  1. Didn't like Judy Teen or Mr Soft, but Make me smile (Come up and see me) - a classic with Jim Cregan's guitar solo. His Phantom of the Opera songs were way better than I ever thought he could manage. Decent lad and a loss.
  2. If you had requested a Subject Access Request for you details, via Medcert or another firm, they have a month to provide - by law. No hurry up required.
  3. That looks a very nice gun and a genuine bargain.

    Ironically played by Donald Pleasence in "You only live twice".

    Biden has made a career of it.

    Whilst Trump is not squeaky clean, he doesn't go around fondling young girls. That is Biden territory.
  7. Okay if you have a decent dealer. The new guarantee came in a couple of years ago. It's on the Snap On web site.

    Hilarious!

    I seem to recall Abbott being pulled up for a racist remark by Michael Portillo. Hester made a crass remark, but she is just a hypocrite.
  9. We insured grandson's Corsa this afternoon. It went up £50 whilst we were browsing other sites. Paid up before it went through the roof. £700 less than original quotes.
  10. Snap On lifetime warranty applies to the original owner with original receipt. Lifetime guarantee for everyone is one of those urban myths.
  11. Whilst reading another thread about Reform, I noticed a reference to the war in Ukraine. Russia starts a war in Ukraine - obviously Russia is to blame. Few would argue with that. International condemnation of Russia - rightly so. Hamas starts a war with Israel - obviously Hamas to blame. International condemnation of Israel - how does that work?
  12. Correct. I am unclear as to how the solution is within the gift of Israel. How do they get the hostages back? Ask nicely?
  13. If Hamas kills all the hostages, I imagine Israel will seek retribution on a much larger scale than now. If and when the hostages are actually released and tales emerge of their treatment, I suspect Israeli public opinion will harden towards Gaza. Cue more killing. Either way, it is the Palestinians who are prolonging the suffering. I agree that the level of Palestinian deaths is getting disproportionate to the Israeli deaths, but why anyone is putting the blame on Israel is beyond me. All the pressure seems to be aimed at the wrong side.
  14. Double checked his insurance later - had gone up by £150. We had used Compare the Market and Confused.com. Checked Money Supermarket and Go Compare - brought it down - 3 quotes £3050, £3104 and £3301. I had a look at a low mileage Ford Ka - later edition - insurance £2200, but too small for him. he is 6' 4" and still growing, so he bought the Corsa.
  15. Grandson passed his test last week - bought a motor - picking up next Saturday. 1.3 diesel - insurance cost £3874. Nearly as much as buying the car.
  16. Policing does seem to have moved from enforcing the law and actually investigating crimes, to selectively enforcing some laws whilst totaling ignoring others. Protests demos, stop oil etc, seem to be above the law whereas motorists get the full weight. I applaud them taking this particular action. It is effective and catches law breakers. I just wish they would use the same zeal in the rest of their duties. That said, it isn't the lower ranks who decide priorities. I make no apology for saying "Where is the new James Anderton"? The country is crying out for you.
  17. Some people have more than one NI number. The record for one persons runs well into the hundreds.
  18. There heritage is living in Alaska. Indoors would be too warm for them. We always had German Shepherds, but couldn't face getting another. We looked at Alaskan malamutes, but were put off by the barking and mega hard to train. As one breeder said, if you let it off the lead and it will just run and run. We ended up with American Akitas, but Malamutes are good sturdy dogs, although I have seen a number of lightweight awful specimens.
  19. Made me smile. When my wife and I go into our local McDonalds for a coffee - 19 Police personnel is the record. None ever pay for their drinks.

    Portugal

    Went to Albufeira many years ago. I remember it as fairly flat. Loved the place and should have gone back.
  21. Is there a top rib? Length of barrel? Choke? Can't tell what the barrel is like
