Thieving scum broke into my 89 year old uncles home while he is in hospital over Christmas. They got nothing because I have all his valuables at my place for safe keeping. My wife is upset and wants to get hold of them and put them in the same hospital as uncle. Could have been worse. As I...

My employer wants to introduce a pension Salary exchange, offering higher take home pay without any loss of pension benefits. On the principal that anything too good to be true is probably too good to be true, does anyone have any experience of this scheme? Sounds like a scam to me. Any thoughts.

Happy Diwali to any on here who celebrates it. The "festival of lights". Celebrating the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair. Cannot be a bad thing for anyone of any faith or none. Peace & Love to you all.

Slow day at work today so got silly with Hypothetical Questions. 1. If you could really sell your soul to the devil, what would you sell it for? Not for sale, I have all I need and some of what I want I'll keep my soul intact. 2. If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your...

Just found a box of old programs I have not seen in years and found the program for this match. I'd forgotten all about it. Any of you go to this match?

Happy Diwali to anyone on here who will be celebrating this weekend. May the millions of lights around the world bring you health, joy and peace. Best wishes, Mike.

Frightened the life out of myself this morning. Went to the loo and blood was pouring out of my scrotum, really pouring. It took over 10 minutes for it to stop. Thought the worse, and was at the doctors as soon as they were open. Turns out I have these small black spots called Haemangioma...

Thread count.

Just watched a boxing program on television where an interesting point was raised. During a boxing match should the scores be announced at the end of each round? The way things are the contestants do not know how they are doing in the mind of the judges until the result is announced at the end...

A friend at work asked me for advice on pensions. He is 19 years old and expects to move around the job market. My knowledge of current pension options is limited, I've been in the same plan for 25 years. What advice would you give to the lad ?

For slightly older members. The Great Escape or Escape to Victory. Tennis Girl Poster or Debbie Harry Poster. The 1963 Aston Martin DB5 or the DeLorean DMC-12 John Wayne or Clint Eastwood. Homework on the bus or ‘Dog eat it’.

Cake on a stick. It’s a cake, on a stick. Bizarre. I was at my favourite patisserie this morning, coffee and Sunday papers, when I spotted this. After the Lolly Ice/ Bad grammar debate and the talk of popsicles, whatever they may be. I wonder what is the G.O.T. opinion on cake on a stick?

Youth rebellion, counter culture, the protest movement. What happened to them? For decades teenagers got up their parents generations noses by the way they dressed, acted and the music they listened to. Starting in the 50’s through the 60’s and 70’s even the 80’s. Where are the rebels now...

Almost forgot. Happy Diwali "Shubh Diwali!" to anyone celebrating today. :yahoo: The festival of Diwali symbolizes the victory of light over dark, good over evil and knowledge over darkness.

Once again, having too much time on our hands we decided to put this well worn phrase (by Mrs WBM when refering to your correspondent) to the test and see if it is possible to brew a cup of tea in a chocolate teapot. Yesterday Mrs Whitebootman and I manufactured a rudimentary teapot from...

It seems that La Beckham is to have a pot noodle named in his honour during the world cup. Golden (meat) Balls.. Sounds dodgy and slightly homo erotic. I'm going to have to put forward the Ginger Nut and Chili Pot Noodle as the ideal world cup snack. Any takers?

The festival season is not far away. I was reading a piece on the perfect festival lineup at the weekend, and though of this as my day in the sun. Screening of 1985 Semi final against Bayen Munich at Goodison, with a commentary from some of the players involved. A beer tent with Ernest...

The old guys 80 today. Happy Birthday Mate. Nice bloke. Sing along with Rolf here. The Rolf Harris Jukebox

Did anyone see the the Pompey fans wearing pink scarves at their game against Chelski? Not sure what to make of it. The fans interviewed on tv couldn't seem to make their mind up if it was a protest, like the Man U fans green and yellow protest, or a fashion statement. I suspect it's more to...

I've just heard that Harry Carpenter passed away on Saturday morning. He was, and always will be for me, the voice of boxing. He commentated on some of the greatest boxing matches ever. Almost in tears here. Rest In Peace 'Arry.
