Is high gallstone issue occurance also linked to any rapid weight loss / crash diets? I've not heard of this but aware of other risks like on the Atkins (no carb) diet.

Orange poo? I tried something similar years ago and after a high fat meal (eg curry/chinese) my output would be spectacular. Velocity and colour of note.

I lived in Millyard Crescent until 1968. I have some old cine film my dad took of that era that I've had digitised. Also, those back-loader busses, how we enjoyed jumping off while the bus was still moving .... Happy days!

Does a spoons cooked breakfast and bottomless coffee count as eating out? At ~£12 for the BOTH of us, I can accept the quality. £300 for a meal out is above my station ....

Pack of 10 A4 230 GSM gloss white photo paper pack for my colour laser printer. Well, it's media and its physical ....

I'm partial to the caramelised onion option. In a sandwich with an egg on 👌 Airfryer for me ...

I noticed something in Bart's technique at Anfield today. I'm not a goalkeeping coach so it would be unwise of me to call it a flaw. In the first half he made an outstanding save from a right-foot shot (Gatko?) that was high to his left and going in. He used one hand, his left, and was able to...

Indeed, but my mum, was a healthy, relatively financially sound, 89 year old, then had a severe stroke and has ended up in a care home. It can happen to anyone. She worked and paid her taxes all her life. Its called protecting against uncertainty. Not everyone will choose to do this, but make...

Back in the 80s my best mate worked for Southern Sound Radio and they played regular charity football matches during the summer. I was invited to play in these matches as a ringer. Tony Millard was their sports reporter and using his contacts he would turn up with a full Albion kit (Phoenix...

Me and Mrs SS are in the process of changing our wills right now to do just this. I've seen my mums savings and premium bonds (~£30k) handed over to the care home over the last 18 months and want to protect some of my legacy to my kids. The way to do this is to change propery title from joint...

My mum is in a care home in Rottingdean paying £4k pcm ( about £925 per week). She is totally dependent. Care fees are means tested. Above £22,250 its 100%. Below £13,250? the state pays 100% and in between is tapered.

My understanding. No IHT to spouse. So she will get all your SIPP (or other defined contribution pot) free of IHT but any drawdown will be at her marginal rate but can still enjoy 25% free of tax. Only when she dies will the IHT kick in. Happy to be corrected ...

They also invented their own type of football based on rugby and American football. But this has not been adopted globally.

It's an early dry-run to practice my bargh-humbugs in readiness for Christmas. If I do answer the door, I'll probably reel out the old favourite, "oh, I do like children, but I couldn't eat a whole one." Followed by my most evil laugh .... Quite like the Aussie note.

I bought an HP colour laser jet about 4 years ago after a lifetime of faffing about with ink. Cost £300 from memory. Earlier this year the black toner ran low. Genuine HP toner was £150 but i got a non HP one from Yes Cartridges for £30. I was worried about compatibility, but no need. Prints at...

Can you share birth stats for the Arab countries? Watching the news on Gaza and Beriut seems to be that large families are commonplace?

What about medical advancements over the last 20 oor so years? Better contraception, morning after pill and termination clinics? These collectively must be suppressng birth rates? Also, the catholics seem more accepting of contraception these days. Downside is that nun recruitment at the...

Was playing cricket there back in 2007. Loved it You can do a guided tour (like the Amex) of both Newlands cricket and rugby stadiums. If hiring a car, lunch in Simonstown on the Navy ship was good. Cape Point but keep away from the baboons. Wine tour, and table Mountain must. There was a...

And when the boomers die, as they surely will one day. Who will inherit these six houses you speak of?

Years ago I watched a space shuttle documentary and was intrigued by the "de-orbit burn". Engines fired at a precise time for a precise length of time. Now, as one example, I find myself counting the time the tap is on to fill the kettle, 4 seconds for each cupful required. O6ther stuff, like...
