I received my letter from the DWP a few days ago asking me if I wanted to receive my state pension. I logged on with my unique code, entered my bank details, and was intrigued with the question ''What will you Get?. I had to faff around with details from my passport and driving licence, but I...

They aren't working under those conditions by choice. I totally agree with you that GP's are now difficult to access, I'm not sure about them prioritising injections as I received my 3 covid jabs at the community hall in Timperley and my flu jab at my chemist in Bowdon, but there is a...

I've received a cheque today for £83.90 from CPP, and if I pay tax at 40 or 45% (it states), I may be able to reclaim all or some of it from HMRC. If I'm in doubt, I may need to seek proffessional tax advice! My letter serves as a statement for the purposes of section 975 of the Income Tax...

We take it as granted that a player in an offside position can't score a goal, but many decisions are borderline, or just wrong. Why do we have this rule, and would it make much difference if it was done away with? I'm sure there was a reason why the rule was introduced, but why? Should we...

that all the managers are wearing on their lapels. What do they say? They look like an advert for the Job Centre to me, but can someone enlighten me?

Someone lives around the corner who has an Audi with German number plates. This car has been in the country for at least 10 years now, and in all that time, there has never been a road tax licence on show in the windscreen. I was walking home with a friend tonight, and when we got to the car...

I've just had a little trip down memory lane, and there must be lots of City fans who ride bikes. I was a child of the 60's and when I got into bikes in the mid 70's, my dream bike was a Norton Commando. I never rode one, but do you remember the hostile attitude of the time that bikers often...

I'm getting more than a bit fed up with the quality of my TV reception. It was always bad with analogue, but with this new fangled 'digital', it is even worse. Apart from BBC1, and a few shopping channels, I can't get anything other than a frozen screen. I was walking around the supermarket...

Do you find it depressing that you don't know what you are voting for, when all the decisions are made by people you don't vote for? We have a vote tomrrow, and I wish I was on the gravy train. Why do we have MEP's?

You know, I'm a rebellious sort of person, and governments throughout the world love to keep tabs on their people. They hate it if they can't. We all know the powers that be are always looking for pointers, key words, that can help our 'safety' and protect us from 'terrorism'. So, lets kill...

When we win something, which hopefully won't be too long away, I am going to 'phone, or E-mail, our cousins living in Trafford and politely request that I remove their sad banner. You know what I mean! It would be a real shame if so many of us did it that their lines of communication to the...

being taken over by jouveniles obsessed by sex? Other forums have been more or less destroyed by people like this, and subjects like 'what is your favourite body part', or whatever, have no place here. I come on here to have a bit of a laugh, feel sorry for myself ,whatever, but I don't need...

I went and got myself a new car a few days ago, a Peugeot 206, and as soon as I switch off the air conditioning button, the windows steam up. And they really steam up, very quickly Does anybody know why? Informed answers as to what the problem is will be much appreciated.

But if I did, I would have lost yet another pound. Does anyone ever win?

You don't have to iron your shirts! Just pull on a jersey and you're done. I hate ironing, and I don't have to do any now for months, apart from my trousers.

I've not had a fag for four days now, and it's not the nicotine lust that is driving me mad, it's the fact that I am constantly thinking about the fact I am giving up smoking. I can't eat a bowl of cornflakes without thinking about it. I'm doing it cold turkey, but I want to give up. Please...
