  1. Having read his comments I think he should have got 25 to life. He has a history of violence, and then told police he didn’t give a f if the old guy died or ended up cabbaged? Says it all to me.
  2. Check the continuity of the wiring and be sure you have both the red and yellow wire fitted to 12v at the same time to test it.
  3. When I checked the history a while back, there was a holder with 1 bond bought back in the 60s who won the million. So it does happen.
  4. my son bought me a cheap one from B&M for Christmas and it’s been great. best for chips from fresh suds is the tefal actifry. But there are plenty cheaper options.
  5. This sounds familiar! If SHE served you the papers, get her to admit her Adultery! It will speed up the process no end. This is what happened to my marriage. She went on holiday with her brother and his wife, I stayed home and looked after the 6 kids. Three from her previous marriage and two from a previous relationship. Then of course Our child. She was going behind my back with her brothers friend who had property out there. I found letters too. When I confronted her she of course denied it, but eventually came clean when I filed for divorce. I walked away from the moment I found out leaving everything but my Son, who she insisted I take with me, after I got a place of my own. The solicitor was amazing. Got everything tied up very efficiently and if I remember right it was months from lodging it to the decree absolute! But this was speeded up because the courts had proof she was adulterous due to her own confession. Its not a nice place to be! But it’s worse for the kids! Hope you get it sorted swiftly. Life moves on, as will you! I now have a GF of 12 years who has recently helped me through a family loss. She is amazing and we’re right for each other. But we’re also not wanting to get married again as she is a divorcee too. We are planning long term to be together though with our own place. Hopefully you will come out of this stronger as I did and find the right one
  6. I will look after it for you for 10 years be no interest on it though
  7. I am so so sorry for your loss matey 😞 there is nothing I can truly say take away the anguish and pain. It’s a sad place to be, and having all the rigmarole of organising the necessary paperwork etc is another blow when your down. I have Mums funeral tomorrow. So I know a little of how you feel, but it hits each of us differently which is how it’s difficult to offer a meaningful condolence. Hope it was at least a peaceful passing 😞
  8. My partner and I went along to tarifa and got a ferry to tangier. Bit of an eye opener but was a cheap enough day trip. Nice little market to the west of benalmadena too
  9. Personally I am not in a position to comment for or against as I am not in full possession of facts. I don’t trust politicians! It’s that simple. Through the 70s 80s naughties and now they have ALWAYS lied to get into power, be it spin or plain old whoppers. But that aside, the vote was cast that the UK was to leave the EU. In my view we need to stop acting like spoiled children on both sides, and remember we have to work with that guy next to you, you probably drink next to him in the pub, your child is possibly being taught by him, or he could be the surgeon saving your life. Personally I would like to see us leave with nothing! Then after a period of collecting ourselves, see what deals are available not only with the rest of the world, but with Europe too. As Teal has said, a fresh start to the thread, why not to our negotiations with the EU?
  10. Worked Saturday and Sunday! Now have two weeks off. Both sat sun were hot working in the warehouse. Today was quite hot again but being in shorts and t-shirt made a huge difference. Another hot one again tomorrow then it starts to tail off apparently.
  11. I had the back of my classic caravan stoved in by a plumber in a services coming back from Brum. He got out looked at the back of his van then the back of my caravan and drove off the swine when I got back to the car a nice old lady told me what had happened and unfortunately couldn’t get the reg for her eye sight! I asked the services for the CCTV but was told they don’t give out the footage only today on the way way back from Ashington I came across a roundabout and a guy pulled out in front of me! Slammed on his brakes and had the Gaul to shake his head at me. Cheeky sod.
  12. That’s a tad excessive 😮 i had a HUGE crease over a fold in the car door done on my 406 for under £50 I would shop about.
  13. Cyclists back then weren’t two a penny farthing!
  14. Thank you far all the kind words Guys! I got to tell her how much I loved her before she went. She wasn’t alone which would have been a huge guilt trip for me. Dad and I went to see her this morning in the chapel of rest and dad had a good old cry. He kissed her and told her how much he loved her before saying his final farewell. It cut me up to keep a stiff upper lip. As I told him, it’s not mum now, she has now gone on before him. As we sat sat waiting for the chaplain I wrote a eulogy for mum and showed it to dad. He had another cry and we spent time just father and son. We have a lot to get through in the coming weeks but as I said before. We will get through this as a family and be stronger for it. The heavens will seem a little brighter now she has gone.
  15. Thanks Mike, I really appreciate that!

    Broken.

    The event I have dreaded for years has finally happened. Having spent over 10 hours in hospital by her side, at 23:55 the woman who brought me into this world, has finally left mine. 😞 she fought with COPD and a weak heart for years, but finally today her heart could not cope any longer. Surrounded with love she peacefully slipped away. Poor dad was asleep at home having spent the day there with me. Not only visiting mum, but complaining of chest pain. After xrays they have found a shadow in his lung. They think it may be the big C but he needs to go back for them to do more tests. I had to drive down and wake him at midnight and hug him as I told him his wife of over 50 years had gone before him. It broke my heart to have to leave her to the hospital staff after they confirmed her death. But will take dad tomorrow to visit her in the chapel of rest. Now the paperwork all starts. I don’t know what’s going to happen at work as I am unsure if they pay for bereavement leave and I can’t really miss the mortgage. I will have to chat to them about it. this is such a distressing time for the whole family. I have managed to hold it together today and support my sisters and my brother. Dad was already accepting of the fact mum was not coming home. He turned to his belief in God, and clings to the hope he will see her again. I have offered him a room here at mine on a permanent basis if he needs. Or if he wants I can move into a room there on a short term basis until he comes to terms fully. I have lost many loved ones. Aunts, uncles, grandparents! Nothing could have prepared me for this! Holding her hand I couldn’t help but think of all the times those hands had an impact on my life, holding me as a child, feeding, nappy changes, winding, rocking the cot, pushing the pram, dressing me, working to provide for me, cuddling me when I was unwell or sad, helping me when I needed, congratulating me, patting me on the back, holding my hand and telling me everything would be ok as she lay dying. Then finally letting go as she slipped away after 73 years. Good night Mum. Sleep well and We will ALL see you again when you wake! But until then, know you were “are” loved and held close to our hearts.
  17. Caretaker? I wouldn’t trust the smarmy sod with a dustpan and brush! Let alone run the country.
  18. Mate, what can I say 😞 that is just downright crappy. My Nan was diagnosed when I was around 19 and given 6 month! To our amazement “and in true nan style” she defied everyone and went on for years. And I hope this is the case for your Sister. It doesn’t remove the darkness that looms I know, but it gives you so much more time to not only prepare, but for you to enjoy time with her and make fond memories. There are times when I wish I could work miracles. Not to make myself rich, but to genuinely help prevent friends and family from suffering. Useless at quite a lot matey! But if you need someone just to scream at etc, you know where I am.
  19. Shame they can’t stop the use of plastics so abruptly! I read a while back that apparently there was more lead in chocolate than game meats. Are they to ban chocolate too then? apparently there are still trace amounts of lead on petrol, are they to close all their forecourts too? https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/thinkprogress.org/theres-still-lead-in-your-unleaded-gasoline-f0124ebdcb17/amp/ https://www.politics.co.uk/opinion-formers/british-association-for-shooting-and-conservation-basc/article/basc-lead-in-game-meat-fears-should-not-be-exaggerated
