Thought I would post this as an advisory to anyone looking at fitting new valves: I've just discovered that Wickes replacement ceramic plate type valves (7mm spline part number 425027 at the bargain price of £3.18 a pair) fit a Franke Danube kitchen mixer tap perfectly. I wasn't sure when I...

Just on about T.E. Lawrence again, I think his masochistic nature eventually killed him. He died whilst riding a Brough Superior SS100 (probably the fastest motorbike available at the time...he owned a few of them.....capable of 100mph which during the inter-war years was some going)...

That's a very interesting link thankyou John. Seems he was a masochist as well. Oh the joys of the English public school system.

The county town of any English county is where the county seat of govt is located. In Nottinghamshire's case it is Nottingham. In Derbyshire's case it is Matlock. it was Derby until 1962 when the county council upped sticks and moved to Matlock.

Did you know...... The county town of Derbyshire is NOT Derby.

I think Mr. T.E. Lawrence spent most of his time running away from over-excited Arab gentlemen chasing him over the dunes waving pots of vaseline.

Good luck with contacting Severn Trent Water Ltd. I've found them a nightmare to contact. You never get to speak to the same person twice, they have no record of your previous phone conversation with them, they contradict what the previous person said to you etc. They are a monopoly water...

Like exploring the Amazon rainforest.

The present Hotpoint washer (and all of the previous Hotpoints we've had) have a quick wash option where you can choose the temperature. I'd defo go for a Hotpoint again.

I've mainly bought Hotpoints over the years. You can always get parts and they are reasonably priced. The exception is a Candy washer that caught fire (melted circuit board giving out black smoke from under the machine) in the 90's and a Servis washing machine (well actually a Turkish made...

I did date a girl of Spanish parentage who had Roy Orbison sideburns down the inside of her thighs and a bush that reached up to her belly button. It was a sight to behold.

Isn't the rule of thumb re: British lady police officers that they are dykes or bikes?

Haha sorry mate I misread that. Well I stick by my principles that a lush bush beats a shaven haven anytime. Contrary opinions welcome on a postcard addressed to Blue Peter.

Good reply Dazzler. What Vinty fails to grasp is that the millions who died under communism.....and the millions who died in China under the same.....had nothing to do with lack of religious belief. Stalin and Mao-Tse-Tung were both psychopaths, the latter more so. During the Cultural Revolution...

I'd put money on it that there's a shaven haven. I'm old school. A lush bush is best.

When one person is deluded it is called madness. When a large number of people are deluded it is called religion (opinion courtesy of Richard Dawkins.....his book The God Delusion is a cracking read). Religion is a control device. Leaders of religions gain money, sex and power (in various...
