt meet much..felt different to just really getting on with someone .."more"

but im not sure how it works..i dont think its a simple case of being "nothing" to then meeting up and then BAM boyfriend/girlfriend..tricky line, in my case i presumed we were "more" before meeting up..as the whole meeting thing didnt really make much difference to me

Maybe if you skype face to face a lot... but if you never seen each other in real life or only seen pictures of each other/phone conversations... no i simply dont think that is a relationship.

Do you know if it was a Gatso scamera? As far as I'm aware, Gatos scameras are not approved for forward facing speed detection.

Ollie, you are a bleeding hypochondriac. Leave yourself alone man

[Johnni]

Im hot all the time so must have really good circulation?
One guy i knew said those with poor circulation their veins are not as close to the skin as others so hard for the nurse once to take a blood sample so took it from a vein in his hand.

Aspirin is used for some circualtory problems in a low dose 75mg, but you have to be carefull and in your case I would say don't be taking regular (because you take a lot of supplements and could hit on something that could increase it's effects etc)

So .... Ginger! Well known supplement for poor circulation Or if can tollerate cook some, buy some crystalised ginger (eww) or somet along those lines x

edit ... or go get your Gp to check your thyroid!!

Then you do need a slap young man!! You'll fck your metabolism up dong that, them kinda meds need blood monitoring and can effect the rest of your bod! If the endo says not, then trust em to be right.

Try the ginger, and if you get desperately cold, buy a woolly jumper and a hottie bottle

[Toxic]

seriously id swap any day of the week with you

if your cold you just put a jumper on..if your hot and already practically naked your ****ed

its Horrible always feeling hot..especially in my room..i cant open my window with the slightest hint of rain (loft conversion, sky light directly above bed) sweat makes me itch Gah

A landlord may put very sternly 'NO DSS' in their advert, but if you pay them in cash theres no way they'd know whether you're on it or not is there?, as long as you go out a bit each day looking like you're heading off to work.
Or is there a council list they have access to?.

As far as I know the way the system works at the moment, if you receive Housing Benefit its paid directly to the landlord. It didn't use to work like that and I was told recently that foolishly the Tories are planning on changing it back so the recipient receives the money first and they then pay the landlord, which simply causes problems for those on already low incomes and will cause massive hassle for landlords not being paid or being paid late.

Not sure if it's different in Scotland, but here, Housing Benefit is now paid directly to the tenant.

The only problem is that the landlord might want a current work reference from you.

Your right Polty, I was wrong , it must be the same North and South of the Border as its the benefits system. I didn't realise there is option to choose who receives the payment at the moment. Its that option that is supposedly being removed shortly by the Tories - only leaving the option of payment going directly to the tenant. Which I still suggest is a bad idea.

[Riedell]

Thanks for replies, I'm part-time employed so maybe they could be a rent guarentor. I'll have to look into it some more somewhere, Direct Gov doesn't seem very detailed on this & I'm not sure which other websites to trust.
Me personally I have to think its good rents can go directly to tenants, for ppl who want to fool their landlords for a short time .

No worries. I only know because mine is paid directly to me and I'm often tempted to go on a spending spree with it

[Vanessa]

IMO it's better for the money to go directly to the tenant. wouldn't this reduce the chance of landlords discriminating against people receiving benefits? money is money, it shouldn't be an issue for a landlord how the tenant gets the money to pay for their rent (unless it's illegal or something)

if the recipient blows the majority of their housing benefit on something other than housing, that's their problem imo.

If they suddenly get £1,000 in their account, they'll start spending it just because they haven't had to do this before. It's a disaster waiting to happen and will lead to debt and jail sentences from people who just aren't able to have that responsibility currently (some of them will never be able to mange that responsibility).

At a time when everything else is being cut and prices are going up, it's also easy to see how some people will get into difficulty and take £20 here and there in order to get by, with intentions of paying it back, but then find they are unable to do so.

It's going to be awful

That is exactly it! I witnessed years ago, friends who were forced to live on their own at an early age, receive rent payment directly. Being on low incomes and also being inexperienced at budgeting, they would dip into the funds when they were short for essentials ect, which just led to even bigger problems and this was in the mid '90s. I do fear how much worse it will be in this current climate

Yes it was a Gatso, and that's what I thought too, thanks. Will let you know if I get my collar felt...

Air/sea currents. Things like the Gulf stream for example influence temperature of a large scale.

Hopefully, you'll be OK

Not sure how it works but the Gulf stream is a warm ocean current that comes from Florida region to N. Atlantic which brings warmth to places like the UK. There are other ocean currents which prob cool/warm areas around the globe.
