KFC

and I do believe they can have several different people all applying for the same property at the same time but, of course, only one tenancy will be granted so they can pocket all the fees from the rest of the applications that are refused, including fees from applicants whom they knew stood no chance anyway. I'd be happy to be proved wrong on that.

I suppose it could make a difference whether it's a gas or intertia action. I've shot a right-handed inertia SA from the left shoulder for years. If in any doubt there would not be any harm in wearing a pair of specs anyway.

Funny old day on a boat at Rutland yeserday. Started off at Old Hall where, two days previously from the bank I had lots of knocks on Nymph but only one hook-up which I lost half way to the net. After a while I landed a Rainbow on a black buzzer and my buddy hooked up but lost it. It went quiet so we moved around without a touch. As the day went on the wind got pretty uncomfortable so we moved into the North Arm and the lee of some trees just west of Carrot Creek. By this time desperation had set in so I put a white cat's whisker on. After a few casts I landed a Brownie, it had taken the lure pretty deep so it was added to the bag. I changed to an Olive Goldhead Hopper #12 and soon had another Rainbow in the bag. Next cast my line stopped solid then the fish bored off down into weed. I managed to get it out but the fish kept boring for the bottom so I had a good idea what it was. After one more wrestle with the fish in weed I finally managed to get it on the surface to reveal what I suspected, a 7lb Pike! That was released easily in the net and then on the very next cast another take that felt like a stocky. Next thing I know the line was shooting off the reel as the fish bored off for a repeat performance of the prevous catch and another 7lb Pike! No, it wasn't the same one. After I had released it I could imagine it having a conversation with the previous Pike saying "Ere, you'll never guess what's just 'appened to me!!!!" and the other Pike replying "Don't tell me, net, boat, weird looking bald-headed geezer?" Life's like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.

Agreed, but we are the ones destabilising the regions, to sell arms and protect the petrodollar, which creates the political vacuum that insurgents can fill using the weapons we have supplied to fight proxy wars. Also, hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children have been killed by Tomahawk missiles and bombing runs. I suspect more than a few of the surviving relatives have sworn revenge.

Just ironic to get killed on a pushbike having raced motorbikes all his life

Sling me in a ditch, let the wildlife get their own back!!

Nicky Hayden has been killed after being hit by a car while he was on a training ride on his pushbike in Italy

Some good ole boys, ta!!

Did Grafham on the bank yesterday. Started on the dam with fish moving all over the place so quite hopeful. Nuffink, nada, zilch except for one little tug on a buzzer and nothing for two other anglers. Went round to Church Hill where it was clagged up with algae and a few minutes with a cats whisker yielded nothing. Walked round to Deep Water Point where it was clear but, again, nothing on buzzer, nymph, Pitsford Pea or cats whisker. Saw one chap catch one from a boat. I blame the EU

S'funny innit? the pro-europeans insisted that we didn't need a referundum on the terms of joining the EU and it was all just a 'tidying up excercise' when we joined but now we've chosen to leave they want a referendum on the terms of the exit.

Having been through a similar experience I strongly recommend getting your own assessor. Our shop got flooded from the flat above which was let to offices but owned by the same landlord. The loss adjuster came in the shop, took one look and said "Oh yes, straightforward claim, that carpet will just stretch back" then gave us his card and left. I said to my wife "Right, we're in trouble, we need an assessor". The assessor, as it happened, used to be a carpet fitter and knew that the carpet had been stretched to its limit to fit it in the first place so would not stretch back. When I told him the adjustors name he did a double take. He said that adjuster was due to move to Dorset the next day which proved to be true. The adjustor refused to answer calls or emails from our assessor and he had to go down to talk to him directly twice. We just got it sorted when a cistern overflowed in the flat above and meant a bit of new carpet and patch of ceiling needed repairing. The adjustor only wanted to offer us £2,700 but after two further offers we finally settled at £17,000. Our business was a book shop and water pouring through the ceiling from above didn't mix. The loss adjuster works for the insurance and it's his job to settle for the least possible. I'm glad I employed an assessor.

I love to see Horse Chestnuts in candle and, for me, it's the sign of summer. Looking at an individual blossom I think it is as beautiful as any Orchid.

Accident claim line. I answered and when she said it was about my road accident I said I was pleased she'd rung because I had indeed had an accident for which I needed compensation. I told her that an Elephant had accidently landed on my car as it came in to land. They're not very helpful though because she rang off so I wouldn't bother with them.

Had a 10.15 appointment for blood test prior to consult with cardiologist, which I'm waiting to hear about, last friday. A chap in front of me booked in and I overheard his appointment for blood test was 10.20. At 10.30 the other chap was called in before me and he left at 10.35. By 10.45 I had to tell the receptionist that I couldn't wait any longer because I had to drive my wife to her work. The other surgery in town is not taking on new patients so I think I'll give it a miss. If I die I die, that's life. I would not be happy to pay extra because I've already paid. It would be paying for political mismanagement anyway and NI will still go to paying off millions in interest for failed PFI at 13-14% instead of 7% at normal government borrowing rates just to keep debt "off-books". I'm sure it will come though because the CONservatives won't want to put up direct tax so they will tax us at the GP's door instead.

Walk up the side of the gorge, opposite Wookey Hole and let me know if you find a blue Nokia 3210 that I lost off my belt clip about 15 years ago please

I voted UKIP and will still vote UKIP because I've never understood the 'tactical vote' idea that I should vote for something I don't want in order to end up with some thing I don't want. I agree that UKIP has foundered and TM has been handed it on a plate but I dread the levels of taxation, direct and indirect, that are going to be imposed after TM gets her landslide to pay for the utter debacle of privatisation that is costing us much than public borrowing would have only to have our infrastructure nationalised by foreign governments so we end up subsidising their infrastructure. http://www.if.org.uk/archives/3453/new-figures-reveal-weight-of-pfi-burden-on-nhs-trusts http://peoplevspfi.org.uk/2016/07/05/the-price-of-pfi-debt-fire-unsafe-hospitals-and-collapsing-schools/ A bit more than just brexit I think http://www.ukip.org/ukip_launch_nhs_policy

The knockout started when AJ got in the uppercut as he broke free from a Klit hug. Well done AJ. The way the Klit has always fought is to lay on top of his opponent and I've always shouted at the telly "take a half-step back and whip in an uppercut"!! Glad to see AJ do it

I guess that Klit will do what he always does. Throw one punch then hug and hold to stop any counter. Alot of money for a hugathon.

Been with EE for Broadband for over a year and mobiles since they merged from Orange/Tmobile. No problems. Sky BB kept dropping out but no problems with EE and UK customer service but I know Norfolk is still in the damp clay and pointy stick age for BB and Mobile so I'm not sure how good they'll be for you.

I lost my first born son to cot death. What made it worse was that I'm clairvoyant and I had a premonition that he was going to die but I still couldn't do anything to prevent it. My parents are long gone, I was involved the aftermath of two air crashes from the squadron I was on. I was involved in an earthquake that killed 82,000 in Peru in 1970. Two ways I now look at it. A caterpillar becomes a butterfly. I don't know if a caterpillar knows it will become a butterfly or if a butterfly remembers being a caterpillar but I know we look forward to the transformation. When I'm listening to Radio 2 I know that Radio 1 is transmitting but I can't hear it because I'm not tuned into it. I can retune my radio and I can retune my mind. I believe that life happens at all different frequencies all around us. I have and do suffer PTSD but I now treat death as a homecoming and no longer suffer the pain of loss. I think bereavement goes through distinct stages. At first the loss doesn't register then, when it does, it's like being a one-legged man in a bum kicking contest. Numb and useless. After that comes anger. Why, why, why. Then comes acceptance and then finally a moving on but never forgetting. All of these stages take a different amount of time for everyone and it is possible to get stuck in any one of these stages and I think bereavement counselling can be a valuable tool to use regardless of the circumstances.

She's put the cat among the pigeons. Listening to JV at lunchtime there was quite a few so called Labour 'supporters' who said they were going to vote for the LibDems to get rid of Jeremy Corbyn Going to be a strange old do with lots of people voting for people they don't want which will guarantee that they'll get what they don't want. Along with wee Krankie's mates jumping ship then TM's laughing all the way to a big majority. politics is a funny ole game

It was a simple question, remain or leave. The majority of people who did vote voted to leave. Not difficult to understand, and that was the majority of the United Kingdom not this bit or that. A referendum directly asks the population what they want regardless of what MP's may decide. That is the whole point of a referendum. There is nothing disingenius about it at all. The majority of people who voted voted to leave. +1 for get over it. P.S at least we've been given a vote. We were never given a vote about whether we wanted to join in the first place.

I know, sorry, I was talking about the hundreds of thousands who have been killed since Dubya and Bliar launched their shock and awe campaign to make us all feel safer.

I believe it is more to do with geography and it's worth looking at an atlas. There is a massive NATO excercise going on in eastern Europe. Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq are destabilised. US ships are in the Black Sea, Straits of Malacca and South China Sea and also in Japan. The US is always carrying out excercises supposedly in support of South Korea. China has to ship its oil through the Straits of Malacca and South China Sea. Russia has to maintain its access to the Black Sea through Crimea because that is the only southern access to the Mediterranean. Looking at each individual conflict it doesn't look like much but joining them all up then the US has created a buffer zone between Russia, China and Saudi Arabian oil. US policy down the years has been to push other countries into taking defensive action that has then been termed 'aggression' and given the US the excuse it was after for taking military action. Either that or funding proxy wars that then turn into insurgencies that they were supposedly trying to prevent and instead create political vacuums that turn into breeding grounds for terrorism. The questions I ask are, how come there has only ever been one 9/11? How many countries have Russia invaded? How many countries have China invaded? How many countries have the US invaded? How often do we get told that actions are being taken in response to other countries 'aggression' when, in fact they are just trying to defend themselves. What's the difference between a chemical attack and hundreds of thousands of civilians being killed by Tomahawk missiles, Hellfire missiles and Reaper drones? We're forever told that Russian aggression and Putin are our real enemy but I'm not so sure.
