Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
THIS account of how the infected blood scandal affected just one mother got my attention. How can politicians and lawyers string this matter out to the extent that people are dying before getting any compensation? Euan McDougall was just 16 when he died from Aids in 1994 after being infected with H...

Re: Miscellaneous DIY Projects (or bits of jobs)
My neighbour Ian made me a new back gate from scratch as the old one was rotten as a pear. He used hardwood but it must have been kiln dried as it warped over the winter. I need to do a bit of work on the latch as soon as the Wobbler panic is finished in the shed.....
Gate look good Ian!
