I picked up a M&S free magazine and found 3 scratch cards inside. I scratched them in an idle moment to find that one had 3 matching symbols and another two. This seems to mean treasure beyond the...
I see that Toneee is to advise the LP on sport. Has anyone any suggestions as to which sport he is best qualified to advise on? Leapfrog? Skittles? Tiddlywinks?
Visiting someone who lives on a one-way road. We' were sitting in the garden in the sun - honest - and I couldn't help but notice how many people were riding bikes on the pavement - some in the wrong...
I had a corn removed on my little toe (in January!!) and the callous area around it is still very tender, to the extent that I can't wear a shoe (not funny in this weather). Has anyone heard of using...
My dog rolled in something which was absolutely vile - not anything dead, I think, but it had a really strong, pungent throat-gagging ammonia pong. I've never smelt anything like it before, thank...
Can anyone suggest one of these that does not slither around? It would be good if it had an extra bit that could be tucked in. Alternatively, could someone recommend an all-night under blanket? I'm...
It was just beautiful - red, gold, yellow; the sun a blinding crimson orb. The sky is still golden yellow at the horizon; the sea like a millpond. Mountains smokey grey, harbour lights twinkling and...

A few years ago I was given a room spray gadget that was adapted from an old 'Flit' fly sprayer (does anyone remember these?). It had a lovely bottle of Rose Tea room fragrance spray, which is now...
I went to a building supplies yard today only to have the man tell me that they were about to close for 30 minutes for lunch. I said I'd come back, so went and had a coffee nearby. When I came back...
Do they think their 'culture' allows them to do whatever they want? http://www.bbc.co.uk/...world-europe-18020242 One of them came to my door on Saturday (white van, hi-vis jacket, smarmy sales spiel)...
I am so angry. I put my new planters outside the front door yesterday at about 4pm. When I want to have a look at them at about 8pm, I found a dog had cr@pped in them. The planters are on the terrace,...
I saw an advert for an '8-bedroomed semi-detached house' close to where my friend lives. It looked like something that had been furnished from a skip. There were no pictures of the bedrooms. The...
