We have call screening and the telephone preference registration but these are coming from new numbers all the time and are international and therefore not covered by TPS.

Nice try Wendy, but no.

Having read today's Bob's Bits I had to look up `armigerous': `..entitled to use a heraldic achievement (e.g., bear arms, an "armour-bearer") either by hereditary right, grant, matriculation, or assumption of arms. Such a person is said to be armigerous.' (Wikipedia). Other reading forced me to look...

At that rate it'll be free by March! :smile: We've had more scam calls. A repeat of this mornings Amazon Prime call and two which flash up as International but show an 0203 number. A quick web search showed lots of folk are getting scam calls with London numbers but come from overseas due to spoofin...

Good thinking! But nowt to do with those...

Rebecca Long-Bailey has moved into the lead in the latest poll for the Labour leadership. BBC featured Keir Starmer tonight on the National News. It will be interesting to see who they feature next. Quoted as `..with the knife-edge final run-off putting her on 51%, ahead of 49% for Sir Keir'. Has a...

The Indonesia figures surprised me too. Also, the information shows how coal production, consumption, import and export is complicated and difficult to disentangle with respect to emissions etc.

Another strange and dangerous weather phenomenon is the lightning that bounces and kills someone miles away from the thunderstorm. That reminds me, did you see the news story the other day of the big chemical plant explosion in Tarragona, Spain? Two men were killed. One was at the plant, the other w...

Just had a scam call from a recorded woman's voice telling me that my Amazon Prime account is about to be terminated. Press 1 to speak to a member of Amazon's staff. More likely press 1 to get all my personal details scammed!

What strikes me is that if an amateur like me can see this clearly, why couldn't the doctors do the same thing? As I mentioned above, they've been blinded by the smokescreen of apparently technical information put out by the pharma companies, so much that (conveniently for the companies) our busy, ...

The great thing about bleach is that bacteria and viruses can't develop resistance to it!

I agree with your conclusion about intimidation, Plaques. It's the same with tail-gating. Mini-roundabouts are also a problem, especially ones at T junctions on main roads. A Y layout is better but with the T layout there's a tendency for drivers on the cross bar of the T shape, where it has a road ...

In the UK is correct and it would have been a public (council) building originally (but not Library or Council Offices). Not a lecture hall and not involved with education. As for the windows, it's an early 19th Century building but the whole of the frontage was given new windows to give a unified a...

.. Someone put another up!

OK, where and what is this building?

Mrs Tiz suggests it's something to do with the dairy - put ice in the tubes then lower it into the milk to cool it.

Going on from Gloria's suggestion, how about a `hot seat' for use in cold weather? You pour hot water into the tubes then sit on it! (well, it was just a thought!).
Or is it an early prototype Slush Puppy maker?

Happy Birthday, Sue, and Happy 50th Engagement Anniversary too!

Great poem, Plaques, well done.

The continuing fires in Australia and Scott Morrison refusing to believe climate change is happening prompted me to look in more detail. at the country's production and export of coal. It led me to the web site of the Reserve Bank of Australia and this page which has a large amount of economic data ...

In Iran the man who shot the video of the missile hitting the plane has been arrested and `will face charges related to national security'. Iran

GPs are subjected to a flood of marketing literature from the pharma companies, often camouflaged to look like scientific information and advice. They see this rather than the science behind the new drugs. The companies often tell us that their drugs are so expensive because of the high cost of rese...

Sweeps up horse dung from the streets? Mind you, with a bowler hat on he might be one of those millionaires that don't let on that's what they are!
