Delain Valium is the trade name of diazepam Very amusing to watch, and it does its job very well. Not recommended for driving though.

My brother's still a crap and a nervous driver now. I remember him puttering along the motorway at 45mph telling me that just because the speed limit is 70mph doesn't mean you have to go at it :eek: and all these cars are whizzing by shaking their fists and their middle fingers at us.

Did a search on my name and read back and have seen what people posted about missing me and I feel silly now. Sorry everyone

I think I've got the gist of things and pleased it's not just me who is feeling uncomfortable about the person.

Happy birthdays, congrats, welcome to newbies and *hugs* to everyone who needs one.

Had a good summer holidays with some nice trips out with the bairns to local places. Been updating pics on Facebook.

Added to my daredevil streak by completing a tree top assault course. It was fantastic but a bit scary in places, as it's a long way down! There's a mix of rope bridges, tightropes, balance beams, wooden bridges, zip wires from tree to tree, climbing nets and all sorts to get through. Did it with the boys and James was brilliant at it.

Finished all my uni assignments now and have just handed the last one in this week. Just got the exam in October to do now.

Getting ready for new schools now. James is starting secondary school on Wednesday, and then Charlotte goes to nursery on Monday 13th. She looks so cute in her uniform - pics to follow.

Completely off topic, has anyone had any experience of Tesco sofas?

Yes - don't buy one!

I bought a leather pair on BOGOF and after two months of normal household use, the leather started shredding on the seats and holes appeared. I complained to Tesco who blamed us for abusing it! Complained some more and they sent out an independant technician to examine it. He pointed out that it was really poor quality leather and to illustrate, he poked the seat cushion hard with his finger and his finger went straight through. He also showed me how poorly made the frame was.

Ended up asking for a refund as they were not fit for purpose and then bought from https://www.thomaslloyd.co.uk They are all leather sofas but read the "look inside" section which will explain about the timber and construction, springs etc., so you know what you are looking for when you shop around. They're part of the https://www.sofasofa.co.uk group, and I know other divisions sell fabric sofas. Two ladies my Mam works with bought through Sofa Sofa and were happy which is why we bought from them.

That's OK, I'm rubbish too :rotfl:

I say Portsmouth, it's Waterlooville area we go to. Takes a long time from here on L plates because you can't use the motorway :rotfl:

I'd rather people went stupidly slow than the opposite. One of the things I find most annoying is when someone overtakes me near the end of a thirty limit because they want to drive faster than thirty and then proceed to slow me down by continuing to drive at the same speed as they were before in a sixty limit. It's like they have no idea that speed limits exist and therfore don't imagine that I might speed up going froma thirty to a sixty.
