  1. It's 20.11 as I post this.... They're still there!
  2. The more laws and order are made prominent, The more thieves and robbers there will be. Lao-tzu, The Way of Lao-tzu Chinese philosopher (604 BC - 531 BC) This guy knew a thing or two 2500 yeasr ago! It seems to me that 'Blairs Britain' bought in so much legislation when he was in power that he'd have us all walking around in bubble wrap! Now parents are ordering kevlar school blazers from a company that makes slash proof hoodies. I'm sorry but the problem to me seems to be lack of policing on our streets, to much red tape when caught, too light sentences when finally found guilty, and too many law breakers hiding behind 'human rights'! And to this the single parent that gets looked after from my taxes for the rest of their life, and has no pride in wanting to work for a living (whats the point - I can get more on the dole), and passing this culture onto their offspring....... We've made our beds, ladies and gentlemen. now we have to sleep in them!
  3. That's just under 10 jars a penny; that's inflation for you!
  4. There was a bakers on the corner of my road, E Mays & sons. For tuppence you could go and get a bag of broken biscuits; they really were broken and they were the best tasting biscuits I've ever had! Why should a bag of mixed up, broken bourbon creams, custard creams, choccy digestives, etc, taste better than the 'prim and proper packets' we have now? NO idea whatsoever!
  5. Ah! Human rights and political correctness. Spare the rod and spoil the child, that's what my grandad used to say. Nowdays, if little Johny's good we can give him sweeties, but if he's bad we must sit him down like a little gerbil and say "baaaad Johnny". Well, that certainly worked didn't it; now kids have got a definate division between right and wrong, and know the consequences thereof; nothing! Personally, where did it all go wrong? Well we should never have climbed out of the trees! But then some monkeys still haven't..... And he's in charge of the United States! Urgh! Ooomph. Someones just knocked me off my soapbox! Amongst my music I used to like disco, and surprisingly, rock (all sorts, really). I listen to the heavy thrash metal now, and the rapping bass garage stuff, and understand what my parents went through! I built my kids a go-kart with a plank of wood and old pram wheels, a snow sleigh out of a wooden pallet (the metal tie down strips really made that thing go!). I wonder if they'll look back and say "them were the good ol' days"?
  6. Aye, we were 'appy in those days. Even though we were poor..... Because we were poor.... etc, etc But you tell the kids that nowdays.... Brought back some memories for me also!
  7. I was a bit too young to appreciate it, but my dad loved it. I, of course, used to watch Thunderbirds after!
  8. I'm not in Norfolk, but just thought I'd say hi and welcome to the madhouse!
  9. I believe it's your sense of parenting. As has been said somewhere else, leaving your children in familiar surroundings with neighbourhood watch schemes, etc, would be bad enough. So to do it on holiday....? Do we really need laws for good parenting? We live in the real world where peado's, burglers, etc. live. Do we need to be told to keep an eye on our children, or leave them with someone trusted or in authority? After Jamie Bulger, a lot of those wrist straps were sold; experience is a harsh teacher, I've heard it said. But I've had four children, the eldest is nearly 21 and has his own family, my youngest is just 6, with two other daughters in between. Whenever I've been shopping they've always held onto my hand, or I've carried them or sat them on my shoulders. If they wanted to run ahead, I always set a distance/boundry, one that I could easily get to (10yds?) and never let them out of my sight. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I don't want to end up in the situation of either of the above parents..... and do what I can to prevent it.
  10. Refer to sec 2 of the Firearms Handbook... http://police.homeoffice.gov.uk/news-and-p...pdf?view=Binary At the end of the day, the cabinet should be fixed securely such that it is as difficult as possible to remove. Even one fixed to a brick wall could conceivably be pulled off - mine would pull quite a bit of the wall with it, but they'd make a hell of a mess to the cabinet as well so not worth it in the end. I have heard of cabinets being laid on the floor (rather than stood up as usual) and coach bolted to the joists - the back of the cabinet may require additional holes drilled to line up with the joists. But at the end of the day if it's secure enough that you and your dad can't pull it off, and it's out of site of the casual observer, I can't see a problem. Maybe cut out the bottom of a wardrobe and bolt it to the joists? Have you consulted your FEO? It's hard sitting on the end of a keyboard trying to visualise your home. Good luck.
  11. Couldn't you get a full refund?
  12. It's not the gell I have troubles with. Anyway, like some others I use the old soap and brush method, but after all the cuts I used to get, a friend at work suggested swapping the broken glass for a razor!
  13. Have you tried it on your nads!! I have and it were beautiful & my boyfriend likes it to! :thumbs: It gets itchy when they grow back - shove some talcum down yer boxers!

  15. A few hundred years ago the language of that continent may have been Blackfoot, Souix, Cherokee, etc. That was probably their native tongue for thousands of years before English. White man came across the sea He brought us pain and misery He killed our tribes, he killed our creed He took our game for his own need We fought him hard we fought him well Out on the plains we gave him hell But many came too much for cree Oh will we ever be set free?
