  1. I certainly try to make do and mend, but there becomes a time when its just not practical to do so.

    Those lights are so cheap, I'm afraid renewal is the best option. 

    When I had wooden garden furniture, I virtually rebuild the bleddy things out of pallets over the years. Impossible now that I've only got Rattan style stuff.

  2. Twenty odd years ago when I was van driving for a living, I was pulled into one of those DVLA inspection places on the A1. Everything was okay, but I hadn't my documents on me. I attempted to show them at Strelley Police Station the following day, but couldn't gain access. 

    I eventually found Bulwell accessible a week later. 

  3. Park your car in Brighton ! Chuff that ! Last time I was there about 15 years ago, I was giving some good old Anglo Saxon verbals to a black guy who wanted to push in and nick a place I was heading for, and he pulled a gun on me !  His missus calmed him down thankfully.

  4. I'd have thought that leaning forward would only you to force things thereby causing piles to appear !  

    I've got a little foot stool, and sit with my arms on my knees reading, or on my iPad !

    Automatic seat cleaning ! It's a good job you weren't still sitting on it Lizzie, or you might have got more than you bargained for ! You'd be dizzy, wet, and oh, and  that brush can be a bit unnerving, embarrassing, not to say a mite painful.

    Oh God, what a subject. Let's get on to bad driving, litter, fly tipping or vandalism !

  5. In yesterday's Evening Post, a 23 year old guy who'd been banned from driving 9 times, yes 9 times, was only jailed for 2 years, and banned for 44 months. He was in a stolen vehicle, no insurance and driving while disqualified. He drove through red lights, hit bollards and lost a wheel, carried on speeding, and narrowly missed workers in a section of road works. 

    Just how long does it take for a dimwit of a judge to finally see the light. The guy should have been jailed ages ago, and banned from driving for life ! Truly unbelievable !
