    Christmas meal dillemma

The first of you problems is how to dump the whole thing without being accused of the HR bullying thing. Whatever you do too try and keep it going will fail. A crowd of people ( if that...

    If anyone doesn't want their fivers I will happily take them off you.......

    The reply from the Bank of England says there is a small amount of tallow on the Polymer pellets used in the manufacture of the notes. Then every piece of plastic these Vegans use to keep their beans, water and virtually everything they touch from day to day is manufactured with similar plastic...

    Southern Rail STRIKE details

    I may not be as intelligent as Ernest, who obviously has a brain the size of a Planet. But I am older and have been watching these same futile Union actions since I was a little lad. Unions haven't won one yet, just helped destroy the industry they are supposed to support.

    Southern Rail STRIKE details

    I think Enrest is confused. It's Hundreds of thousand's of working people and their Companies who are suffering, compared to the few hundred non working Railway employees and their Company.

    Your secrets of longevity?

    Bruno's lifestyle is a fitness regime , not a guarantee of extra life. Only a painted portrait of yourself when younger, and stored in your loft can guarantee you extra life.

    Choppy Seas?

    There's a big brass plaque on the deck which is engraved " Here Nelson Fell." I thought, " I'm not surprised, it's a really obvious trip hazard."

    I've enlarged the image, for members of the Flat Earth Society and others. See that thing sticking up on top of the hill, it's a monument to Nelson. That's Nelson the sailor not the ex President of South Africa. I suspect most of you thought Nelson's column was in Trafalgar square.

    I've sailed to the Solent from Brighton, Newhaven and Shoreham hundreds of times and back in all sorts of boats for the past fifty years.
