I ordered a light rain jacket about a week ago. Three days later it arrived. No Email telling me it had been dispatched etc. It just arrived Royal Mail. I've had it for three days and today I got this Email from the company. Surely there's not another one on the way ? It was £55. I assume if it...

For many,like myself, it's not a case of being 'uncomfortable'. Being at heights terrifies me. A ride on the Eye might well be 'worth it' for people who are just 'uncomfortable' with heights but for many, who greatly fear being at a height, it's a non-starter. I felt very uneasy just looking up...

My wife told me about this story because her friend and her husband has just returned from there and they said the toboggan hit the side and stopped down by the school so it must have got most,if not all ,the way down. Must have been terrfying for them. I've never trusted these 'rides'...

A few on here have mentioned the wicker basket/toboggan ride from Monte, a village 1804 ft above Funchal, Madeira. I've been there but didn't fancy that ride. It looked too risky to me. The run is 2km and takes about 10 minutes..quite a way,really. Last week there was an accident when one of...

You hope.. :D.

Yes, agree Andy but my point was the failure to ring the doorbell or use the door knocker to alert the householder especially when it was reasonable to assume that someone was at home. Car on the drive, lights on downstairs and upstairs.I still can''t get my head round why the driver didn't do...

One of the two JBL external computer speakers I have was permanently buzzing. I've now bought Creative Pebble V2 speakers. Nothing fancy but highly recommended by various reviews. I got an Email telling me they would arrive between 6.00pm and 10.00pm. today, so, at 8.30pm I checked my Emails to...

I'm posting these clip,too because he's singing to alligators and it doesn't look to me that there's a barrier. The second one is one of, if not, the best. Ring-Tailed Lemurs. Try to see the funny meerkats, too. There's one with parrots which is funny because one vigorously bobs its head up...

One of this singer's videos popped up on my Youtube channel and I found it to be a lovely watch. I like his voice,too. I've never heard of him,though. I'm posting a compilation video .There are a few individual ones that will advertise themselves on the screen near the end of each...

Yesterday, I went to town on the bus. At one bust stop an elderly man got off...slowly with one of his shopping (?) bags and was about to get back on to collect another three from the platform where passengers can put items when the driver left his cab, collected them, got off the bus and...

Sounds awful, Dale. Horse fly bites are particualrly nasty.No point to horseflies nor mozzies. About 4 nights ago, when I was in bed, I heard a high pitched mozzie sound. Like a WW2 Stuka in a dive.Over the next few days my arm reddened,itched and swelled up. I'm surpised it's lasting so long...

You're right,Alan. £100 million is the starting point set for reparations re the slave trade and churches throughout the land have beeen starved of funds for repairs and people,like yourself, putting in the hours to raise funds and I recall you saying you also give your time helping out with...

Oh dear. No..not atall. It happens with me sometimes. It's religion.It should be in HT with my other post re the Archbishop and the Muslim cleric .Very strange. Well, it gave Nod a laugh and we certainly need a laugh these days.

The Church of England erring again. It's now closed a display of a tapestry in Leeds Minster featuring the names of people killed in Gaza after it was pointed out to them that it featured,at least, 25 members of terrorist groups. Twelve of them were banned under UK terrorism legislation. Due...

Thanks. I'm signed up to Lightroom Queen and will, in future, stick with her and Adobe.
