Do you think Camilla should be crowned queen?Yes she should be Queen when Charles is King. She has put up with the eccentric Charles(who is sometimes tetchy) and when she gets fed up goes back to her house in the countryside. She is a strong pretty well balanced woman and will make a good Queen. I think she has earned the right to be crowned.ViewDate:

Should smoking be brought back into pubs?definitely no to encouraging smoking.We smoked so early around 15 and when we climbed up to the top deck on the bus it was almost impossible to see who was up there. I remember driving many miles to find a shop open for cigarettes late at night because my friends had all ran out and we were like junkies. I drove 30 miles and back in Cornwall one night to get to a late night Garage,Thankfully I gave up in my 40s and have never regretted that.No more searching for a dog end, no more stinking fingers, no more searching the house for the one you were sure you had "somewhere". So glad none of my Grandchildren smoke. I once worked for a Consultant Doctor,(he was a Sir) he was writing a large report on the connection of smoking and lung cancer. He was about 70 and a very intelligent man. Whilst he was dictating the report to me he lit one cigarette after another. I opened the window as far as it would go as soon as he left my office. I think many people have stopped now but I notice that the youngsters seem to be smoking more. I think the scary adverts should be played more on tv and cinemas as there is no doubt that Smoking shortens lives and is the cause of many fatal illnesses.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.You seem to have many interests, I have a grandson who spends much of his spare time fishing, either in UK or in France and now I am in Eire he is planning on a fishing holiday here especially as I live on a Quay. He intends to be a copywriter and he is a very outgoing pleasant young man. My Grandson is Michael also. What does Zoology entail?? Sounds very interesting. I am sure you will hear from plenty of Silver Surfers. Good luck.ViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.you are only 66 you also have had the advantage of going to university, so you are educated therefore you could give classes to would be uni students (my grandson does this as well as training to be a sports journalist he earns £20 per hour. If you did something similar. You love dogs, look after somebody elses dogs whilst they work and you will make friends also the dogs can run around with their new doggie friends. Your daughters are probably busy with jobs or children could you have the children around to your place once or twice a week and give their parents some free time. Have you tried homeopathic treatment for your spondylosis or reiki? I hope you can find something that will help you from feeling so alone but in my experience nobody is going to wave a wand and make it better you are the one who should join a local group, or be a volunteer or advertise for eccentric dog owners to join you in your walks. I am 78 left my country to live in Ireland for a new experience which I love, met some wonderful folk here and we laugh ALOT so just join a group or whatever,or have coffee mornings at your house with the eccentric dog owners. best wishes aliceViewDate:

Just joined so I'm introducing myself.I WORRY FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN IN LONDON ESPECIALLY THE ONE WHO IS TRAVELLING ON TUBE EVERYDAY TO UNI. THE WORLD HAS CHANGED AND UNFORTUNATELY I BELIEVE THE MR.BLAIR AND MR. BUSH SHOULD HAVE LEFT IRAQ ALONE. THE BOMBING OF INNOCENT PEOPLE CAUSED THE CRISIS IN THAT COUNTRY AND PRODUCED ISIS. UNFORTUNATELY MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED AND OTHERS HAVE LOST FAMILY AND HOMES I FEEL VERY VERY SORRY FOR THE REFUGEES WHO HAVE BEEN FORCED TO FLEE THE BOMBING MANY OF THEM LOSING THEIR LIVES AND ALSO THEIR CHILDREN'S LIVES. IT IS A TRAGEDY FOR ALL. I FEEL SAD THAT THE REFUGEES WILL BE TREATED WITH SUSPICION AS BEING ISIS MEMBERS. EIRE IS TAKING IN 5000 WHICH IS SMALL COMPARED WITH SOME COUNTRIES. HOWEVER, EIRE HAS A SHORTAGE OF HOUSING FOR THE PRESENT POPULATION AND I FEAR THAT THERE MAY BE TROUBLE IF REFUGEES GET HOUSES THAT SHOULD BE ALLOCATED TO THE IRISH HOMELESS. DUBLIN IS FULL OF HOMELESS IRISH CITIZENS. I THINK THE CRISIS NEEDS THE UNITED NATIONS TO WORK TOGETHER TO SORT THE MANY PROBLEMS IN A IN A FAIR WAY.ViewDate:
