  1. Reasons schmeasons


    I don't hold any truck with most class based waffle on here but I would stake my life on the following


    If this hospital was in well heeled Tory heartland it would not be closed


    Even if all same logic and reasons applied


    It just wouldn't be


    I can hear some people splutter already. Save it. THAT hospital wouldn't be closed


    No


    It


    Wouldn't


    But you know... What's the worst that can happen to the people closing this hospital

  2. 2 women of my acquaintance described an evening dancing in The Hamlets (might have turned into the Vale by then actually) and were invited back to the International Cocktail Lounge on LL (now Hisar)


    back room

    2 am

    they were the only women there...

  3. It's always instructive when one reads a post like this, to cast an eye over the posting history of the OP


    What a friend of humanity TT is. I especially like the call back in 2011 when they told someone to "get a life"


    wise words TT, wise words

  4. Otta. I worship at the altar of GG daily anyway. I hope I'm in credit


    Steveo. If it happens Ill be amazed if I get A ticket but will let you know. Suspect demand will make the kraftwerk fiasco look like German efficiency

  5. I think people have posted links to this site before - certainly some heated (I know, right!?) debate has taken place around what constitutes hygenic


    Tasty and great food can and often is prepared in pretty ropey conditions


    Appalling bland and dull food is often dished up by box-ticking merchants


    Now I don?t really want rats looking over the chef?s shoulder as he or she cooks the food he or she has just rescued from their lair ? but given the choice of tasty good food from potentially queasy kitchen surroundings over dull food which is all but guaranteed to be safe I?m always going to go with the former

  6. I spoke with Ben at the nursery Christmas Party ? his boy and my little one were part of a small gang playing at the end of the hall


    I knew about his situation when I was talking to him but didn?t feel it was the right place to bring it up ? besides I figured he has that same conversation dozens of times every day


    But he impressed me enormously - he would have anyway without the incident, he just is that kind of cool guy.


    Reading his blog subsequently, and the big article in last Saturday?s Guardian is both heartbreaking and heartwarming

  7. Having looked at various Sonos configurations I decided against that option as I had a few outdated amps already in the house so I've gone with Airport Express at a fraction of the price


    no ipod dock, no cables - so now I can just fling music from phone/tablet/pc to whichever set of speakers in the house I want


    I recommend them


    Sound quality dependant on source rips of course but whilst I take everyone's comments about "quality" seriously, ultimately I rarely, if ever, sit down and say "now I shall listen to The North Sea Scrolls as intended!"


    What happens is, I have music playing in the house with people, cooking and chores all happening at once. I get plenty good quality and volume for that. I still read up on what would make it "better" but it's wasted money on me really
