39TDS

Mine is £300 a month. I think that is just nuts but there you go. I get my bin emptied once a fortnight, no street lights, no bus within 2-3 miles, roads full of potholes, etc etc. Can't say I would move just to get it cheaper though. Rural 3 bed detached, not exactly a mansion.

I agree and also concluded it was an attempt to hide the fact they had run out anyway and may as well shift the blame elsewhere.

I'm 57, booked in for my second dose of AZ jab on 4th May and I will be there. It hasn't put me off at all. Just puzzled why from the evidence so far presented why any of the vaccinations have been halted. Don't the stats say you would expect more people with blood clots if they hadn't been vaccinated?

no

Yep, needs to be 110% at the very least

China, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand

"In like a lion, out like a lamb." Generally speaking the reverse is also true and this year March has definitely come in like a lamb.

I have friends with very valuable classic cars and they generally agree Lanoguard is best. Look it up, I haven't used it but do intend to.

NHS sending Covid positive pensioners home to care homes disgusts me. It was still happening prior to the jab roll out. My missus works in a retirement complex and they have managed to be entirely Covid free apart from the few positive cases that the NHS insisted on sending there.

Ahole next door has been repeatedly revving the nuts off his very loud bike for no reason if that counts. Was very tempted to let him hear my very loud chainsaw at 7am.

A sad story, thinking of you

As many cabbages as I can eat

They go black very quick when it is cold, that's why you shouldn't store them in the fridge and be careful what you pack them next to at the supermarket. Do not put them in the same carrier bag as frozen stuff or even refrigerated stuff such as milk, butter etc. The recent weather has been a bit of a nightmare especially when you live in a tin hut like I do.

Astra z jab gave me a 3 day priapism. Not really, just thought it would amuse someone when they looked it up and future Google research would find this post. No side effects at all really, missus claimed she felt knocked about for a few days but I think that was probably needle phobia.

The letters they send are all quite horrible, no other company I know of sends such awful stuff through the post.

I thought he wanted to go. Wish my kids would take me.

I would feel the same, it was bad enough when I forgot my dentist appointment this week! I never want to put anybody else out in the slightest. I don't really see what covid has to do with it though. I understand they weren't supposed to be up there during lockdown but what difference does that make? If there wasn't lockdown in place and the same thing happened it would be OK? Of course not. Hats off to all those that volunteer for such things, they are braver than me.

Someone in the local pub roasted one years ago, must have been too drunk because I don't remember how it tasted. Had rook pie in same pub, that was nice enough but more gravy than meat as I recall. Recipe and method plays a big part, my missus could ruin the finest cut of any animal.

Local market had many a skinned cat hung and sold as rabbit in WW2.

Mass hysteria imo. If you ever ask the people spouting about it most if they actually know anybody that has had a dog stolen they don't. Fake news, fear spreading nonsense pedalled on facebook. It surprises me how many seemingly sensible people are repeatedly willing to believe this stuff. Yes dogs get stolen but not on the scale these people would have you believe. All the cable ties left over from long since perished posters in the street have suddenly become secret signs. Some of them I am convinced put the zip ties there themselves and have forgotten they did.

"Legover" Uncle used to drink rum and pep regularly, bit of a blast from the past (so is Babycham for that matter)

I have heard of a few folk being bitten in UK. Makes no difference as I wouldn't want them on me anyway, nowt to do with biting. I also have a fear of heights, I think it is incredibly sensible because you would be seriously hurt from a fall.

Daughter in law has a Freelander only used for school runs. Completely trashed!!

I don't think it's a simple with a true phobia. I don't like spiders much (used to be absolutely terrified) but I know very well they won't hurt in the UK. Been to Australia many times, spiders out there are even more horrific in size and poisonousness, doesn't mean I now like UK ones. I am not as bothered about spiders as when I was a kid but still wouldn't want one on me. I just don't freak out if I see one any more. Snakes don't bother me but I'm not going to pick one up without knowing it isn't poisonous.

I can't decide if eating one or squeezing a dead one to see what comes is worse
