No, the adjective has an "i" in it, but will he take the baited hook?

I don't think it does? Surely "bated breath" is correct?

No mention of the person you seek, but there is a reference to the fatal car-crash ! http://www.fairportconvention.com/the_liege_and_lief_story.php Thanks for the link. There is more elsewhere on the site. Here is Simon Nicol's eye witness account of the crash, showing just how devastating an accid...

Perhaps they can't find the photo.

Aplologies if I upset people here, but I strongly believe that mp3 players should be legally banned for drivers and cyclists and any other road users; how can anyone using one concentrate and be properly aware of the traffic? Well you haven't upset me, but I'd hate to live in the sort of country wh...

The iPod Shuffle has a 2GB capacity. If you need more, then the Nano comes in 8 and 16 GB versions. All can handle music, as well as podcasts and audiobooks. Indeed - my iPod shuffle currently has 151 songs and 17.9 hours of music - enough for even the slowest circuit of the Mile! Good point about ...

Not wishing to rain on your parade, but since when was Stockwell in SE9?

Forgive a first-time poster's infelicities, but I may be able to fill in a few missing names from the photos. As far as I can recall, Col A 1975 shows: Mark Wyatt, Peter Boys, Nigel Harrison, ?, Jeremy Olver, Andrew Ashe, Iain (?) Weatherill Tony Clifford, Chris Laughton, (Is it) Chris Grady? , Mik...

Tall man, I seem to remember him walking with a bit of a stoop as he was so tall and spent a lot of time bending to speak. JM Carrington - he was a housemaster I think. Thornton A, perhaps?

Bob, you must have been in Maine A two years below my dad, Howard Holdsworth... I remember going to tea with Howard Holdsworth and his family at their home before I started at CH - the visit was arranged by my primary school head to give me the chance to ask Howard what CH was like. I remember him ...
