I'm stupidity personified but I could hardly believe what I heard in a recent advert - for Barclays, obviously. They boasted that you could have access to SOME of your savings AT NO COST!!! And this...
I came across a couple of packets of tobacco the other day at the back of the wardrobe but they're a bit dry. Is there a way of rejuvinating them with a little moisture?
I would've thought that a politician changing their mind is a healthy sign - the bedrock of a democracy; the whole point of having a talking shop. It's certainly better than a PM who surrounds...
Have we become so addicted to technology that we have to buy an extremely expensive gadget into which we input texts so we can read them? Why not take a trip to WHSmiths and buy the equivalent?...
history has documented the reactions of the Germans on being told that the Enigma code had been broken several years before or that the majority of their spies had been turned, etc or even if any of...
start a political party, pressure group, anything - to claim back common sense, allow political incorrectness and bring some sanity back into our lives? I'm sure I can't be the only one who now...
