Thought the best period of Top Gear was before it became the CLarkson/Hammond/May showcase - the Clarkson reviewing the Rover 800 was brilliant. The first couple of C/H/M seasons were not at all bad, but became so-so after that. Also heard that Hammond was the one most up his own arse. Fifth gear wi...

The bl00dy infamous 20H2 update has screwed up a lot of Windows PCs - including my laptop.

Thankfully all the non-Microsoft Win 10 softwa:re still works ok: - provided Windows still lets me find the attached disk drives, which it now sometimes lets me do.

They couldn't cite him. He got a red last season for a similar tackle on a young Wasps No. 10, and ended up with a ban, albeit much reduced because of him being a good boy who helps old ladies across the road (or something to do with charity work). If he was to go before the beak for a similar tackl...

My best mate had him as Chemistry /rugby master at school in the 1960s.

Ten years ago one of my friends was a police inspector who headed-up the royal events policing at Windor, and told me that even then they were planning for his funeral.

The guy who acted as chairman for many of the meetings was Prince Philip!

I saw at least one game earlier in the season where play got called back a long way to check possible grounding for a try. Play continued after for several phases, and I think might have got up to the other end of the pitch before play stopped and they could review. Turned out a try had been scored...

Brother owns an industrial painting company, and they only use spayers for:
Mist coat over fresh plaster on large areas (e.g. newly plastered industrial units)
Wooden fences
External rendered walls

For everything else they use rollers and brushes

My out and out favourites both rhythm guitarists:
Bruce Welch
Malcolm Young

Of the lead variety:
Angus

However my guilty secret is someone who was one of the original rock guitarists, who had/has a unique sound, albeit a simple, but precise, sound

Fleetwood Mac originated in the UK, and has always had more UK than US members, so should be listed under UK, but with an asterisk.

Think Wales need to ditch the "must play in Wales" philosophy, and pick suitably qualified players, no matter where they ply their trade.

Helping a friend build an exact 4mm scale model of the local station as it was in the 1920s.

They are going to keep the "Xmas Special" catalogue though, so kids will be able to choose their presents. However, more importantly does it mean the end of the little pencils?
