Anyone know where I can buy some dry ice in Brighton? Mr Google can't help and the only online suppliers want you to buy in bulk. I just need a small amount for a Harry Potter-themed birthday party.

The Soviet Union used to make the victims of its show trials publicly confess their sins. Has Brown's Politburo now implemented the same soft of regime? Looks like railway passengers are first victims of the purge? http://yfrog.com/1siyuqj Who are going to apologise next? Real ale drinkers for...

Our hose has come detached from the outflow pipe (it was attached just under the sink). I've tried all sorts of ways of fixing the hose back on the pipe: brute force, screwing clockwise and a/c, fixing it with plumber's grease but it just won't go over the fitting. It's the right fitting as it's...
