  2. I went last year, amazing, did loads even saw the lights Ironically I've booked some flights into Agadir then out of Marrakech for Easter time Good shout, I'll have a look at some flights Bit far, I've only got a week
  3. Good point! I don't mind spending for the right destination. I've done Europe on a budget over the last thirty years, fancy a change. Though I know that a week isn't long.

    Heat pumps

    Anybody had a heat pump installed? Pros and cons? What sort of overall price for installation (I know this is difficult depending on house size) Any advice or thoughts welcome.

    Iceland

    Hi, I've just booked some cheap flights to Iceland in October, I'm there for six nights, travelling on my own. Anyone been recently? What's the best way of getting around? The 'must see' sights, things to avoid etc. Cheers
  10. Can't remember what I paid five years ago but just had to fork out £100 for my medical form at the doctors!
  11. Hi, I realise that with mortgage rates being high that this isnt necessarily a good time to consider this but I'm toying with the idea of buying a small second property to give an income. The idea being that it will provide me with an addition to my pension when I eventually retire. Can anyone enlighten me to the possible pitfalls etc? Cheers

    Ebay Scammer

    I've pretty much stopped using Ebay as a seller now. It's just gone downhill. Shame really.
  13. My daughter runs a little 15yr old car as a runabout. I came to move it this morning and when I started it up it was roaring like a dragster. Yep, catalytic converter stolen. Mashed the sill jacking it up and chopped through the exhaust. Why can't these scumbags just get a job and work for a living?

    Log burner

    If you go for a secondhand one get a proprietary brand, you'll find getting spares easier. (Had my secondhand Aarrow for 16 years, gave it a full overhaul last year, new bricks, rope etc)
  15. Many thanks for the replies. A little bit of heat is needed to straighten out the handles and they should fold back correctly.
  16. I picked up some ex-army folding wire cutters at the car boot sale this morning. The ordnance arrow is marked on them, but there are the initials CHP next to the date (1944). Any thoughts on their meaning? Manufacturer? Regiment? Unit? They need a little fettling but I was happy for £2!

    Cruise ships.

    Personally I cant think of anything worse. I'm in my fifties and I still enjoy backpacking around Europe, off the beaten track etc.
  18. My 'go to' weapon for squirrel shooting. Use 3" cartridges, it's a bit fiddly but place two in the magazine hold them in place, put one in the chamber and close the bolt.

    Aberfan

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the money collected by public subscription was withheld by the authorities from the families and was going to be used to stabilise the slag heaps. Allegedly the Free Wales Army got involved and money was forthcoming, a couple of the FWA were presented with engraved wrist watches.
