Recently I've come across small plastic strips with barcodes stuck to some products, but found at least one stuck on the inside of a sealed packet, only discoverable once it's been taken home. Was...
I've noticed no one's been shown in the loft this week. Is there a reason for it? Do they want to keep the last 5 together so it's more likely the'll be conversations and people won't spread out too...
As someone's started the ball rolling, I had to ask who's from my locality- I'm just north of the North Circular in NW9- any neighbours out there? (Previously from E. Finchley as well).
Is there any special reason why so many drivers (especially minicabs) have a CD hanging from their car mirror, some with Arabic inscriptions? They seem to get in the way and though the rainbow effect...
As usual Channel4 (UK) didn't trail Enterprise (series 3) and I've just heard I missed the first two episodes (as I did last series as well). I've checked the papers and apparently they aren't...
There is now a new category of local codes starting with 0 and 1 called 'national dialling'. All I know is they are only used for outgoing data calls, which is why they can use numbers starting with 1...

I have confirmed 'Florida fantasy', from John Barry's Midnight Cowboy collection of themes was used for Wildtrack, but was also used earlier in its longer version. I remember it was for maths or...
I have a book where it has an index of musical notes and the associated music. Is there a site where you can put in a number of notes and it returns the music that relates to it as my book is only old...
In the redone series, Minty Sutton was a kitchen assistant, but on one episode someone called him by his full name (I think he was arrested) but I didn't catch it. Did anyone else?
Apart from Max Clifford, are there any other British PR agents able to get someone in the papers regardless, on payment of their fee? He is able to within a week usually though I don't know if he...
Having just seen the trailer for Bridget Jones for the first time, I couldn't understand why they used an American to play an English character (with an amazingly good accent!) when Equity used to...
I've just come back after a while, and found the member's name displayed by each new question without having to open it to see, an opportunity to have favourite threads besides our own, and (fanfare)...
Is there a way to raise a member's name to see when they joined, where they live and list/count their posts? I suspect the software doesn't include it, but I think we're a nosy bunch here and would...
There's been a bridge to nowhere for years now on the old M41 at White City, designed to give access for a shopping mall to be built connecting it with the currently dead-ended Ariel Way (where the...
