It's one of those I'm bored threads. Let's start with the most obvious....

I'm off sick at the moment and have far too much time on my hands. Top 100 viewed Rock songs on Youtube (Rock maybe a loose term with some of these...coldplay?)

After months of feeling bloated, acid reflux, gas and heartburn I had an endoscope and it found I have a 2cm sliding hiatus hernia. I'm on PPIs and and Gaviscon, but I don't really want to be taking these daily for the rest of my life. Anyone here had a hiatus hernia for a while? If so any...

Frasier is my favourite ever comedy...Cheers a close second. Wasn't sure what to make of the news that a reboot was in the works. Anyway, first two episodes are on Paramount Plus. Mixed reviews, and I'm not impressed so far. With the exception of Grammer and Nic Lyndhurst the characters are...

I love a coffee me. Normally have one when I'm out but not paying Costa prices and Starbucks is terrible imo. Greggs is actually quite good and McDs is decent (esp with a sausage and egg McMuffin). Anyway, at home I've not a big coffee drinker as it gives me acid so I'm not paying for expensive...

Imo one of the best American TV shows of the last few years. Reminds me of The X Files and/or Fringe but with a horror tilt not science fiction. Great performances especially by Michael Emerson and lead actress Katja Herbens is very easy on the eyes. Clever writing by the same creators as The...

5 months ago my stomach felt very inflamed (maybe Gastritis), which lead onto lots of Gas and Bloating. Constant burping. At it's worse I got Heart palpations due to all the trapped gas (which my GP told me is fairly common). I've been put on a PPI and taking antacids but it's still not...

Our power went off last night. Lights were fine but everything plugged into a socket went off. The master switch just kept going back down when I kept moving it back to the on position. I turned everything off room by room and back on. Isolated the issue to the kitchen area. Everything went...

Long story... Moved home a few years ago. Found loads of issues that the survey hadn't picked up (they made excuses about access). Main issues was lots of mould. We had planned a redesign of the property later on but because of the issues decided to bring it forward. Problem was it was over...

I work from home and I'm trying to work out ways of keeping the energy prices down. Obviously I try to keep the central heating off as long as possible. No point in heating the house when it's just me working on my laptop in the living room. So it's either the gas fire or a couple of electric...

To this day I find what happened sad and in disbelief that it was allowed to happen. Made in 1982 the movie based on the TV series was spilt into four different segments, each directed by a famous director. John Landis director of The Blues Brothers, Animal House, Trading Places, American...

Always look on the bright side....North Korean version.

With our first defeat of the season and the World generally going to s*it, I thought I would post some uplifting songs. But I'm more of an Emo, so he's some sad songs instead. Feel free to join in with the "fun". First off, My Only Crime by The Raphaels. This was Stuart Adamson's final album...

I'm trying to get a passport fast. Old one run out a few years ago but need to travel in a months time (long story). The one week fast track service doesn't have any appointments in Durham anytime soon. The more expensive 1 day premium service does, but I'm confused about the phone situation...

Today's useless information is brought to you by Wiki. Some figures are estimated as it would take someone a very long time to count all the people. Top 10 Paid concerts: Christina Aguilera - Rabat - 2016 - 250,000 in attendence. Vassco Rossi - Modena - 2017 - 225,000 Bijelo Dugme - Belgrade...

Rock, Hard Rock and Metal. A purely subjective list complied by Loudwire magazine. Male: 1. Freddie Mercury - Queen 2. Bruce Dickenson - Iron Maiden 3. Robert Plant - Led Zep 4. Rob Halford - Judas Priest 5. Ronnie James Dio - Black Sabbath/Rainbow/Dio 6. Iggy Pop - The Stooges 7. Ozzy...

Interesting list. Very American-centric, and obviously the albums released in the first 10 years of this century had an advantage as sales were stronger before streaming took off. 1. 21 - Adele 2. Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park 3. The Eminem Show - Eminem 4. Come Away with Me - Norah Jones 5. 25 -...

I did this a couple of years back, but now football is over and I'm bored I'm doing it again. Feel free to join in with my boredom! To start: Disturbed's cover of Sound of Silence:

Next year I will be 55 and retired. I will have access to my SIPP which I've been paying £240 a month in (topped up to £300 with tax relief) for about 20 years. The pot is not as big as my other tax efficient savings that I have in Cash and S&S ISAs. When I'm retired I won't have any income...

For some reason I got into my head that today was the 20th anniversary of Stuart's death. But it was actually on the 16th. 20 years...how time flies. In memory: We're not in Kansas. Lyrics are as relevant today as ever. What did you learn in school today Did you learn to run when the...
