Just back from a pharmacy in Mushrif Mall with a bottle of horse tablets (Glucosamine + Chondroitin). Not cheap here in the UAE. Will give them a go. Weather is hazy but warm. If I notice improvement with these, I'll sort some out once back home when these are finished. No VOIP allowed in the UAE so...

As some of you may know I'm a Geordie from South Shields. In my teenage years (The 50's) I and my friends used to go out hiking in the Nothumberland moors at all times of the year and in all weathers. One winter we camped on the top of THE Cheviot hill and woke up to 3 feet of snow on the tents. We ...

The sun is shining here. It is 0C but feels colder because of teh breeze. Snow due later today or tonight depending on which forecast you read. February 40 years ago it was cold and there was a lot of snow. Thankfully we had returned to the Uk from an 18 month posting in the Netherlands. The sno...

It was produced by the defence in a court case a while back to get a woman off from a charge of murdering her husband :lol: :wink: ==

Here's a good one, I've been riding continuously for 42 years, had no claims in the last 20 and I've just been quoted £1098.81 for insurance!!!:( The firm wouldn't accept proof from a classic policy supplier... ...I actually said "Your having a laugh" on the phone to the poor lad... Back to...

And the insurance thing goes on.. ...LV, who do my car quoted £612 BUT... ...they'll accept 5 years NCD and let me protect it, I also get 180 days , that's correct, 6 MONTHS cover abroad and a lower excess! Might be worth it as next year I can look around with a better NCD and know it'll be...

Isn't 6 years the maximum NCD. That's usually all they will show on the renewal notice even if you have 20 :shock: I once made a mistake telling a new insurance company company the true figure of 20. They then asked for proof, but the renewal said 6. Luckily I had paperwork going back the 20 so I se...

...as for wives, mine bought me this a few years back... .. Mine hung a different poster, but with the same message, in the bedroom a few years ago! Took it down when I redecorated the room - and she now sleeps in the front bedroom because, being a Type 1 diabetic, she has to wake up a lot at n...

Tell her to get a cat. Having had four cats (none ATM), the "problem" can be that they ALSO catch and then bring other "things" indoors, like: - rats (ours' didn't - but next door's did) - 3rd cat dragged a fully-grown blackbird in alive and then it crawled under a big armchair and died - only ...

"Computer life" is baaa....d at the moment!! My N4620G nettop is, I think, a laptop-based motherboard in a mains-powered very SFF chassis, and has been working fine for a long time, and even over last night and for most of today. BUT, then, having left it ON but not in use for a few hours, I n...

Today was an epiphany of sorts. Being self employed I had planned to gradually wind down to a semi-retirement in the not too distant future but events seem to have decided for me. Until Christmas I was flat out as usual but afterwards was like the tap suddenly turned off. Still a dribble of work but...

His Nibs retired officially as he had to at 65 and one month. He went back to work as a freelancer for the same company, at nearly twice the salary, on the following Monday. It took him another three years to really just about stop, but he only wound up his company at the end of last year. I suspect...
