  4. Bringing all the power of my three brain cells to bear (one dead, one dying and one looking decidedly peaky), I came up with................. nada, zilch, zip... do tell..
  5. Really nonna you must make your family so cross! Resting may not be a waste of time, it may be a way to increase it. Just you jolly well do as you're told and start to relax.......... My dad was the same, "I don't need to take me tablets I don't feel poorly"...
  6. Don't mention X Trails to me. It's one those that has just wiped the front end my car in an M1 service station.
  7. For me it's steak and chips night! Enjoy yer beans...
  8. Looking at that photo it's amazing anyone survived a trip in it. No front brakes and solid rubber tyres on cobbles...
  9. How do you differ between a cottage pie and a shepherds pie. The shepherds pie should only have lamb as the meat content. The clues in the name innit...

  11. Looks like an Aubrey Beardsley without the severed head...

  19. There's a guy I met once who makes quite a good living buying and selling them on Fleabay
  20. Looking good so far but wow still a long way to go. Why the wood blocks on the spring U bolts?
  21. Wow that's really tiny. Do you have to boil a kettle in the dark? A villa we rent occasionally has a 25Amp trip which a I thought was small but at least we can make tea and watch TV at the same time.
  22. Heh, just ask Margie... "A garden party you say... no no no... who are these people"...
  23. .. Without out an atom of proof I have to say nonna that's my perception too - time will tell. I didn't think Archie was a 'real' name, just a shortened version of Archibald. Ah well we live and learn and I genuinely wish them all well.
