Do they eat slugs too?? Our back yard is full of slugs this year for some reason - might have to get me a couple of hedgehogs if they'll see to them!!

The same way a father does?? Does the emotional bond between a mother and child start before birth?

I didn't vote. Other than getting a ballot card through the post i've heard absolutely nothing about this in the local press, local radio, mail-shots etc... and seen no sign of a campaign in my area. Yesterday I saw two signs on my way to work advertising for one conservative candidate, they...

Hi guys, Thinking of buying a tablet with a view to being able to download films onto it to take away on holiday - watching in the car etc... Do you know if a) this is possible and b) is it easy to do? We have a LoveFilm account and we stream films online to watch but this doesn't seem...

It was indeed Captain Mainwaring who shouted "Don't tell 'em Pike" Still sad to hear Clive has passed away though. :(

Well I heard something i've never before heard in a restaurant last weekend. Place closed at 8pm, we finished our main courses at about 7:20pm. The waiter came to take our plates and asked if we'd like dessert. We said we would, to which he said "ah..well, the kitchen kinda closes after the...

Well I had thought that myself. Whlist almost half of my commute is on tarmac, they're hardly smooth roads! Most of it is on an unclassified road which has plenty of bumps and potholes and no formal road-edge, so its not unusual to have mud and/or loose stones on the road when it has rained...

Have they said anywhere how they intend to operate this? How will they stop people who haven't got a 'motorway tax disc' from using the motorway? Are they going to have patrols on all slip-roads checking people's tax discs? Or will you just get fined IF you're caught using a motorway when you...

Prentice - Thanks for that. Kind of backed up what I was thinking, and yes, the suspension has lock-out on it. I'd like to do some long distance road cycling - but it would only be every now and again, certainly not every week. The other thing is that the trail I use has tunnels on it, and...

Think yourself lucky - don't even exist!! In fact, neither does my Mum & Dad!!! :shock: I spent the extra hour trying to stop a brother (7) and sister (4) fighting, while their Mum made the most of the extra hour asleep.....

I have bought and am currently trying to learn the guitar. I'm in my 30s and never played a musical instrument before - not the most musical of people, so expecting this to be a challenge. Originally bought one to learn with my 6yr old who asked for one last Christmas in the hope that he'd...

Hi guys, I know there's some cyclists on here, and some cyclist haters too, so this is for those who are keen on two wheels. I bought a new 'hardtail' mountain bike about 18months ago and have got into cycling more and more since then. I commute the 11.5miles to work twice a week now...

Inky - why does the roof need to overhang? Most of the properties around here have gutters fixed on brackets directly to the stone work with the slates/tiles overhanging the stonework by an inch or two at the most - rare to see projecting eaves with soffits here. In any case, getting the...

You can either apply to extend the existing planning permission (but only if it hasn't expired yet - ie before November) or you can just re-submit the application for a new approval. However, if the local planning policies have changed since the original approval then the time extension...

I've got a friend who is wanting to add an extension to the side of his house and build right up to the boundary with the neighbour. It fits within requirements of the PD regs and the planning office has confirmed that the extension itself is permitted development. However, the extension is a...

Thanks guys, all I would have done was find out what the fault code was then take it to a mechanic to sort for me, unless it was something I knew I'd got the capability to fix. I just didn't want to pay £30 for the garage to plug it in and tell me nothing's wrong, its a misleading error...

Hiya, I found one on Amazon for £15 which has good reviews (average of 4 out of 5 from nearly 100 users) and it says it works with Fords from 2001 onwards, which covers mine. Most of the bad reviews are from Renault drivers who say it didn't work, but i've read elsewhere that Renaults can be...

Sombrero - I took up running last summer (previously hadn't run in over 14years since I left school - and even then they had to force me to do it!!) and ran my first 10k almost exactly a year ago. If you've trained for it properly you'll do 10k easily and you'll enjoy every second of it. I...

Hmmm, readers off eBay - sounds interesting. Are these reliable and worth getting, or should I just fork out for a garage to look at it? I've been told it could just be an error and there be nothing really wrong and the computer just needs resetting - if that could be the case, the garage...

Hi, The engine warning light has come on on my '52 plate Ford Fiesta. The handbook says if its blinking, drive slowly avoiding high revs and take straight to a Ford dealer. If the light is on solid, take it to a Ford dealer. I'm assuming therefore that as the light is not flashing, the...
