Two flying cars have collided during an air show rehearsal in China designed as a showcase for the technology. After the mid-air crash, one of the vehicles fell to the ground and caught fire on impact, with reports that a pilot was injured. Footage circulating on Chinese state-run media showed the t...

It strikes me that the Labour party must have done b*gger all preparation for getting into power. It is basic stuff that they are getting wholly wrong (beside their ideology) and all of that makes me think that they thought nothing through as far as what the consequences were. After so many years of...

Charles et al can all breathe a sigh of relief, the pomp and circumstance all went down well. We practice it rather than winging it so the result was as it should be for any foreign dignatory.

Come on Starmer, your turn........

Toad in the hole for us, the weather gave us the appetite for comfort food. The yorkshire didn't rise as much as wanted, the temperatures and timing were all out so I rather expected that. We had a rather nice onion gravy with it which made up for the flat yorkshire.

Jane Brotherton, married the son of Richard Slater (above) and is therefore my great great grandma.

I'm pleased that he is being kept away from the public. It does Charles no favours for Trump to refer to him as a friend.

I lost my clutch at a barriered and signalled railway crossing, only realising it when the barriers went up and I stayed stationary. I had just passed my test and didn't have a clue what to do apart from repeat each action in the same order as I had been taught. I had a truck driver behind me, who r...

Many a true word said in jest!

It's chucking it down here as well, and if the forecast is to be believed it will be until 18.00 tonight or so. I've cleaned the bathroom, as per the rota, where does all the dog hair come from. By reason he should be bald with all the hair he loses! Steve however, never seemed to shed much in the b...

There are plenty of industrial vacancies in Norfolk that need filling.

After we moved "down south", "vainites" was the word we use for submission, we also crossed fingers on both hands. I looked it up, it has a long history.

I started to sort out the jewellery yesterday morning. It sounds like a wonderful task except that I had inherited a small jewellery mine when mother died. Mostly I sold it unchecked. There was just so much of it that I was overwhelmed, but I managed to gather wedding rings and the like. I also had ...

We had a lady at work, many moons ago, who deserved the title Mrs. Malaprop! She had a terrible pain down her face and said she was coming down with nostalgia. Pain ain't what it used to be.

I find it hard to believe that they have been in power for over a year now. I know that they have changed some things and they are measuring those with whatever metric they find useful, but I don't see much improvement in things that affect average people. That is no reason though for the frightful ...

Today, Monday, is living room and dining room - according to my schedule. I always had 2 lists at work, one for scheduled tasks and one for other stuff which I sorted into 4 sections: important / not important and urgent and not urgent. I've just found out this is the Eisenhower matrix. It served my...

Hi Sue, the photo doesn't do justice to the colour, mine is a little more red than shown.

We had Chinese take-away but from a different establishment. We turned up to our normal one only to find it closed, I imagine from the notice on the door that a family holiday is being had. We drove off to a different place that we knew of and it was, of course, okay. You do get used to one style of...

It did cause his death unfortunately. It just goes to show that an overlooker shouldn't look over!

On the same topic as above, at a press conference Trump was asked how he was feeling after the last 2 1/2 days, obviously a questions about emotions. He could have been forthright and said he was upset on a personal level, he could have said that whilst he was upset, he was hoping that the guy's fam...

I couldn't agree more with the posts above this one. Starmer is a massive disappointment, they had a great majority and have seemingly squandered it on nothing. I know things were probably worse than they expected when they got into power, but anyone with half an ounce of common sense should have re...

Hi Sue, Mine is the one on the left. I take great joy in photographing orange minis! Little things for little minds!

Making puff pastry is a lot of effort for a small result. Shop bought puff pastry saves all the effort so that I can do better things with my life, not sure what that entails yet though.

The year is 1926, this is my Great Great Grandad Richard Slater. If ever there was a need to justify health and safety at work, this story should be used. Obviously he was used to what he was doing and no doubt the surrounding noise didn't help.

Home made sausage rolls using pork mince, onions, garlic and bacon etc. from Tesco, not sausage meat. The thing that makes them special is Tarragon. Confession, I'm using shop bought puff pastry these days, no more rolling out for me.
