Best beer I've ever tasted was called Jever Pilsner. It was sold for a time as Sainsbury's "German Lager" but actually comes from a Frisian Island which is halfway between Holland and Germany. Being a true Pilsner it tastes like a blend of apples and pears but also has a very strong hop flavour...

Lucky to get £1200, most pensioners won't even get half that.

Which Morrisons as the one I use in Alvis Retail Park hasn't had coin slots for years?

My memory isn't that good either, it was recently shown on Talking Pictures and has also been released on Blu-ray and DVD! :)

I am too but that's because of my unusual tax position. I would seldom recommend it to someone else. 'Mumsy' is into modern art and vintage cars but she's an experienced art-historian so the risk/reward ratio is extremely low for her. I've noticed a certain website is trying to lure ordinary...

The one time he didn't was in the movie of the same name! There's a streetband version by The Happy Wonderers at the start of of the movie and another by the cast ensemble at the end but although a recording of Joe is heard in the background he is never actually seen performing the title number...

What a crazy world we're living in!

Sounds very sensible to me even though it's frustrating. Not as bad as many. Never, ever go all-in on any one thing even if you think it's bulletproof, they're forever inventing more deadly bullets.

"Non-standard construction" The post-war priority was to build as many homes as quickly as possible to house those who had been bombed-out. Many people loved their new pre-fabbed homes and were sorry to leave them.

It's a waste of money in my experience. Bought a floor standing unit eleven years ago and haven't used it since. By the time I've connected up the exhaust hose to an outside wall the heatwave is over. It also needs a solid concrete floor to stand on or it will vibrate loudly when the compressor...

For home or business?

It's clouded over which prevents the heat from escaping upwards at night. I took advantage of it to wash the duvet cover knowing that I wasn't going to need it tonight.

How annoying is this? I always by the same style of reading glasses from the same supplier so you'd think when a pair break I could simply swap a part or parts from an older pair but no, theres always a tiny, almost imperceptible difference in the shape of the parts or the way they're attached...

Tried that, the mother-in-law wasn't impressed!

Some advisors suggest it's best to stockpile cash at times like this even though it's rapidly losing its value due to inflation. The idea is it can be used to take advantage of any unexpected buying opportunites which present themselves. But everyone's situation is different and what may be...

He still is PM. He only resigned as Tory leader not as Prime Minister.

"In 2017, it took the Dutch 225 days to form a cabinet. " Those periods when Holland had only a caretaker government were also some of the most successful!

A vintage TV restoration foum I subscribe to logs me out every 24 hours then complains about a 'lack of posts' from members. Not as bad though as the Coventry Transport forum which is damn near impossible to log into.

It already did in CV1 many years ago. 59, so not even close to retirement age. I think Labour was still in office but wouldn't swear to it. Regardless, successive governments have raised the age for minimum income guarantee (ie: "Pension Credit") from 60 to 66 at the same time as average life...
