An ex-colleague’s son is studying in Leiden at the moment. He had trouble finding accommodation in Leiden and ended up in The Hague.

I had this dilemma a couple of years ago and ended up getting a second hand M&S diner suit from e-bay for £40 which was about the same as hiring – once you take into account the going to collect and then returning the hire suit etc.

Andre Thome was a member of the French Chamber of Deputies and exempt from military service. He still volunteered and was killed at the Battle of Verdun.

Head to the Mirador de Santa Caterina just an hour before sunset, grab a beer from the stall and find somewhere to park yourself to watch the sun going down.

I’ve hung about on the corner of 52nd and Broadway

I can remember Depeche Mode miming to Master and Servant on a BBC kids programme in the ’80s.

Did no-one think to check the lyrics!

What about using Hydrogen Peroxide. Breaks down to water and oxygen so no environmental nasties.

Or a mix of vinegar and a dash of washing up liquid in a spray bottle applied to the weeds works as well

OP Ray Wilkins came up to Rangers from PSG, who he played for after a spell in Milan.

Loved this game circa 1980.

I run an empty wool wash programme (higher water level) with a couple of chlorine tablets maybe twice a year.

I’ve had a set of Acousticsheep bluetooth ones, similar to the ones DezB linked to and find them brilliant for sleeping with – I previously had a set of the wired ones and they were a PITA as I’d wake up in a tangle at least once a night. The bluetooth ones have been great so far although after two years of nightly use one of the speakers is rather intermittent.

Percarbonate (Vanish laundry destainer) in very hot water and apply with a deck scrubber

As above. It is the bacteria in the clothes not getting killed off in a 30 Deg C wash that causes the clothes to smell after a bit. Use some anti bacterial detergent and that should cure the problem.

The Aldi’s ones are the ones I use in Currywurst.

‘a few eggs’ is a bit excessive. One a day should be sufficient

It is in France where one egg is un oeuf

I’ll get my coat!

I have found this to be effective….

Quat based so not very environmentally friendly.

Get 10L of 35% peroxide from a laundry supplies place and pour that on your taramac

Fair enough!

Couldn’t be really cheeky and see how they make them?
(Tis the bakery just up from Sainsburys heading towards the square)

Cameron’s

I’ll try and find out for you!

Selkirkbear can you grab a couple for.me and cycle courier them to Kent please ;-p

Kent is a bit far for me. As a compromise I can get some at lunchtime and tell you if they are still good.

Now you’ve mentioned them I might have to go get one at lunchtime.

It used to be common practice to wash poultry, and some shellfish, in chlorinated water in the UK so anyone who has eaten poultry pre-2005 will already have eaten chlorinated chicken.

It was more about maintaining shelf life by preventing spoilage than consumer safety. I can remember being at a turkey processors where they used to use 100ppm chlorine at the start of December, to make sure they lasted to Christmas, and reducing the concentration through the month to the normal 50ppm.

Sulphuric Acid is one of the named substances in the Explosives Precursors Regulations however it is only a reportable substance and relies on the vendor reporting any suspicious purchases to the police. It should be moved up the scale to a regulated substance that requires a EPP licence for purchase.

The Gallowgate in Glasgow surely must have the highest concentration of flat roof pubs anywhere in the UK.

The Black Loch out by Limerigg would be my recommendation. It is quite shallow so warms up quite quickly in summertime.

Arriving into the airport and then getting the train in to the city centre arriving around half nine on the Friday night. So was hoping to find somewhere fairly close by.

I’ve stayed in a hotel in Arnulf Strasse before but cannot remember bike storage and would be reluctant to leave them chained up outside given the location.

A bloke I worked with used the string on canes mentioned above around his carp pond with success. He reckoned that herons won’t land on water, they wade in.

This will by myself and Mrs SB’s first 100 miler. Logistics have been set back a bit by the Replacement Bus Service on the borders railway on Sunday so it looks like I’ll be driving to Crammond on the Sat and leaving the car there and getting a train back down to Selkirk before driving to Carlisle.

Dave Gorman 🙂

Reminded me of this

And former Council Candidate.

I used him as an example as it shows there are pro-IRA marches in Scotland as well as IRA supporters at higher levels within the SNP.

Then there is also SNP MSP John Mason who prefers the term “Freedom Fighters” rather than “Irish Murderers”

I don’t recall the IRA having marches through assorted cities of Scotland like the Orange Order does.
Can you name the SNP IRA politicians?

How about Allan Casey, Parliamentary Assistant to SNP MSP Ivan McKee http://www.heraldscotland.com/news/15102373.Revealed__picture_of_SNP_candidate_on_pro_IRA_march/%5B/url%5D

….we finally managed to book them for the 2013 festival, they closed the festival on Sat night after the Giant Wickerman was burned at midnight………absolute belter of a set..

I was there. Great end to the festival.

I might start a REACH regulations thread to see if I can rival this one

Don’t get me started!!

What happened when Ireland left?

They had a vicious civil war.

Spray the stain with WD40, rub it in to solubilise the oil a bit and then put the shorts through on the hottest wash they will stand.

I’d the same predicament before Christmas. I ended up buying a “worn once for a wedding” M&S dinner suit from Ebay and a shirt & bow tie from Matalan for the price of hiring one.

Any acid will do the job. However avoid anything Hydrochloric Acid based on stainless.

If you are diluting vinegar or making a citric acid solution then use hot water as the resulting solution will work far quicker if applied when hot

Forum user Spaceman is a piper although I’m not sure how often he is on here these days.

There are still two grandsons of John Tyler, the 10th President of the USA 1841-1845, alive today.

There are also a couple of bikeparks in the Harz mountains.

Just read on the TVMR page that a forestry worker died somewhere in the valley yesterday from some kind of injury. Not sure if it was the golfy or somewhere else

The accident was on the Sunderland Hall Estate further down the valley
