If anyone else was in Bowness this weekend, or more accurately in Lake Windermere, for this event then I hope you enjoyed it. 18/12 or so after some major health problems my wife completed the 1 mile swim in 43 minutes with a huge smile, and...
Yesterday's 'Weiner Exposed' must be a tabloid writers dream ticket and reminds me of other ludicrous excuses. Ron Davis - 'Badger watching' and the Glasgow Sherriff caught in a 'massage parlour' stating that he had only 'come in for a...
The 'Wine' thread touched on some interesting issues, although perhaps with more heat than light. One of our policies as a couple is to attempt to identify and consistently use those companies who state their comittments to support charities or...
I received an email yesterday from the Coemedians pushing unwanted tickets for next year's big sports day. In the email are hyperlinks to events where tickets are still available, the link giving a list of events under that category with tickets still...

Right or left handed? As we grow from infancy to childhood, it becomes clear that as individuals, we are are left-handed or right. We learn to eat left or right-handed, and write left-handed or right. My late mother was a very powerful...
Since getting my Kindle I'm slowly populating it with favourite old books no longer in my paperback collection. I remember a Science Fiction novel (or possibly it was a series of 2), which I must have read 10-25 years ago. It involved...
Many "veteran" forum members have left while others (such as myself) are slowly starting to dip their feet back into the water. Are all of the updates and fixes in place or are others still remaining to be implemented? One component of the...
Brain Teasers at XmasXmas time - and many of us will be off on holiday or meeting up with friends and family. For those with a bit of time on their hands, I thought I would post a dozen (12 days of Xmas ?) brain teasers to help keep your minds in...
In an ever changing world of fads and gimmicks, it is reassuring to know that some things are perennially cool. Vinyl replay is one of those; never have I regretted my vinyl collection. What about the dark underside of fashion though? I look back in...

Sometimes the BBC makes bloody decent TV
I recently visited a book store that a had a rack of vinyl as well as some other audiophile-related stuff, including the April and May, 1955, issues of "The Grammophone Record Review". Here are a couple of adverts that I hope bring back...
I took one of my cats to the vet yesterday after my Lurcher attacked it,he sustained a broken ankle as a result, which need pinning. I expected the cat to have some injuries, but what I did not expect was he had been shot with a pellet gun, there...
One of the biggest insurance companies in the world held a party for salesmen where they were rewarded with the services of prostitutes. Munich Re is the world's biggest re-insurer - in other words, the company acts as an insurance company for other...
Applied for 8 pairs at various venues and prices but no joy unfortunately. I cannot believe the moaning that has gone on about the process, ultimately 22 million applications and 6 million tickets just does not go. I'd have loved to have gone but will...
