Oh, Right.:DOH: I thought i'd pm'd you too John, till I looked back at the thread:DOH: Stupid boy Pike:DOH:

Thanks Ziggy, I'll be walking around singing it for the next week now! I didn't know they were Welsh either.

I guess I live not that far from Pete. My lawns haven't seen any rain since ..... I can't remember when, to the extent that they now 'crunch' underfoot - there's nothing to mow (which is a bonus!), but there are now weeds where there weren't before and, of course, they're romping away!

To someone who never progressed beyond 'stick men' and a round thing with spikes coming out of it (bit like this !) for the sun - I am always in awe of anyone who can draw or paint.

MA CHE SCHERZIAMO??? Il parasole per far ombra al prato... :D:D (for short:joking?)

That's devastating news. What an awful tragedy. I wish I had some wise words right now but I'm stuck. Nothing will ease the pain that the lads parents now have to endure, but I hope it helps in some small way that so many people are genuinely giving their sympathy.

I stumbled across this free online game:Entanglement - by Gopherwood StudiosIt is just so addictive. I can see it taking over my soul if I'm not careful

The numbers 3, 6, 9 have followed me through my life. Since my middle name is Thomas I doubt anything is spiritual, or that there are thing that go bump in the night, and believe me I've been in lots of places where something "spiritual" should have happened. I can't explained what happened...

Gemini, I'm living in my eighth house to date. With regards selling and buying it depends on the market. If selling is slow in your area, get your house on the market first. Reverse the advice if selling is fast. You must also take into account whether you think your own house will sell easily....

OK clever techi people I need your help. Our Humax RT531B freeview recorder is playing up. It won't delete recordings ,when I press the red delete button the mute sign comes on .Why ? It's always worked fine until now. It's about 18 months old. I have tried turning it off at the mains and...

I have now switched yours on for you too Spruce.. You should both have them now...It is all in your user CP.. Edit Options, then at the bottom of the page, but I have done it for you both as I was in there anyway....

Is your neighbour anything like this? I heard the music from miles away as I was driving towards it. The owner was in a deckchair in the garden with a 12 pack alongside him. He waved at us as we went by in our jeep, hanging on for dear life, as the volume tried to throw us out of the car.

You are right about the humidity, they will stop feeding if you get it dried out. Like has been said, chances are its old exit holes. You can get a woodworm killer which is painted on. The preventative spray is useless if there already holes, as new beetles will use them to go down & lay eggs,...

ziggy, I bought her first album 'It's My Way' when it came out in 1964 - still got it . Apart from the two tracks I mentioned the title track is an interesting one - haven't got time to find a copy on the net.

We moved from a village where we lived for 21 years because we could no longer stand the noise from the dual carriage way half a mile away and the helicopters buzzing overhead from the nearby airfield to a village on a hill We got rid of the noise problem but have a wind problem instead which...

No worries, I certainly did more than my share in derailing the thread.Wonder how Melinda's getting on?

Don't mind a Walnut, got put off them in Majorca when I found the packet was infested with little crawly bugs, did a lot of spitting out. We have invented a new name for a method treating obese people within the NHS, think it Baryometrics or bathyscope, something like that:DOH:

Yes Capney.........my motor lawnmower, it drives me mad. I only bought it two years ago, It will start when it feels like it, I'm sure I will pull my arm out of it's socket! It's been checked out but it hasn't made any difference. If I curse it and walk away for a minute then come back, it...
