I must be the exception that proves the rule. I haven't analysed why but I have given up on watching fictional series, at least for the most part. I'm not a prude but I dislike excess sex or sex for sex's sake. Similarly I dislike violence and violence for violence's sake. I find that many of the se...

I was about to go to the hairdresser when the ban came in. Grrrrrrr! Unfortunately, it was already six weeks long! I thought to hell with it and decided to do nothing until such time as my barber can accommodate me. This does not seem to be very likely in the near future, especially as he offers me ...

Maybe you should read what Mr Bumble said about the law in Oliver Twist?

I believe that it is possible but there are strict rules as to the type of envelope used to contain the bills, along with a detailed accounting of each denomination of note and cheque. Ask your bank manager!

Everybody is an expert on their personal diet.

I must admit that I would be a lot happier if the Cyprus airports were totally closed until, say, October. I know this is a pipe dream, but…

Everybody is congratulating you, almost as if you had anything to do with it yourself – well, you may have done generationally donkey's years ago, but today? Anyway, when you get the opportunity to enjoy a little cuddle, do it!

I never was a good typist. I began to explore speech recognition in the early 1990s with an IBM system that came on about 30 floppy disks. In time, as the technology improved, so did my adoption of it, so that I used it for long articles by the late 1990s. Around 2004, I suffered a couple of minor s...

To divert the thread, my first one was a GBP40 1936 Hillman Minx which had a 1200 cc side valve engine and reached 63 mph going downhill with a following wind along the military road between Corbridge and Newcastle. Before that, I had a GBP25 250 cc 1932 Royal Enfield bike, also side valve, in Cambr...

Well said! However, in the 23 years I have been living here, this is the first time that the government has shown that it has spherical objects!

Sorry to butt in, my view is that normal eating, three times a day, is the most healthy option on condition that it is done within moderation. A bit over a year ago I was decidedly overweight at about 93 kg. Without changing my diet or my way of snacking, but only the quantity, I'm now a healthier 8...

My daughter and grandson live in Switzerland and my granddaughter in France. It seems unlikely that we shall see any of them, possibly before the autumn. However, Skype does help the problem, although we have been getting a lot of problems with it recently.
