We get all the political broadcasts :( :( The one which really hit me was the one which used as part of its campaign message the French translation of the infamous concentration camp motto "Arbeit macht frei" (spelling might be wrong). That is from one of the three front-runners! By compar...

I remember two boys - Di*****on in Col B was a maths genius who simply was so far ahead that he was out of normal life; he virtually could not survive in "normal" society. It's all a question of fitting in with the society in which you are dumped - or suffering. The guy from Coleridge B c...

Methinks I posted too soon. I was hardly in the land of nod when it seemed to me that I had the Styx boatman and the Grim Reaper competing to smash the roof and every available window. Was it a racket or simply a big noise at 1.30 am.? Turned out to be hail which punctured tiles, got under the roof ...

Says a lot for Kate that she stayed around so long. What sensible girl is going to get involved with the royals after she realises that she will have the world's press poking cameras up her loo, bed room, coffee cup (to see if she has a different coloured tooth), checking out her undies - M & S ...

I think Andy has hit the "nail on the head". From the outside CH was seen as the school par excellence. From the inside he and everyone else was competing with his equals who were almost by definition, a way above the hoi polloi. However, being insulated (as all of us were) he couldn't see...

Local rag had a page about why Friday 13th is a good day. Seems to boil down to all the things which have happened in the past which can never happen again like: 13 at supper before Good Friday Noah's flood started on a Friday The devil persuaded Eve to get Adam to eat the apple on a Friday (I can't...

The moral - just keep complaining. You're right. Persistence usually pays off. Most people will take what is said to them by a minion on the end of a 'phone and fume in private for few years or just not bother because it's too much hassle. Unfortunately it means that the bigger companies win once a...

This has made me check. I am Band C (£1,214.56 p.a.). I get a discount for single occupancy - they don't count my menagerie. It's a semi-detached 1960's 3-bed house, end of row, three gardens (front, back, side). But since 1991 I have added a conservatory and have 'poshed up' the bathroom. I suppo...
