Had a power cut tonight. One long one for about 20 minutes then 3 quick ones only a second or too. I was sat in the down stairs loo at the time, very strange to be in complete darkness there. I...
Here we go, yet again, folks! I scored a decent enough (in my opinion) FIVE out of seven on the main quiz: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-62804978 Some lucky guesses helped me to FOUR out of five in...
With OH being on holiday I thought I would have a change from tv for a while. In favourites on my iPad I have a few videos of favourite songs so I thought I would have an hours music. I played:- Neil...
OH has gone off on his annual travels. He has gone touring in France, being based in Poitiers, he is due back in about 10 days. I love it, I can eat when and what I want. Please myself when I get up...
Good evening, everyone! (Or, of course, if you're a latecomer to the thread, good morning, good afternoon or whatever!) The main quiz seemed to be quite easy this week, so my score of FIVE out of...

I don't know what I have done, I woke up with this unbearable pain in my right shoulder 2 days ago. I kept hoping it would improve but it hasn't. I don't sleep on that side. Is it possible to...
Well here we go again! A good start for me this week, with SIX out of seven in the main quiz: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-62500181 . . . but I could only manage a middling THREE out of five in...
Having recently joined the permanent medication brigade (in my case blood-thinning Clopidogrel and cholesterol-reducing Atorvastatin) and slowly coming to terms with the repeat-prescription process, I...
Would you? Apparently there’s a petition started early July gathering momentum , no link because that’s kinda advertising them, it’s about not paying your energy bills Personally I wouldn’t because it...
It can't be Friday again, can it, surely? Who keeps stealing all the days? Oh well, as it does actually seem to be Friday, I suppose that we'd better see if we can beat Aunty Beeb's question setters...
It's Friday again, so here we go yet again. However there aren't just three, but FOUR, quizzes to test out your little grey cells this week ;-) I got off to a good start this week, with SIX out of...
I do a lot of crosswords so I needed some envelopes as my supply was running out. Found a company selling 500 for £28.67, I thought this sounded okay, looked into it a bit more and found an offer for...
