Dame_Ann_Average Don't even get me started...1) what they did to women born in the fifties was illegal. 2 ) they have put the years up in stamps to 35, so anyone taking a break to have children are up sh*ts creek without a paddle and they have stopped being able to claim on your husbands NI payments to cover those years. 3) they have no conscience, I advise everyone to watch I, Daniel Blake...it's factual, researched to high heaven and based on true stories and this happens everyday to many thousands of...

Enthusiastic Contrafibularities I love a good firework display. I was at a family do last night. But like Xmas fireworks should be confined to a small window in the year. When I have to rise for work at 5:15 Monday morning, I certainly don't want to have been kept awake until 12:00 by people just letting them off for sh*ts and giggles. [ more ]

pirate1111 when i was about 10/11 i decided to go carol singing...now bear in mind i didnt know many..i plucked up the courage to knock on a door & started with silent night-this old neighbour opened the door but i froze-i just stood there with my mouth open like a cross between a xmas card choir boy & a blow up doll..she said Yes? what do you want? i ran away [ more ]
Kaffs I agree with all that Eugene.. and I'd add, I don't have kids but it worries me that all the kids who knock at my door are strangers to me. When we were young, we'd get ready to go guising and Mum would give a list of neighbours we were allowed to go to and she'd have whooped our asses if she thought we knocked on a stranger's door. Oh.. and there was no such thing as pumpkins either - you spend days whittling out the biggest turnip you could find - the smell of raw turnip still has me back... [ more ]

Amazon HELP !!!!
Enthusiastic ContrafibularitiesEnthusiastic Contrafibularities
Enthusiastic Contrafibularities Another attempt (5 minutes ago) has proved fruitful. Finally got my hands on the parcel, 1 week and 1 day late !!! Now I have to get in touch with Amazon to send back the replacement disc (which arrived Friday) and to pay back the cash they refunded me. TBF I'm more than happy to do that as I have my hands on the goodies, and one of them has increased in price by £6 so still saved me money. Thanks for the advice. ^ [ more ]

El Loro Former Eggheads star CJ de Mooi will "continue to co-operate with the Dutch authorities" after a failed attempt to extradite him to the Netherlands over an alleged killing. The ex-quiz show panellist, 46, from Caldicot, Monmouthshire, is accused of manslaughter, murder, assault and battery in Amsterdam in 1988. He was detained under a European arrest warrant at Heathrow Airport last month. Dutch authorities reportedly abandoned a bid to bring him to the Netherlands. Mr de Mooi, whose real... [ more ]

Saint Exactly - I want to see the place first [ more ]
Enthusiastic Contrafibularities There was a programme about these type of apps. Most small takeaways sign up. It's not always profitable for them, but if they don't some business can go to competitors. Also, I have seen stickers on takeaway windows saying that they are part of 'Hungry House' etc, personally I would not normally buy from places like that as they looked a bit iffy, but you don't always see that with an app. [ more ]

Kaffs Conservative chairman of the European Scrutiny Committee, and prominent Leave campaigner Sir Bill Cash thinks the government has a strong case, saying:"To attempt to revisit the decision by another Act of Parliament is a kind of fraud on the electorate."

Fun with Flags
Enthusiastic ContrafibularitiesEnthusiastic Contrafibularities
Eugene's Lair Don't worry about the text, Baz: it's the flags that matter. The only text that matters is the title: "Vexillogy" (although that should really be Vexillology ). Everything-else is related to the game "Perplex City" that the card comes from. There are no instructions: part of the puzzle is to work out what's going on! Having said that, the text at the bottom reads "The scribe that wrote this puzzle needs to see Anna Heath for grammar lessons immediately. S." - a game-related reference to how... [ more ]
Baz I can't read the writing Eugene .....and if I try to expand it it just blurs [ more ]
Eugene's Lair Not sure how well this will come across, but ideally you need to view it side-on (i.e. with the Welsh flag top-left), then work top-down, left-right. The unreadable text at the bottom implies that the puzzle-setter needs grammar lessons, and the answer is now wrong (the card was created 11 years ago), but still - any takers? [ more ]

Samsung permanently stops Galaxy Note 7 production due to fire risk
El LoroEl Loro
El Loro According to pcadvisor, the Galaxy Note 7 was due to go on sale on 2 September but pre-orders could be made from 16 August. Those who pre-ordered would get it 3 days earlier. http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/rev...iscontinued-3644337/ There was someone on the BBC news at lunchtime with one of them. He said that he had been able to replace it and wasn't happy that the replacement was risky. Presumably he was one of those who pre-ordered and so got it in the 3 days before 2 September. [ more ]
