  1. Spelling is wrong ,you're missing an "N". The place is up for sale >> http://www.hallsgb.com/news/llanbry-station have not found anything on names so far.
  2. People always forget that their GP's surgery will have Health Visitors. HV are not just for babies and the elderly they are there to support everyone and they have all the knowledge and contacts you could ask for .
  3. Not so ,trueCall excells in blocking unwanted international calls, it is one of the reasons I use it. We were getting dozens of foreign calls a week especially very late at night, none of them ever get far enough to make the phone ring now.
  4. Best reply here. Get a trueCall unit and say goodbye to ALL unwanted calls, instantly. trueCall has got to be the best thing I bought in years, it is an awesome bit of kit....... even the w*nkers at SKY have given up trying to get through.
  5. A beautiful fairy appeared one day to an immigrant claimant outside the Social Security Offices. 'My good man,' the fairy said, 'I've been told to grant you three wishes, Since you've just arrived in England with your wife and seven children.' The man told the fairy: 'Well, where I come from we don't have good teeth, so I want new teeth, maybe a lot of gold in them.' The fairy looked at the man's almost toothless grin and -- PING !!! He had a brand new shining set of gold teeth in his mouth! 'What else?' asked the fairy, 'two, more wishes, to go'. The refugee claimant now got bolder. 'I need a big house with a three car garage in Birmingham with eight bedrooms for my family and the rest of my refugee relatives who still live in my country. I want to bring them all over here. PING ! - In the distance there could be seen a beautiful mansion with a three car garage, a long driveway, a walkout patio with a BBQ, and a sparkling swimming pool and a BMW, full of his nephews playing their music. 'One more wish left for you', said the fairy, waving her wand. I want to be English with English clothes instead of rags, and shawl and I want to have white skin like the English.' PING ! - The man was transformed, wearing worn out jeans from ASDA, a dirty Primark T-shirt and a greasy baseball cap. He had his bad teeth back and the mansion had disappeared from the horizon. 'What happened to my new teeth?' he wailed. 'Where is my new house? Where's my Visa Gold Card?' The fairy said. . 'Tough luck. Now that you are English, you're entitled to sod all like the rest of us. And she disappeared !
  6. I have never found a comparison site that is not way more expensive for an often lesser policy. I have used Lifesure .co.uk for the last 7 years and the premiums are extremely good. My road tax and fully protected comp. insurance are under £350 for the year.
  7. Leave them Bee sorry, seriously though they are getting to be rare now and need all the help they can get, they really are best left alone.
  8. Sorry to hear this, it's not a great decision to have to make and always upsetting.
  9. Yes, it is just you Perhaps if you learned how to use it first? You cannot possibly have read all the features and instructions or viewed the video "how to's". IE9 works fine with Briskoda and there are compatibility settings on board for sites that don't work so well.
  10. Sorry to hear your news Bryan,thinking of you and your family.
  11. :dull: it's supposed to be a bit of fun but as usual you have your head so far up your arse you can't see that.
  12. TESTICULATING Waving your arms around and talking b*ll*cks. SEAGULL MANAGER A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything and then leaves. SALMON DAY The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get screwed and die. CUBE FARM An office filled with cubicles. PRAIRIE DOGGING When someone yells or drops something loudly in a cube farm and people's heads pop up over the walls to see what's going on. (This also applies to applause for a promotion because there may be cake.) SALAD DODGER An excellent phrase for an overweight person. PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE The fine art of whacking the cr*p out of an electronic device to get it to work again. OH-NO SECOND That minuscule fraction of time in which you realize that you've just made a BIG mistake. (e.g. You've hit 'reply all')... MILLENNIUM DOMES The contents of a Wonderbra, i..e. Extremely impressive when viewed from the outside but there's actually naught in there worth seeing. MONKEY BATH A bath so hot, that when lowering yourself in, you go: 'Oo! Oo! Oo! Aa! Aa! Aa!'. MYSTERY BUS The bus that arrives at the pub on Friday night while you're in the toilet after your 10th pint and whisks away all the unattractive people so the pub is suddenly packed with stunners when you come back in. TART FUEL Bottled premixed spirits, regularly consumed by young women. TRAMP STAMP Tattoo on a female.
  13. Dear Prime Minister, Mr. Cameron, Please find below our suggestion for fixing the UK economy. Instead of giving billions of pounds to banks that will squander the money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan: There are about 10 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them £1 million each severance for early retirement with the following stipulations: 1) They MUST retire. Ten million job openings - unemployment fixed 2) They MUST buy a new British car. Ten million cars ordered - Car Industry fixed 3) They MUST either buy a house or pay off their mortgage - Housing Crisis fixed 4) They MUST send their kids to school/college/university - Crime rate fixed 5) They MUST buy £100 WORTH of alcohol/tobacco a week ..... And there's your money back in duty/tax etc It can't get any easier than that! P.S. If more money is needed, have all members of parliament pay back their falsely claimed expenses and second home allowances If you think this would work, please forward to everyone you know. Also..... Let's put the pensioners in jail and the criminals in a nursing home. This way the pensioners would have access to showers, hobbies and walks. They'd receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs etc and they'd receive money instead of paying it out. They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped instantly, if they fell, or needed assistance. Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed and returned to them. A guard would check on them every 20 minutes and bring their meals and snacks to their cell. They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose. They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counseling, pool and education. Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, PJ's and legal aid would be free, on request. Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard, with gardens. Each senior could have a PC a TV radio and daily phone calls. There would be a board of directors to hear complaints, and the guards would have a code of conduct that would be strictly adhered to. The criminals would get cold food, be left all alone and unsupervised. Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week. Live in a tiny room and pay £600.00 per week and have no hope of ever getting out. Think about this (more points of contention): COWS Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Appleby almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the county of Cumbria? And, they even tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 125,000 illegal immigrants wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Also; Think about this ... If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone -- YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM! It is time for us grumpy old folk of Britain to speak up! Now - where did I put those pills....
  14. The insurance companies are taking the p1ss because the biggest underwriter gave up personal lines insurance so now they all think they do not have to compete. My insurance went down, I avoid all this online and comparison BS and use a damn good broker
  15. I was sorting an issue on a forum today,the membership is mainly female and they often like to take a pop at men in general. The husband of the site owner decided to get his own back and posted these ........... ( he is still alive, just has a pronounced limp )
  16. Never once in 40 years have I been asked to return an old policy document, if it has expired it is useless to anyone.
  17. Bryan I am sorry to read this, you have already taken a huge step just by posting here, many people would not have been able to do that. As has already been said we are all different and handle news like this in different ways,your other family members may well all react differently or in odd ways and that can add to your sorrow as things said and done can seem very odd at this time. All major hospitals have specialist cancer nursing teams that are there for the family as well as the patient and as already suggested call the Macmillan Charity >> http://www.macmillan.org.uk/Home.aspx << they are truly superb and can help your mother and support all your family through this difficult time, they have the experience and practical solutions to help you all through this and beyond when thinking straight is not always possible. I can only add that your love and support will help your mother greatly , all you can do is be there for her,talk to her and let her know she is loved by you and your family.
  18. Interesting decor on your house your friend is Rattus norvegicus http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/gallery/showimage.php?i=46702&c=6

  20. Cover your butt by asking them the question,you get different answers from different insurers.
  21. Amazing people in action http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=Vo0Cazxj_yc&vq=medium
  22. Bankers drafts are often forged or stolen and are subject to the same needs of a credit balance available in the buyers account at the time you present it, you should never part with the goods till the funds are cleared to your account and rapid clearance costs money so be aware if the buyer pushes for that.
  23. I think you have already clearly established your IQ for us This was not your thread, this is a public forum and others were responding to the OP.
