Hydrotherapy for dogs? It is effective for humans (have had several doses myself) but I can't quite see a dog wearing armbands or leg weights and following an exercise regime under water. But I can imagine people in the water with the dog, helping it to move e.g. a stiff limb..... Or maybe it was t...

Mid A Please may i refer you to the Thread Conspiracy Theory especiall JR comment on Page 2 He is saying that because we are young then we don't understand. I was trying to throw abit of wit into that, however, what sejintenej said about times being tough, then you would think, that they would unde...

The United Nations got caught by one many years ago. The Guardian (or was it the Manchester Guardian in 1976?) had a country supplement in its normal style extolling the virtues of thios country or that, together with adverts from all the major companies of the era, and, to celebrate the first F1 ra...

I see that JR has already replied but to put my oar in, Peter, at 22 years of age you attended a different school to many of us. So who are the "many of us"? we are the kids who didn't have shoes, who had to fight to survive, who were brought up in the back strets of some4 of the UK's mess...

Just been given a copy of the letter sent by SWMBO's Consultant to her GP starting This elderly lady ....... She is quite a lot younger than a number of ladies on this forum, helps run two businesses ............ Ouch! Oh, and the insultant is British Windian by the look of her; very pleasant and a...

Hands up who knew that Mike Naismith's mum invented Tippex, or Whiteout, or Correction Fluid or whatever it's called in your part of the World. And apparently David Baddiel's mother invented the Post-it note (or to be correct, the glue that doesn't stick properly!). AIUI it was a man who invented i...

Trust Google; sounds like a lump of cr#p to me. OTOH their Copernicus job sounds interesting (as they say, can you stand the Sopranos?) and as for their new superdooper file sorting facility Where does Google get its pigeons? Some special breeding lab? Google uses only low-cost, off-the-street pigeo...

Hi Mary Without wishing to be argumentative "controlled" is not the same as "cured". I don't think anyone pretends otherwise. When you have an irritating condition such as asthma then anything which relieves the symptoms is a blessing. In the case of allergies they stem from the...

One scenario put to us was: Student A had been noticeably agressive towards African Student B throughout the term, and was heard to refer to him as a 'Stupid, black, ba$tard'. What to do? We all jumped in with having to report the incident due to EEO legislation, the fact that the situation should ...

Why can`t legal things be written in plain English in the first place?? Or is it so you have to pay someone to "translate" them for you? There is currently (well, it's 10 years old) a campaign for plain English within the legal profession and one is seeing a definite improvement. (As an e...

I have never heard of anyone describing Plymouth as place with a 'multitude of opportunities...' Certainly it is. Depends on what you call a multitude but there must be a hundred places where you can get blind drunk and fifty places where you can pick up a ....... Why do you think the Navy keeps go...

Uh ok. I'm going to have to disagree. If I, for example, felt that my interests as a white middle class disabled female were not being met, I'd do something about, just as all these minority organisations have done. I don't know about New Zealand but over here I doubt if you would be allowed under ...

Careful, Julian.

Don't forget that there is an Association of Black Police Officers (or similar name) but no white equivalent. I suspect that any attempt to form a white equivalent in any sphere would be considered a parallel to the KKK

Although a matter of monumental unimportance, the date of "1956" on the bottom left picture is almost certainly incorrect. The choirmaster is certainly Cochrane (Corky) but he left very suddenly (ahem!) during my time and I left in December 1955. So, I suspect that it was Christmas 1954, ...
