May I add my Dad was not a miner. We lived near a working man's club and every Fri, Sat and Sun it would be heaving with miners. If they won anything you could hear the chant. 'We won't be in...
A waste of money. I'm not speaking of Maggie here. Surely the dead don't know how they are disposed of. One of the reasons I ask is a neighbour has got herself in to debt to give her husband a good...
Until then I had never uttered a swear word. My Dad always said people swear because they don't have the vocabulary to express themselves. Although Mic now does not swear as much as in the past, I now...
But I feel I will get advice here please. My car is an 08 Corsa. Since Mic has been ill I am the only driver. I only go out when I have to, roughly once a week. Today the car "coughed" before starting...
Circumstances prevented it this week so I went today. The car park was nearly empty and free. Got round the shops in record time. Maybe I will change my day. The only downside is the TV mag as it goes...
I was given a Dunhill 22 carat gold cigarette lighter. I have just dropped it in the washing up water. Will it dry out or is it knackered. Please no anti smoking lobby answers.

I live in a cul-de-sac which is off a side road, which is also off a side road. We are once again snowed in. No gritters or snow ploughs have been near. I realise the main routes take priority, but we...
I made Spag Bol (Mics Favourite) Sheperds Pie and Cottage pie. Mic has a lot of trouble with choking, That's why I try to make meals that are easy to chew. Anyway, today I told him what I'd made and...
When I was young and had nowt, I got nowt. In the early 70's if you became pregnant, there was no guarantee of getting your job back. There was no family allowance for a first child. No money to help...
France, many moons ago. I don't understand the fuss about eating horse meat. I understand you may not choose to, as I didn't. I do think this 'scandal' is a mountain from a molehill.
Before bedtime. I always buy Pepsi Max. Today I could not be ar$ed with going to Asda to buy it ( I hate that shop, I go once a month for Mics Script ) I digress, In Aldi I bought a zero sugar cola...
