Don't confuse this with Secretary and sit down to watch it with the kids and granny! :D

Given you have my favourite western as the 2nd best I'm going to have to look out for Tombstone. Agree on The Commitments as well. Fantastic musical film. I'm going to offer two suggestions. Kodachrome. Green Book. Both good stories, quite emotional, great casts and very nicely done. Both...

Seems I'm the same as a few others. Very sceptical, but have done it myself and it has worked. Never had it demonstrated but tried it myself in my engineering workshop with a pair of bent welding rods. Even used two empty biro cases to try and stop subconscious influence. I have no idea how it...

The BBC has its own biases. Of course, so do I! It's always good to cross check news stories even when coming from 'reputable' sources. One thing I will say for the BBC is they rarely publish direct falsehoods, unlike the billionaire owned press, but most stories do have an editorial slant.

Just had this pop up on social media and it reminded me of this thread.

Lovely. Always fancied one of these but fear for me it would be too nice to use!

* My Bold. Says it all really. The modern way seems to be as soon as anything is worth something, and they have the chance, private equity will buy it up and gouge it out and leave a hollowed out corpse in its wake.

Not sure if I am misunderstanding the brief, but how about Fridge Raiders? https://fridgeraiders.co.uk/

I'm a big fan of these guys. https://thebritishblanketcompany.com/ Not cheap but they have a wide variety of sizes, colours, weaves etc and it's supporting a British company. We currently have 3 of their blankets and also 3 of their scarves. As the old saying goes, you'll love the quality long...

Is it possible that it is the amount of sap taken that is causing the issue rather than the method of plugging?

I read that thread with great interest and admired the tenacity of the OP.

The line 'lawfully on any premises' is one that stands out to me. If the Police ever ask to enter your house and you have (currently legal to own) knives tell them no.

This is a known phenomenon. The advice generally given to cyclists is to use both a flashing and steady on light for the exact reasons you mention.

The one I immediately thought of as soon as I read the title was Stracathro Services, just a bit further up the road from the one you mention. Again always popular with truckers.

My understanding is that the primary benefit of hard anodising is that there will not be any aluminium 'leaching'* into the water and thus into your body while you enjoy your brew, or indeed tainting the taste with metallic elements. This is another benefit to stainless steel construction. I...

I do love a Buck 100 series. Why did you decide to go for the Hunter this time over a new Ranger?

Instruments I have played at varying levels of proficiency over the years: Bagpipes, Trumpet, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Synthesizer, Harmonica, Tin Whistle. The only one I was ever really good at was the bagpipes, but that was mostly down to the 10,000 hours thing. I practised them a lot for a...

Some might say a certain Mr Lawson caused a lot of damage, but they might be straying into politics if they did, which of course is not appropriate on this forum. :whistle:

Funny how things come across online when you don't have the benefit of facial expressions/body language etc. I wasn't scolding, but did think you were making light of it! :D
