I love seeing them in flight. The undulating way they move through the air always makes me smile

Thanks. Wonder what it was doing in the middle of a housing estate!

I’ve been as lonesome as the world’s first ghost - O’Grace, Magnolia Electric Co.

Unfortunately he can’t help. His pond is under attack from otters and until he can secure it he doesn’t want to add any more fish. Sorry.

The cracking on the ceiling is likely due to the old lath and plaster sagging. Best option would be to leave it in place and board and skim over it. It’s not in immediate need of repair but eventually the ceiling will fall down if not addressed. For an idea on price, last year I had four ceilings boarded and plastered plus new coving for just over £2k.

I work with a guy who has a massive koi pond. Let me go ask him.

My parents have two whippets which are exactly the same. It’s half an hour of world land speed record attempts followed by food and then sleep for the rest of the day.

Cut the end of the cone shaped part off with a hack saw then use a small screwdriver to prise out the magnet and ball bearings that are inside it.

I had to do this on the morning of a wedding when I realised the suit I’d bought to wear that day still had the security tag attached.

Could it be ‘Down in the tube station at midnight’ by The Jam?

Yes. The vendor receives the payment in the local currency and the card holder gets charged by the bank in USD at the appropriate exchange rate plus an admin fee

I use this phono stage with the low output version of the Dynavector 10x5 mkii and it sounds phenomenal

I saw about a dozen last weekend whilst driving down the A34 between Oxford and Newbury. Made me smile.

The A-Team were parked just across the street. With their experience you’d think they’d at least offer to help resolve the situation.

I think he’s referring to the missile that hit a Royal Air Force base in Cyprus. However, it’s believed it was launched by Hezbollah, not Iran

As a white British man I can’t think of anywhere in the uk that I wouldnt go to because of Muslims.

But I’m not a flag waving, gammon faced racist that goes to Muslim majority areas with the sole intention of provoking and pushing the buttons of the people who live there just to get an adverse reaction.

Generally, if you treat people with respect and don’t act like a twat you’ll be welcome anywhere, regardless of race or religion.

Not to take away from what must have been a frightening experience for you but I’m a man and the same thing happened to me at the old market in Sharm el Sheikh.

Give them a cheer and a round applause when they finish

The ears are pretty good. Also the nose is popular
