D'you think birdsong is them talking to us ??!

I'm a bit compromised about the smoking ban thing. On one hand I think all smokers are devil men, but on the other hand I think there's some kind of attack on civil liberties going on. I hear that. But d'you feel the same way about not being able to use far less addictive drugs/being forced to wear...

I've got buggerall idea wether he'll go or stay, but can say from experience that there comes a time in your life when you conclude "Sod this,I don't need it anymore,still love the game,don't need the hassle". Seems to me,that any Scottish manager that's rebuilt his reputation through PL s...

Also practised my bondage skills on the Asparagus, tying them up to banboo poles. They are seriously big - one has already reached the top of the green house. That's got me scratching my head,Indy, d'you live in 'The Land that Time Forgot'??!!. [ You can reuse the old compost,just use it like it's ...

Hardly ,RS, if you just listened to me and TOMOS whinging on all day you'd all commit Hari Kiri.

Thank God for a bit of good news

If she were my MP, I'd definitely vote for the lettuce.

That's one of the weirdest things I've seen online, and I've found some pretty weird sh*t. For what must be the definition of 'weird' go to BBC Sounds or I Player ( sorry, if someone else could do a link I'd be grateful). Here you will enjoy a wide ranging interview by Chris Mason with that promine...

My oldest turned 18 last week. I found it quite emotional for a bit the day before, just thinking of the fact her childhood was over. I saw a dad with his little girl on the bus, and thought that's what I was doing with mine once. The thought of both of mine growing up and moving out is going to be...

Surely it also follows that being progressive will cost you points well if you do it in every game. It's not a silver bullet, especially if you have 50+ games a season as de zerbi seems to be discovering. Tbh I've watched a few Brighton games this year and they are pretty tedious, knocking it about...

Since the notion of 'State' was created ,unpopular leaders have realised that their downtrodden population,however much they're p*ssed off , will ,pathetically(IMO), rally round the flag. Witness one far right ,criminal Israeli leader, a bunch of psychotic theocratic Nazis in Iran, and a weak US Pre...

The greatest scourge of old age isn't infirmity/demise /etc, it's daytime TV......... But no more...

BBC Parliament Channel covering this enquiry live, and some of the squirming is simply delicious.

I understand why people love flash cars, they make a real statement and some of the brand marketing is nothing short of genius but I'm far more likely to stand and stare at an awesome old oak tree than I am a shiny new McLaren. Speaking purely personally,and honestly for once, I guess there's a bit...

Stick him in the House of Lords.

No.

I've opted for a 16 year old Skoda Fabia with 120k miles on the clock. Almost full main dealer service history and decent body work. £1520 all in, I reckon I've got a bargain. :scarfer: You have. :thup: I'm a fully paid up member of 'a car's my way of getting from one place to another......and that...

Thanks Mushy, As far as I can tell(although it's this ridiculous inability to get my information that's holding up a definite explanation) ,when I was a teacher 80-82 I paid into the teachers pension scheme instead of NI. Because I quit in less than 5years ( I was rubbish), I don't actually qualify ...

Indy,I'm having problems with pension contributions but the pension people can't sort it because the Inland Revenue won't supply them with the details,this is a State Pension,and I'm being underpaid over 30quid a week, with a backlog of ballpark 4K. I can't get any response and there seems little yo...

Don't want to put this in the mental health thread,as 1) I'm not looking for any response, and 2) There's plenty of people going through all sorts of shyte,and I'm old and not special. I see a specialist HF nurse every 2 weeks so I'm very fortunate.These last few weeks,I've become really aware of an...

Utterly ridiculous to begin the season so early.Ruining county cricket,and as a subsequence,seriously hampering test cricket, just so they can run a rounders competition in the school holidays..............insanity.

To be boringly serious for a moment, if you have a den in your garden,there will be upsides(presuming you don't keep poultry).As Burnley points out,you'll get no problem with rodents,and it'll probably deter the neighbouring cats too. To protect your garden,(just a suggestion) look to put some elect...
