Please can anyone give me an idea on how to remove a key like this:

From the ignition for a key made like this:

It is stuck, but only about 3/4 of an inch has gone in. It wiggles around a lot, but I cannot pull it out! And before you ask, yes, it was my wife that managed this.

Thanks in advance!

M25 Jcts 10&11

goldstone — Tue, 21 May 2013 16:03:10 GMT

I drive the M25 clockwise most weekday mornings from the M23 to the M3. It is always backed up to the pinch-points at Jct 10 (A3) and Jct 11 (Chertsey) where it narrows to 3 lanes from 4.

My question. There is a hard shoulder through the junctions ... why not make this into a 4th lane so that there are four lanes all the way north?

It appears to me (and I'm no traffic management expert) that the reduction from 4 lanes to 3 at these junctions is the main reason for the awful traffic queues.

So I have the solution!! Common sense really.

Froch v Kessler II

Steveapps71 — Tue, 21 May 2013 15:56:28 GMT

Really looking forward to this fight, should be a war like last time.
My bet would be Froch on points or a late stoppage, anyone know what time it will be on?
My guess is Midnight for US networks...also I will be out out in Brighton/Hove, anyone know what bars are showing it??
(Obviously not interested in going to skanky West Street to watch :)) :rave:
But if anyone knows bars showing it would be appreciated :clap2:

TBH New York doesn't need another team, should have given the spot to a team in Florida.......

Also can't see Red Bull being too happy about it

Woof!

Stoke to do a 'Charlton'?

Sidcup Seagull — Tue, 21 May 2013 14:42:41 GMT

Big similarities here.

In 2006 Charlton finished 13th in the Premiership, which apparently wasn't good enough for them. Curbishley went. Look where they were 2 years ago.

In 2013 Stoke finish 13th in the Premiership, which apparently wasn't good enough for them either. Pulis goes.

Need I say more?

Bookies put Poyet in Stoke frame

Bookies put Poyet in Stoke frame
Albion boss Gus Poyet is among the bookies� fancies to be the next manager of Stoke City.
Reports are emerging this after that Tony Pulis has parted company with the Potters although they have not yet been confirmed by the club.
Roberto di Matteo has been made favourite to take over should Pulis go with a best price of 4/1.
Mark Hughes is second favourite with most bookies but both Coral and William Hill have Poyet second in the betting.
Poyet is as short as 5/1 with Coral but punters can get up to 10/1 elsewhere.
The Uruguayan is currently suspended by the Seagulls and is expected to leave the club during the close season.

Bring back Robertson's Gollies

goldstone — Tue, 21 May 2013 13:42:58 GMT

Thought it would be good to post something non-controversial to take our minds off all things Albion.

I bought some Robertson's marmalade yesterday and noticed that they are promoting Paddington Bear.

What was wrong with the Golliwog?

I still have a Gollie badge. Will it possibly become a collectors item, or would I be arrested for trying to sell it on Ebay?
