  1. It will make no difference banjo. This prroblem is deeply rooted and pandemic.
  2. We have no real understanding of how I data gets spread around. Within 10 minutes of my first sign-up with Paypal, I had emails asking me to log-on to the provided link and confirm my details, which I did ( This was 10 years ago, before I knew better).. anyway I sort of clicked and realised that it might be a fake link. It was and I had to cancel all my card details and the Paypal account. Whenever I sign up to ANY site, there is ALWAYS a fake email, within minutes, asking me to click on link and re-enter my details. The most recent was just a week ago. I had a fake e-mail from EDF, with

    Scum !

    Cannot be so Catfan and NBL. The figures would have to be higher. Mathematically 'impossible' to be as you suggest. We are talking 'assylum' seeking here, not entering illegally or coming in legally from other european countries.
  8. I remember calling in a chip shop on Berridge Road, Forest Fields, with only a penny. The man said he should not do it, but gave me a portion. It was about 1954-5. Great days.
  9. Dennis dustbin lorries. Steam engines, at Goose Fair. The Boys Brigade band marching through the streets Young Policemen over 5 ' 5" (despite the average height having increased). Women scrubbing the doorstep Young ladies knocking on my door, hoping to get a date!
  10. My Ex used to work at the INTERCON, under the Vic Centre. 1972? The entrance, with steps leading down, was roughly where Vision Express used to be. Opposite Shakespeare Street. (It was called something else to start with, which escapes me for the moment)

    Scum !

    I read in the paper today, that we are 'eighth' in the list of countries swamped by assylum seekers, with 31200 in the last year (up 32% on previous year). Germany was top with 175,000 and Italy, Spain and even Turkey ALL had more than twice as many as UK. So maybe we are not so much a laughing stock as we think?
  12. I was going to give my opinion, but then I realised that nobody gives damn !

    Scum !

    We ARE the laughing stock of all those who find their way here !
  14. Best wishes and to you both at this difficult time and a speedy recovery for your wife.
  15. Oh Blondie: Be careful what you wish for. The love of money is the root of all evil. I know many very rich people and not one of them is happy. Some of them are also terminally ill, but money cannot buy a cure. You are probably a much nicer person now, than you would be if you were rich
  16. Hope you don't mind slight correction Ian : Gentian Violet.

  18. They did it before I got up, today. So if they can't wait for me ... stuff 'em
  19. I thought Beeston Smog Works closed down in the 1960's
  20. It's clear as a bell here in Nottingham, but no sunshine and I am cold to the bone. Where would smog come from these days?
  21. Well, at least you were right. It will never look the same again.
  22. Bob a Job week ! However, I do recall being taken advantage of. A lady in a huge house, near where I now live, had me weeding her pathways nearly all day.. and I was a grafter. She still only paid me a shilling. On the other hand, I was known to don my cubs outfit and go Bob-a-Jobbing for my own profit. Well.. what's wrong with a bit of good old initiative?
  23. There is absolutely NOTHING more natural than breast feeding. We lived for thousands of years before anything else, unnatural, was thought of. I recall it being a very normal sight when I was a kid. As for too much flesh showing: I have never seen a woman making a fleshy show, They are always discreet. It can be very distressing for a woman who wants to breastfeed, but cannot. What kind of numpty objects to a baby being fed the way nature intended?
