I'll be doing that on Saturday. My weapon of choice:

No cables! According to the advertising blurb, it's "More interesting than a...

It was reported today that Conservative MP Mark Menzies has been threatened by the Met Office that unless he pays them £5,000 we will be in for a rubbish summer.

Just as bad up here - strong winds have blown all the cherry blossoms off the tree, and so now the petals are all stuck to the Volvo which now looks like it's moonlighting as a wedding car. And the...

I have this mate/occasional work colleague who likes a good conspiracy theory. Yesterday he was wondering why the government aren't doing anything about the shocking weather, like they did for the...

Nice. I feel a "Rickie Lee Jones day" coming on :) I have no experience of albums with "Obi strips" on them - do they tend to be better pressings?

With less than 3 days to go, I'm still the highest bidder :(

I can see only one copy of this on Ebay, on offer for over 13 quid, so you did pretty good there :)

Yesterday the gritters went past our house. Surely not. This morning the grass and the cars have a covering of frost, but I do think the council were being over cautious.

We don't live on a main...

That could be a good advertising slogan: "More interesting than mowing the lawn" :)

18 April 1985: Wham! become the first western pop act to release an album in China. And they have been exacting...

I trust your judgement Barry. Plenty of other records and CDs out there that need buying :) I don't tend to be disappointed much when I don't win an auction, but often I am after I win :doh:

I know he might be best known for his "Miami Vice" work, but seeing him mentioned here reminds me I used to have a live album that pre-dated that, by him and Jeff Beck many years ago. I seem to...

Good one Adrian. I too got this cheap, at a car boot a couple of years ago. Having heard it I would happily have paid more. How does this compare with the other one you were playing recently?

Ah I didn't know that, makes complete sense.

Something else to consider, regarding the semi in pic 1 (1930s pre-war), also Victorian and Edwardian semis in general: The chimneys could be put next...

On this day 1964, The Rolling Stones release their debut album, called "The Rolling Stones".

Also, Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham is 50 today.

I'd like to think he did :D We have it so easy with modern indoor plumbing.

Grandads were the best for toilet humour. Two of my grandad's favourites:

One night he woke up with a desperate urge...

Lego petrol stations will no longer have pumps, just charging points. So yeah, yours would be worth a few bob now. Might still be worth getting a 'Lego ev station' and putting it away until after the...

I recognise the layout from the outside view. Walking through the front door you'll have a small wc and washbasin to the right, and a long narrow hallway leading to lounge on the left, stairs on the...

That looks pretty tidy, and a decent size for a new 'un. Ok it's a semi, but they have thoughtfully built it with the front doors together, which means the lounges (listening rooms :)) are at the...

Sticking with the letter 'M', who do I follow Madonna with? Metallica of course :)

Wow, a lot of things happened on 15 April.

I wonder what a fiver could have bought in 1793? More than a sausage barm and a can of pop no doubt.

16 April 1943 - Swiss chemist Dr Albert Hofmann...

Where's yer van? Or is it like a lot of places, where using the bus is cheaper than city centre parking?

£925 per month does sound pretty good for city centre accommodation - we pay about £150...
