    [Albion] Capital n ?

    ...and the 'o's in 'loose'.

    [Albion] Capital n ?

    How can the "n" in "north" be lower case but the "N" in "stand" be upper case when they're identical?

    [Help] Question for the Plumbers

    Judging by both the position of the valve and the fact that she's standing away from the (rather meagre) flow, I'm guessing she's got it running too cold. She'll catch her death.

    [Finance] Best energy supplier

    Bulb for me too. Find an existing customer to refer you and you both get £50. Cheapest deal for me.

    [Misc] Mid-lift career change - anyone done it?

    I see what you mean - however, each time, I've described it to myself and those around me as "retire". Income was from the investments I'd previously made (so, equivalent to a pension, I guess). Think Steve Redgrave: "you have my permission to shoot me if you see me in a boat ever again" -...

    [Brighton] Chinook Over Portslade Just Now

    It was my Dad's last posting; he retired in c'93 and died in 2015. He was known as "WONG" though - he was a WO and the initials of his first and middle names were N and G. Your B-i-L may just possibly have heard of that nickname, but it seems unlikely since they didn't serve together (at...

    North Korea Chat

    Fair point. More accurately, I should perhaps have said "over the last 3 or so years, but with an exponential growth curve, such that it's become particularly noticeable to me over the last year".

    North Korea Chat

    Historically, I'd have been dead against this idea (while acknowledging that it was nothing to do with me). Now, however, I would be strongly in favour, while continuing the same acknowledgement. The frequency of threads being started seemingly to spoil for a fight appears to have increased...

    [Humour] 1970's ornaments.

    That dress was sold at auction a few years ago (by the owner, a friend of the (then) girl in the photo who had lent it to her for the shoot). Estimate: £2k. Went for £15k. Buyer: All England club. It's now in the Wimbledon Museum. The racket was also sold at the same time by the same...

    Cowfold Seagull Not often, maybe; but Mourinho won the PL for Chelsea in his second term. I'd surmise that Luton would be happy enough with that.

    [News] Woman sacked after calling police on black man

    She was a VP of a NYC investment firm. I’ve met maybe 100 during my career and regret to report that my experience of them would endorse the stereotypical, cliched view of them (cf Wolf of Wolf Street) - driven, arrogant bullies; prepared to do anything to win. I therefore suspect that there’s...
