Well, I managed to pull together a fruit salad with watermelon, pineapple, nectarine, grape, & raspberry, and I had a nice Earl Grey and a Rooibos, and I made sandwiches: honey maple ham & irish cheddar; turkey, avo, & smoked gouda; cream cheese & smoked cucumber; egg salad with curry; and mascarpone with pomegranate jelly. Also orange juice. Nobody starved or anything, but there was a big flavor/texture gap where the baked goods should've been.

So sad.

Oh dear, how infuriating for you (and how inconsiderate of your flat-mate). But the sandwiches sound yummy...

I WANT.

12x7 inches is a lot of space -- I could use a QALYN KNUCKLES handbag -- and who couldn't?

If you promise to do all my mending, I'll buy the sewing machine and you can come live in my basement. It's a nice basement, not smelly and damp, mind. But there is a pool table to contend with. And perhaps not ideally located. (I don't think I have quite enough mending to support another person. But I have a nice oven that's not sparkling clean, but it doesn't fill the house with smoke. Yet...).

Will there be room for my books in the basement? And a de-humidifier?

I would happily, happily, cook-sew-mend-carpent (what's the right form of carpenter?) for a living, but I couldn't live with the dampness. It curls the pages.

Could you move to Los Angeles and build a house on top of my house? That way mine would be your house's basement, but with no chill or damp for me.

I'd love to Move to LA and have an above-ground basement. (Which I always want to spell "basecement.") But life is a bit too complex to manage that at the mo.

We're like two basements that passed in the night. Alas.

I wish I had a basement. Basements are such a good idea.

Nobody has basements here, though. I don't know why. Maybe the subterranean water line is too high, or something.

I have a basement.

Trust me, you don't want one.

They don't *have* to be full of bodies, Alex.

Well no, but it's a space, let's face it, it would be a crime not to fill it somehow, or so teh *voices* seem to keep on insisting.

Hello there,

I am resurrecting this thread because gals we have to do something to counteract this and this. They may be young but this isn't sexxy. Cartier polo, a talk on the kabbalah, are these really the options for a young WI member?

Sorry, but I have to ask - Alas, what in the good lord's name is an above ground basement? I thought that one of the defining qualities of a basemnt is that it's below ground, or have I just missed something really obvious?(This has happened before...)

And Anna, if you need some help making the WI a bit more sexy, the I suggest you ask that Justin Timberlake fellow - I hear he's bringing sexy back.

It might be worth noting that the Fulham W.I. are hardly representative of the W.I. in general, or indeed young women for that matter.

It might be worth the Fulham W.I. noting that there are probably women in Fulham who might like to belong to the W.I. but who can't afford to swan about at Cartier Polo meets. Currently the Fulham W.I. seem to be under the false impression that they are running an elite society in which one has to have, shall we say certain 'qualifications' to join, notswithstanding that which should be the only one; being female.
