After my run in with Spanish company on another thread. Have elected to forego my usual Aldi Chianti and opt for the far more potent winter berry and clementine gin (11 year limited edition) that I won in the raffle at a fete recently. :thumbsup:

As some of you may know I am an ageing photographer. In the past I was commissioned often, but since the pandemic started work has dropped off somewhat. However, over the years I have built up a significant catalogue of images taken in the UK and also worldwide. These images are placed with...

My favourite city in the world. In January there will be fewer tourists and it will be cold and unfortunately you will miss the annual spectacular Carnival 3-13 Feb in 2024. Also, the Vaporetto pass is great value and can be bought at the airport and is about £50-60 for the week and you can use...

Great vid, but its been removed. Still, Carey's been caught by Bairstow right at the end of the days play. Every clouds got a silver lining eh. :reinelt:

Yes, son is on a good whack and I charge him a peppercorn rent as I like to call it. £45 p/w. He buys all his own food, but his contribution of said £45 goes towards the council tax, broadband and utility bills etc. Plus its like a hotel for him, all his washing and cleaning get done, result...

These are dangerous times with much uncertainty. If he's toppled, somebody more unstable than Putin (hard to believe) may end up with their finger on the nuclear button.

Sitting out in the Garden with a bottle of Chianti. Fell asleep for an hour. Aldi £4.99 Chianti. Never let it be said that I don't know how to live

For those of us of a certain age. I've just bought the DVD of the classic 5 part series. What is the favourite episode of NSC, mine has to be Yosser's story. Just to recap. Jobs for the Boys Featuring most of the characters from the initial drama. They take a cash-in-hand job on a building...

I'm genuinely intrigued, If things are so bad, why is the Bank of England saying that it no longer expects the Uk to enter recession in 2023. Yet eight EU countries have slipped into recession, including Germany. :shrug:
