Les, an excellent place to take a Lady would be Betws-y-Coed. In the valley south of Conwy and Bangor just along the A5 from LLangollen. Some very pretty riverside walks, you can easily get to places like Blaneau Ffestiniog, Pothmadog, the prisoner village at Portmeiron, Llanberis and Snowdon...

I seem to remember that you had to stop drinking because of retinopathy. I have been working with some endocrinologists and diabetologists recently and came accross an interesting paper in the Journal of Diabetic Medicine (abstract below). It seems like alcohol could actually be beneficial in...

Good Lord, I actually agree with you. What this woman has done is assault her son. There are many children who are damaged by domestic violence and this is effectively an absurd form of it. It must be very unusual for a smack head to behave in the way that she did, but is it really clear that...

Pretoria is/was very cheap, in more ways than one. Avoid taxis, unless you booked through your hotel - I had a drunk driver take me to Jan Smuts and he had never been there before. You, knowing your lonney left views, would probably enjoy a tour around one of the townships like Soweto...

I think that may be a bit harsh but I agree with your sentiments. The standard of achievement in A level maths and physics has demonstrably reduced by at least two grades over the past 15 years to the extent that a first degree in engineering or science is now four years rather than three. I...

My employer pays 14% into my pension while I pay 6.35%.

The Irish policy is very effective, that is why they are all here. :nono:

If that was the lot at Hunters Race or by the airfield then the still seem to be around. They are thieving violent scum who should be sent back to Ireland after all their possesions have been confiscated. Unfortunately, Ireland got fed up with their antics and harrassed them enough that they...

The two main camps are quite astonishing. I remember that the when I went around the smaller camp, after the piles of hair, shoes, suitcases, scrawling in the cell where they first experimented with Zyclon-B, etc., it was quite a relief to see that the gallows had been used to hang the camp...

Unless you take the larger away from the smaller :jester: or they are complex. So, for something negative and complex [-3 -4i] :p

Why don't you try teaching in a fee-paying school to see if you like it and/or have aptitude. That way you get to do the teaching without having to do most of the nonsense that goes with it. Also, if you do like it your children (should you be allowed them) can usually get around 80% off the...

And Royston Vasey :lolol: I guess I missed a :jester: or two there. Thats to the south of us and very good it is to. I dropped in at a Lotus owners day a few months back and that was as interesting as any motor racing. I'll make sure I close the gates then unless you promise to pee on the...

More bloody tourists, gamblers and holiday makers. This is a local racecourse for local people. We don't want every Tom, Dick and Harry clogging up our rather pleasant neck of the woods thank you.

Because we have no idea at all how deep these sentiments run within our own people and no idea who are own people are anymore. There was an item on the news last night about a student who was kidnapped by hezbollocks in Beruit. He called a student friend with connections to Hezbollocks and they...

Then do it from the comfort of your own home in the modern way http://www.isleofwightweather.co.uk/live_storm_data.htm Last night you could see three separate storms convolving just to the west of the island. Then they came in land and watered the garden for me in a quite spectacular style...

Is that true? Unusually, I don't remember anything denigrating his character or circumstances. Why has this case received so much attention compared to all the others? An asian man gets killed in Yorkshire this week by a gang of youths and its only five lines on page nine of the paper. I think...

Don't forget that it wasn't until John Wyclif and the lollards that the "English" language was actually common accross England. That is part of the reason for the large number of latin words but also the convergence of all of the regional variations. The publication of the Bible in English in...

I would rate an OU degree as superirior to one from any of the former polytechnics, particularly when it is achieved by someone who is also working. The people I have met who have done them have generally better skills in time management and independant thought than many from a more traditional...

And now that I see that it is based on 2002 data I feel much less smug. How many lawyers only earn £50000 or "medical practitioners" on £63000?
