Garage Joe I'm used to listening to Edwina Chicken Curry on R5. She is an individual and interesting! I like Will Self (and his partner) very much. The rest of 'em were rather poor IMO. [ more ]
MrMincePie Reference: yes, Will Self, spot on as usual throughout - especially on the gov's plan B Katie Hopkins, agree with her on Sky/Keys/Gray but otherwise, carving a name for herself as a pantomime right winger. Edwina Curry - clueless and lightweight as usual. Her comments on "Bend it like Beckham" were laughable. Chris Huhne - toeing the line dictated by his new Tory masters - looked very uncomfortable when Will Self demolished the coalition's agenda, even resorted to the pathetic "wrong kind of... [ more ]

That's one of my bug bears....i always understood that you indicated to show other drivers your intentions to make a manouvre (sp)...not during or afterwards..... [ more ]

Scotty Reference: Suzi Q I still think that we are all responsible for our own actions though. It's become too easy to blame drink, drugs or things that happened to us in our childhood for for abhorent acts. I totally agree. [ more ]
charlisock Suzi made the point for me: you learn (and believe) all sorts of stuff when you're younger, but when you're older and have your own conscience and can think for yourself, you can't blame someone or something else for your actions. [ more ]
Suzi-Q It's a scary thought, thinking that if your parent has commited a murder, you will too. I'm hoping that it's a learned behaviour (in your example) rather than down to genetics. I still think that we are all responsible for our own actions though. It's become too easy to blame drink, drugs or things that happened to us in our childhood for for abhorent acts. [ more ]

Smokeless Cigarettes

Former Member I used them last time I gave up.....definitely take the edge off imo, so, worth a try?......I'm okay on a long journey until the moment I think it's a good idea to have a drink, then I really, really want a ciggie..... I always take a nicotine patch in case of emergencies! [ more ]
PeterCat Reference: Really? Does the gun keep you THAT addicted? The point about the gum isn't that it removes your addiction - only you can do that over time. The gum is just a lot less harmful than smoking, and is also easier to give up / cut down on. However, you still have to have the will to escape your addiction in the first place. And yes, I do speak from experience. I tried to give up smoking several times over 20 years, but I was only successful when I took the decision to really give up,... [ more ]
Blizz'ard Reference: Leccy My Mam's never bothered about smoking on the plane, its always at airports were it gets to her, when she's waiting for connecting flights. Leccy! I'm the same. I'm fine when I know I can't have one on the flight, but when you're waiting for your luggage and then helpfully keep reminding you that you can't smoke in the airport, I go a bit mad. Mr Blizz usually suggests I go outside and he waits for the luggage! [ more ]

Ways to prevent a scarf shedding over clothes
S sheryl18
SazBomb Reference: If it's a synthetic (man-made fiber), such as acrylic, polyester, nylon, etc: take it back to the store, synthetic fibers aren't supposed to shed, so it's a manufacturing defect with the yarn. I checked mine this morning and they're both acrylic and both shed [ more ]

Temps I can't believe EE won. Just goes to show all those people complaining about the recent storyline were just jumping on the bandwagon and talking out of their ar$es David Platt's face was brilliant [ more ]
machel i don't like ee, its storylines are too "fast" - compare phils addiction to the girl in emmerdale, the one in emmerdale was more believable and convincing, ee don't seem to act, just shout or cry. i was disappointed with some of the winners but glad to see waterloo road win and loose women lose!

Suzi-Q I only watch Eastenders, so I'm pleased with the results. Week after week, Eastenders has the highest rating of all the soaps, so it makes sense that more people would be voting for the soap they actually watch, doesn't it? [ more ]

Former Member Its such a pile of poo this year that I will NOT be watching. Social network gets 8 nominations! Do me a favour, it was 'OK' but it wasnt brilliant IMO. It was a bit of a long winded court battle about angst ridden yooves squabbling over who invented facebook. And the Kings Speech gets 13 noms! No film deserves that many! (Though I do like Colin Firth.) And some great (and hugely successful) films have been ignored... and some great actors too, (who are snubbed year after year.) I'm talking... [ more ]

Yogi19 Reference: I think the written word is far worse for misunderstandings and causing offence. When you're talking with someone you can hear the tone of their voice and see their face so can get a better idea of whether they are deliberately causing offence or not I agree Veggie. I have a tendency to over-use smilies, to compensate for the lack of facial expressions and body language. [ more ]

Eugene's Lair Re the joke in the OP: When I saw the film, the last line got a lot of laughs, but I couldn't help wondering how many of the audience got the hidden reference there... (For those who don't know: George VI had lung cancer in his later years, and it was a major contributory factor in his death.) As for the film itself: yes, I thought it was very good and would recommend it to anyone. Although Firth's getting all the praise, the whole cast are great: I thought Michael Gambon as George V and Guy... [ more ]

Prometheus Reference: He needs/has a name - We could start a thread, following ' the findings of Budgeon Bob' ! We don't know his real name we just call him Mr Interesting. He always has something interesting to impart. If you ask for 20 cigs and there are no 20 packs left he will say you can have two 10s but never will he fail to point out that it's normally cheaper just to buy the one 20 pack. He wants you to know these things. If they have a special offer he will explain it to you in great detail. [ more ]

Prometheus Reference: "thrifty till fifty then spend 'till the end !" I'd go with that as it happens. Can't take the stuff with you etc. [ more ]
Garage Joe Probably a cash issue. We have thought for a while that they felt that they had to accumulate cash to leave to us and the next two layers below us. Our philosophy is the famous, "thrifty till fifty then spend 'till the end !" [ more ]
Prometheus Reference: He was a bit more rational later tonight. A major issue is the fact that they have separate accounts. I will never understand that idea. Sorry if it seems I'm prying tell me if I am I'll shut up but do your parents see the whole power of attorney thing as a money issue more than what might later become a moral issue? [ more ]

Prometheus I voted just to prove how much television I don't watch. I skipped all but 3 lol. I voted for X Factor, Big Brother and Davina McCall.

Former Member Thanks for alerting us to this Brisket I have to agree that some of the categories had poor choices, but I still managed to vote for them all... Just about!. About 2 or 3 of them may not have been my first choice per se, but I still like them and they were the best out of the ones listed IMO. My choices: Reality TV : Britains Got Talent. X factor is OK-ish but BGT still has the edge IMO Best comedy : Mike Mcintyre Comedy roadshow. I like TV Burp but feel its not as funny as it was, I don't... [ more ]
