How about a thread of pictures showing freaky weather?

A Plebiscite on the EU in the UK? Whether I agree with the current HMG on many issues, I do believe they have it right to vote on whether the UK should continue to be a member of the EU. I am very much pro the EU, but we live in a...
Patty Andrews, the last surviving Andrews sister has died 94. I posted this because most of the older forum readers will have memories of this iconic close harmony swing trio from childhood. In the 1950 & 60's "the wireless" featured strongly in most homes & programs like Family Favorites & Forces Favorites invariably had at least one Andrews Sister request every week. I guess it was even more so for our US readers. But I doubt anyone on this forum has...

G'day, I've noticed recently a lot of the "ol" crowd seem to have disappeared, or are posting less frequently, eg Dark Bear, Polar Bear, Gale 401 Geoff C and loads more besides. I welcome new members, but I am puzzled by the absence of well...

"The corporation took the decision to cut a line from the show, in which Major Gowen, cantankerous permanent resident at Fawlty Towers, talks about the time he took a woman to see India play cricket: "The strange thing was, throughout the morning she...
I'm not trying to rationalize the fact that he cheated, but did it give him an advantage over the rest of the field? Most of his vacated titles cannot be re-awarded to close finishers because they are guilty as well. I'm quite interested...
Through to the Australian Open final once again. Unheard of achievements for a British male tennis player.Good luck on Sunday.

A major Catholic health provider in the US has successfully dismantled a wrongful death lawsuit brought against it by arguing — in defiance of its own long-held doctrine — that a dead fetus is not the same as a dead person.
This being my first ever thread in the Padded Cell, I'm not really that crazy, and you can find the news article on the BBC in relation to the Nature magazine article.Could this herald the real death of the CD, hard drive and USB stick?
Would anyone know a direct contact to discuss any opportunities turning my product design skills into a career within HiFi? I don't mean a generic HR email or reception call number but someone directly involved. I ask as it seems very...
Does anybody have any idea where I could buy a good quality wooden bed? This has caught my eye but it doesn't have to be like this. Thanks!
What is about local government ?? do they train to be impervious to fixing problems. Has any one else got some amusing, frustrating but hopefully Monty Python’esk stories. This morning was such an event - The local council has rock salt boxes in strategic places around the village to help us during the real problems we get with the many hills around the place M y small "close" road has a steep'ish slope out onto the main road (1/10 hill) & I have volunteered to collect & spread a...
RAV4 v CRV v BMW X3 Its time to replace our RAV4 that we use when in Canada. Its been a superb vehicle for the past 10 years or so and still in good condition, but Mrs D thinks we should modernise. 4WD and reasonable ground clearance is essential. Daughter No 1 (in Newbury) has a BMW X3 which looks really cool. Of the three vehicles it’s the one I most like the looks of. It’s sort of comfortable to drive. But its only about 4 years old and she has only done 60k and a few weeks ago the turbo...
I recently heard someone extend the alcohol, cigarettes, etc argument to food. The logic being that food is too cheap - therefore undervalued and wasted.
I was thinking about buying a 400mm lens (a starter lens would do) for my Nikon D5100 and a friend suggested I buy a Tele Extender which would fit between my camera and my AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f4 lens to 'double the focal length at a...
As with Jessops, no surprise.

If so, we Americans and Brits are all in the same boat--and it't the...
I just had a thought, while watching the film Carry On Cabby (1963), which was filmed when I was conceived. Number one mid April 1963 was Gerry and the Pacemakers with How Do You Do It. Yes, I chuckled.
What about you?
