Thinking of possibly booking a summer break here as it looks really nice. I can get cheap flights to Pisa but need to find a decent cheap hotel, preferably half board. I can look up on the internet,...
My 82 year old Aunt purchased a freeview box with digital recorder this week and asked me to set it all up. At home Mr Spudqueen does all that sort of stuff, so I was a bit in the dark. Anyway, I...
My 81 year old Aunt has moved in with her boyfriend after he had an operation. Now his grand-daughter wants to rent my Aunts house, which is just as my Aunt left it, so fully furnished. The...
I have a contract with O2 and want a new phone. I'm looking at the phones I could get on a cheap (£18 per month) contract and apart from blackberrys and a Nokia (I hate them) I am left with a...
I have just watched 'Shall We Dance' with Fred Astaire and Gingers Rogers which was made in 1937. A lot of the action is on board an ocean liner sailing from Europe to New York. At one point it is...
Just watched this weeks edition of 1976 TOTP and Eddie and the Hotrods were on. I would have thought that this song would count, I mean, the drummer was in his undies and someone was wearing a t-shirt...
Whilst on holiday in Italy this summer we visited a market and saw a cut out plastic Mickey Mouse dancing between two speakers. We bought one but having tried it at home it doesn't work. Were we...
Opposite the Joiners Arms on Bishopton Road, Mumbles, Swansea there is a whole building which has been greyed out. Why would that be? I'm now so curious that if I lived nearer I would drive there just...
You know the sort, to put on windows to give that leaded window look. But where do you buy them from? It's my Auntie who wants some (for her caravan I think), but not having t'interweb she wants to be...
How do you set up a Facebook page for say a band that people can 'like' and then the news you put on the bands page appears on the homepage of the people that 'like' the band? As you can see I'm not...
This morning most of the headlines on the newspapers were about the Japanese tragedy, either on the nuclear reactor situation, or on the number of people missing or something along those lines. To me,...
I work with a 20 year old girl who is hoping to having a European (Mediterranean) beach holiday with her boyfriend this year, but has no idea where to go. They want somewhere with a beach and little...
I have a new jacket but the zip is really stiff and sticks as you are trying to zip up or down. Is there anything I can spray on the zip to make it run smoother?
Just noticed that our local council are advertising Christmas tree chipping to make mulch 'to feed the live trees' - on December 9th! Blimey, my tree won't even be up by then! It's even in the...
I have a membership with findmypast but not ancestry at the moment. I am trying to find a marriage of Sarah Ann Hodson and John Lord, probably in Rochdale. I am not entirely sure but there may be a...
I'm off to Italy in a couple of weeks and will be visiting San Marino one day whilst I'm there. I know that San Marino is not in the EU and so I should only bring back 200 cigarettes (for example),...
We've just hung wallpaper in our bedroom and have a beautiful Egyptian themed border to up next. Only thing is we're not sure where it would be best, either about 6 inches from the top of the wall, or...
