Just thought I heard on the radio in the background that non-white births in the UK now outnumber white ones! This would be shocking even if it was just England, but the whole of the UK? Someone please tell me I misheard!

Couldn't you wait the full term?

I went to boarding school in Bath in the early 1970s where I was constantly taunted about 'own-goal Spearritt'! I have never heard of this reputation since, so I guess he must have conceded just two, with possibly not too many matches in between them.* My Bristol Rovers supporting pal and I...

That's even better than this one! Mind you, that poor husky must be sweltering in that costume, even if it's freezing.

Why have you stated 'this season' when the thread is clearly about next?

I rode it a couple of times from Goring to games when Southdown ran it as the 700 'Coastliner' in the mid 1970s. But I went back to the train because there were more interesting conversations and also you didn't have to walk up to the GG from the King Alfred.

I'm not looking for a surrogate mother. No, and I'm not getting any either :)

I was doing just that when I realised it was 50% fat!

I've let food stocks fall alarmingly low, but I'm just too tired to go and cycle to Asda in the rain. I have plenty of the following, though: peanut butter (50% fat), vegetable oil, self-raising flour and sugar. I have no eggs or milk, but do have a lump of solidified coffee whitening I could...

You could have any colour you like as long as it was duck-egg blue.

Have you tried clicking the link that GoogleAds made? :) I've just dipped my toe into Linux, so wouldn't even know how to run a script, let alone guess what "done by terminal" might mean!

Please don't even suggest that storing electricity in batteries is in any way efficient. The battery that costs less than the value of all the electricity it can store over its entire lifetime has yet to be invented,

I know I'm hijacking my own thread, but I can't get my 3 Mobile Broadband dongle to work with Puppy, although it does with Ubuntu. Are there any smaller distros you know of where it will work?
