Bouncing this old thread. My (elderly) Dad is in Saltdean. He has an oldish but low mileage Renault Megane that, after making a few peculiar noises, now won't start and has no electricals. ** probably a battery, or fuse - but that is unfortunately beyond him now .... The car is stuck in his...

According to the BBC report by Michael Emons Hinshelwood headed his goal and some youngster called Henry Howell came on!! How do these professional journos get away with it?

I think it could be more a case of Cash-Out Or even "Cashin Out!!"

It will get shortened to "the dock" and many a scouser will be heard talking to their chums and ending the conversation with "yeah, I'll see you in the dock". No real change there then ....

I was fearful that, along with a lot of people, covid had also killed off the traditional cricket tea. Delighted to see it's resurgence. I stopped playing in 2016 and now only coach and occasionally score for county squads. 3 out of 3 for teas so far (that's not a rating). It's part of the...

Get him to talk to his GP. May get a prescription to help with this?

This is excellent info. You must first know what aircraft type you are travelling on. Even then, some carriers occasionally have differing seat layouts depending on their attitude on comfort vs profit.

Dates on food come in 3 forms: Use by Best before Display until If your pud was a best before date, this is just the manufacturer saying their product is still safe to eat, but might not be as they would like you to enjoy. Crisps are a good example of this. They don't go off in terms of not...

I had this done on the NHS a couple of months back. I had elevated eye pressures (Gloucoma) and the drops weren't working. They offered me cataracts saying I didn't need them doing (yet) but it uses the same incision point to put iStents in which I needed to sort my pressures. I was a high...

I had 3 implants done 10 years ago, cricket ball to the chops ... I found a place in the UK very reasonable, turns out it wad a Hungarian chap coming over here, 3 days in one branch (Wolves) and 2 days in the other (Luton), £1.5k per tooth but I got £3k insurance from the cricket club towards...

Good point, does he even have a song? Probably so in and out the team no one can remember the words from month to month.

When I was young we used to waste our idle time kicking a football around in the park. Rush goalies if there were only a few of us. Now, the younger generation feel the need to be all over social media to be hip, cool, whatever, to waste their idle time away. Thank the lord I'm no longer...

No, it doesn't work like that. Each country had its own licensing authority, not disimilar to driving licenses. I did 5 years at CAA Gatwick which ended with 9/11. Okay, this was 25 years ago and things may have changed (alot). Back then I was working on a Joint (European) Aviation Authority...

He claimed "cognitive impairment". A cop-out of the highest order.

I answered all three but should add that taking Semaglutide diminishes my appetite so I find sharing a starter and a sweet with Mrs SS provides for an enjoyable and satisfying portion size. My weakness is calamari ... I could eat that for all 3 courses!
