  1. My bill has doubled in 5 years, so I'd think that would be similar They have changed the method of totting it up (NPower did anyway) - or check you haven't had a year or two of estimated bills (like my water bill :( )
  2. It does happen without words (been there in my youth) sometimes a dislike has been taken for no reason (maybe previously and unknowingly to the victim). sometimes some kind of jealousy. Certain drugs can cause hyper aggression too.

  3. Witnesses to a crime can report it too. Wouldn't be surprised if it has been reported already.

    My dad used Nippon and used to say they took it to the queen and killed her Think the ants hated him though.

    Utility bills

    has gone up recently - my bill doubled from ?25 to ?50 per month in 5 years (that's gas and electric)
  6. I suppose the only value of loudly celebrating her death is as a warning to prime ministers that this may be you which doesn't really work as we're all to materialistic (thanks Maggie). Oh. Judy Garlands song remains at number 2 on iTunes.
  7. The concept of not speaking ill of the dead is a bit strange. We'd be praising Savile if that was so. Somehow the Thatcher of the 80s-the crazy eyed spitting image character would love it anyway.

  9. Police then might have been targets, but they were the biggest gang in town and operated like that.

  10. The shelf stackers all seem annoyed at customers getting in there way when I'm there - and vice versa :) I'd like wider alleys - room for the shelf stacker thing in the middle - because it's always there.
  11. Really there should be a way out as if you don't know the area and are behind 3 large buses you'd never see it coming - there's bad design there. When it was a one way system you couldn't do the left-right thing - which is dangerous IMHO. But the law is the law :) Greengod Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Hi.

    Haircuts

    Some people don't need haircuts and look better with the unkempt look. When Michu had one he stopped scoring !!!!

    Rugby matters

    Gatland etc. are going to look at the HC later stages. On the Welsh angle would have liked to see Ryan Jones going - but he won't now I'd think. A bit of talk in Wales that Rowntree perhaps shouldn't criticise Adam Jones too much if he intends to play him at 3. Captain shouldn't be a Welshman if Wales make up the largest contingent IMHO. david_carnell Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Oh, hadn't spotted Ryan.

    surely he mean't overall LOL :)
  18. 1 - Vunipola - replaced in Saturdays England side by Marler - selection based too. Showing how difficult it is to select this Lions side. I'd have Mr A W Jones in there too.
  19. Hi - A lot of people will add bits I'd think but first thoughts ... Con - Will cost more and go wrong more (we'll get google.co.uk banned on day 1 - you wait). Logistics means setting up a great firewall of the UK I'd think and imposing it on all service providers (china has done similar), if anybody could get round it, it'll be teenagers to be honest.

  20. Warburton is back to form it seems, but he won't captain Wales on Saturday, rumour is it's Gethin. Lots of people saying BOD, but will he even make the team. Robshaw would need to ensure he is in the team too - there's a lot of good flankers around. I think he can play 6 or 7. A LOT will depend on Saturday - if England get the GS then I'll say Robshaw, otherwise it's up in the air.
  21. I remember a year or two ago a change in the law whereby you could be fined without a ticket being issued if a warden sees something and notes it down. Maybe I imagined it :) Assume it comes in the post if I didn't :(
  22. I'm usually on that train and people have had to ask the crowd to move down at Denmark Hill recently. Don't know what happened to the train to make it more crowded and I'm actually factoring in the lateness of the 8:01 from Peckham Rye into my day. Sometimes I get a seat at Elephant (so a lot of traffic between Denmark Hill and Elephant). I don't mind moving down - maybe people tut because they can't move down until the rest do, or they remember happier days of glorious space :).
  23. I see people caught there all the time - I usually notice the ones that go through, notice and reverse back. It's a strange junction if you don't know it - but it must have been challenged before - so I assumed it was legal. They also dig up that road every month or so - street view was about a year or so ago at least mind. The old one way system is gone now - so I'm surprised it wasn't changed then to some extent.
  24. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-21347281 that one.
  25. The Sydenham report was a blue van too I think.
