We’ve had the Salamander booster pump recommended for our shower, which runs at 10 litres per minute or less. The Salamander (allegedly) runs at 12 lpm consistently. Some reviews say the pump is...
Watching the C4 documentary on the 1919 massacre at Amritsar . Shocking, appalling - and the typical reactions from the descendants of the British officer who ordered his men to open fire on the...
Looking for a workround. I have most of my documents saved in QuarkXpress, as I've been using it for 30-plus years. Now, having linked my Mac to iCloud, I can SEE my documents on my iPad, but I can't...
........ would we have western values? Even Richard Dawkins appears to acknowledge this debt. Is his atheistic stance softening? I see him now referred to as an 'agnostic' (as well as a secularist and...
Society and the theory of evolution could embed a certain restriction to males, if the male themselves wishes to be seen as masculine (is it a choice?) Now.. a lot of people really don't care what...
Aqualisa shower. Alright, pretty expensive to start with, but we thought it'd last, which largely, it has. Just under two years ago we had a new 'charger' unit fitted, by Aqualisa, total cost £169...

This follows a chat with my friend at the weekend. So Mr Smow works very long hours, he spends 4 hrs a day just commuting! Roughly out or house from 6.30am - 7.30/8pm, often later. I work from home so...
Surely no matter what your politics are, aligning yourself with Nazis is a bit brainless. Do these young thugs (or ‘patriots’ as some have called them) need to be sat down with people who actually...
I've got all our cardboard photos scanned in, plus all the digital photos from the past 20 years, and the result of course is many hundreds (no I haven't counted them) of pics. You'd think that being...
...for a month to see if it makes a difference in how I feel mood and health wise. I use almond milk anyway but I've bought loads of dairy free alternatives and I like most meat free burgers, sausages...

Anyone any experiences of plastic surgery for non-cosmetic procedures? I have a small but painful ulcer on the bottom of my stump (amputated leg) which is taking months to heal, due I’m sure to its...
