I've used AVG for years (the free version) and am very happy with it. Tried Norton once and had nothing but problems - it slowed my PC practically to a standstill.

A properly qualified osteopath does years of training, including - obviously - anatomy and physiology. Can't comment on massage therapists, but presumably you would not be looking to have massage for something like this?

Here Comes The Night - Them

Have you reported it to the police? Somebody may have reported it missing?

You are lucky, only time I have seen those was when I lived in Sussex.

I just got my January edition this morning :)

Every Indian restaurant does stuff like aloo gobi :))

You could always phone one of the numbers stored in it and then ask them whose phone it is when the name comes up at their end .....

Get a second opinion from another GP would be my advice, if you were told it would go in 3 weeks and you're still in pain after 4 months.

Down the Dustpipe - Status Quo

Got mine on my sixtieth birthday. I think at present it is sixty five for men but not sure. I think you also get one if you are claiming disability benefit.

I Love my Dog - Cat Stevens

Walkie talkie for under a fiver and National Geographic/National Trust childrens' gifts for very little were bargains in my view, especially at three for two, for grandchildren/nephews/nieces birthdays during the year plus next Christmas. I'd have had to have spent money at some point anyway, just over a longer period. But would have been a lot more because the things I bought in Sainsbury's yesterday were so cheap.

If it was even half as good as Ganapati it would still be better than the rest of the Indian restaurants on Lordship Lane ....

I only got mine in July! Seems a bit of a waste of admin time.

Time after Time - Cyndi Lauper

Touches a nerve in you, charliecharlie, I suspect. Something you don't want to look at in yourself? I think Kate Bush is fine - original. Good for her.

It was bloody manic around 4pm, place was rammed as was carpark. However, didn't have to queue long. Sadly spent far too much - only went in for some flowers and a bottle of brandy for my stepmother, ended up with a trolley full of reduced/three for two toys etc, however seem to have stocked up for next Christmas :))

But Indian food isn't all about "curries", is surely the point??

Stay - The Hollies

Adult vine weevils are horrid pointy-headed beetles, a sort of dark browny-grey colour. They are very hard to kill, usually I wrap them up in a tissue and put them down the loo. They don't do the damage, apart from chewing the edges of leaves (distinctive little rectangular bites) but they lay the eggs which turn into the grubs. The grubs are disgusting, small and white with light brown heads. They hide in the compost, so you would only see them if you were actually looking for them. Nurseries will use a chemical to put in the compost when growing cyclamen etc to ensure that their stock doesn't get decimated by vine weevil, but I don't think it is available to "ordinary" people. In any case it's not a nice chemical. You can buy nematodes (parasite thingies) which will kill the grubs, but they are expensive and I'm not sure they work in the Winter. I have cyclamen in my window boxes, am just resigned to the fact that they will probably succumb at some point, and not only that, I'll have to renew all the compost.

I didn't know these had to be renewed? Thought I had mine for life :)) Edited to add: I read all the info thoroughly and I don't recall anything about having to renew it annually, especially within such a limited timescale?

Also you have a record of exactly what was said should you need it in the future. Bic, Parcelforce is part of the Post Office, but is nothing to do with Royal Mail, they became separate businesses around 1986/7 ish (AAARRGGHH), at the same time as the counter business also split off.

Can't believe it, have just been briefly out, came back to ANOTHER packet on the doorstep, also Royal Mail delivered. I am still waiting for a packet which is for a Christmas pressie which was posted last week, and now suspect that too was left on the doorstep - and nicked :-S Another stiff complaint to Royal Mail about to be made (6)
