They used to break very easy if dropped on their edge. Sorry Mum!

I still can't remember who worked there though!

IMMSC our old Dansette had a little lever type thing on the arm, one way was a needle for 45s/33s you moved it round and it had another needle for 78s

I can honestly state I've only ever been in a Starbucks twice, both times 'cause we were with the mother in law and she insisted on paying. I've never been in any of the other chains, and if I'm honest I used to enjoy the 4p a cup vending machine stuff we got at Raleigh in the 70s!. My favourite is by far the Kenco instant my lad makes me when he comes in from school!

Ok for want of an easy life, can you tell me why does my Mums copies of 'Everyday' by ''Buddy Holly'' and 'Mary's Boy Child' by "Harry Belafonte" clearly have/had 'Bakelite' inscribed on the label? I remember asking what it meant (About 50 years ago) and getting told that it was a type of early plastic. Sorry if that sounds nasty, it's not intended that way.

I got a 'bargain' a couple of years back.... A friend of a friend had some baby Netherlands dwarf lop rabbits going for free! Our Charlotte wanted a rabbit, we decided we couldn't afford the £900 that they were asking for Golden Cockers, so this was a 'cheap' option. Our Adam was rather upset so we decided to get him the other female they were still giving away............... Cheap? HA!! One hutch £60 Collect hutch from Birmingham £20. Raw materials to build a run £60 Having them neutered after the only female of the two started having babies!!.....£120 Bag of straw £2 a week And to cap it a

Bakelite?........ Hope you got a good price for them !!

It's amazing how the media and 'fickle fans' behave at times, after beating the Welsh despite losing at half time, ''Woy'' was a 'tactical genius' with his changes for us to then go on and win......... Not forgetting we won every single qualifier......... Yet straightaway after one loss he's the worlds great Satan! Armholes the lot of them!

Love to see Physco do it too, only problem being he's rubbish at the managerial side, passion and pride in abundance, but managerial skills, nope.

He later calmed down and got a job on the "Starship Enterprise"

No they are all professionals and play for teams all over Europe, just like the English (Though long gone are the days where we bring players back from other countries to play for our national squad, as they are all a load of lazy good for nothing idle b45t4rd5 who think the world owes them a living)

Precisely my point, anybody who can make the premier league is on at least £50,000 per week (That's over £2,600,000 per week when you take their promotional material into consideration, they then more or less automatically get in the England squad because there is no competition these days, vis a vis, they play on the 'world stage' get picked automatically, get a wage rise as they are of an international quality and are then like pigs in pooh for the rest of their lives and no longer feel the need to show a bit of passion for the international game. It's all down to the revenue generated by Sk

No body said you did push in, so please don't try and defend the indefensible. You asked "Why am I so unlucky?" I've merely explained how I was told it happens, and anybody with an ADI should have already been told too.

I've said it once, I've said it twice and I'll go on saying it till I'm blue in the face................. We'll never be any good till we stop allowing so many foreign players into our leagues, not a racist thing honest, hear me out please...................... If we limit the teams to one foreigner per team, as per cricket, then we will be forced to bring players through our 'youth teams' as did the likes of Man Utd in the early 80s, also then feeding the 'big boys' and using the revenue created to keep the little clubs afloat. I've been saying it for years, but nobody ever listens (I even w

It stops moving because 'impatient' people see a bit of a gap push in forcing the driver behind to 'slam on' this braking then shoots back down the line, thus holding every body up back down that lane, your original lane moves to take up the spaces of the 'impatient' people. The secret being, stay in your lane, keep up with the flow of traffic, don't leave gaps for 'impatient' people to try and push into and don't think "The grass is always greener" I know it's easier said than done but that's the way it is. No offence meant, but that's from over 20 years of driving up to 2000 miles a week

It was a game we played regularly, in Fine Fare, Carlton. One of us would pick up something unusual (Usually sanitary towels) and drop them into an old persons trolly, then follow them to the till, stand behind them all innocent like, and watch their reaction when the put them on the conveyor. Some were that embarrassed the bought them ..................................... Sorry !

Just finished (In order) since Christmas The latest QI book The Scrapper, a serious story by Brendan O'Carrol, of Mrs Browns Boys fame, I've also recently read his Mrs Brown trilogy, The Mammy, The Granny and The Chiselers................ Just discovered he's done another about Mrs Brown as a young girl too. Notts County, On this day............... basically as it says , something that happened on this day regarding Notts County. Trigger Mortis by Anthony Horowitz.............. The latest James Bond book Currently re reading a QI book of general ignorance as I couldn't start my next project b

That moment when........... you hear your daughter sing an acapela song on stage on her own in front of a couple of hundred people, for the first time ever, totally 'nailing' it no fears at all, me blubbing tears of joy as she finished, hearing the 'compare' saying something like " Well done sweetheart, I can see tears in the audience!" I thought surely she can't see me! I turn to hide my face and there's SWMBO and our Adam reaching for the 'handy Andies' !! Well done Charlotte, you'll make it, I know you will.

Only 'cause he thinks he's got a chance to "Remain" in the championship.

Glad that we've all progressed to the next round safely.... England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales............................... Oh hang on a sec

Lunjeelers were originally called "Lung Healers" but the trades description act put paid to that! I was a rep for Barnetts for a while and got that info from 'the horses mouth' as it were! I get a monthly news letter from "A quarter of" They informed me that "Sports mixture" have stopped being made, the company that bought out Lyons have put and end to them!

Just been reading the fixtures too. Me and the lad could get to 4 this year, Morecambe, Blackpool, Accrington and my 'local' (Glad they got relegated) Crewe. Don't suppose I've mentioned it on here, but he's our lucky mascot, he's never seen them loose. 10 matches 5 wins 5 draws. No mean feat in this day and age!

Erlier today I discovered I had missplaced my wallet. I had the kids helping in the search (I'd not left the house since I last used it, so knew it wouldn't be far) Taped to the side of my desk is a bag that I use for rubbish that I had just emptied in to the black bin outside as the bin men were due, mass panic and a dive in the dustbin ensued! No luck, but I found a €2 coin in the process! The wallet turned up safe and sound on my bedside table!

A Scotsman walked into a bar, normally there would have been an Englishman, Irishman and a Welshman, but they were all at the Euros!

No where near as exciting as we were in the first match IMHO, totally dominating yes, but potential Euro Champs, no way!! Well done to Wales*. I'm glad you knocked those scum out, hope they all just go home with their tails firmly between their legs, but you know it won't happen! *Even though I thought all three goals had the possibility of being offside!
