What horrible things would you put in room 101? Here's my choice of horrors. 1) Creeps, crawlers, yes men, firm's men, forelock tuggers, cap doffers, scabs (especially Nottinghamshire miners). Hate them all with a vengeance. 2) 4x4s when they are not needed, especially those with daft names like 'Warrior', 'Animal' etc. Why are the drivers of these cars not embarrassed? They are as daft as I was when I was a kid and stuck a lollystick in the spokes of my bike's back wheel so that I could feel important when people looked round to see what the noise was. Oh and personalised number plates! T

Is that photo a reflection of her on a spoon?

4 quid a week working in the woods 1965. I had to take my wage packet home unopened.Best job I ever had. I loved it.I would have done it for nothing just to see the wildlife and be free from classrooms.'

Kin ell!! are you victorian? lol Not quite, but not far off. That job was 48 years ago to be precise. Still gives me nightmares. To think I volunteered as well. I needed the money.

Cleaning the inside of a giant container which had a build up iron filings 'growing' on its sides. The iron filings came from lathes placed above the container. All the iron shavings fell into the container and every year it needed descaling. Temperatures above 100 degrees were normal. It was so dark you could barely see a yard in front of your body. We had to strip to our underpants and hack away at the filings with crow bars. The deposits were about a foot thick and once we had hacked away and bagged the stuff, we had to climb out of the container on a ladder that was maybe a hundred rungs

Had to google that name. Jesus, he makes Fred West and Fritzel seem like boy scouts.

Herr Fritzel would be mightily impressed.

Any improvement?

These young girls are betrayed all along the way. When some of the criminals were given lengthy sentences, you would expect at least two thirds of the length of sentences to be served. However there was a documented case a week back where a ringleader who was sentenced to 22 years, is to be allowed out on licence after serving 5 years. Why? Too expensive to keep inside? Does justice for the victims not matter at all? Total betrayal.

Thanks for your thoughts folks.I think I will pass on a coursing pup.

A few oscars could be awarded there. Set up methinks.

Met a Belgian national on holiday in France many moons ago. He said Belgium was a much more egalitarian country than blighty. He travelled to and fro from Belgium to the UK and said he was always struck by the servitude of british workers. He said they always looked unnecessarily busy when he appeared on the scene (he was a manager of some sort) and was amazed that the managers and workers did not integrate at meal times and even had separate toilets. Does that ring true in your experience?

How far north do grassnakes get?

Aye, don't plan too far ahead. Buy ripe not green bananas.

Bet you were well confused when that came out the water Did you manage to unhook it without getting chomped? Nasty wee feckers they are. Aye didn't get chomped. It was like reeling in a big soup plate. It must have reached maximum size. Bad news that they are breeding. The conventional wisdom was that it was too cold in blighty, but nature has a way of upsetting theories.

Might get myself one last pup before I pop my clogs. I've been reading on here that modern coursing dogs can do just about anything in the lurcher world. I've never had an out- and- out coursing dog because I've always required a versatile dog. I'd always thought coursing dogs were one trick ponies, but, as I say a lot of knowledgeable guys on here reckon they are the ultimate lurcher. I am a bit cautious too about the saluki temperament, I like a dog to be able to take a telling when it does wrong (preferably before) and I just apply gun dog methods to train a pup. I couldn't cope with a pu

There's terrapins in loads of ponds and lakes across the UK and they can utterly destroy fish stocks and even take young waterfowl. Been around since the 80s when loads of kids got pet terrapins with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles craze then dumped them when they got too big, it's not supposed to be warm enough for them to successfully reproduce but there's been a few in a pond in the park near my sister for at least 15 years and last year young were spotted for the first time. Caught one unintentionaly, fishing for salmon!

I have no real interest or liking for the royal family. (Sorry Scothunter). However I recently read an article in which the late Diana speculated that her protection officer (with whom she was alleged to be having an affair) was, in her words: 'bumped off'. I also read that Charles and Diana met only 13 times before they were married and that he chose her because she had the 'breeding' and was still a virgin.( It wouldn't do for the future king to marry somebody who had had former lover(s).) Given the fairly common theory that Diana herself was bumped off by mysterious forces, I wonder if th

I had never thought of Hess in that way. You are right. Two political figures I am grateful to are Henry Hunt who fought successfully for the right for ordinary (landless/untitled) people to vote. And Nye Bevan who 'invented' the NHS and the state pension. I also hugely admire Charles Darwin for having the balls to publish his theory of evolution. He knew he would suffer ridicule and furious hostility from many different sectors of society (not least the churches) but he published in the name of Truth. In doing so he released us from the tyranny of religion. (Well some of us anyway.)
