Don't know if this has already been posted, but a 99 year old chap is walking 2.5km before his 100th birthday to raise money for the NHS. So far he's raised over 6 million. How fantastic is that. Good...
Tesco, as well stocked as it was, didn't have any Sauvignon Blanc in a box (I know, I know), but they had Soave, so I got that instead. Meh, I'm 2 glasses in and I don't like it.
When daughter started uni last Sept, she had to register with a doc near to where she would be living. Now she's home til at least September, she has no access to a GP. Can she register back with the...
Not sure where this question should go, so sorry if it's in the wrong section. A friend of mine has 2 jobs, (different employers), and has been furloughed from one of them. Will he be eligible for the...
If anyone's a bit bored, grab a pen and paper and join one of the world's largest pub quizzes. At Chez Racoon, we enjoyed last weeks offering, so we'll be there again tonight....

I have one that I'll be cooking tomorrow, it weighs 8.2 kg. Looking at guidelines it says to cook for around 6 hours. Does that seem about right to you? Actually, as it's far too big for us, do you...
Tesco hasn’t had any fresh sage for ages and both of my plants have died. Is there a shortage of the stuff? I really wanted to get the Christmas stuffing done and frozen, do you think dried sage...
One of my front crowns snapped off whist eating a wafer biscuit yesterday. Do you think the dentist will be able to glue it back whilst waiting for a new one to be made. I don't want to go out of the...
I can highly recommend this beautiful city. Cheap as chips and the locals are very pleasant, with the added bonus of not yet being overrun with British stag and hen parties
It says it measures 200cm x 200cm. The double duvet (UK) that I have ordered is sized at 200cm x 200 cm as well. Do you reckon it'll fit? Will the cover measurements be the inside, as in actual space,...
