What about those shops with doors that sometimes get stuck in the open position when people open them to get in or out? Are these doors being addressed by the campaign?

Easy, 'Nette. Insert the meds first, then 'plug' the anus with the fat end of a Vosene bottle.

Unsmoked Back? Are you having a laugh? Do you put a pineapple ring on top? Pack of Oscar Meyer. Bag of Warburtons white. Tommy K. NEXT

Quite frankly, a pill up the bum and Strings of Life up to 11 - now and again - would do some of you miseries a world of good.

It does seem a shame, malumbu. Fashions change. But who knows, with the passing of time - and a bit of luck - the normalisation of mild sexual assault will once again become primetime family viewing. *gropes the breasts of a passing teenage schoolgirl, accompanied by the sound of a rasping trombone*

Phwoar! Porn! Eh? EH?!! (Does Carry-On-style-one-fist-in-the-nook-of-the-other-elbow-with-a-raised-clenched-fist-at-the-end-of-that-arm-type-gesture) If only there was a snappier name for that.

A friend of mine used to work in this area. She said the majority of family kitchens at home would be at the bottom of the hygiene ratings were they to be inspected, so it's always worth keeping these things in perspective.

I was on an empty local bus with my then GF in St Lucia, going through a particularly isolated stretch. At the top of a hill, the road was blocked by a couple of men wielding machetes. The bus drew to a halt. I steeled myself for a grisly end as the bade the driver wind his window down. One of the men then lopped the top off a coconut, popped a straw in it - and passed it through the window. The bus driver then detoured a few miles off his route to drop us right outside our destination.

In short, it's so easy to be offended by a type of person you've already decided not to like.

So Sue - to summarize: it's your own fault.

We're just one step away from somebody mentioning the middle classes. I can feel that class-ometer twitching. Come on - LET'S DO IT - it's been nearly a week.

Perceived 'bad manners' often have a strange magnetic pull towards those most likely to get all uppity about bad manners. One day The Boffins will come-up with an explanatory equation, I expect.

Rub-in a bit of Persil before they go in the machine. Should come out ok.

Lumens (ie how bright) output of a 50w halogen = approx 900. Lumens output of current LED replacements = 450, tops. So the answer is.. There aren't any, not if you're looking for the same level of brightness anyway. If you can live with less light, give them a go by all means. Don't forget to compare: Physical size (not all LED 'gu10 replacements' are identically sized, so not all will fit if space is tight) Beam angle Always compare lumens, not watts. Consider whether they need to be dimmed (not all LEDs are dimmable and those that are should have a new-fangled electronic dimmer, not the old-school type. The ones with a single LED are much better then the 'cluster' types. Light quality has definitely improved, even if the light output isn't up to scratch. Philips is a reliable brand. Buy the latest stuff, don't get fobbed-off with the backload of two year-old LEDs the bulb company is sitting on, which aren't quite as good. There are some new quite new ones from a company called ZetaLED which are meant to be good, but they are wide beam only. We have a few Megaman LED GU10s here (the 'best selling' one from BLT Direct) which are decent in light quality but only used for accent lighting. Buy they from BLT.. They have a very good no quibble return policy so you can try some out - and then send them back when you discover they're not bright enough.

13.41.. It's.. no - hang on, we've lost the satellite link. We'll try and get that back as soon as possible.

What about the burning at the stake? Surely that one's got to be true?

Who knows?.. depends what the stuff looks like. They put loads of furniture up for sale with estimates of only ?100-?200 so they're not exactly dealing at the finer end of the market a lot of the time. They used to do a 'contemporary furniture' bit in one of their sales where they sold newish items.
