Happy birthday, blurred I gave up thinking about birthdays years ago. I've finally managed to get my children to ignore mine - thank heavens. Now I'm working on Christmas. After all, what's a birthday anyway? Just another number on the odometer of life, that's what. I adopted the old adage 'you're ...

Hello, Gertie. When you said 'get more people to work from home' I thought you meant transport them. That's not a bad idea (my misinterpretation I mean) provided that they have a significant number of employees. Many years ago I worked in Sydney for a bank. For a pretty long period we had transport ...

Here the general usage is BLT, though some use BLD. It's rare for 'dinner' to be used to describe a midday meal. 'Trousers', 'pants', 'strides', 'daks' (or dacks), 'slacks' for two (long) legged apparel. Knickers are ladies underwear but, not being an expert in the field, I can say little other than...

The best work experience is real work. Weekends or whenever you can fit it in to your arduous study schedule. The bonus is that you get paid for having fun. The down side of that is of course that you do have to work and take responsibility for your efforts. I used to own a shop and when work experi...

Re: Samhater's grand day out
We raised a glass to our ardent supporter absent friends from afar, Dujon, Monty, Faninoz and American Trotter etc and it was another grand day. :mrgreen: If you think that entitles you to some sort of pint sized refund, TANGO, you are dreaming. :D Thanks for the thoughts. It's good to see you all ...

To answer your question, TANGO, I have no idea. What brings people to perpetrate such heinous acts is beyond my comprehension. One can, to an extent, understand inter-gang wars where guns are used and even the odd crime passionel , but this sort of premeditated slaughter is totally alien to me. Fort...

Thanks, CAPSLOCK. That'd be down towards Lea Gate then (left hand side heading to Bolton proper). There used to be a farm there in my day; Schofield's if memory serves me correctly (and well might not). Mind you, my old school has also been demolished *sob*. It used to stand on the other side of Lon...

Your first one, Crayons? Blimey you've been lucky. My first one came by postal mail some 10 or 12 years ago - all TYPED IN CAPS - . . . Hmm. Since then I've had numerous versions arrive by post and by e-mail. Surely they can't still be getting gullible people to respond to these things? I must admit...

Ta, CAPSLOCK. I hadn't realised ('cos I'd never thought about it) that Humbrol and Airfix were one and the same. It makes sense I guess. I've still got a few cans of paint somewhere - no doubt if I dig them out they'll rattle if shaken. It will be interesting to see who owns the moulds and their des...

That's a darn shame, ratbert; thanks for the notification. I hope that the administrators can find a way to trade the company out of its problems as it would be a shame to see what to me is an icon of the genre disappear forever. Perhaps some enterprising person will bid for the moulds if they have ...
