  1. If you have health worries, help could soon be found in some u likely places........ If the Royal Society for Public Health has its way, an army of cleaners,barbers, postal workers, bar staff and bookies clerks could help to fill the £220 million gap in public health provision, left by recent cuts, and be trained to advise on a variety of physical and mental health conditions. The focus would be on issues around excessive drinking, lack of exercise and poor diet - issues found in abundance in pubs and bookies shops ! Restaurant workers could be trained to advise on healthier diets or y
  2. Brugges then on to Maastricht ? Was this in your official capacity, as our Ambassador for European Integration ?
  3. Random question of the day....... Why do we say "Hitler moustache", and not "Chaplin moustache" ? Charlie Chaplin was famous before Hitler.......
  4. That's not priced in proper money, though, is it ? Ok.....a couple of weeks ago it cost me about £20 to drive from brussels to North Essex, is that proper enough? :-) That's better! But what was the total including ferry fare ? Fcuk knows! That's the wife's department ;-).................& it was the shuttle..... You've got a "business manager" too, then ?

  7. You know perfectly well that I was the owner of a Kia Soul (wretched machine !) I brought the subject up purely as I was surprised in the fall of diesel prices.........but since you mention it......... Skoda Yeti 2 litre diesel (4 wheel drive) - perfect for, say, a weekend's trip to the wilder parts of West Wales.......or pulling a caravan.........or both !
  8. Nipped out to fill up the new car this morning and noticed, with some pleasure, that diesel is actually cheaper than unleaded here ! Can't remember that before.........
  9. I knew a Scot who found the cure for seasickness. He leaned over the side with a 50p coin between his teeth !
  10. For testing new drugs and treatments, I'd probably come down in favour. For cosmetics, hair dyes and the like, no!
  11. i would arm all the full time police. So would I - the only people in this country who have a handgun are those you really don't want to have one ! I would offer training and side arms to any officer who chooses to carry one.
  12. I've been seeing these grow in popularity, and coming down in price. You can get them for 'not much money' now, but are they worth having ? How easy are they to use ? Any features worth looking out for ? I'm thinking of getting one but, being a bit of a Luddite (look it up), I'm a bit wary of gadgets. I don't even have a SatNav, but I can see that these little things could be useful........ Any users ?
  13. Ive e-mailed my MP (Mark Lancaster), saying that it is completely unacceptabe to accept a pay rise that is 10 times more than the 'rise' given to public sectors workers by his leader, and I trust he will not be accepting it ! Suggest everyone else does the same........( if you're really that bothered, I mean !)
  14. The situation over there is well-known. If a cop sees you with a gun you get one chance, and one chance only, to drop it. If you don't comply, you're going down !
  15. Pay frozen for another year ? Tax credits cut ? Fear of redundancy ? Household finances in freefall ? Don't worry, our elected representatives are in line for a 10% pay rise, taking their salary to £74,00 a year (almost 3 times the national average), and that doesn't include expenses. Times are hard for everyone, then....... MPs given go ahead for 10% pay rise to £74,000 - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-33552499
  16. I watched it........and wished I hadn't ! I'm not at all squeamish, but when they stoned that poor girl, I had to look away. F***ing barbarians !
  17. We took our lurcher pup at 7 weeks. The dam wasn't doing anything for them, and clearly didn't want to 'mother' them any more, so we agreed with the breeder that it was best to get him into his new environment sooner rather than later......
  18. Shame he didn't fall down the stairs, not up ! And break his neck ......and land on his wife !
  19. Told you Malt would know.........
  20. Is it not the case that, strictly speaking, ALL wildlife is protected ? Wildlife and Countryside Act or some such ? Malt or Paulus will know........I mean, you're only a moderator, how can you be expected to keep abreast of obscure laws like this ?
  21. Shame he didn't fall down the stairs, not up !
  22. Dear Vin, I hope you can help me, as I'm at my wits end....... My wife is a failed soap star and no longer satisfies my 'bedroom needs'. My music career has come to an end and, if I'm honest, I miss the public adulation. A close friend died a few years ago, and I miss him so much - I've even wondered if I should have died instead. I had a few television appearances recently, but they were not well received and I think I might even have made myself look a bit of a tw4t ! I think I'd probably be happier if I could find a proper hobby - I just fritter my time away on stargazing, amateur electro
  23. If crime levels don't have a race element, why does the Met have specialist units, dedicated solely to crimes committed by blacks ?
  24. Cracking little rifle, and great fun to shoot, which is a large bonus. And a whole world of mod's to be had........
