Bright Eyes -Simon and Garfunkel

Jah - There is The Duke of Uke near Spitalfields market, they specialise obviously. I got a decent concert-size uke there recently and FYI it cost about ?220. They have cheaper / more expensive ones but all in all a good range and they can advise you well too. good luck.

The Pumphouse Gang, The Crown, Ryde. 1982.

Look Sharp - Joe Jackson

Signing Off - UB40 They seem to have steered towards commercialism almost immediately after this great album release, Present Arms, their follow-up album was OK but already tending towards mainstream..

My neighbour had the spare wheel of his Citron stolen last year from the underneath of his car - it sits on a shelf under the boot accessible from underneath the back of the car. He hadn't fitted a locking bolt so someone relieved him of the wheel. To notice there is no locking bolt though you would have to look under the car to check, so the person who stole it knew what they wanted and how to check it's 'stealability'.

getting frustrated at not being able to find specific albums or books when I need them and KNOWING I have lent them to a friend but not being able to remember WHO.

Make sure there are only 3 chairs in the room and ensure he gets delayed on the way to the meeting..

I asked a similar question a few months ago and I think the Mag was one of the options.

This inconsisitency in the 'reasn' for the loss of service seems common with Virgin, on a bad day it can seem like not a very joined-up service at all.

This happened to my Grandfather a couple of years ago, he was 94 at the time and let them in to check the kitchen 'water main' under his sink, they then asked him to turn the taps on upstairs in the bathroom to check the effect on flow. It took him ages to get there needless to say. Then one of the two guys came upstairs to 'chwck' with him whilst the other had a good scout around downstairs. As my Grandad and the other chap came downstairs my Uncle turned up and noticing the front door open he stepped in quick and asked what was going on, the guys casually said they were from the 'water board' then one of them knocked him out and they both strolled off. My grandad still hadn't clicked what was going on. It turned out there had been a lot of this activity in a few hours in the local few streets. Don't open the door to them. Ask them what they want and 'check' your appliances yourself !!

Had this a few months ago, Virgin arranged an engineer a few times to come over and i had to leave work early to find him cancel last minute etc etc, was a drag and in fact the resolution was not what he did in the house it was 'something done elsewhere, outside' so Pardeep on the helpline advised me. When it's working it's grand, so hopefully yours will be fixed soon and you can get back to normal usage..

I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry - Hank Williams

Strange, there's no mention in the Independent's article about the woman's prior serious back condition which had been previously operated on when the woman was a student. That'll be the back condition which was aggravated by the woman's fall during the attack by the pupil. The attack by the pupil was inexcusable.

Eater81 I agree with your general sentiment to a point, however, where in the UK would you describe as NOT a cess pit ?

Bow Wow Blues - The Allen Brothers

Handsome Molly - Bob Dylan

Why Oh Why in any petrol station can I not find a cold drink which is actually COLD ? The drinks are installed in a 'fridge' labelled 'cold drinks' but they are positively UNcold to my touch. If I question the 'coldness' of drinks, however politely, it's taken as some kind of insult or the staff act like the drinks really are cold but it's only me that doesn't realise. Emperor's new clothes or something like that...

I don't think you'll need permission to brick up the window and replace with a smaller window and vents, but suggest you check your rights re perpetuation of the entitlement to a window there in case after years you decide to open it up and someone nearby considers it an intrusion on their privacy.

Word to ComputedShorty. Anyone who's had friends / relatives die may agree it kind of reminds you where we really are and how close to not being here we are at any time. Like Shorty I'm also glad for each new day and could not pin 'best years' down to a specific period(s) so far, though my unemployed days on the IOW were great, no money, just friends the beach and dreams.

...with good sounds on of course (Jeep AND whilst cooking). ...filling one's face with berries of any kind while at a 'pick your own' farm, paying for picked fruit with juice dribblin down chin, then having to wait days before being 'ready' to eat them due to prior ashamed gluttony !

The Lock Keeper's Lament - Burl Ives

Jeez I had the 'basic' limited 2.5L version and that was a good 'un until I rolled it. Never tried the 4L. Guilty pleasures - crafty glass of decent champagne while cooking something new in kitchen.
