Hi I'd like to share a few thoughts about a large (120,000 litre) rain harvesting project we are working on at out home. We have the potential for storing up to 120,000 litres. The nice garden we've created turns out to be a very costly thing to irrigate through the year. Also with global...

Ever known a cruel pet owner? I need to find out how an official owner can have their pet removed from their care. Someone I know shows little or no respect for their animals, a dog and 2 cats. All great animals. They leave them on their own for long periods, simple put them...

No, not the kerb crawler kind! I'm trying to find out how come the law can fine you for passing through a red light without sending you a copying of the photo? They say it will be provided in court, when you are being done for it proper, but how is this really possible? How can they keep...

so, the pope needs to pass away, two lovers need to finally wed so it stands to reason the grand national should move along. A fine example of the chaos theory, the pope flopps, the prince turns over and the horses have to jump! What's next in line?

does anyone else think, like me, that we should ditch sven as a bad job for too much money? I would really like to know why he's so good as a manager and particularly england and why's he worth trust? Seems to be only blind trust. I'd rather get real and employ a winner!
