Good stuff. Tony

Twice in my life I have had wrist watches of a fine quality, but both of which I managed to loose within months. The reason being that they were too heavy, so that I could not wear them, but resorted to putting them in my pocket, and thus soon enought...

I've only been on this forum for a couple of months but already I'm pissed off by some of the over-aggressive posts from forum bullies.Any chance we can have some kind of civilized discussion - even with those we disagree with?Regards,Nigel

Who else hates giving cats pills?Last night saw me (and a thick towel) doing battle with our 4 cats to get a pill into each one of them.I have tried covering the pills in food; crushing them onto food; crushing them into cat milk and so on, but the...

I am a very loyal Gold Card zillion air miles BA traveller.But this lunacy - on both sides - seems to be something I cannot fathomSurly BA must have seen this coming, what kind of HR advised them, or who decided not to negotiate on this. I would...

Hi guys,I'm about to get some tickets sorted out for the F1 GP at Silverstone and although I've been there for the 1000Km race (since we got back from Oz) it's been many a year since I was there on a GP day.There seems to be a variety of ticket...

Harrummph...I need to get over to London as my father has been taken ill - not catastrophic/urgent, but soon (between Christmas and new year functions for me workwise - I am away from 7th Jan with work).I check Easyjet's site this morning and make a...

They've started here in my village with a vengance. Those appalling, tacky santas, snowmen and all the other cr*p wasting the earth's resources on their pointless and vulgar displays.I can take a few twinkly lights, even those "icicle" ones but not...

I'm trying to get a print of this picture, but cant remember where I saw it from, and the picture is too small to make out the name at the bottom - any ideas of who the artist is or where I can get my hands on a copy?It didn't get any results at...

I am surprised that no one has started a post on the convictions for the murder of British student Meredith Kercher. The www is full of it but most chat seems to be over US senator Maria Cantwell who said: "I am saddened by the verdict and I have...

Hi folks,I am trying to find an art framer, preferably local to me in West Yorkshire, who can supply this type of modern box frame. I have a number of prints that I have gathered over the years and it's time I got them framed. I have googled and been...

For my birthday last week my wife bought me a real surprise gift; a first edition of Graham Greene's Monsignor Quixote, signed by the author.I'm delighted with this, Greene is a favourite of mine and it seems really nice to have his signature in the...

Interesting discussion about this with a chap I sat next to on a plane yesterday...something I'd not thought about previously.Should folk in the UK who are the descendants of slave traders, and are sitting on significant amounts of inheritance from...
