My mum lived close to Brian May's daughter and knew her quite well. I met her a few times and she never mentioned her dad.

I've had a Seat Leon Plug-In Hybrid for the past 3 years and I'm really happy with it. It helps that I can plug it in at home. I do 90% of my driving, mostly local, on electric.

As someone who has a blood cancer I think it there can be massive future benefits in individual treatment paths. For the most part now the path is the same for everyone largely on a try it and see if it works basis but it is a highly varied and personalised illness. The ability to manipulate...

It was 71 and was around 20p as a child.

If I can do it easily I change the subject. Next would be to say we'll have to agree to differ. I usually only engage if they start going on about vaccines and how we should eat nuts rather than have medicines as that nonsense can kill people.

Cats of course, in case mine reads this. I used to say this when faced with what animal would you want to be question. Not sure about being hunted but spending all day floating around while the food just flows in sounds OK.

My parent's song. We played the Andy Williams version at mum's funeral 4 years ago. My dad joined the Diplomatic service shortly after they were married and so 'two drifters off to see the World' had a special meaning for them.

I think we'll see a land grab from Putin to establish the borders which Ukraine will have no choice but to accept as the US withdraws support. Putin will bathe in the glory of victory and wait and watch NATO be weakened before he makes his next move. We could also see a situation where the...

Sorry error in the post

I remember the days before segregation when it was totally normal to be standing in the South Stand next to an away team supporter. Yes, there was a lot of trouble in those days, and there were definitely clubs and grounds that were exceptions, but what you don't hear is that most people got on...

Dexy's Dance Stance was a reading list. Also the Clash introduced me to Montgomery Clift.

Repairing scratches on a car, even very small ones.

Ok, I think my wording should have been that we scaled it up to a previously unforeseen level and turned it into a national business model. However your example shows how impossible it would be to assess compensation on anything like an individual level.

I agree that looking forward and practical action is much more important than tokenism. The point that what I was trying to make is that slave trade had major economic and social impacts on the countries involved that continue to this day and I think it is important that we recognise this. An...

Absolutely, the biggest compensation scheme in our history. Except it excluded the real victims. We wouldn't have become the world's leading industrial nation without the slave trade. The structure of it ensured that countries like Jamaica would never have an opportunity to develop as we did...

I've had a Seat Leon plug-in hybrid for 3 years and I love it and do 90% of my driving locally on electric. I can plug in at home and with a good range, better charging facilities and reasonable prices I would go fully EV next time.

I quite like Zeppelin's Presence but it's always near the bottom of any ranking.

I was very much in favour and as someone with incurable, but not yet terminal, cancer this may become a very real issue with me. I have voted don't know and would probably vote yes if pushed but would want to see the detail first. My concerns have been raised by the way I have seen some...

My Mum chose the music from Schindlers List for hers. I don't think she got the crematoria connection and just liked the tune. It was the only one of her selections that I veto'ed.

My brother in law took this view and didn't want any kind of event. He died 3 years ago of cancer and his partner refused to hold any kind of ceremony. I think this made it harder for his close friends and family to deal with the grieving process as they never felt they had the chance to say...
