That article has the best title I've ever seen in journalism.

I like the fact that fire person in German appears to phonetically not be too far from

"Phwoarr". And that the reporters name , at a pinch, is suggestive of a poor mans lubricant.

Also, if good, all Lidl offers come round again.

As a hobby, it's about as expensive as cycling ... you do a cheap competency course, get a cheap one, then it's completely free (except the cost of reaching water, although it's just half a mile from where I'll live).... no launch fees.

I noticed they still had a couple in my local store this weekend (saw them a while ago and thought of you... but figured you wouldn't be interested in acquiring more clutter before you'd committed ).

I have two, but that's due to modern building regs. You have to have one disabled friendly one, which they seem to stick on the ground floor ... then one in the bathroom.

Came on here to show my righteous indignation at Suarez but now can't stop laughing at michaels's story.

I like the look of the new site. I know I am in the minority.

Sadly its pretty unusable for me. Silvercar, you tested and are a migraine sufferer, did it give you migraines? I think it would be ok if it were compressed a bit and had a darker background option. I'd certainly be willing to try.

I've been following a blog called Sudden Lunch for a while now, Susie Bowker who writes it also has a blog about her writing, and she mentions a (free) program to help with eyestrain on this blog entry.

I've no idea if it would be any help for you, but seeing as it's free it might be worth a try?

Yes, I saw those, but didn't buy one for two reasons:

[1] The house (so space) wasn't assured - and I've avoided gathering "clutter for a life I am not currently living"
[2] I need to take a course and get a competency badge or two - and I figured when I go there I can find out whether they're any good/suitable or dangerous.

Also, if good, all Lidl offers come round again.

You might be able to purchase a kayak second hand. I'm sure I've seen them for sale round here (Abersoch) sometimes. Try to get someone who knows something about them to take a look at it for you. OH bought a second hand Miracle (sailing dinghy) cheap some years ago, but he's sailed since he was a kid, so knows the kind of faults to look for in sailing boats. And so do I now, as our lovely Ruddy Duck (Seabird Half-Rater for any yachties) has had loads of problems over the years I've sailed and known her, mostly fixed now since last re-build... (fingers crossed!) Somebody who's kayaked for years will know what faults to look for and check.

I'd like a Key Buddy ... that's somebody that hangs out on the Big Day ... kicking stones round town to kill time until the call comes, then off to collect the keys and have a look for the first time.

That's going to be a long day alone....

You lot should have all moved closer!!
