The Newcastle fans were immense today. Constant noise in that second half and after the match all seemed relatively cheerful and friendly.

Have been getting quotes over the last few weeks for plastering a complete new build. We have been offered two options by different companies and individuals. A “day rate” and a “job rate”. Those offering a job rate have tended to be the more experienced, (and older), individuals. When I...

Try explaining to a 4 year old the concept of money without cash!

Went to a school fete on Saturday - no sign of a card machine.

No, on the face of it, i don‘t endorse the actions of those particular protesters any more than I approve of the behaviour of some drivers, some football fans or some of almost any group you care to mention. None of that diminishes my opinion that the cause JSO is fighting for is worthwhile and...

On the face of it that sounds perfectly reasonable - however since the changes to the Public Order Act this year peaceful static demonstrations outside government buildings is fraught with problems. There is already an “exclusion zone” around Parliament which can be extended by ministers and...

From personal experience I think it is unlikely that trying to dig all the roots out is practical without damaging the shrubs and trees if the problem is as bad as you describe. When we first moved to our current home we literally had acres of brambles, wild roses and blackthorn. The most...

Of course people are directly affected by JSOs actions. That’s how protests work. Peaceful protests are a key part of any democracy.

You describe the real problem with solving global warming perfectly. We, as consumers, will continue to ignore global warming so long as to do otherwise costs us more, is less convenient or not as immediately pleasurable.

Whether it is or not I don’t know without evidence for or against. I do agree with a lot of the recommendations they make. The 10 strategic recommendations of the Fan-Led Review are: 1. To ensure the long-term sustainability of football, the Government should create a new independent...

Make the cost of installing a heat pump the same as a replacement gas boiler by a combination of subsidising one and putting a levy on the other.

The problem is not how much oil and gas is pumped nor how much coal comes out of the ground. The simple truth is that the problem is how much of those each and everyone of us use. The answer is not just an increase in renewables but incentives for us all to decrease our usage. One example...

We are getting somewhat worried about a number of our oak trees. They are showing similar symptoms to those showing on our ash trees. This is the one causing immediate concern There is very little, if any, new growth. There are numerous dead branches and the amount of leaf cover over the...

So maybe your ire should be directed at all the media people there - without them the protest would not have been reported and therefore unlikely to have occurred. Do you think that all the photographers there had been invited? They may have been a better target for your reaction.

Personally I have no problem with that sort of protest - low impact yet high visibility. i would guess that the throwing of the confetti caused far less disruption to the wedding than the numbers of media photographers and reporters at the wedding who were there and yet gained wide publicity...

For the first couple of seasons books of bus tickets were sold by the club for the P&R from the racecourse.

SIPs starting to be craned in on Monday - scaffolding will be extended upwards when installation has reached first floor level.

Absolutely not! Inflation running at around 10% - savings interest rates at less than 5%. All that means is that savings are effectively being devalued by at least 5% a year and if you are retired then you have no means to make up that deficit.

Our scaffolding went up today - great bunch of guys - amazingly quick and thorough - all joints checked and double checked
