Children are but chapters in your life. My younger daughter has just turned 30!! Where did those years go? Anyways, they're an investment. Need a lift to/from the pub? Ultimately, you'll need someone to help you move into a nursing home and push you around in your wheelchair ....

Stone him! Stone him! Stone him some more ....

Is RE still on the national curriculum?

Football is as much a game of opinions as it is, err, about football. If he has said something factually untrue about a living person the law of slander is there to protect and correct said person. I don't think WA needs to apologise for having an opinion, even if that opinion happens not to...

If I'd followed that advice 30 years ago .... I'd be dead!!! In my early 30s and not feeling particularly unwell, I was up peeing 3 times in the night and always thirsty. Wife finally convinced me to go see the doc. I arrived at the surgery at 6.30pm ish. After a few questions he asked if I...

When I wad diagnosed as type 1 diabetic 30 odd years ago I was soon introduced to a cocktail of drugs invluding Insulin simvastatin and ramipril. Distinctly remember my GPs words at the time when I asked how long to take the tablets for? For the rest of your life, and if the NHS could afford...

I first raced in 1979 and pure road racing like the IOM or NW200 were not for me. Before I started, in 1975 my racing hero was John Newbold, team-mate to an up & coming wizz kid called Barry Sheene. John died at Colraine in the 1982 NW200 after colliding with Mick Grant. I loved a thrash on...

Or, freshly baked bread, can have a similar effect. The smell of coffee is also an oft used honey trap to make your house irresistibly desirable to a potential buyer ....

I think someone posted earlier (or maybe another thread)? If you're not sure what to do, choose to do nothing. Caveat: Bad advice for a rabbit in the headlights situation, of course.

Hope you're starting to feel back to normal @Berty23 ... Re the "Below Par" comment - I do struggle with this. I play a bit of golf and I know that if a hole is, say, Par 4, and I'm down in 3 (for a birdie), that's below or under par, which is actually a good (if not rare, for me) thing. Yet...

I assume they were under Russian command?

Agree, it's a timing thing - both have their place during the day/evening For me, cuppa-T first thing to wake up to. Coffee mid-morning Tea mid afternoon Coffee after supper (early evening) All white, no sugar - caffeine seems to have little affect on me, so prefer with.
