A friend of mine worked in a nursing home where Roach's elderly mother lived - she always said that from her experience of him, he was not a very nice person. Certainly didn't think much of his own mother, dumped her in the nursing home and very rarely visited her.

You after a bit of free parking? :wink: Its going ok thanks. Not really got a training plan in place as such, but i'm still cycling to work and back (11.5miles each way) twice a week and hoping to up that to three times a week soon. Try to get out at lunchtime once a week too. Cycled to...

Yeah, but John Lewis would stop you shoplifting if they knew you were doing it. And they'd punish you for doing so. They don't take the view that most people don't shoplift so we'll carry on taking their money and just let the few that do steal, get away with it. The council are fully...

Is that question for me? If so, its a Derbyshire Dales District Council car park on Bakewell Showground.

One of the (council owned/run) car-parks in town has become the 'temporary' home to a group of 'travellers'. They are steadily growing in number, but there were about 8 caravans and numerous cars and vans last time I passed. There's a rumour going around that, although the council aren't...

Sorry - didn't realise it was that controversial. Still disagree though. For some people, gambling is a bad thing, but controlled gambling I don't see as a problem for anyone - I positively enjoy it but I don't think i've ever bet more than £10 on one horse (and that was after a win - so I was...

Better tip - DO bet, but only bet what you can afford to lose, and expect to lose it. Can be good fun as long as it doesn't matter to you if you end up losing your money. Good luck to anyone having a flutter today! Onecog - so (without giving away your secrets, unless you want to)...

If you can survive without the bath/toilet i'd go with those that suggested you just leave the toilet in until you're ready to replace it, that fact that you are replacing it means it doesn't matter if it gets covered in paint, plaster etc while you do the work.... If you go with the...

Personally I would almost say i'm addicted to bread, I love the stuff, especially if its freshly baked. Usually, on returning home after a night out, my alcohol fuelled bedtime snack is always a slice of bread, depending how tired I am its sometimes dry, sometimes daubed with butter and...

:shock: How many wives and how many girlfriends have you got Mike?? :wink:

Couldn't agree more Eddie. Both of our children have had health issues in their short lives and I found it incredibly hard when our daughter had to stay just one night overnight in hospital. I can't begin to imagine how any parent would feel or cope when their child wasn't at home and was...

SS - we're on T-mobile and we don't get charged for Voicemail? I don't know if that's specific to our contract or if its standard but we definitely don't pay for it - i've just checked our online bill. The only thing we end up paying for each month over our contract rental is 18p for picture...

Another... Woman walks into a pharmacists and asks the man at the counter for some cyanide. "What do you want Cyanide for?" He asks. "I need it to posion my huband". She replied. "I'm sorry madam, but I canot sell you Cyanide for you to use to kill your husband, that would be...

Can confirm what Snico has posted - the JCB phones are pretty good. Mate of mine works in a quarry and so uses one of these - it even bounces - literally, you can throw it on the floor and it almost bounces high enough to catch it again - and its completely fine after...

Our route will give us over 4,000 ft of uphill to contend with, although, most of that is within the first 20miles - the joys of living, and starting this ride, in the Peak District!! I think some of my fellow cyclists are starting to get cold feet now they've heard how far it is... got some...

Crikey Pred. I think I can safely say that I wont be beating your times! I did 10.84miles last week on my lunch hour and it took me 55mins (although my mitigating circumstances are that there was snow on the ground, I was slowed down by traffic and negotiating junctions, more than a mile was...

Plotted a provisional route for it last night - its 110 miles!!! :shock:

SS - couple of other things... What bike did you do it on? I don't know a lot about bikes, and can't see much of it on the photograph you've posted - but the guy behind you seems to have completed it on a mountain bike. I intend to use my mountain bike, quite simply because i've got one and...

A mate of mine got pulled by the police one day. The cop car had passed him going the other way and spotted that my mate was well over the speed limit. He pulled him up and stood chatting to him about why he had pulled him over and as they chatted it became clear to my mate that the copper had...

Hi guys, Touched by the offers of sponsorship - thank you very much. Kinda wish I hadn't mentioned it now... As I said above, 18months ago I was quite a bit overweight and not 'fit' in any way, shape or form. As some of you will probably remember, at that point I was thinking of doing a 10km...
