All the best to all, our little tree and oldest granddaughter earlier today, two sleeps for Santa Have a good one, all the best for 2017

I had a thought about that too.Clearly there are those that exploit and manipulate people's beliefs for their own reasons. Even from the story itself that much is clear. There are no women in the story at all, except for young Mary who quite frankly is portrayed as a needy airhead. I'm pretty...

Oh, Yeah, that's for sure

I know. My big toe joint is carnage. I've seen the xray. The MRI revealed even more. It seems that when I broke it, a fragment of bone from the joint surface ended up in the wrong place and set there when it healed. A&E missed the fact it was broken at the time. To be fair, they don't have much...

If you receive any phone call that is a recorded message you should always treat it as a scam. No genuine organisation would do any cold calling by recorded message. Particularly as there are a significant number of home phones that now have one or other form of call blocker on them.These...

It's @"M" 's favourite, also

We really enjoyed Disneyworld but it was in the days when there didn't seem to be all that much crowding. It was Epcot where we spent most of our time and that didn't appeal much to the children so families rarely spent much time in there.The science was interesting/fascinating, their...

Belated Birthday wishes to you @john558

It's generally thought that most of the words were already in existence but hadn't been written down. Shakespeare was a genius at putting them in a context that the less well educated could understand better.In a later period Lewis Carrol used words that already existed for his poem...

Probably not allowed to these days in case it offends the non christian element.

Yes but you also mustn't forget the country of the Duchy of Grand Fenwick whose space programme in 1963 built a manned spaceship to the moon. It was shown in the film 'The Mouse on the Moon' and was the sequel to the 'Mouse Who Roared'.David Kossoff was the scientist who invented and built...
