With pump prices dropping what are the chances of domestic gas and electricity prices dropping. Very little appears to be the answer. Up like a rocket down like a feather. What are the excuses. Below a sample of reasons. .. He added: “Even then, the oil price drop will only work its way through the ...

Boris in intensive care (critical care), brings home how serious this infection is. He always looked a strong and healthy sort of person who would shake off this condition in quick time. I hope he pulls through without any after effects. His condition certainly made me think about taking more string...

social distancing at it's best..

Some day I may see our house on your photos.

Coronavirus 'game changer' testing kits could be unreliable, UK scientists say' LINK I think it was on OG (actually Tizer) who said they may only be 75% reliable. thinking about this and getting more confused the more I thought about it, nothing new there, taking 16 people under test, 4 would be in...

A bit of destructive heavy gardening in yesterday's sunshine. A lonesome pine slightly in the way of a good view but had been planted directly above the electricity lines to both our and our neighbours houses. Our neighbour's tidying of his stretch had brought the cables to the surface meaning they ...

I agree, what's it all about. ??
Ps. my apologies to Mrs BigKev for the blond joke.

I've been trying my best to find jokes just to give us something to smile about when up pops a news article about councils digging extra graves to keep in front of demand. graves Nothing special about this you may say but more down to earth for us when we heard the nephew had been selected to a spec...

Back to masks. Any single ply of woven fabric will have 'holes' in them that a virus of nano particle size will just fly through as though it didn't exist. The filters in aircraft are a pad of material much like a bundle of wire wool between fabric sides. The idea is that although there is a way thr...

Lovely sketch. very sentimental. I could be pedantic about the number of moons on Saturn or the planets in the solar system but I won't comment. But I have. Have I? Well forget it. Pretend I haven't.

Banks and the stock market are just another form of gambling but I never thought that we would be running a virtual Grand National horse race. Grand National. Complete with a list of runners and riders a computer simulation to find the winner. If there's money involved I can tell you now who the win...

Mrs P got the 'garden' one from our next door neighbour. She replied that I was taking a tree out at the bottom of the garden, roots and all, and it would leave a big hole. To which the reply was. 'Good I'll know where to look". Sounded like she had a plan for her own hubby. I think I'll leave the t...

These kids know a thing or two. Rainbow moonstone is thought to bring balance, harmony and hope while enhancing creativity, compassion, endurance and inner confidence. Rainbow moonstone is believed to help strengthen intuition and psychic perception, especially offering us visions of things that are...

Stanley, I think you know the best way of helping yourself and helping the NHS is not to catch the bloody virus. Its people who carry the virus so keep away from them. You have already said that neighbours have offered assistance so take them up on it. I agree 'official' help can be a nuisance and c...

I gave up trying to edge it with the spade, far too tough and strenuous.

Have you tried one of the rounded edging spades. these make life a lot easier where you can overlap the cuts taking advantage of the previous cut. If you have a lot of lawn they are well worth the investment.

Both Gloria and BigKev are on turbo charge Lots of images on google First went to the Medievil Banquet Banquet years ago. My pal and his wife were promoted to Lord and Lady. A big mistake on their part, a raving dipsomaniac with a throat like a sink. Must have cost them a fortune for the free booze.

Ex smokers are the worst preachers. Those who have never smoked just shake their heads and leave it at that.

I did read that lungs tend to start repairing the damage after about 4 years of stopping smoking. All is not lost.

No but you're getting the right idea. Think french. and where did Tripps go last year for another preceding word.

Everything prepared for the pensioners shopping hour. Out to the car and guess what? battery (2 off) down on on juice. Car failed to start. Charger coupled up and waiting to see what happens. Probably down to minimal running, 5 mins and less per start over three weeks is the most likely cause. But, ...

Grandma Joke. After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin. Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room...

A mechanical type of clue. There is a water turbine of the same name but presented in the french manner.
