Its the weekend, we all need a Mickey-take, right? So here's me taking the uric acid out of myself... Scenario: I went to my GP with knee pain and she - after an x-ray - said: "osteo-arthritis, two of three joint compartments compromised; new knee inside 10 years, go see the physio's in the...

I moved to a wee town in the north-east in early October and did my homework on broadband/costs/distance from enabled exchange etc etc, yada, yada. We were well inside the five miles quoted from the exchange, but also sufficiently far from it not to have old copper lines. Talktalk went 'live'...

Hello, fellow lignin-sculpting addicts. I am moving from Belfast to the east coast of Northumbria in about 6-8 weeks. I have the usual hand tools (read one supermarket delivery lorry 'cage') and a 6' bench that weighs about 0.25 tonne, as it has two commercial weaving loom frame-ends as...

I am sure this is not news to some: I purchased four items (no details, Mods don't allow specifics) but was sent four similar, BUT DIFFERENTLY FITTING items...they are therefore useless to me. The photos and descriptions are for the items I DO need, but do not match the items I was...
