    Probate/Letter of Administration

    Hello all Just want to ask if anyone here has done an application to this on their own, and without an organisation acting on their behalf and taking a cut. It's just that I'm the next of kin to an estate worth over 50 grand (completely by surprise) but without a will. I'm the only surviving...

    The Pelicot trial

    The one in France, with the man accused of allowing dozens of men to rape his drugged wife It is absolutely beyond belief, and now his daughter is alledging things too. It's just horrible.

    Internet Scams

    Just thought I'd post this because someone I know experienced something recently. She had seen a FB post about a lotion that helps with arthritis. She googled the company, saw the TrustPilot reviews, and they had good reviews so she ordered. A week or so later she was at work and received a...

    Child and father found dead in Skegness

    Absolutely horrific. The social worker raised the alarm on 2/1/24 when she got no response after visiting the property yet nothing was done to try and access the property for at least a week. In that time it is possible the toddler was dying of dehydration and starvation, next to the body of his...

    Which threads do you avoid

    For me it's the FFP/alleged breaches one I went on it early days but I can't now because it makes me feel ill. Not because I think we are guilty, more the fact that the rest of the bastards love it.

    Old Hollywood Stars

    Years ago I loved reading books about the stars. This week I have binged read books about them again. They were SO talented. They could act, dance, sing or whatever. Not all of them admittedly, but many. My favourites, for their sheer versatility and/or individuality were Judy, Cagney, Gene...

    Tom Parker RIP

    I really didn't know anything about him until a few months ago (I'm old). Yet I saw him being interviewed and I thought what a really nice lad he was. And brave too. So bloody sad he has passed away, and so young :-(

    Oldest City Souvenir/Merchandise you have

    Mine is a City scarf I got during the 1977/1978 season. My first season as a season ticket holder. Used to put badges on it, from a shop in Bury. Bet there is loads of stuff out there that is much older though.

    The Kennedys

    Always thought one of the younger ones would come back to try and get the Presidency. After all, they were very power hungry. I know John's son went into journalism and then died young but what about Bobby's tribe? Bloody loads of them (and I know some of them died young too) but I always...

    Getting a GP appointment

    I know times are tough, I know the NHS is having to deal with unprecedented times. I get all that. However, if I want a GP appointment I now have to telephone at 8am and then redial about 60 times (not joking here) before I can get through to someone. I'm then told (if I have found the Golden...

    Your most nervous City match ever

    The winning of the title in 2012 is not allowed ;-) Neither is the match against Luton and Pleats shoes. I hated every derby day for almost 40 years. They used to make me feel ill. Not as much these days. The one time in recent years when I wanted to vomit was when we played Leicester at home...

    Private Sector v Public Sector

    I work for a government department and have done since 1981. Today we were notified that some of our buildings are becoming unfit for use. The last office I worked at had no central heating from late January until late April and we were sat there in our coats for much of that time. This was...
