Forgive me for such a late comment on this. My son once told me where Rolf Harris lived, but I can't remember where. All I remember is (ironically) the next door neighbour had a eucalyptus tree in the front garden. Apparently, my son and his mates often wound up Rolf by playing knock down ginger on ...

Yeah, they should definitely legalize it.

Then us blokes would have no fear either

20 ain't plenty, come on!
How did we get lumbered with this piece of crap set at 20 down this Westwood Hill? Today I saw someone brake and another car went into the back of it.
Why there on that hill?
Which crazy idiot sanctioned this??

As a rule of thumb, well my thumb at least, if your builder turns up wearing jogging bottoms, jog him on. His horse will be dodgy too

I rarely give money to charity. Though if I won a fortune, I've always thought I'd buy the RNLI a lifeboat & fund its use for many years. To be honest, I did wonder after I had originally posted here, how many replies I'd get - & how many pennies I'd have to shell out :lol: Anyway, there were no ...

The roads have gone from bad to worse. My car just will not drive smoothly at 20mph unless I have it in 2nd or rarely 3rd. Take Dulwich Wood Park for example. It used to have a 40mph dual carriageway. Now it is single track and set at 20mph. Does anyone actually drive on that road at 20mph? - I ...

Hello to all, At a time such as now, with both jackpots for both Lotto & Eurommillions rising high. 16.2 & 121 million pounds respectively. So being a somewhat greedy person, I'm torn between choosing which ticket to purchase. Do I opt for the Euromillions and pay £2.50 a line or settle for the ...

Hello
My son's fence went over last year. He was in the same boat as you. However, he spoke to his neighbour and together they contributed towards the repair. Maybe you could try too?

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, nicely furnished and welcoming staff. The food is great! quite reasonably priced, and really tasty. I did find their soft drinks were a little overpriced, but apart from that, everything was good. I'm considering getting a takeaway from there one evening ...

Hello there JRobinson, many thanks for pulling me up on almost everything I said. I trust you had a splendid Christmas and are still in a cheery festive mood - or perhaps not I think 20 is too slow! I drive a focus, nothing fancy, a 1.6. Am I expected to drive in third gear without using the ...

I think 20 is too slow! I drive a focus, nothing fancy, a 1.6. Am I expected to drive in third gear without using the accelerator? Constantly braking? Surely, the roads could be made wider in many places, but it is always the pavement or massive verge which is improved. I digress. Modern cars are ...

If you have the ability to strip down the laptop and can actually see the loose joint on the PCB, may I suggest you use some flux, applied by matchstick to the soldered connections, not allowing any excess flux to touch other parts of the PCB. ......a little flux will be a great help to get the ...

Hello,
Yes, the milkmen are getting fewer and fewer thesedays.
It was not on my street, just part of my daily route.

Hello, Yesterday afternoon whilst walking along the High Street, I noticed numerous broken bottles scattered around. Then today along the same route there were more. They were empty milk bottles. It looks so unsightly, why won't some people dispose of their waste properly? I'm afraid someone will ...

I was going to write a full and detailed rebuttal. I might yet, but to be frank I can't be bothered. I doubt you'd listen to any reason and are set in your bitter and twisted ways. All I can say is that I pity you Lisa. You seem to live in a very bitter, warped and ignorant little world. I suspect ...

Hello once again, Firstly I offer my sincere thanks for all your kind messages and PMs too. I'm very touched by many of you. My broadband package was in the process of being switched from Tiscali to Sky. I obtained the MAC from Tiscali, but Sky were very slow to respond. Meanwhile I'd been cut off ...

I feel very lucky to be alive! Thursday evening on the way back from the Off Licence with my bottle of malt and fresh packet of cigs I was ambushed on the roundabout at the bottom of my road by 4 hoodies. The main ring leader looked about 20 or so. He aspproached me asking for a light. When I faced ...

Hey can I join in please? I have noticed a new teenage show-off, better than those horrid sounding mobile tones, silly batty pants, or designer knock-offs:- Recently I have come across a few occasions whilst driving, young men letting their dog walk 2 - 3 steps ahead off-lead, un-muzzled and across ...

Did you know there were some managers from The Post Office who scooped over half a million pounds bonus last year? The humble sub Post Office will be like Green Shield Stamps, Kirks Cameras, Twilights, Shakers......A thing of the past! OK we probably won't mind Twilights and Shakers shutting, but ...

Hiya If I were you I would stick with a well known company such as BSM, AA RAC etc. Their prices will not be the cheapest but I think their vehicles are always newer. The larger companies generally tend to have very patient instructors. By going to a smaller joe bLoggs driving school but you can ...
