If it goes wrong there won't be another - so may as well let this one go even if you're anti.

That's a good one actually - but could have been balancing as it fell over with the perception of being stuck. Anyway it's more mousetraps for me as the bloody mouse was on top of my washing machine when I came in - I'd rather a free standing broom.

As my physics teacher used to say - even if you see something and others do too - you can never tell you haven't participated in a group mass hysteria event (which happens) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_hysteria The latest mass hysteria event in Wikis list - Killer Clowns in 2016

That's me too I'm afraid - just too rational to believe any noise or event is anything other than something rational even after scaring myself stupid on the horror films I watch. I'd have come back after the initial scare to investigate for sure - I'd love to see a real unexplained event rather than know the creaks behind the wall mean I have to buy a mouse trap.

Nissan has very strong links to Renault who are owned by the French government Can't see them being in Sunderland in 5 years or so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault%E2%80%93Nissan%E2%80%93Mitsubishi_Alliance

I'd love to believe but I'm sceptical by nature and nothing ever happens to me.

The EU has said NI will be in the single market. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/feb/09/northern-ireland-will-stay-in-single-market-after-brexit-eu-says That will really really annoy the DUP - unless the whole of the UK does the same.

It ended up being a quiet place where I went if I wanted a quiet drink - but that has it's uses and it wasn't a space with bad feelings - I'm not always looking to party :). The Ales I found many were too strong unless you just wanted to taste (those one/third pint things) - but they did have session beer/lager as well. Had a huge screen - ironic it's gone as the six nations starts.

We did my mums probate ourselves .. or my sister did most of it .. and we've only now got round to clearing and selling the house five years later. I get the feeling from the jist of my mums will that's what she wanted, but why ? My brother in law said 'she left loads of notes round the house' (but he never shared what they said, and I don't like to ask). Deaths are horrible and leave unanswered questions that you never get answered.

Life begins at 50 (most people feel happier at that age apparently)

Watch out Theresa May will be over to police us soon :)

Men especially are careful about talking to other peoples children these days (much easier if other people are there too I think). We were pretty vile too - I remember we picked on the adults who chased us .... relentlessly

Mr Barnier said: ?My feeling is we have not a minute to lose because we want to achieve a deal... we have decided for this reason to accelerate all the contacts, the useful contacts.? He's throwing shade as they say ;)

Don't do antibiotics for flu - but if you're really weak there must be a chance of opportunistic infections Mine is just a cough but seems to have come and gone since November :(

I thought the tactic of kicking the ball downfield but in play to the Scottish back 3 was suicidal. But that's why I'm not coaching Wales and Gatland is :)
