Not particularly useful, but quite interesting...

I've ordered a calculator from amazon and will be going for a look at page 138 as soon as it arrives.

Thanks Dan and Bongo.

   Wasn't until you posted about the calculator, that I even got what they were on about.

Any thoughts on the this story Tom? http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/jan/22/travellers-face-eviction-essex

I'm not sure if they are Travellers or Gypsies? Could you explain the difference again please.

Reasonably accurate if somewhat provocative details here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4545929.stm

The difference between travellers and Gypsies? Gypsies are an ethnic minority with a common ancestry, culture and language.

You can choose to be, or not to be a traveller. You cannot choose to be, or not to be a Gypsy.

To further muddy the waters, Genuine traditional Irish Travellers (Not to be confused with new age travellers or any other group) have just recently been given ethnic minority status.

That goes for you and 95% of the rest of the population, including local authorities, the police, the politicians and the media.

While I was out today, my daughter Bridie rang me. With rising panic in her voice, she told me that our little dog Kizzy was missing.

Now Kizzy never leaves the place, she just doesn't go anywhere, so I was quite worried myself. I rushed home and set about looking for her, eventually walking down the main road in the village calling her name.

Steve, the bloke from the garage told me that a woman had asked him if someone had lost a dog, and had left her number with him. I rang the number and told the woman that it was my dog and that I would like to collect her. She told me I was too late, because she had rang the dog warden.

Biting my tongue, I persuaded her to give me her address and I went to collect my dog.

Once I had the dog safely installed in my car, I thanked the woman for her trouble.

"By the way, I asked, "Where did you find her?"

"She was running about in that field" came the reply, "You know, the one where the Gypsies are."   

[Laxie]

How you didn't strangle her..........

[Wardonkey]

How you didn't strangle her..........

I hope you did...

[TightEnd]

It's not Kizzie's fault.

That must be really worrying.

My dog was on a drip for 2 weeks a couple of years ago when he had parvovirus. He lost 3 stone in those 2 weeks but still made a comeback to be a big strapping lad again now.

They can work miracles those vets so try not to worry too much.

Hope he gets better soon.
