Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
My experience of Staffordshire bull terriers is that they are soft-natured (and always amenable to being stroked, often rolling over for a tummy tickle). Daughter acquired one when she worked as a vet nurse - which completely changed my opinion of the breed. I now approach any Staffie - even those b...

Re: A big undertaking
Cremation funeral services that I have attended have involved a coffin, which may or may not have contained a body. The local crematorium has two chapels a short distance apart, but only one 'active' with an underground 'railway' to transport coffins from one to the other. I believe that bodies (in ...

I didn't realise that Ballarat was still 'active'.
Re: Electric Cars II - Not Silly!
I have recently moved into supported residential care. When I lived independently I was an (avid) recycler - including scavenging litter from the streets. I was puzzled to discover that the refuse from the 'care home' was only collected alternate weeks and all destined for landfill - no recycling. O...

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
When I lived in Somerset we had an underground tank for our sewage. The local farmer would come and pump out the effluent into his tanker and then discharge it onto the land surrounding the nearby reservoir (and fishing lake). After our tank was emptied I was able to enter it via the manhole. Our ta...

Re: Rant of the Day v2.
My son took an estimated £4000 worth of my camera equipment (including a Rolleiflex and a modern Pentax SLR) to a camera shop and received a derogatory sum.
Further equipment was refused as 'they didn't have room for it'.

Re: The really boring and totally pointless snippets thread V
I am 'recovering' from several days of upper respiratory distress (sore throat, sneezing, rattling cough) alleviated by proprietary (pharmacy) linctuses (lintusees?). That sounds miserable.
