A couple of people were taken to hospital in Wiltshire last Saturday after being "exposed to a substance", according to the radio this morning. Wiltshire? Porton Down? Chemicals? Those Ruskies have...
I've just received one of those holiday offer cards from Mercury Holidays, but on the front, just above my address, someone has written in big letters, P=21. Is this a post office thing or something...
I wrote to The Sunday Times last week (see letter below). I was surprised to receive a reply from the letters editor telling me I made some strong points but they would not be publishing it. Normally...
....if you're feeling the heat. Fill your bathroom sink with cold water and put your arms in up to your elbows for a couple of minutes. It works. Kangaroos wet their paws to keep cool don't they?...
....... take it home and consume it, without complaining? Everyone does this at some point with one particular food item and I am not aware that anyone complains about it. What item is it? I should...
I briefly watched one of these programmes last night and I was baffled as to why someone had gone to the trouble of making a TV show about nothing much. That's the way it was then, in those years, but...
....after the outrageous and ridiculous claims it makes today about pollution. On the ITV News at dinner time they said that school children are more susceptible to car pollution than adults because...
On Springwatch tonight, the girl with the orange jacket on, said they were broadcasting just a short distance from the most southerly point of mainland Britain, Lands End. Oh dear! Wouldn't you think...

You're looking for things that just aren't there. Maybe this persons' passing has clouded things a bit for you. RIP Ecclescake. I read many of her posts....
.....didn't show up last night. Actually, I wasn't watching through the night so I suppose he could have appeared then. I was just checking the same times as previous nights. No show. He's probably...
....in the Bournemouth area, on a station called Hope FM, talking about HM Ships Glorious, Ardent & Acasta. Today is the 78th anniversary of their sinking. I know it's only a small local station but...
I was surprised to see a Barn Owl sat on my back fence last night, especially so close to town, as we are. My neighbour said he'd seen it earlier in his garden and it seemed to be sheltering behind...
...but the M60 car park strikes again! A trouble free journey to Manchester, then the M60 nightmare! Just 10 miles from home, it took me another 45 mins from the Trafford Centre. Wonderful. Don't you...
I don't believe him when he says he's had an M16 assault rifle tattooed on his leg to remind him of his father, who was murdered by a gunman. Who would want to be reminded in this way? It seems...
I think he has 2 options. Learn from his mistakes or let them get to him. I'm sure that Premier League players will be having more shots at him from outside the box next season. But how will Klopp...
