  1. What a load of tosh. If it hurts, STOP DOING IT! At our time of life we are never going to jump over tall buildings or run marathons. Your body will tell you when enough is enough.. It's OK for physios to warble on but they are all much younger and have no idea how painful arthritis can be. Some discomfort, fine, but actual pain no.
  2. The Albion looks OK but they were horrible to drive. The wrecker looks like a Diamond T usually ex military. The only reason I can think of for cooling concrete is to slow the cure time.
  3. I think you mean Sherbet Kali Maz. Although it is a propriety brand name we called all sherbet 'Kali' much like ballpoint pens were called Biros.
  4. Err would you like to adopt me.. I'm house trained, fairly clean, small but beautifully marked. Take almost no room at all 'onest..
  5. I think nanny says you have to have less sugar...
  6. Looking around on the internet it seems almost anywhere is cheaper for implants than here. My quote is for £18000. Emailed my xray and Hungary - £6800. Spain - £8000 approx. Poland - £7000 approx. A huge saving but I'm told (by my dentist) they use an 'immediate' procedure. This means it's all done and dusted in one go, two at most. Fine if it works but has a high failure rate and if it fails then trying again is virtually impossible.... decisions decisions...
  7. I've not chastised anyone. I simply responded to posts that held up appalling behaviour as something clever and we should admire and applaud. I'm entitled to my opinion just as you are and in my world you are taken to task if you overstep the mark. Is pointing that out chastising someone? As for it being tongue in cheek even Ian himself has never claimed it to be so and I failed O level mind reading so I call it as I see it. To paraphrase a maxim ' bad behaviour will flourish if it goes unchallenged' I think your loyalty to your mate is commendable. misplaced, but commendable.
  8. Looked at the box with a glass, it looks to be an early phone box
  9. You surprise me PF. It is at best underhanded and deceitful and quite possibly criminal. People paid for a service only to have him sabotage the guttering in order to ensure a return visit to correct a problem he himself caused. If you had read of a cowboy builder doing this to an OAP and not your mate, how would you feel then I wonder?
  10. As a kid I remember Lucozade came in a big bottle wrapped in yellow cellophane and was expensive. I think it was seen more as a tonic than a drink of pop and only ever given to those who, as Katy says, were at deaths door. The taste is unique but I quite like it.
  11. The problem is the fitted wardrobe is not allowing enough air to circulate. Insulated board may solve it but there is no guarantee, treat it with a good quality anti-mould paint
  12. You do know you're going to regret it don't you? It's a fundamental law of the universe that stuff thrown will within a matter of weeks be the very thing you need.
  13. He doesn't help himself does he? I take the meaning of Ian's post above to be 'I deliberately set grass seed in peoples gutters so I can screw some more money out of them in the Autumn'
  14. Being totally ruthless really pays dividends Lizzie. I attacked my garage some time ago and got rid of.. ooo nearly a full half carrier bag of stuff and now I can almost get all the way to the consumer unit...
  15. I'm not worried about knife crime, I'm assured the government is going appoint a supremo who will soon have it all sorted once they agree how big the salary will be and whether they get an OBE or a knighthood
  16. So do humans but they won't let us shoot 'em.. We carry disease, spread germs, kill and roast young birds, take and boil their eggs and yes even attacking babies and toddlers has been in the news recently.
  17. I always thought they were quite good looking, very stylish.
  18. That we are surrounded by cruelty is sadly very true but are any those cruelties necessary? I think not. Young J Sparrow of this parish raises some good points in support of balance, we are wrecking the place with ever increasing speed. but I think your last point may be a bit of a stretch. There are responsible clubs I've no doubt but suspect most clubs do not actually have their own water to be guardians of. Is it cruel to keep cats and dogs? I can't see that it is, depending on your definition of cruel. Useless yes, pointless yes but cruel? I think not. Cats have remained t
  19. I don't want to get into a quarrel but enjoy arguing different points of view PP. We eat meat because it's in our nature, those of us who have any teeth left that is. We are top of the food chain and hunter gatherers have for millennia killed for food. But for fun? for enjoyment? I have as a youngster fished on the Trent, outside the power station was famous for Gudgeon and I spent many hours on the Clifton side of Beeston weir and caught mainly colds. I did catch a fish, can't remember what it was, and the hook went in it's mouth and the barb came out from just under it's eye -
  20. I dunno what I want to be when I grow up so I'll just muddle along for the time being...
  21. And all to kill, maim and generally torture a creature the does no harm or has any value to the angler...
  22. You obviously never worked in the docks or the car industry in the days of Red Robbo and his ilk.
  23. Do we know Rizzoli damaged it, how did they, was it deliberate?
  24. Col, you're probably brushing the wrong end!
