Re: It’s time for another forum cycle/vehicle disagreement

Re: Today’s want

Still don't understand why manufacturers continue with "Gear Stick" in automatics. Merc's stalk is way better and leaves a much cleaner centre console That's one of the things I could not get used to in the EQA we had recently. I'd be fine if it was a separate stalk on the RHS, but making...

Re: The Wine Thread

On that note, does anyone have a recommendation for wines to drink with Cocoa Pops? I think milk is more traditional with cocoa pops! Back in student days, one occasion after a big night, and probably still drunk, I decided to have beer on my cornflakes. Not nice. I do not recommend it. I wish I co...

Re: The Wine Thread

My other half has Migraine and just about every type of Alcohol, up to and including alcohol in deodorant sprays, gives her an attack. But she can happily drink Hole and the Clouds without issue - well a glass or two.

Split Rock is another very nice Marlborough Sauvignon

Re: The Wine Thread

I joined the Sunday Times Wine club few years back and it's been pretty faultless. There were a few I didn't like in the early days but they refunded the cost of the second bottle (each case is 2x6 bottles). I now only get what I like as part of my subscription and order a few extra cases over the y...

Re: Rolf Harris

Is that a risk worth taking for a painting ?

There are other paintings - Richard Mcneil does some lively pictures of London - £200 in John Lewis... :)

Re: The Weather Thread.

Very clear here tonight but more red/pink than green. I took some pics with my SLR but didn’t really have time to do it justice. Was racing a failing battery. Tried F2.8, ISO 100, manually focused on infinity with 30 second exposure. Came out OK but more in the Red spectrum. Reading up, I should hav...
