    :lol::lol::lol: Somehow winning The Ashes makes the sunshine brighter, the wine more enjoyable, company better and life worth living - but apart from that nothing changes :thumbsup:

    The Ashes 2010

    The problem with the Aussies is that they have never learnt to roll over and die! Just confirms there is nothing like an Ashes series :)

    I did not make this up.

    I can think of so many things that would help my "mental and physical well being" - I just hadnt realised I needed a disability to get a council to fund them!

    SCHOOL -- 1957 vs. 2009

    You forgot to add in the 2009 scenario "Education Authority sued for damages by child's family. Solicitors make money."

    Jim Craik sounds like a jerk!

    I totally agree that this is a remarkably intelligent and tolerant forum. Your apology Jim is a prime example of why this is a good one. One of the great things about a shared passion is that it can overcome so many of the differences in life like politics and age and nationality and even...

    A very powerful piece of writing by Bryan Forbes

    I really wish I had not read this - the amount of money being offered is disgraceful. Actually the thought she will get even a penny of money makes my blood boil. I am so furious I cant even laugh at the stupidity of it all. It is an insult to the soldiers who do their duty at risk of their own...

    A very powerful piece of writing by Bryan Forbes

    BBC News - MoD to compensate female soldier for discrimination Political correctness gone mad. I will vote for any party that gets rid of laws that end up with decisions going like this. It is so nice to know that Britain is completely protected - as long as the children arent ill or the...

    A very powerful piece of writing by Bryan Forbes

    Keith, I have to admire you for managing as you have. I have a friend who is currently better off not working than working. Not working, she receives housing and other benefits. If she takes a job, they disappear. I realise that this situation would not apply to professionals whose salaries...

    Got Burgled Yesterday...

    Graham very sorry to hear about this. I've been in the same situation (twice) while I lived in London. It's an awful feeling. Hope you and your wife didnt lose anything of sentimental value because no insurance can cover that. I just second the advice already given - very visible alarms, good...

    A very powerful piece of writing by Bryan Forbes

    Evidence that this country is now completely mad BBC News - Expenses body to cost six times more than MPs' payback According to my calculations (with 646 MPs and 724 Lords), each one will cost us £4744 per annum to check they arent fiddling. Honesty is obviously an expensive commodity...

    Not all actors are a waste of time........

    Johnnie Johnson died in 2001 and the film was from the 2008 memorial fly past (I assume), so I dont really understand the comment. There is a video clip on the BBC coverage of the event BBC NEWS | UK | Dambusters remembered 65 years on (hope that works) I'd thought for years that Richard Todd...
