<t>I am in the alledgedly driest place in the UK and we have had no rain for several weeks until this week.<br/> <br/> But everything seem to grow ok, except, I have a Kiwi and for the past two years it has had lots of flowers but they are just falling off although I am watering well, anyone any ide...

In that area would recommend a trip on the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway.

<t>Venice is ok but the smaller towns and villages are what I prefer. I really liked the Eugenian Hills, incidently in Bastia a town to the west of the Hills is probably one of the best pizzas. This year stayed for a week with friends just outside Castel Franco, drove from England through France, Be...

If I had to live in any city, of those I have visited it would have to be York, followed by Truro, and then Castel Franco....

I seem to remember (I wasn't there) but did not a US vessel try to invade England and landed and tried to invade a small fishing community but over indulged in the local brew, gave up and went home..

Someone I know was visiting in Peachtree City, Georgia and was due to fly back home the following day, which he didn't and was stuck in the US for a few more days...

I have an oiled oak floor, if it is scratched just use a bit of wire wool with fresh oil on and the scratch disappears....

<t>We are getting ants indoors, they seem to be coming up from under the floor boards. They are the common British black ant.<br/> <br/> We are unable to lift the floor boards as we have only recently had them put down and are the 'tongue and groove' type (oak and cost a fortune).<br/> <br/> As we h...

<t>I seem to remember going to Wembley for the first match of the 66 World Cup, which was England v Uruguay, can't remember the score but the Queen was there....<br/> <br/> Remember The Kinks at the Basildon, Mecca at the time they had just released 'You Really Got Me' and now and again they would p...

Does anyone remember Houston Wells (real name Andy Smith) probably the UK's best C&W artist, believe he is alive and living in New Zealand???

<t>I have a daughter who apart from a 9 month old daughter runs a 95 Fiesta, she is not able to afford to buy anything near a new car, the road tax on this Fiesta is £190 per year (which is more than a 7.5 ton truck at where I work (£165)).<br/> <br/> Someone at work applied for the scheme, they h...

If you were the victim, what would you expect to happen to your attacker.

If money was stolen from you it can be recovered, but if a life is taken from you it cannot be recovered.

Why was it refered to as 'The Great War', I can see nothing great about war....

<t>You know your English when a bomb goes off and nobody takes any notice.<br/> <br/> also<br/> <br/> When you go to use the barbeque and find it has corodded (this happened to me the gas burner had rotted and one of the legs had crumbled and I live in one of the driest parts of the UK)<br/> <br/> a...

Tonight probably Turkey breast cooked in the oven and basted lightly with honey with Jersey Royals and asparagus...

Breaded catfish from the fruit market in Atlanta and Vesta curries.

I was twelve in 1960 so spent my teenage years in the sixties and can't remember a thing until 1970!!!!!

<t>We have a small cherry, a bay, an apple, a magnolia, a hibicus and something with yellow flowers in the bush/tree department and in the climbers honeysuckle, kiwi, grape and winter jasmine plus many other plants and low shrubs as well as a pond, there is always hanging feeders with both peanuts a...

<t>All we get here in our garden are sparrows, starlings, blackbirds and collared doves, I once saw a blue tit and a couple of years ago a pair of mallards landed in our ornimental pond and scared the life out of the fish.<br/> <br/> Our cat just sits and watches the birds feed.<br/> <br/> Although ...

Does anyone know what soil blueberry's prefer, the leaves on mine are yellowy although it has flowered.

I understand they like the soil moist, Are they like hydrangeas and need iron supplement???

<t>Talking of cannon balls, I believe it was in the American Civil War that the first sea battle between two iron or iron clad vessels took place, (the names Monitor and the Virginian come to mind) the only problem was that they fired cannon balls at each other which failed to do any damage to the h...

<t>Our local council (Rochford, Essex) has recently distributed three wheeley bins per household, one for non recylable waste, one for compostable waste and one for recyclable waste. You now drive anywhere in the district and it now looks like the invasion of the wheeley bins. They are an eyesore!!!...

The question is, is it more enviromentaly friendly to keep a vehicle running longer against the resources required to manufacture a new vehicle????

If they had tried to find it with satnav they would have been sent down a dead end!!!!

<t>I think it was just calls from the US to the rest of the world - the thing I remember most is the feeling of fear and confusion I perceived from Atlanta although it is many miles from the terrorist attacks, yes I think here in the UK we were saddened and appalled by the attacks but I think we are...

On the 11th Sept I was talking on the phone to someone in Atlanta when the phones suddenly cut off, contacted her by email when could not reconnect. At the moment it seems the US cut all communication with the outside world for a short time.....

<t>Buttercup<br/> <br/> It's the whole thing, the take off noises as the undercarraige retracts, the flight to whereever when the plane hits bumpy bits, and the landing when the engines go quite and you can feel the aircraft dropping, and one especially bad time when flew from Washington to Atlanta ...

Houston Wells.

The best British C&W singer, now living in New Zealand.

I have liked his music since 1963, does anyone else know of him??

I am not the best when it comes to flying, has anyone got any tips on calming nerves etc.

Remembering that airlines will not let you on if you have had too much to drink.
