Hi Shelley. You can grow all sorts of stuff in quite small spaces. My grandson only has a tiny paved back yard, but I got him some cheap oblong washing up bowls. The hard bit is drilling holes about...

I have 2 hedgehogs in my garden. The boar sleeps in the space under the workshop. You can hear him snoring . If they want to get out of the garden, they will. The chicken fence is 2 metre high...

What an odd statement to make. I was working class from a Council House, though in a nice cul-de-sac with only 26 houses. The "sink estate" was the other side of the railway. The local Public Day...

If the Govt. can't pay pensioners a decent amount, then they can't afford to send our money abroad.
I got a rise in my pension of £4.30 per week. My Income Tax, thanks to George Brown's Budget last...

Always loads of caterpillars here especially from Cabbage Whites. They were eating my veggies so I got a pair of Silkie Bantams, and they keep the plants clean. I love the Wisteria. I have 2 but...

Maybe he didn't believe you really had set the reserve at £150.

I bought a new PC from Tesco. It has Vista Home Basic. I hate it. Loads of bells and whistles I don't need and will never use. I still have my XP disc, and I'm still using my old PC atm. The new PC...

I upgraded to IE7 when I first heard about it.
Known Phishing sites are indicated by a pink strip at the top. You can also report Phishing Sites usung the toolbar. I have given up reporting scams...

Inbreeding doesn't necessarily lead to "mutant" children, though there is a disorder which only occurs in the children of an incestuous relationship, and has been used in court to prosecute the...

I know of a couple who married and had 2 perfectly normal children, then her mother realised her SIL was the son she gave up for adoption. She knew his adoptive surname but it is a quite common name,...

There is a lot of talk about cloning cards. Someone used my CC # to try to order a £250 phone plus a year's contract from Carphone Warehouse saying they would pick it up. My Bank vetoed the sale. I...

Henri Paul's blood samples "disappeared" after they showed a high concentration of Carbon Monoxide . The others in the car didn't. So unless he had a hose pipe from the exhaust to a gas mask the...

I thought that having 7 kids with 5 fathers was a bit OTT anyway. 3 of the children live with their fathers. It is very hard for fathers to get custody anyway... but 3 of them did which says the...

Allan, where did you get the animated alphabet from? My grand daughter would love them when I e-mail her.

Ignore the BMI Index. It was set up for Norwegian athletes [if my memory serves me well] and does not apply to non-athletes with less muscle tissue. It takes no notice of bone size either. A wrist...

I can't afford to put the so called energy saving bulbs all round the house. They last about the same as conventional bulbs (about 2 months here) then blow. They go off with a loud bang and a puff of...

Our local Freecycle is a total scam run for the benefit of the organiser and her cronies. I put up a "wanted" for a climbing frame for a 4 year old. No offers. One of the cronies put up a wanted ad...

The stupidest closure was the main PO in Slough. It had orderly queues, was easy to get to [accessed from the multi storey car park], and from the number of customers queueing every time I went...

We had 2 PO's in the "local" village. Both an hour's walk away from me.
One had ample parking, was by a bus stop, had helpful staff, and was close to 3 sets of OAP bungalows and the Nursing home. ...

Totally non PC, but my favourites are these two.

I went to bed an hour earlier having reset the clocks. I slept through the alarm because my brain decided it was still 5am. Woke up at 8 am nutime. Mad rush to get everything done. Cats, dogs and...

Yieeew, looks like a cannibalised gumball machine. I wouldn't want to put a coin in there.

Hi Dave. I well remember the "incidents" of items scammed by the name we were not allowed to mention. I think you were also on another website re:- the one who couldn't be mentioned. I was a lucky...

Buyer'sDelights, if you go to the "Store" on the top right it tells you when the "storekeeper" last visited the store.

Snowing and trying to settle. Freezing cold. I always know when we are going to have snow. I get a "snow headache" which is constant, including pain in my spine. 3 days now and painkillers don't...

I know it used to be common practice with Anglers to keep a couple of maggots under their tongue on a cold day. Maggots don't wriggle well when cold. I used to stick a charcoal hand warmer underneath...

Didn't Scaffold do a version of it?

We don't have a single NHS dentist here. Last one I went to was 12 years ago in Slough. Moslem dentist that spoke no English. His receptionist had to interpret. A 5 minute check up took 25 minutes. I...

I worked for a firm that tried DHL for a few months. DHL stood for Drop it, Hide it, Lose it.

Shouldn't that be ooooohhhhhmmmmm, oooohhhhhmmmm, Cocky? In the '60's it was Ohm Mani Padmium.
