  1. Quite right, the media always print anything that suits their own political agenda. Reminds me of your Guardian post last night!!!
  2. Very, very sad news. RIP Dave.
  3. I take half a cetirizine every day. Just bite in half. If I don't take it, I itch all over like hell. Doctor did blood tests and were all normal. Loratadine of no use at all. I don't really like taking them all the time, but have no choice. Buy the cheap version's not branded. Save a small fortune, and probably made in the same factory.
  4. Don't worry Mick, it's not going to happen. At least in the near future.
  5. In the modern ere, what would happen if everyone was allowed to vote on the major issues which affect us? What I mean is, why can't there be numerous referendums each year, from how the budget is spent, to the number of police on duty, to the pension of public sector workers, to the amount of foreign aid. If you can vote for strictly come dancing, then surely, with a unique number such as your NI number, you could adapt this type of voting system to suit. Would this be the most democratic system in the world, or a recipe for disaster? Just wondering?
  6. Good results from lloyds today. Hope they keep it up, and the share price goes up.
  7. A pledge to be honest to themselves and those who elected them. That's never going to happen though. So i'd have to go with making a clean break from the EU. Or as I like and many others like to say: FU EU
  8. Keep meaning to get the detector out sometime. Really interesting hobby. Found a few hammered silver coins but no gold yet.
  9. I'm in a similar position myself. Got my son starting an apprentaship with me in early summer. Doing it through Myerscough College. Haven't talked about money yet, but I'd rather pay him a bit more as he's my son than pay it in tax. From your own perspective, I'd see how he goes on. If he's on time, hard working and willing to Learn, then perhaps he deserves a bit more than minimum wage.
  10. having a bit of a problem with invoices appearing twice in sage account.any help appreciated
  11. I put it on mixed with water through knapsack sprayer
  12. Agreed. I think that's what most people buy it for nowadays.
  13. "The Duke" usually wins in the end
  14. Think she would have relished dealing with the EU buerocrats and getting us out of the EU. Personally think that one of her governments biggest mistake was selling off council homes.
  15. Haha, very good. I think a lot of people can relate to that. Hope he makes a full recovery.
  16. Sounds like a great contingency plan. We went to Caribbean, and on the first day found my young lad had nits. So a trip to doctor was needed for some nit treatment. Next day he got lost on the ship, and the following day cut his leg when a plate was dropped on his foot. So, another trip to the doctor, and another bill. Apart from that, was a brilliant trip, would recommend cruising to anyone, if your healthy!!!!
  17. Have you ever been to a doctor on a cruise ship? Took the wife and kids years ago. Had to visit the ship doctor twice with the kids. Wow, they know how to charge.
  18. Good post. Also, if your self employed or run your own business (company director), then a pension can be very good at reducing your tax. Can't see anything wrong in putting £8 into a pension and it instantly turns into £10. I run my own personal pension as a SIPP, where you can invest your pension in funds, individual shares, even commercial property.
  19. I ONCE bought a cheap Chinese pole saw. Chain oil leak from new. Very cheap chain oiling system. Never did work right. Impossible to extend reach, as pole extension had seized. No switch decal saying which was off and which was on. What I presumed to be on, was off. Supplier was very offensive when I complained. Would I buy another - NO.
  20. It's no nightmare, Can't wait till we finally leave. Might even throw a party. And it looks like Scotland's leaving the EU whichever way they vote if they have their second, once in a generation referendum.

  22. Yes, I know exactly what you mean. But, it made me feel better
