  • @papa l - I thought if you replaced the chain you really do need a new cassette at the same time so they'll wear evenly. Or have I been duped? I never liked 2 wheels good. Found the staff somewhat sneery, and tried to convince me I really needed …
  • I moved to Giffgaff and have found it great so far. £10/ month for 200 minutes phone, unlimited texts and 1GB Internet, which I find easily covers me. I use it with an older iPhone I got on eBay. If you've not already ordered I could do for you and …
  • I had very same situation recently. I had it fitted by aerialtec.co.uk. Seemed fine, though I couldn't say whether better or worse than others. Helpful on the phone and available within the next few days. If your house is two floors only they can do…
  • I'd say yes to Mad Men. The Wire if not seen that. And my favourite recommendation, Deadwood. Borgen not as good as the Killing in my view.

  • I don't have a roof rack (and they tend to need to match the car) but if you could get one that fits your car I have cycle carriers that can be pretty easily fitted to a roof rack. Sitting in my attic since we gave up having a car, happy to lend the…
  • Oh. Didn't get the "wall" thing. The mobile site doesn't seem to offer the "send message" option, but I get it now.
  • Maz - I've tried again. Come back of you still can't see it. Shaun
  • Maz - I've sent you a personal message, you see it by clicking on "inbox".
  • We have a 15 year old looking for the occasional babysitting work (for money, not circle) in case anyone is looking for that. She's very sensible and mature.
  • And look on the planning website for recent applications near you - they have all the drawings etc which can be a great start to go from if you're doing something similar.
  • I got a post office leaflet through the door recently saying they will be moving to a standard policy of leaving parcels with neighbours if you're not there. It seemed to be saying you could opt out but otherwise that's what they'd do.
  • @harpistic - thanks, that's helpful. It's so irritating when it keeps going down, but it's particularly annoying that it is obviously some sort of planned works (because it's happening so much, always at weekends) but they don't tell us. It wouldn't…
  • I faced this problem recently - permanently blocked hallway becoming a drag. Since we had two bikes to put somewhere, none of the internal options would work so it had to be front garden. I was very tempted by the Trimetals shed http://www.trimetals…
  • Or not. Please.

  • After a long period of inactivity there now seems to be action this week to fit out the Sainsbury's. I'm sure it will be pretty underwhelming once open (it's very small, and if you want a medium size supermarket the Nisa round the corner is fine and…

  • But on the substance, it sounds as if opening day may be slipping ("by the end of the year" instead of "autumn")?
  • I suggest you might edit out mention of a specific address.
  • Was a stabbing near the fullback - don't know if connected to the pub. CSI-style guys at work gathering evidence all morning.
  • Like many people I use that road as a cycle route. It's dangerous at the moment because cars don't know what they're supposed to do and change direction violently. I guess people will get used to it in time. I've not stopped to look properly but I c…
  • Is this UK or US pants? If the former, hard to see why it'd be such a big deal.....

  • Always nice to see a young Peter Capaldi pop up in films where you'd not noticed him at the time. eg Les liaisons dangereuses, and Local Hero.
  • Checkski you can look forward to endless threatening letters. They really don't believe anyone would not have a TV. Of course with online catch up services replicating so much of TV (and not needing a licence) I don't know how much longer the licenc…

  • Mine still down now. Been fitful for at least 2 weeks. Annoyingly the service status page never seems to be any use at all.
  • The elephant is starting a trend - there's a Thomas the Tank Engine on its way in Perth Rd.
  • There used to be a sticky with instructions on links and images. Once we've worked out how to do it with the new system (I don't know I'm afraid) can we have the sticky back please?
  • Well done. I'll carry on mostly dozing in the corner of this very pleasant pub now you've thrown the yobs out. Andy and David (haven't heard from him recently - perhaps he was a figment of Andy's imagination?), don't underestimate how valued this th…
  • For the last 3 days, the theme tune to "Going for Gold" with Henry Kelly.
  • I can't understand why they don't say which parks are over half a hectare. That's quite an important bit of information to know what the impact of this would be; they must know and be able to list them; and we can't all be getting out our maps to me…
