Cyclamen are prone to attack by vine weevil grubs, did you look to see if there were any roots left? Edited to add: Usually with vine weevil, the plants look fine then suddenly collapse, usually you then think they must be short of water, but watering them has no effect. What happens is they manage for a while whilst the grubs muunch the roots, but then there comes a point where there aren't sufficient roots left for the plant to take up water, and by then - too late.

It's not actually "full of adverts". Obviously it has some adverts, otherwise how could it be distributed free? Are you sure you're talking about the same magazine, Tarot?

Well, you can complain HERE and they say they will let you have a response. Useless just saying you're not happy on a forum :))

I have just made the following complaint to Royal Mail via their customer services website: I was away at the weekend. I came home late last night (20 December) to find a Royal Mail delivered packet on my doorstep in full view of - and within easy reach of - passers by. I live in a terraced house with no front garden. Today I have been in all day. I had some post delivered this afternoon, which was put through my letter box and which I retrieved immediately it was delivered. I have just opened my front door (6pm) to find another Royal Mail delivered packet sitting on my doorstep, again in full view of passers by. This is appalling. I have no way of knowing what else may have been left outside my house, and which may have been taken. Why did the postperson today not even bother ringing the bell? Why was a "sorry you were out" card not left yesterday (or Saturday, whenever the first packet was left) and the packet returned to the delivery office? I realise you use casuals over Christmas, but surely you give them some elementary instruction? Surely you vet them for elementary common sense? There have been a number of issues with the post in the East Dulwich area, and I know that our MP has contacted the local delivery office. I will also be letting her know about this, but meantime I would like to know what you intend to do to prevent this happening again, either to me or to my neighbours. Thanks. Sue (Surname)

Steady Eddy, can you please take your personal issues with James Barber somewhere else? I for one am not interested and it's not what this thread is about. Thanks.

Thanks so much for achieving in a day what I couldn't do in over a year - someone has come and put a notice on "my" tree stump asking people not to park there tomorrow due to "tree work". I thought the handwritten "Merry Christmas" under the bit saying they would be towed away if they did was a nice seasonal touch :))

Link to the royal visit to the Bridge Inn

To the best of my knowledge, the only pub Her Maj has ever frequented (once) is the Bridge Inn in Topsham, near Exeter, where I believe she had a sherry. I only know that because it used to be my local, and after I left Topsham, someone sent me a cutting from the local paper showing Liz at the (tiny) bar :)) I believe she was there because it's the oldest blah blah blah :)-D

And me, can't play it in the car when I'm driving :-$

I was very grateful to the osteopath who put me right when I put my back out, but would have been even more grateful if I hadn't had to pay for it - didn't even know it WAS available on the NHS!

OK it falls to pieces a bit at the end, and Bert Jansch did a great version, but hey this guy wrote it .... Blues Run the Game - Jackson C Frank

Sha La La La Lee - Small Faces

I did eventually see it via Bony's link, bit bemused, seemed to be the same shots over and over again .......

Seems to be thriving to me ....

Oh dear, too early for baby ducks, isn't it? Will it survive?

And then there was Mr Hanky the Christmas Poo from South Park ...... Mr Hanky the Christmas Poo song

Nah, it's not Gordon Bennett, he's only got one face

I recently went to my school class reunion (all 60 this year) and actually yes, it might be an age thing. We all had memory probs etc which we didn't have when we were younger. But - so what? What about concentrating on the positive things you bring to your work? Personally I just say upfront that I've got a memory like a sieve these days, and make loads of lists.

Wall of Death - Richard and Linda Thompson

When I searched for "English Traditional Folk" on Spotify, I had a message " Do you mean English Traditional Fork." :))
