    Can you not go to Newport or wherever the passport office is and queue up for a renewal?

    Wanna share some details? Although I think the home insurance and solicitor is a better idea…

    Don't know about Southampton itself, but avoid the Fryern Dental Practice in Chandler's Ford – dentist is all right but the receptionists were dreadful. Got a letter from them saying I owed them £20 for missing an appointment that was for the following week!

    If you can get to Winchester the Parchment Street Practice is excellent – really nice people, nice premises and incredibly accommodating. Private, but you get what you pay for, and to be honest I don't think they are any more expensive than going NHS – they certainly don't sell you anything more expensive than you need, and don't force you to go for a check-up every six months to stay on their books.

    Good for her! I hope she is not only acquitted but gets a medal. Serves him right.

    Whyever would anyone be happy with an unsecured wireless network?

    If someone's downloading illegal stuff they'll come knocking on your door first…

    Mmm, Bloodrunners!

    Love to try one of these as well – original Octavia! No 4×4 option in this one though. I do think the new ones are prettier.

    I'm not being funny. It's not just for women and they do seem to talk sense about healthy eating and stuff. The weekly weigh-ins are a help and so is the group stuff, I think.

    No, I'm not doing it myself, admittedly, but I know someone who is. Not every week is a good one, but the general trend is in the right direction.

    Sorry if this has been posted before, I haven't read everyone's replies.

    Hi WCA

    I think you should try Autostitch Autostitch or Microsoft Image Composite Editor.

    As long as the application can find the some overlap in the pictures it seems to be fine.

    Hope this helps

    An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician were on a train heading north, and had just crossed the border into Scotland.

    •The engineer looked out of the window and said "Look! Scottish sheep are black!"
    •The physicist said, "No, no. Some Scottish sheep are black."
    •The mathematician looked irritated. "There is at least one field, containing at least one sheep, of which at least one side is black."

    ————————————————————————–

    variants:

    •The statistician : "It's not significant. We only know there's one black sheep"
    •The computer scientist : "Oh, no! A special case!"

    Well I liked it, anyway. And the Maths Jokes picture above!

    We looked at Panasonic in John Lewis the other day and the picture was streets ahead of the competition…

    Samsung was unnaturally bright by comparison.

    Yep, bats here also. Also a large colony of Natterer's Bats a few miles away – must go and see them before they hibernate!

    And what's wrong with raki? I happen to enjoy raki when consumed after dinner in a taverna overlooking a harbour in Greece somewhere with the sun setting over the water…

    Not seen the programme in question, but we do find it fascinating going over to the Somme, Flanders and Verdun to see what's there (and there's loads).

    Fantastic places and very memorable.

    We were in Flanders a few years ago and saw some very fresh excavations. Raw and not a little voyeuristic in a lot of ways.

    Menin Gate at 8:00pm always brings a tear to our eyes…

    BigDummy's reply has got to be the reply of the year though!

    JulianA

    Was just meant to be a recommendation for a company with great customer service, but if BigDummy can recommend a site which sells whatever he's smoking or injecting I'd be very interested (and so would the Feds, I guess!)

    Good luck, CFH. Hopefully money will talk… Let us know how you go!

    The Old Flying Machine Company says 'no' but the Fighter Collection is silent on the matter. They appear to have a two seat Mustang… Worth a schmooze?

    However, if a Spitfire would be an acceptable option, Carolyn Grace might be able to help…

    HP Photosmart C4585 or similar HP?

    Wireless for £69.99 and great prints and excellent scanning capabilities. Copies fine but no fax, but as fingerbike said, you can do that from your PC… And cartridge prices are not out of this world so far.

    Nice bit of kit.

    Is the graffiti on three consecutive pillars supporting the M4 into London still there reading Good Morning Lemmings?

    Always thought that that was quite appropriate…

    bottles of vintage champagne, worth £75 a bottle

    Well it won’t be that good anyway at only £75 per bottle…

    Could be hard to insure against something which is already in the offing, sorry.

    ‘Pre-existing conditions’ are generally excluded in my experience, but it might be worth having a chat with an insurance broker regarding your exact circumstances.

    Good luck with it all!

    I would agree with Lowey. It does not have to be permanent – you can always come back.

    Myself I couldn’t live in Aus although I really enjoyed spending 9 months there. You have nothing to lose except your friends and family here

    I thought you’ld have been saying ‘the grass is no greener’, TJ! 🙂

    Yep, I’d go for it. Flights paid for? +1 for can we have your tickets if you don’t use them!?

    Good luck with it!
