Hey Alan, no I don't think I did (you can breathe easy *Bob*). My comment was because it could have been a whole host of reasons the person topped themselves. As it turns out it was a fairly cut and dried reason (no pun intended) and perhaps I was presumptious.

I don't recall *Bob* saying the person committed Hari Kiri (stabbing oneself in the stomach) though Alan!

Well it's metaphorical hara-kiri. It was an honourable self administered exit.


Not just *Bob* no we can all go to Zipolite. Imagine the impact on house prices..


I'd like to book that taxi driver for my Grandad this year. It would save the Queen a stamp and give my mum a nice windfall and a well earned brake from the cantankerous old curmudgeon.

I still have the numbers of a couple of dead friends in my phone (one suicide, one 7/7 victim). I was going to delete them but when it came-up saying 'Delete Y/N' it seemed inconsiderate to press Y.


Which is stupid, seeing as they're.. you know.. deleted.

I do this *Bob*. Sadly my friend, Liliane was killed in a car accident last year. I called her husband after it happened, so to see how he was and pass on my condolences. He wasn't in so I left a message. I was a bit spooked when two hours later, her name came up on my phone. It didn't occurr to me in the first instance that I saved their home number under Liliane's name. :(

I am actually capt_birdseye's great-grandson, posting from the future. The original Lordship Lane is now underwater but there is a "High Street" of boats owned by the Federal Republic of Parkhill Properties.

Pay no attention to First Mate Birdseye there he?s always trying to mess with you unsophisticated folk from the past. Anyway he has an urgent delivery to make to Goose Green island.


I never should have let that AOL salesman convince me to get the Time Browsing application installed on the Nuclear Gondola?s computer network.

It?s still here. It is now watertight and you enter from the dock on the roof. You get to watch seals, salmon and the odd shopping trolley go past the windows while you drink. You can smoke inside again as they have done some more research and figured out that smoking was actually good for you all along.


They still need to re-carpet the back room. And the bogs still look and smell the same.

Once someone asked me "If you died would your Facebook "friends" come to your funeral."


I said I doubt it because I wouldn't be able to update my status - so how would they know I'd left this mortal coil.


Nor would I be able to invite people to my funeral.

    • If you want to change a radiator and it is the same size, pretty straight forward.  isolate by turning the two valves, one is straight forward hand twist, the other side you need to take the cap off and get an adjustable spanner and turn till closed.  Both clockwise. Use the same spanner to undo the large nuts that fix the radiator to the pipework, open the bleed valve, get a flatish container to catch the water which is likely to be a grotty black, sheets/plastic underneath to protect floor/floor covering.  Then jiggle off, tipping as quick as you an into your water container. Fingers crossed it will be the same back plate fitting.  If not you will have to take the old one off and fix the new one. Replacement is a reverse, allowing the rad to refill and let the air out. No naked flames involved. If it is a different size I can advise on that too. Lots on line too: https://www.toolstation.com/help-and-advice/how-to-guides/how-to-remove-radiator?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19747119835&gclid=CjwKCAiAkvDMBhBMEiwAnUA9BR26YwBA6kOfcR4-JVxfJEjWdhRk6j0imCNcsIfu064wHN54-cs10xoCZ4cQAvD_BwE Although this is for a pressurised (combi) system where you need to get it back to pressure.  Pretty simple.  I don't bother with jointing compound.    
    • Fair enough - I'm absolutely wrong on that one. 👍
    • I'm still completely unclear what happened, apart from that a car apparently crashed into a lamp post opposite the Co-op. I presume the one in Lordship Lane, though the OP doesn't say. Was it speeding? Did it swerve to avoid someone who ran into the road? Did something go wrong with its brakes or steering? Did the driver have a medical emergency or fall asleep or got  distracted by something? Was there something slippery on the road surface? Was the driver hurt? Were any passengers hurt? Were any pedestrians or other road users hurt? Were there any witnesses? 
    • confused by the question?
