    Stomach turning

    New laws came into force on the 1st of July regarding over counter sales of acid and products that contain acid. For example you can no longer buy an car/motorcycle battery with a separate acid pack, it has to be filled before it’s handed over. I think someone has already mentioned acid based...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Labour leader Michael Foot was massively anti EU and would have taken us out in a heartbeat. So not strictly true.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Every government elected and re-elected in my lifetime has done so with a manifesto of maintaining and/or increasing ties with the EU. So it depends on how you look at it. Have we had a referendum? No. Have we elected successive governments with a mandate to maintain membership of the EU as it...

    At least we don't have this problem at the Ricoh!

    Cowdenbeath has a stock car track around the pitch also but unlike Ballymena the pitch is fenced of from the track with Armco so no issues. I think the racing is also what keeps the club afloat IIRC.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    The article shows Kate Hoey in a bad light on two points. The fact is she had a partner arrangement so whether she could be there or not is irrelevant. A point in principle Hoey is willing to overlook seeing as it’s brexit. Secondly if you work on the premise that Hoey has a point, which she...

    ABBA

    You have to remember though that not only were they not writing in their native language Scandinavian languages in my experience are structured in a different way to English also. A bit like Eric Morecombe playing all the right note but necessarily in the right order, or maybe something more...

    ABBA

    Never trust anyone who claims not to like at least one ABBA song. They’re lying. Years ago I’d refer to ABBA as my guilty pleasure but these days I’m an out and proud ABBA fan. Interestingly I was watching a biog on famous metal guitarist Richie Blackmore and he confessed to being a huge ABBA...

    This Hot Summer

    Mine is my right hand wrist and elbow (insert own pun here) and my right ankle. No problems with any of them for weeks now. My knees are just totally trashed and although still prone to giving way from time to time the regularity of that has greatly reduced. The opposite to that is that they...

    This Hot Summer

    Personally I’m loving it. I have dodgy knees and arthritis in some joints from years of doing manual labour and hot dry weather is great for them, all my aches and pains have virtually gone. Stark contrast to cold damp weather when my first decent of the day down the stairs is more of a...
