I'm trying to get some interest in an office choir at work. Since the office team mostly consists of 40-something male parks officers, tree surgeons and landscape architects this isn't going to be...
Does anyone know if these are any good just for calming excitable dogs? My dog isn't nervous or anything, just gets very hyper and exited sometimes and I just need her to calm down a little. She's 6,...
How true is this: http://www.ehow.co.uk/info_7992357_happens-inherit-mortgage.html ? Mum's just passed away without leaving any kind of will. For various historical reasons I won't go into, there is...
This may sound a bit weird, but I have always been interested in this man - what made him tick, how he became what he was and, in particular, why he seemed think that what he did was absolutely the...
I've been offered a deal on one of these at work. It'll mainly be an e-reader (books and magazines) with a few apps, possibly some music storage and for accessing the internet when I'm camping in the...
For a few weeks I've had a sort of pinspot tingling feeling low down on the outside my right cheek, level with my bottom teeth. It feels as though I've drooled (sorry) or splashed water onto it. No...
Any music teachers out there? I'm a fairly proficient musician but theory is rather rusty, so I'm looking to start work on something like grade 5 and take an exam. I'll be largely self-teaching with...

My son - who I don't see very often - has bought me a lovely big poinsettia. Thing is, house plants usually come to their last home when they come to me. I haven't a clue. Can someone tell me how to...
I took up knitting a few months ago and I'm really enjoying it and seem to be quite good at it. Naturally I'm amassing quite a few bits and pieces, but a plastic storage crate and a 'bag for life' are...
In a few weeks' time, as part of a staff review, I will be moving to another department. I'm pleased because I bl##dy hate the place I'm working in right now. The manager has made my life hell for the...
Thinking of starting my greyhound on Evening Primrose Oil to bring up her coat a little. Tesco 'people' brand are about a third of the price of, say, Dorwest, and the only difference I can see that...
Can someone settle this little argument for me and hubby? We were out dog-walking yesterday afternoon on a fairly busy country lane with no pavement and barely any walkable grass verge to speak of....
After much persuasion, my eighty-year-old Mum has (or so we had thought) seen sense and asked to take on her dangerously overweight Jack Russell Terrier for a while (possibly permanently) to get his...
We've recently had to relieve mother of her very obese Jack Russell Terrier, and this may possibly be a permanent move. To stop her getting too lonely we'd like to get her a pet bird, or possibly a...
Just heard that the fantastic and immensely talented drummer Eric Delaney has died in his sleep aged 87. He'll be sadly missed by those who knew him or knew of him.
Without going into too much detail, I've been getting a lot of grief from my office supervisor of late and I've now been told today that I have to meet with my managers to receive an 'oral warning'...
Someone I know did an ILM course - Institute of Leadership & Management. She's a first-time team leader with a couple of O'levels and ECDL level 2 by way of any other qualifications, and the...
