Re: Amazon

I watch a lot of stuff on Prime and don't really mind the adds. It's a chance to get a drink, look at my phone etc. And given the amount of stuff I order, it's a no brainer for us.

I am finding the Amazon "Manufacturer Package" adds on the radio to be a very strange choice. Pushing the fact they ...

Re: I feel a NIP in the air...


I know so many people who have taken them and despite being utterly skeptics, it has made them think about their driving.


The first one I did had this impact - specifically driving in 30 zones...

Re: Trump

I have a collection of papers from the days after the attacks and it's been interesting reminding myself of the initial response.

History tends to get written and re-written and like Jobbo's article (Brilliant by the way), we know 9/11 by our accumulated knowledge now. But in the immediate ...

Re: Randomness

Would insurance ever pay out for this sort of thing ??

Re: Stupid Councils and Police

My guess is they'll ask to be paid to move - along the lines of £10k per adult.

At which point 200 Adults will arrive from all over the country and want' paying. The developer will pay and they'll up sticks and move... to the other end of the housing estate and then want £15k to move...
