Hi, I would like to take item 5. Ry Cooder - Borderline, please.

I’m sorry but this just sounds like a horrific accident just waiting to happen. I recall being in a similar situation some years ago and purchased a decent brand (e.g Wolff) of extendable handle garden shears. A quick burst of ‘gardening’ (e.g. 45 mins or so of hacking away at anything in my...

PM sent.

I recall having a conversation with a friend on this subject in about 2013 or so. I ventured that “The UK is finished…”, and my friend (about ten years older than me with a son at University at that time), sharply disagreed with my assessment. Looking at things from the current vantage point in...

Blimey - at £185 for a pre order of the three album box set from Diverse Vinyl (release date: 28-07-2023) - it’s a hard pass from me, I’m afraid….

‘RARE LP Record Collection 117 piece Prog Rock Acid Folk/Metal vinyl job lot’ video here (available for sale on eBay as a single lot with a starting bid at £30,000 - although offers are being entertained). Worth watching in full just for the fabulous ly clean condition of the records and sleeves...

My vote goes to Vaillant. Replaced my ancient (maybe 20 year old) Baxi boiler with a Vaillant condensing model 6 or so years ago and there was an immediate, and very noticeable improvement in the warmth of my house (using the exact same thermostat settings). No noticeably higher energy bills...

Wimpy is still going strong in my native, Northwest London! Great branches in Wembley Park, Eastcote and Ruislip, although the menu prices have certainly risen noticeably so in more recent years (as has, to be fair, the decor). Does anyone here remember a similar UK burger chain called...

My Miele went unfixable, after providing faultless service for 13 or so years, back in November 2020. The independent repair engineer that attended has been around these machines all of his working life (guy was maybe in his late 50’s or early 60’s). When I asked him what his recommendation...

Forgot to add that JL are looking to repurpose their old Watford Trewins store into build-to-let, residential flats (no doubt furnished with JL furniture)!

I also received the same email from JL. I’ve been an ultra loyal, JL customer for decades, and simply wouldn’t consider shopping elsewhere for our household electrical items plus furniture and mattresses, etc. In recent years my rock solid faith in JL has been tested by their programme of store...

I’m so sick and tired of all this Tory corruption and sleaze that I don’t even want to see their faces any more in the newspapers… These people are just getting away with it all and laughing at us poor mugs. Just laughing at us!!!!!

Richard Thompson at The Palladium In London on 2nd November. Richard was in solo mode and particularly fine form throughout. Richard was joined by a female vocalist, Zara Philips from ‘Wheel of Death’ onwards. Good mix of songs and anecdotes from throughout his storied career, plus of course he...
