    Can energy companies just turn off your power without offering any kind of compensation?

    Just had my post delivered 5 mins ago and there is a letter from Western Power Distribution saying that our power supply could be off between 10am and 4pm ... TODAY! Partly the Post Office's fault too I guess because the letter was sent on the 14th, so I should have had it Saturday, or Monday...

    Freeview HD box v HD recorder

    Hi, Can anyone help? My mum and dad are both 87 and their TV is very important to them. A new channel came out, Talking Pictures TV, that just shows old films. I know they will love it. They can't receive it though. Apparently you can only get it with a Freeview HD recorder and they just...

    Silver coloured cream charger cartridges

    Anyone else notice loads of these empty cartridges in parks? Keep seeing them when I walk the dog and as I was out really early this morning (4.15 am) Coundon Park's litter hadn't been picked up. These cartridges were everywhere and besides the emoty cartridges there were also two empty boxes...

    Your own new political party

    Blank canvas. You start your own new party. What would be your core beliefs and aims and policies? I keep hearing of Theresa May talking about us being strong and stable, but for me a fairer and more equal society would be much, much higher up on the agenda. As sure a bear shitting in the...

    Anyone know how to say 'pouches' in Australian?

    Is it 'pouches', or 'pouches', or 'pouches?' Seriously though, anyone know? Been watching YouTube vids of people talking about kangaroos, but can't find anyone mentioning 'pouches.' My guess is partches. We are off to London shortly and my daughter has to say 'pouches' in an Australian...

    Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation

    Anyone know why he was driving down Villa Road, Radford yesterday? Yep, I know it sounds far-fetchingly surreal and ridiculous, but we were behind them yesterday driving back from town and it had the official insignia emblazoned upon the car. Weird. Was hoping they had come to arrest the...

    The Handmaid's Tale

    Anyone else watching it? I think it is fantastic. Really very impressive. Saw the film from a few years back, so was apprehensive, but I needn't have been. Great premise, beautifully played out.

    Best day of sport

    Just thinking about today, in which I think we have rather been spoiled (well I have anyway). Lions game this morning, then England v Australia in the one cricket international, then the French Open women's tennis final. Now there's Scotland v England in the World Cup qualifier and later...

    This bloody Wasps bus!!!

    Is it a hirable vehicle? Or is it just a bus with Wasps advertising emblazoned upon it? I thought it as Wasps' own bus. My daughter has just gone to Barcelona with her school and the bus at the school to take them to the airport is the Wasps bus. :(

    All those times we played RCC in games when Burge is clearly the much better keeper. Grrr!!!!

    You ever been the first person in a stadium?

    Obviously someone has to be the first one through the gate, just wonder if you have ever been that first ever fan in the ground for any particular match? Have been in early before. Been in at 2 for a 3pm kick off, but would say there has always been a couple of hundred here.

    Is it too early to say Port Vale is a must win?

    Could be the start of the great escape. We win this and we will only be 12 points behind. Game on!!

    Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!!

    A little bit of light at the end of the tunnel. Michael Appleton says his Oxford side are jaded. He doesn't think they can make the play-offs. Hopefully still jaded on Sunday 2nd April. Be nice if they have a touch of food poisoning too mind and several key injuries. We need all the help we...

    Two men sit on a desert island

    One turns to the other and then gazes aimlessly into the sea and says 'I see the City lost again.' 'Eh?' says the second. 'How on earth do you make that out?' The first man stares at him and says 'Well it's Saturday isn't it?'

    Daft and dumb things we have done

    Shaking my head myself at this one. I have spent a couple of weeks now trawling supermarket shelves looking for aluminium cooking foil that is suitable for microwaves. Yeah, I know, daft right!! Been really scratching my head as to why I can't get it when I have quite clearly got it before. At...
