Stew, that's great - I totally agree. A lot of cars look a bit like miniature tanks nowadays, it's even worse if the drivers sit so high you can hardly see them (and must suspect they can't see you, either) - and blacked-out windows should be a thing of the past, with all those anti-terror measures ...

Is it just me or is it a general go-slow again? Can't seem to get into some topics at all... Well, I do tend to give up after 10 minutes of waiting or so.

I suspected that. Don't know how long you've been away, but I don't remember it from my time in London, either; that was about 25 years ago. Makes it sound so healthy, doesn't it - do you want a can of juice?

Wow, miracles never cease to happen...

Looking forward to it - it's not been the same without you!

Hi Charlie Welcome to the site and thanks for reminding me that I need to get some GARLIC..... Very important! :mrgreen: Unfortunately weatherforecast is absolutely miserable for the weekend. Brilliant sunshine for Monday, though. Tough on those of us who have a "normal" job for a living. ...

What - there are actually people who pay for that experience?

Not me, mate... I can get my thrills cheaper. Mind you, I've never been in a sidecar, so I shouldn't talk. Maybe I'd love it.

And warm beer in ice cold glasses?

1970s - I saw that misprint, too. And since there are quite a few people on the road with alcohol problems in Scotland - well, not just on the road - they might well think it's time to reduce their intake... Might have a beneficial impact on Scottish health!

Just as well. We wouldn't want you on this forum if you were.

Thanks Nev, how did you know it was you I meant when I was asking for the chemist... :lol: ? I suppose that's the same gas that makes tomatoes go red when you put banana skins in amongst them? Reminds me, my brother once said he always got a headache when he was doing a lot of apple juicing, and he ...

Hi Jen Welcome to the site - no need to be shy, we all started off like you... It's a bit late in the year for planting anything except fruit bushes, trees etc. So black plastic is not a bad idea, but I would leave the composting until the spring. Despite the plastic, some nutrients would leach out ...

No, this is not about little green men... :mrgreen: I'm just looking through a review of alien species in Scotland (work related... plants and animals!), and I've come across a most astonishing fact. Aussies and Kiwis look here! Did you know we didn't have to visit you any more to see a wallaby? (Oh...

It says so on their wrappers, in small print, of course - made in Italy. Well, maybe it's just some of their production; I'll keep my eyes open.

I am afraid I do not speak portugese, I tried to translate what you said in google and it came up with "Ola as this? this well! So great which and of its tomatoes? it ties soon! " - which does not really make much sense. On occasions when I feel I really need some cheering up I do some go...

quad bikes & two wheeled motorbikes are far more dangerous than sidecars ina......3 wheels work well! Mmhh, the first time I was on a 3 wheeler (trike on an Aussie farm), I kept going round in circles - I hand't quite grasped the concept of steering a vehicle with three wheels, being used to tw...

I think you can tell by the subtlty of the wording: If it says 'Bacon Flavoured', then it has to be flavoured with bacon - the real stuff. If it says 'Bacon Flavour' then it just has to be a flavour that vaguely reminds you of something that might once have been a bit like bacon. That's similar to ...
