The summer house has lost some of its felt. Grr! Those annoying things that are not sufficiently large to claim on insurance but will cost a lot to put right.

That's what frustrated me about Buncefield... thousands of people ended up in that situation, couldn't claim, not worth spending years as part of a class action. Local residents collectively ended up millions out of pocket.


Gen... sounds like the new prescription may not be such a bad thing:(

Good news for those who like to wash their cheese down with something. It's now (scientifically) encouraged!

14 bottles a day. Ignore that it's wine and think about that sheer volume of any liquid. Any liquid. Every day.

You'd have to be drinking all day every day, constantly sipping, glugging, finishing the glass and loading the next one. It'd have to be relentless just to get through the volume!

I think it's 18.5 pints. That's a HELL of a lot of ANY liquid. EVERY day!

I feel sorry for him. I'm nothing like that but when I see people like that I sometimes see how l could end up that way.

A friend of mine drank himself to death and another had to go into rehab for a considerable period of time. A couple of others have had to swear off drinking for years to get things under control. That's quite a toll for a 42 year old I think.

The absolute minimum I am meNt to drink a day is four litres Less than that and my head hurts more. Six is better.

Plus 14 bottles of wine is about 9,000 calories and that's before you've even thought about the post session kebab!

He's a big fella though - in all directions.

Probably just drank, didn't eat anything - I heard years ago that a lot of alcoholics get all their calories from drink.

The 2 are combining to push on my sciatic nerve. I've been given diclofenac(sp?) if that works then great, if not then it's a cortisone injection in my spine.

Hope you feel better soon.

Be warned - always always take the diclofenac with a proper meal. It is not the sort of stuff where "take with food" means "a banana is OK".

Watching Restoration Man on 4+1.
Couple bought an old derelict school for £150k on a bridging loan at £400/week. They have a mortgage on their current home that's still unsold and been on the market 7 months.

Did George Clarke point it out many times and then ask them lots of downbeat questions to make them cry?

That's his usual trick.

I'll never forget the program wher he would go in an redo peoples houses using their money. There was one family who came home to find he's omitted the loft conversion that they actually wanted but done some other wow thing for about £50k. They looked devasted while he stood there and said they hadn't given him enough money!

CN't remember what that programme was called. I want to watch it.
