Er, how about they both walk with a stick? The father due to age, the son, after a minor ski-ing accident or something. If it were a crime though then the father would need an alibi...is that not maybe the answer? E

I am in awe!!!!! I saw him on the outrider tour in 1986 (IIRC) had front row, in the centre at Newcastle City Hall. He sat down tith his Dan Electric and I shouted "You really going to play Black mountainside - White Summer?" - "How did you know?" he replied. "You use that guitar for those songs because of the tuning....." He just laughed and shook my hand....never washed of for a week. Miserable git never gave me his scarf at the end of the gig though...despite becoming bezzie mates in an instant... Still always the next tour to look forward to..... E

While I don't believe in a "god" I do belive in spirits as I have experienced them. But, the point of my reply is this. Evolution...we all know it takes a long time, but what hands down the "knowledge" that (for example) a opposable thumb is useful? Is this passed in the DNA?, and if you spot something is useful, thumbs or walking upright then why the hell does it take so long? Appreciate these are very basic questions, but only go evolution at CSE grade 4...

Yep, did it two years ago, and have to say never again....trying to get on a bus back home was manic. Might have been alright if I'd have been as wasted as the other 90% of the bus but I wasn't. Close as I have ever come to going postal... E

I started calling up and cancelling meeting up, saying I was going out for drinks with guys from work, and suddenly everything changed!!! Maybe was just her, but occasionally acting out of character might just help. Good luck ...

If their price ends is xxx.x9 then it's their retail price and you can negotiate a bit. If it's xxx.x8 then it's first stage of markdown, and no discounts allowed. The xxx.x7 is the final discount price... Good on yer though!

My wife is Christian, I am atheist. If she wants to go to a service then I can have no say in that, and am happy to stay at home/read the paper in the car. Can't you're hubby do that? Sorry but I'm one of those Atheists who are not anti religion, just have no belief in in a god, and don't try to force my views down others throats. Which ironically, I feel is what organised regions should be about..... E

Don't cough....

Right up there > with The Great Egg Race. Ahh Classics the pair of them!! Now, does anyone remember something from late 1989 Early 1990 called (I think)The Inteceptor. Basically a team had to get from point a to point b (on somw dessolate hillside) without being shot at (Laser-quest styleee) from a chap who had it a bit easy as he had a helicopter to get about. A bit like Treasure Hunt but without the wobbly arse shots.... The Interceptor if that was his name was untra cool, and I rember him frightening the bejesus out of some poor girl as he hid around a corner, then running off and doing a hand spring over a 5 bar gate.....class and cool.... Just googled it....http://www.interceptors-lair.com enjoy!!! Oh, and Gilberts Fridge...Gilbert the Geordie Alien....class...

WOW! Three of us on Copleston Road! And more importanlty I now know why the shower had a wobbler when I used it this afternoon. Maybe someone should tell Thames Water about the leak on the path near Soames street. That's going to be a helluva slide by tomorrow morning!!! E

I visit Sweden every year to watch the World Rally championship, and it is usually -20 something. For this i have walking boots and sensible socks (As we have a fair treck to spectate) then thermal long johns over which I wear salopets. UP to O go for layers. two t shirts, a thin jumper then a berghouse (Sp?) fleece and outercoat. HAt scarf and gloves. As the day involves walking to viewing point, then standing for 5-7 hours it does the job for me, but of you're stomping through the hills then may need something more "technical" for your base layer... HTH and enjoy!

Have to say Nutty I'm with you through and through. I live about 250 yds from it and I claim to be in ED, though have an SE15 Postcode. As for where it claims to be (And Alan's counter claims) BUT REALLY DOES IT FUC&ING MATTER! Since when do people define where they will drink by a boozer's postcode?? As for what Alan's problems are ......There is this big gripe about a possible flats conversion of the place, but by the same token he seems to go out of his way to discourage people from visiting, and having a general downer on the place/location. Now, if you don't want the place to convert to flats, then perhaps a more positive upbeat approach to the place, and not moaning about the "Location" would go more towards building up the business, and thus negate the worries about loosing a local boozer? Alan, why are you so negative about this place?
