Well, they didn't like me telling them why I was leaving, but as I'd already made payment to Plusnet, there was no going back. I lost about ten hours of my life last year because of BT's lies and incompetence. I managed to keep my calm and kept...

And what did you see? I'll get the ball rolling. Last Thursday went to the private view of the George Bellows exhibition at the Royal Academy in London.   Bellows is often regarded as a neglected American artist, especially when...

Why, when I park my car in a car park that is virtually empty, or otherwise far away from anyone else, when I get back to it, someone has parked right next me! Why, with all that space, would someone make their life difficult??!?!!? steve

This looks horrendous - seems that two men have just hacked a soldier to death in Woolwich, and then waited around for the Police to turn ...

Just been on Facebook to see if any new piccies of grandkids, and it seems they now advise me to add my phone number to 'secure my account and more' Not bloody likely!  They'd only add it to some saleable database and I'd get yet more...

As we progress through 2013, I want to thank you all for your educational e-mails over the past year. I am totally screwed up now and have little chance of recovery. I can no longer open a bathroom door without using a paper towel, nor let the waitress put lemon slices in my ice water without worrying about the bacteria on the lemon peel. I can't sit down on a hotel bedspread because I can only imagine what has happened on it since it was last washed. I have trouble shaking hands with...

Well, my 8 year old digital camera has finally curled up its toes so I'm on the hunt for something new.  Things seem to have progressed a bit and there's a ton of choices out there.   I'm not really looking for a point and shoot.  I...

Enough with 9/11 already! Let's get serious. Morrissey foretold death of Princess Diana The Smiths album The Queen Is Dead features a song ‘There Is A Light That Never Goes Out’, that mentions death and a darkened underpass. The 13th word on side 1 is “Arches” and the 13th word on side 2 is “smash”, Princess Diana died when her car hit the 13th arch of the Alma Tunnel. Over to you...

Well, some evil little moron decided to 'key' my new car while it was parked outside my daughter's house this afternoon.  Can't imagine why (jealousy?), but I'd love to know who it was so that I could inflict some damage to something he/she values.

Forumites outside of the UK might not understand who I'm talking about, but one of our greatest comedy writers, Eddie Braben (centre), died today. Eddie was writer for (Eric) Morecambe & (Ernie) Wise, Britain's most beloved entertainers. In the 1970s, Eric and Ern's Xmas shows on the BBC attracted 25 to 30 million viewers: three-fifths of the UK population at the time. Every celebrity of the time queued up to be on the show in order to be (good-naturedly) humiliated...

I have started a separate thread, rather that dilute the jokes thread.IMHO the main problem with the jokes thread is that contributors overlook the fact that they have a widely varying audience.  The sort of joke one might tell a close friend...
