Re: WW2 service records
It has just taken about 16 months but a bit of good news for today. I had an email from the National Archives with a link to download my dads service records. 37 pages in total, some repeated information and interesting reading. I have lots of dates that I can apply to his six and bit years service ...

Re: MEDICAL MATTERS
Medical stuff started for me at 4.30am this morning. Not me but the realisation that Sally had fallen down the stairs shortly after getting up to go to the loo! I heard the crash and a roaring noise which turned out to be the Shark vaccuum cleaner that she had landed on at the bottom of the stairs w...

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
Saw a report that the RAC are lobbying government to reinstate the hard shoulder on all "smart" motorways. This after the government has scrapped the project and abandoned further work on any further roll out due to the public's mistrust in the the technology. Obvious next step and to be w...

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
Apparently we despatched RAF fighters to deal with them, which is even more scary. Iran is not allowed to defend itself or respond to attack!

Re: TIZER'S SCIENCE NEWS
Depends on the size of the vessel and what it is made of, (which as Peter says should be identical for a true result) and any container in the microwave is likely to be much smaller and not made of metal like a pan on the hob. Sorry but a feeling is not good enough for a proper test.

Re: POLITICS CORNER
I note that Rayner says that if found guilty she will resign...... I suppose that's meant to reassure us, she wouldn't say that if she was guilty. Another thing that I have only heard mentioned once regarding this and something I am aware of. Breaches of electoral rules have to be prosecuted or dea...

So, unlike Israel, Iran does not have the right to defend itself. Despite the IDF committing genocide in Gaza.

My dad used to have a couple on his allotment. I seem to remember a spray head fitting for one which he use for treating his tomato plants in the greenhouses.

When we visited during our bucket and spade holiday up that way, they both wanted to do the broom riding training that was offered. That was until they called out ...
Re: GOOD TV
It's not but you have to to find out if they are any good. We have watched all of "This Town", loosely based on the rise of SKA & 2 Tone music around Coventry and Birmingham in the early 80's. We are currently watching series 2 of "Traces" on BBC1.

I doubt if they could do 3 x 6 hour naps. When you think that it is only just over 100 years since the first 12 second flight at Kitty Hawk, it's amazing the speed of innovation. Two World Wars helped in that respect of course.

Re: Boiled Fruit Cake
It's proper with one extra comment despite having 1 hour 20 it could still have done with another 10 minutes. Of course, could be our oven or the shelf setting. It's fully cooked and but could have done with being a bit firmer in the centre. Learning curve for me as I don't normally do big cakes. :e...

Re: DIALECT AND WORD MEANINGS
What rankles me is the insistence of sticking an R in many perfectly good and already pronounceable words such as MASTER , CASTLE etc. There is no R in either example and many more that gets the treatment. It normally seems to automatically follow an A which in my book is pronounced Ah not Ar. :dont...
