Well, to state the obvious, before anyone else does... "I'm serious as cancer, when I say rhythm is a dancer"

A kebab, Lou? Isn't that a posh meat and salad sandwich?? :))

"Sometimes I can sit and cry my heart out, drowning in my autocratic ways"

Doing their normal Brexit policy - trying to be all things to everybody and balancing precariously on the fence. But, in effect, having no policy whatsoever.

Ring them up, tell them you are unhappy about the cost, vaguely mention BT and you will end up paying less than you are now. They don't even put up a fight. I think they work on the fact that a vast majority don't complain and just pay up.

I suspect there is more a problem with the accompanying text. Can you post that, without the pic?

If that's doesn't talk to it, you can assume the drive is shot.

Back in the mid-70s, Australia had a 'metric day' when, not only did the metric system become the standard, but selling tape measures, scales, etc in imperial was not allowed. My father held onto his old ones for a while, but even he converted over within a short time. Coming over to the UK, I found myself converting from metric for a while, but I'm now pretty happy in both systems. Though I still find dividing stuff by 16, 14, 8, etc pretty frustrating, even if it is useful for keeping my mental arithmetic up to speed. I'm just glad I never had to do physics with the imperial system.

What are the odds on a second term? The way the US is ripping itself apart at the moment, I wouldn't write it off as a possibility.

You may be right about the insurers liability, RH, but does that actually mean the driver themselves are not responsible for the damage? Might it be worth considering suing the driver?

David Davis today: "Brexit is going 'incredibly well'" I'd hate to see what 'incredibly slowly, badly and made up as we go along' looks like, then.

I cook most nights and we use 2 a week, tops.

Looks like Brexit means ... oh, who knows? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-40922177
