Think it's fairly obvious my lad is a ref (ok stop throwing things) Before moving up the league so to speak, he spent a lot of time with youth and kids teams and he reckoned the kids were fine but the parents were a nightmare.

Third Stieg Larsson book is due out September/October I've just pre-ordered it with Amazon.

I remember both of them. My old gran used to like to go to Pauldens and have tea in their cafe - it was her treat very occasionally; my auntie used to take her. When Woolworths was burned down we had a shop just opposite the end of Piccadilly Station Approach - just up from the Fire Station. I...

Oh yes, I taught Peter Crouch everything he knows about dancing

Ta muchly - now I don't need to sound like a numptie!

Going to send this on to my son who is a ManU fan - and lives in Holland!!!! (Though he is a Manchester lad born and bred, and his younger brother is a ManCity season ticket holder). We are rather a mixed up footie family Eldest lad and daughter - ManU, Second Son and his 3 kids and me -...

Nicolette Sheriden from Desperate Housewives Model - Caprice Bouret

Forgot to add - The Colour of Magic by Terry Pratchett. It's the first of his Discworld novels. I gave it to a friend who was reading it on the plane to USA - she kept bursting out laughing and the chap next to her thought she was a loony!

If you want something mystery/crime try Manchester Blue by Eddie Shah I'd recommend The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo but even in paperback it's a huge brick of a book - might put you over the baggage llimit - best crime novel I've read in years.

Had out IT man in this afternoon and, just in passing, he remarked that the net is a bit slower because, if the weather is lousy, then all the schoolkids who are on holiday immediately get on-line. Must admit I do notice a slight difference on normal days between morning which is usually pretty...

Someone once told me that insanity is catching - you get it from your kids! I once took my daughter (14 at the time) to London, on the train looking out of the window (and without thinking of course) I said 'oh Look at all those baa lambs and moo cows' - everyone in the carriage looked to see...

Probably a daft question but how much RAM have you got in your laptop? Have you done a disc-clean recently to get rid of temporary files?

Agree with Betty - NOD32 is fantastic. I've been running it for 4 year now and it is worth every penny. Costs about £27 to get initially and about £16 to renew each year. Since I got it I have never had any problems with viruses, spyware etc. By the way - Natwest also offer a website...

I'm beginning to wonder just how old you lot are? I'm a gran and have nothing like these - I loathe dusting at the best of times, and even my old mother-in-law (90ish and who loved ornaments) wouldn't have been seen dead with a toilet-roll dolly.

I never realised how rude the public are until I got a shop! Doesn't matter really whether they are black, white, asian, or outer mongolian! We had a big double sized shop selling artists's stuff and picture framing. Woman came in one day and said 'can I have a loaf of bread' - told her we...

I've been using ebay to buy and sell for several years and, so far, have had only one iffy chap who wanted to buy a car from me - his scam was that he said a third party owed him a lot more money than the price of the car, they would send me the cheque, I could pay it into my bank and send him...

Some of us wrinklies may go in for naff ornaments (hate 'em myself - too much dusting) but bear in mind that to-days grandmas and grand-dads were the teenagers who were in at the start of rock'n'roll so anything you are thinking of doing they have probably already done in the past.

I had something similar a couple of years ago, that's when my IT man installed NOD32 for me and I have never had a problem since. BUT these days unless I am 100% certain who an email is from I never click on any links in them. I know it's a bind but if I want to follow through on something I...

This seems to be affecting ever-younger kids. Even my 6 year old grand-daughter mentioned weight the other day. I agree with one or two others I think confidence can be an issue so, like the child who is learning Karate, my grand-daughter has started kick-boxing lessons and it's done wonders...

Miserable old sod! That's got to be worth a quid at least! If they are small children try <a class="postlink" href="http://www.coloring.ws/coloring.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.coloring.ws/coloring.html</a> It's a site with some games for them and loads of...
