errr, think you'll like him then legalbeagle when he is nearing retirement and his hair goes 'n then his teeth go, 'n then his money goes, 'n then your friends go but obviously not in the early stages, because the first nine years or so is like a honeymoon!

Some of those lights are not supplied through a conventional light switch so they cannot be turned off other than by the timing device controlling them.

Well of course, it's all sweetness and light in the early days legalbeagal................

Margarine woof, you must be a mongrel from the wrong side of the tracks, pedigree dogs always prefer butter (unsalted).

It also has a very large number of poets and limerick writers too, thanks to Tillie Trotter.

There certainly was a half-farthing as I remember playing with them, but I don't remember being able to spend them. There was a threepenny 'Joey' which was a silver threepenny bit, they were rare and kept for things like Christmas puddings, and was pronounced threp'nee bit.

We take great care of our wrong doers, we vote them back in having made the most fraudulent claims, we take care of all the riff-raff who should be hung or worse, and we re-employ them in highly paid jobs having made the severest blunders like that douglass hog character who was responsible for murdering thousands of pounds worth of beef cattle. It's okay though he's still employed in that 'House of Conmens'.

.....Nuttalls Mintoes were kept in a red and gold coloured oval tin. Cadbury's put one and a half glasses of full cream milk in every bar....

Snickers were something produced by a horse or pony.

I too have an ipod and have around thirty books mostly Dickens and have only used about five or six gig and it has a hundred or so. I'm impressed at the storage capacity.

Spangles were, according to the advertising blurb, Hopalong Cassidy's favourite sweets, and the dimple in the middle took your tongue straight to where the flavour is.

Unless it gives sexual gratification and/or porridge to it's aged owners, then we are like Jah Lush, not fussed, can't be arsed, yawn yawn!

I have had a mobile since they were the size and weight of a house brick. I would not know what to do with an I-phone as the buttons would be too small for my fingers to use, and my failing eyesight and memory would I suspect confound this indulgence.

you could buy four gallons of petrol (about 16 litres) for a pound. In the fifties.

I hope they prosecute the dangerous dog owner, and prevent him from owning any other live stock.

James May quoted that figure on one of his programmes.

I think the head-dress worn by muslims whilst driving, should be made illegal, they cannot see anything going on around them, and I have swerved out of their way on three seperate occasions to avoid being collided with, in the last two weeks, because they hadn't seen me! Absolutely lethal, as the wearers are completely oblivious to not having any peripheral vision and all it's limitations. Change the law please, before there are more deaths on the roads.

The simple answer is make your own and not darken those ironic doors again.

If he is in the trade he is a practical man, and if he says 'dont get me anything' that means do not waste your hard earned, but if you find something that is useful which he does not possess, he will undoubtedly use it. A practical present is a 'Mach3' razor and some 'Kingshave' (a fiver a tube) from most large supermarkets or boots, assuming he does not use them already. They will produce the smoothest shave he has ever had. My eldest daughter arranges a day out to somewhere unusual, lunch on a thames ship, a day in a nature conservation area, an afternoon at the Tate or the Science museum (launch pad is the place for him) as there are things to do and problems to solve) plus there are loads of mechanical stuff which would interest him.

Ex-Speaker of the 'house of common thieves' mr martin who complained that the public should never had the information released regarding MP's expenses. When the finger pointed at him he tried to blame it all on the lady who had been in post for only two weeks, that is a scumbag!

There was a banner outside the 'Dog' in Dulwich village with a 'comedy' something or other going on. I noticed as I carefully drove by at a steady fifty-ish. (Crown and Greyhound) is the correct title so it might be worth checking out.

Dear Giggsy That is an awful lot of personal stuff and you come out smelling of roses, good for you.
