Interesting thing on BBC TV "Britain'sBrightest" tonite, ademo of sight fooling hearing. Two taxi drivers were instructed to go to a location by a video message One taxi driver watched & heard the message, the other was blindfolded & only heard the same message. The taxi driver who saw the video understood it as go to Vale Road The taxi driver who heard the message understood it as go to Bale Road Video was filmed as go to Vale...

I've been to Petra a couple of times when visiting Jordan re work, the last time was about 20 years ago. Mrs D would like to go. There are a couple of cruise itineraries that call into Aqaba with day trips to Petra and also Wadi Rum. They...

Folks, I've been compiling a new draft post (and saving regularly), however have just been given message that I can no longer edit it ("You can only modify this within 60 minutes of originally posting"), and it only gives me option to delete it -...

Just throwing this question out there to see if anyone can shed any light. I have a Ford Focus 2002 Station Wagon and the two small lights that illuminate the registration plate keep failing, the fuse keeps blowing. I have tried a number of...

Just a quick question. Does anyone know why Jim Davidson has been named, yet the other suspect hasn't? Are the crimes they're suspected of completely different maybe? Tony

I just had a bright idea! Can"t NAIM sponsor our Dutch Darter Micheal van Gerwen.They can save some pennies on the shirt. It's Already Naim-green.!

As the midnight hour approaches, just wanted to wish everyone a great 2013. Keep the forum sweet and enjoy the music Paul

Hope to see you all in 2013....KRTony

Reason for asking is i have just got back from taking SHMBO out for Sunday lunch. Went to a place in South Godstone which is a pub with half of it turned into an Indian Restaurant. Arrived at 1.45pm and found about 6 punters in the pub section watching Everton v Chelsea on SPANISH tv (dodgy me thinks). On Sundays they do a starter,main course + all the bits and bobs for £10.00. The food is fine,no problems,but when we went into the Restaurant part to eat is was EMPTY. We had the entire place...

Looks woeful to me but I might be missing something....? Any recommendations? G

Hi all, Is there a pm system in use on the forum? I have had a look but its not obvious if there is! :D

Ok guys, now Xmas has arrived, time to start thinking of what new years resolutions your going to make? To start off, I am going to give up the drink again, and stop eating sweet stuff! Whats yours going to be?

With Christmas looming I'm curious how many of you will receive any kind of Christmas bonus/thank-you this year from your employer and what it will be?? For what it's worth my employer (a leading regional airline) give all staff a £10 M&S voucher and usually pay a contribution for a Christmas meal to the value of £17.50 per head in a restaurant of choice organised by staff. The meal has been cancelled this year due to the recession. My previous employer (BA) back in the late 1990's used...

By now even the lawmakers should think it must be time to remove guns from private ownership in the U.S.? I mean big time clampdown, hand them in amnesty type thing, then boof, that's it, illegal to have firearms anywhere other than locked down...

Did anyone get up at 2.00am on Boxing Day morning to go shopping? Did anyone go shopping for a three piece suite on Boxing Day.

It was just mentioned on Carry On Cruising, and I realised I haven't seen the yucky dried out fish on an Indian menu for around 20 years. Wossappened? Tony

Time for a REAL football post on this forum . The Seahawks are playoff bound for certain.  With a rookie QB and looking better each game.  Should be an interesting post-season.

 My best greetings to all. May we all enjoy a peaceful time with no conflicts, anxieties, fears. And may we all enjoy great music: in pubs, concert halls, on the sidewalk, in friends' places or in unsuspected venues, sharing it with everyone...

So, top of the league, 6 points clear of Man Utd...Brilliant!

Just as NAIM HQ closes today until the New Year I wonder if it might be worth closing the forums too ?, perhaps not for as long, say from the 24th-26th ? There is not a lot of real interest over this period and it might be nice to have a break from...

Just saw this in the news. Hope all is well for you in the chateau, Nigel.... Mike
