So as not to hijack a thread ..... What's happening in the gulf is indeed awful but lets hope the anger and frustration that is being put in to solve it moves on to Nigeria where something similar has been happening for some years and continues...

Clean, tidy, smell & garbage free, & that included the remote "long-drop" toilets found in places like you would never expect in UK. One small town had such an outstanding facility I took the opportunity of speaking at length to the guy who...

I sold this mixed case today.€56,000.00 - bargain.And the chap will drink all of them in the next month. Which I suppose is what it was made for.He'd probably baulk at paying £15k for a cd player though, so it takes all sorts.

Will be there for a few days later this month, just want a crash pad with some mates.Days Inn Arlington looks decent enough - any tips?TIABB

We've just been forced to cut down the beautiful big conifer at the bottom of our garden as the roots were breaking up a public footpath on the other side of our fence. Our back garden was beautifully secluded but is now quite exposed at that far...

Bought a new 2GB Verbatim USB stick because I'd lost my other one. (used principally for taking photos to be printed)As usual if came in that stupid type of packaging which you have to destroy in order to get at the contents. Finished up taking a...

Listened to Pirates of Penzance earlier this evening. As usual when it got to "is there not one maiden" when the line "I, sore at heart" came, at first I thought it was "I saw a tart".And that reminded me of other "mishearings" ...e.g. that notorious...

Exhilarating but dangerous!
