My favourite wrong answer was "they'll build a ring road around Stourbridge before I do that".

So, the BIG news today is that somebody called Kate has gone into labour. About as exciting as Big Brother.
It would be pretty funny if after another week or so, Prince William came out the front of the hospital with Kate minus bump and they just shouted "suckers" flicked a few Vs at the photographers and ran off.0 -

Hope it carries on getting better. Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

Anglicanism also got rid of the "cleansing of sin" part of the Churching swiftly after the Reformation - in the Edward VI prayer book, from memory....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

Didn't know that specifically - although I'm not surprised by it. Learn something new everyday, eh? Thanks for educating me.Just a head-up that we can't see this thread (or other hidden ones) or post anywhere else on the forum this weekend. Or PM anybody.
