I generally like the ambience of Costa and do not object significantly to their around about £3 for a massive white Americano - appreciate that they supply newspapers to read.

For me, the only use for half and half was in White Russians.

Up here north of the border we live by the adage: 'Ne'er cast a clout till May be out'

T'were only after I posted that I noted the thread to which I was trying to respond was the 'Announcements' forum. I did of course realise that 'gothic' was a nomme de plume but could not resist a wee bit mischief. Remember the Pirates of Penzance - 'Peers will be peers and youth will have...

Noted thread titled 'Software Update' by some character Gothic. Maybe I have been dozing but who is this Gothic character? Tried to reply to his thread and got this off-putting message: "Big Unc, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons...

Used to live near Worplesdon towards the end of my school-days. Before reaching the illustrious age of 18 it was not unknown for me to indulge in the odd pint of mild and bitter. (Is that combination still drunk anywhere these days?) There was an excellent, well enclosed bus stop on the...

I had not got around to purchasing the latest DVD set so I took advantage. Many thanks for the feed.

Quite right. Looked at it all again in slow time on DVD. I had not factored in that after going through door in living room they had to turn right through ninety degrees to go down steps. Puzzled a bit that on Howard's side of wall there was a discontinuity not there on Clegg's side but...
