  1. When e did our wills we found a solicitors who did the job for free if you made a modest inclusion to a charity, cost nothing now and £50 when I shuffle off this mortal coil.
  2. I keep forgetting we are trans global and I, for one, hate it when folk just use initials, will try harder next time. An ONC is an Ordinary National Certificate, you then got a Higher National Certificate, then Diplomas Ordinary and higher and then a degree back in the day, now I think degrees come free with a cereal packet. The car company made the huge and lazy mistake of not keeping an eye on those who ran the training, those trainers thought it would look better for them if everyone passed, claiming they had done a good job, with no thought for the consequences of their inactions. Some of those trainees left the company got themselves a job elsewhere, were soon found out and the whole mess blew up in a few embarrassed faces.
  3. Silver machine- Hawkwind(what an awful row it was)
  4. Murder on the dance floor- Sophie Ellis-Bextor
  5. Rant mode................................................ Glasgow University students' anger over reintroduction of in-person exams - BBC News The little darlings want to be able to cheat to get their degree as they have been too busy not working to actually pass an exam. I worked for a Japanese car company as you may know, due to a lack of qualified people applying, they set up their own training school, somehow got accreditation and dished out ONC's to any random that turned up. Consequences were when we got them in the real world, they had no idea what to do, one could not read a 6 inch rule and didn't know how many millimetres there were in a centimetre.
  6. Jumpin' Jack Flash- Those Strolling Bones.........again
  7. Slave to the Rhythm- Grace Jones
  8. Hit me with your rhythm stick- Ian Dury and the Blockheads
  9. I think one of the answers could be "sitting in your seat"..............................................however...................................
  10. Out of time- Chris Farlowe and the Thunderbirds
  11. The Last Time- The Strolling Bones
  12. Is this the right time to point out I have two sheds..............................................................................?
  13. Private Investigations- Dire Straits
  14. Onion seeds that were sown in mid December in cells in a heated propagator are now potted on into old yoghurt pots and the Chillies are now sown in larger cells in the prop, Anaheim, Torro Rosso and Tepepo Rosso to start with.
  15. You'd better add me to the list, I had bacon with Stornoway Black Pudding, that lovely moist and soft pudding, not the dried out minging stuff, so rich and filling it was too.
  16. The Governments Department for Culture, Media and Sport: were supposedly looking into the RFU after the collapse of the three premiership clubs, however I would not hold my breath waiting for anything to be reported or any action. If all the affiliated clubs were to vote them off at an EGM, then we could start again with proper governance.
  17. Can't buy me love- The Fabs..............................................oops sorry
  18. That would kill the game stone dead, no clubs would get any financial support for it and the RFU are losing money so cannot afford to finance it. The re-boot needs to begin at the top, total clear out of the Twickenham mafia, they are total failures, when England were world champions there was talk of the RFU driving the game forward and increasing it's popularity, failed on every count, all the players and clubs are doing their best but incompetence and mis management is killing the sport.
  19. England were run into the ground by Eddie Jones, whether that was incompetence or getting his own back for 2003, I'll let you decide, but re starting from scratch is not going to happen overnight. England have some excellent players coming through the academies, whether we have the coaches to get the best out of them is open for debate, but ex England coaches are doing the business elsewhere, so have the RFU been constantly getting it wrong since 2003, the evidence points to them being the common denominator here. Take away the salary cap for example and English clubs could compete with any club in europe, they are hamstringing themselves, but if we are not careful, English rugby could end up like Scottish soccer, basically only two teams competing for the trophies and the National football team wins nothing.
  20. I don't class fishing as a sport, but there are plenty of parts of it that fit your criteria, the World Marlin Championship fits all of those, but then there are some who think Sheep Dog Trials are a sport as well and shooting clay pigeons(which is an Olympic "sport")
  21. Diamonds in the soles of her shoes-Paul Simon
