Hi all, I used to post here as lrw60. Then I fell out with the new look forum. I have now decided to post an update concerning my friend Lorna who some of you may remember me mentioning. Just over a year ago Lorna took her grade 8 oboe exam and passed with a distinction. A few weeks ago she took...

:yuck: I don't like this new format at all. It is messy and un-friendy. Where do I find my old posts? I will log back on in a few weeks time and if I still find it as it is now I don't think I will log on again. Bad, Bad move. Lee.

The joints in question being my neck and right shoulder. Last year I realised that I couldn't tilt my neck back as far as I used to. I then discovered that I couldn't reach as high with my right arm as I could with my left. I put all this down to my arthritis, old age and having worked as a...

It's that simple. I need to upgrade my browser from Internet Explorer 8 to something else. Have you done this and what were the results?

I know it sounds like a silly question, but I could have been born left handed and There is no one left alive who would have known it for sure. Let me explain. When I was about 5 or 6 I had a firework, a Roman candle I think, explode in my hand. It burnt my hand rather badly and I couldn't use...

A woman is in a dentists chair, she is very nervous and the dentist tells her a little joke to put her at her ease. Do you know how these rubber gloves are made? he says, showing her the latex gloves in his hand. She looks at him and the gloves and replies, no. Well, he said, there is a large...

The speed this site is running at seems to be just fine. I have had many problems recently and have even cancelled my actions and logged off because of the time things were taking. Well done to you and whoever helps you. :thumbup:

I have been helping my friend Lorna do the Guardian prize crossword for a few years now. I had never done a cryptic crossword before, I prefer sudoku. Two or three years ago we won the prize crossword in Lorna's name. Several weeks back Lorna put my name on the entry and I won! More recently we...

I don't want to use the tax avoiders until we start getting some of our money back! So not amazon :evil: etc. Rant over. I am going to resume testing after many years of being told I don't need to, this site has convinced me that I do. I will try my practice for strips, but I don't hold out...

Does anyone know about wooden soled shoes (clogs?) with a leather upper? I think not having a flexible shoe might help me walk easier. I also feel that now I am a lot older I could get away with wearing socks with sandles. (Bit of a wuss in my old age). Can I get clog sandles? Will I become even...

After getting a big water bill 3 or 4 months ago I decided to have a water meter fitted. This was done several weeks ago and I got my first metered bill last week. It said I was £325 in credit, and that was after they had deducted what I owed them for the water I had used. A friend said I should...

Three students sharing digs decide to buy a television. They go down to the local tv sales shop and look at tv's. With a budget of £30 (£10 each chipped in). They find a tv at that price and take it home with them. Now, a bit later that day the manager of the shop realizes that the students have...

I have caught a glimpse of other peoples cars on this site, so I thought I would start a thread for forms of transport. Apart from my everyday car or in the past, van, I also own a 1930 Austin Seven Special. Special just meaning it is no longer standard and has been modified, including a home...

I know it can be done, so many of you have done it! How do I upload a picture from my computer into a post such as this?

Did you ever watch the Classic FM TV music channel? I did, all the time. I was going through a bad patch for quite a while and this music channel and, I am sorry to say, a fair bit of alchohol, helped me through. Plus I just liked the eclectic range of music. I hope I have used the word...

Hi all, LRW60. That's me. My initials and the age I will be on 20th July 2013. LRW60. Short and simple, or short and sweet. It's all me to a T. Where did your username come from? You don't have to divulge real names etc.

I had a fasting blood test last Friday and had a phone message from my db nurse yesterday. All she said was 'we don't need to see you again for 6 months'. I had to take a urine sample in today and I saw my nurse chatting to a colegue. I asked if everything was ok with my test and she said yes it...

Yes it is true. I discovered this a few months back when I glanced at the label on a bottle of rose from Aldi. I never expected wine to contain egg, I don't eat eggs as I am a (almost) vegan. I do drink milk, but I don't eat eggs. It's a long story! Anyway, I typed this bit of info into google...

I have tried to make a fruit crumble twice now and it hasn't worked. I tried using soya flour and ground almond as the mix with butter to create the crumble, but it was too dry and the whole thing had no real body. My second attempt at a crumble was a bit better than the first, but only just...
