You appeared to be claiming such not so long ago. My bad.

Thanks for the posts. The OH did get her test there today. However I was sure I'd read somewhere on the forum that it wasn't doing them anymore. Good to have somewhere so convenient.

Eh.....how do you know? If people at one won point quite reasonably assumed the Earth was flat, the liklihood is you would have been one of them. And it seems it's not.

Does anyone know if they still do tests as this thread is quite old? I think I read that 'no' was the case.

Hi Oracle........how many times did England beat Australia in a row?

How do you blame BFS for WH not winning today? The season is only half way over and I saw a team who gave everything they had.

I did some swotting on this, as though City are the obvious choice they haven't been that good away from home. They have played each of the other top 8 teams once. Results, 6 wins, 1 defeat. The only defeat was the only game they played away from home. So they have 6 'top 8' away games to come.

Contrast that to Liverpool and Chelsea, who have only played 1 home game each and thus have 6 more to come. Also given that Liverpool have no CL distractions, are good at home and do pick up points on the road, I'll plump for them. I wouldn't bet on it though.

You too Blue. Here's hoping that in 2014 you get stuffed at OT and maybe even Wemberley.

Fer fecks sake. Been giving up the evil weed but weakened today and decided to sneak out and buy 10. No notes in my wallet (amazing how much less you go to an ATM). So opened the tin box. Excellent, there are some golden ones in there. I won't be humiliated by carrying in a box of 5p's. I pick the obvious ones and dig a bit further for more. You know what I get? A feckin Australian Dollar. It's from 2007. I haven't been there for nearly 20 years. Is this a new scam or am I just falling for it more often?

I'm a veggie but cooking tomorrow for a few nons. The Mrs bought the above. Seasoned. What happens next? Any tips to help avoid this creature (partial) being wasted would be appreciated. I've tried the web but everything seems complicated. Anything easy? Thanks.

On the subject and given I'm a veggie, how do I cook a turkey thigh? It's already seasoned according to the packaging. Tried the web but everything seemed complicated. Anyone got a simple way of doing it?

I really enjoyed that. Cheered me right up.

I still keep hearing this offer of a 'free' bet on the radio. How are you doing ????'s?

Maybe they should swap?

I don't make the rules. This tread is now in the Lounge, presumably as it's not ED specific.

Of course. I missed the word 'roundabout'. Not sure I've ever seen one with a box junction.

Unless of course a traffic light is NOT a signal.

You've confused me as you appear to contradict yourself. THAT right turn is signalled so according to you, you can't enter the box unless you can turn without stopping which never happens, so why are you ALLOWED to? I don't know the law as I thought if you were turning right you could enter the box. I didn't know anything about lights or not. So which is it please?

You are silly enough to write about something in Nunhead in this thread where technically it will be deleted as it's not ED specific.

Electronic voucher is fine so long as you have a printer and use your imagination to present it well.

That makes me ?2.39 up. What fool gave that piece of history to me? I'll hold on to it I think.

I empty my pockets of coins each day and put them in a tin. Each morning I may take some out but gradually the volume in the tin increases as I usually leave the lesser valued coins. A couple of times recently I've had payment not accepted in newsagents and on close inspection it seems I was passing off 50 cents pieces as pounds.

I've reached a conclusion that I need to be more careful and examine change which is given to me. This morning as I was looking closely in the tin I found some more cent coins and lo and behold what I though was a 10p was actually a 1998 World Cup momento coin featuring Gary Neville.

I wonder how much that is worth now............

As long as you don't mind losing to a fellow veggie!
