Re: anyone know where in Shields Ridley Scott was born?
You live in a huge house, pilot. :shock: =D> well done on that excellent pension. :wink: I had never heard of Ridley Scott (i am not up with all the actors on screen, let alone directors). Good list of movies there. Loved some of those. I looked up when Gladiator was released; about 2000. If that ph...

Over here, he is generally just known as Simpson and his donkey.

Re: Obama Conspiracy Theories
During some of the space flights and the moon landings, there were some times when the only places that were receiving the signal were in Australia. Tracking stations here. There was one incident (not the 1st moon landing, I think it was after that, the one that got into trouble?) where one woman wa...

Re: Shields isn't very 'canny' now...
Hmm, hope you won't mind an 'outsider' making a comment. Was reading a book recently where the author lamented the way a lot of interesting buildings were being pulled down in various English cities. Once it's gone, it's gone, and part of the charm of England for visitors would surely be the history...

Re: no but seriously.....
Even in communist countries, there are and have always been perks for those in power and there were always the haves and the have nots. Huge discrepancies too, not small ones. Part of what makes leaders into leaders is their drive and tenacity and they seem to apply some of that energy into pushing ...

Re: no but seriously.....
I agree the case against the van driver was tough. The first question that comes to mind is.. did they in fact test the van, to find out if it had been faulty and could have contributed to the accident? because if they did not, then basing a charge on what anyone 'thinks' seems a bit ridiculous. I a...

Re: no but seriously.....
I understand where you are coming from, but i think the law, as a whole, should be tightened up against some practices so most people don't get into trouble in the first place. For example, when it comes to mortgages, there should be a lot more plain English contracts and maybe a rule (as there used...

Re: no but seriously.....
My reading of the link would have led me to think it was suggesting some fancy moves to try to wriggle out of having to face debt. For those very people who might be 'entwined in devilish set ups'. I am not sure how much benefit would be obtained by people 'going the extra yard' and following all th...

Re: no but seriously.....
Hmm, I think the best way-the very best way, to get rid of debt isn't to follow that scenario in the link. You will get a bad credit rating that way and maybe won't be able to get a home loan etc down the track. The best way to make life a bit simpler is -don't put anything else on credit cards -gra...

Re: OBESE PEOPLE
Do you think that obese people should be taxed more and pay more council tax? Everybody over a certain weight shooud be banned from take-aways and pastry shops. Food shops should have doorways a certain size so that they can’t get in. Anybody buying them fattening food should be liable to prosecuti...

Re: BEYOND THE NETTY DOOR
Interesting, you are capturing an era, some of the things that are passed. My life and home was probably pretty different to yours but I can identify with the outside loo, which is what we had till the late 1960's. Unlike yours, ours was a 'real' outside loo. No fancy push button for us. Everything ...

Dream on. :D Most op shops have a valuer who looks at china/jewellery or any items that could possibly have any big value before they go out for sale.

Memor, what I found odd was the company stated it had trouble getting sponsorship. Now, we weren't looking at an idea, a gleam in someone's eye. We were looking at something that is almost ready for production and has been shown to work. Petrol prices have (supposedly) been causing pain everywhere. ...
