    two very good films out now

    Zone of Interest and All Of Us Strangers. They both moved me like a good film should do. I recommend you see them on the big screen. Both exceptional.

    Christmas on the wagon

    anyone having a go this year? I'm trying just to see if I can but it's making me realize how much alcohol is a part of our culture, especially at this time of year. People buy you booze as well, which is an extra challenge. Anyway, let's hope the wheels don't fall off. Any advice as the...

    Christmas and alcohol

    the associations between Christmas and alcohol consumption are quite a challenge for those trying to give up, like me. I've tried to give up completely this year ( to see if I could) but must admit it's tough especially when socializing and everyone seems to be off their faces. Like smoking, I...

    What makes you grumpy?

    My grumpy season has arrived. It started last night as the first bangs of bonfire night made my dog go apesh*t. Then there's the really annoying US import of Halloween and the kids going crazy for it and the dog going even more crazy as the door starts banging. Then there's the talking ape down...

    militant cyclists

    Anyone had any encounters with these? I've just been sent pictures from the Northumberland police taken by a cyclist following his mate who is also on a bike. The alleged offence is that I didn't give him 1.5 m space when overtaking down quite a narrow lane. If you look at the pictures I've...

    getting ear drops in a dog's ear?

    I know, it's not the most interesting subject, but now i have these ear drops at a special rip-off price from the vets I can't get them in my dog's ear (they need to go in for 5 consecutive days). He just won't have it. He's quite a big strong wolf-type mixed breed rescue dog and a bit...

    cost of medication from vets

    Anyone been shocked by rip-off price of medication from vets? I was charged £45 for a small bottle of ear drops (£12 on-line) and £28 for two sedatives (about 30p each on line). The whole consultation cost £130 for 20 minutes and the vet couldn't even look in my dog's ear because he growled at...

    parking motorhome near ground

    anyone know a safe street to park a motorhome this Saturday within walking distance of ground? It's an old one with no power steering so needs a bit of space. Quiet residential street would be good (Mrs and dog will stay in it if it doesn't stop raining). Thanks.

    Dental implants anyone?

    Anyone had them? I think I need 4 or 5 so my gnashers do their job properly. Now weighing up the pros and cons of having a 'dental holiday' to Slovakia because it's cheaper there. My dentist quoted me a minimum of £1800 each whereas abroad the price seems more reasonable. I can't afford nearly...
