Not a question - just a tip. If anyone`s thinking of booking a holiday for later in the year, the Barbados government is giving tourists from the UK and Europe US$200 (thats B$400) spending money at...
Now that the UK has voted against military action in Syria, is there any likelihood that Akrotiri will be involved in any conflict? Have the US been allowed to fly from there in previous conflicts? I...
I`ve got one of those attachments that came with a hand blender and I occasionally use it for chopping herbs. I`ve just got Rick Stein`s India cookbook and he uses a mini food processor for mixing...
I`ve got two pots of chilli plants which are Hot Prairie Red. Except that they`re not red, they`re pale green and have been for at least a fortnight. Do some chillies take ages to ripen? I`ve only...
I`ve grown some herbs this year. I was going to pick off some of the leaves and freeze them (mint and flat leaf parsley). I have noticed little white (ish) spots on them. I`m presuming it`s some sort...
I clicked the firefox symbol on the top left of screen and clicked 'view in full screen'. I don`t know how to get back to how it was previously. Does anyone know please?
Didn`t catch her name and I don`t watch it much, but the woman in the nursing home that Max`s wife is visiting. Was she the actress that played the mother in The Krays?
Has anyone signed up to this? What are your opinions on it so far? I got the hard sell yesterday when I bought breakdown cover and I`m not interested but I thought it might be useful for my Mum....
What happens when someone gets discharged from A&E and they are vulnerable? Does the hospital have any responsibility? Last night I was in A&E after slicing through my finger with a knife. There was a...
Heart Radio`s playing Lets Dance by David Bowie. I remember that from the hot summer of 1983. There always seemed to be songs that were released in summer and when you hear them years or decades...
I`m just listening to Killing Me Softly (on the radio) by Roberta Flack. Why is that song so depressing? It doesn`t bring back any bad memories, it`s just depressing. Likewise, anything by The...
Several weeks ago I noticed a patch (about the size of a fingertip) of dry skin on my back (below the shoulder blade where it meets the underarm area). I bought some Lotil cream and used it for a...
You know those little socks that you wear in trainers (that don`t go up to the ankle)? Do they slide under your foot when you wear them or do they stay in place?
Can anyone recommend a patio cleaning solution please? I picked one up in Aldi a while ago but it hasn`t made a lot of difference. I seem to remember my neighbour saying she cleaned her path with...
I bought a load of herbs the other day and put them in one of those plastic greenhouses. The coriander had sold out but the guy said there`s still time to plant it from seed so that is what I`ve done....
I`ve got some little pots of basil that I need to pot up. I`ve got two pots:- 14cm depth x 15cm width at top and 20cm depth x 21cm width at top. The ticket on the plant says height up to 60cm. It...
Just wondering. Has anyone ever had one of those DNA tests that tells your ancestory? Colleagues were telling me about the Eddie Izzard programme that I missed. Thought I might give it a go.
I bought a load of strawberries at the market today and I want to make some jam. I`ve looked at all the usual sites and there seems to be a huge variance as to the amount of sugar to fruit. Does...
