Really impressed with Jeff Lynne at Glastonbury last night. Fabulous performance and every musicician and vocalist was excellent. There wasn't one spare part amongst them. Also everyone had a smile on their face. Lovely to see in turbulent times such as these. Good music does the heart good! More pl...

Thanks a lot for the info and nice pics.

Mike,
It's about 40 minutes on the ferry from Rhodes. Just off the Turkish coast, but it is Greek. Iv'e heard some really nice things about the place.
Phil

Has anyone been the Island of Symi near Rhodes? I am going there on the 8th June for a short break and staying at the Pedi Hotel.
I'm especially interested in the beaches and tavernas in the region.

Ruddy French! They love a good strike.

So did I Mike
Not sure what to do at the moment.

I need to have a rant. Please excuse me while I get my soap box out again. I bought a very nice radio which has airband on it. It's a Tecsun 660. It's a great radio The reviews are good. My trouble started last week when I turned it on and it burst into life and then promptly went completey dead. Ab...

I presume you didn't have your satnav at the time you had this arduous journey through France. As they will give you info on where the nearest petrol stations are. Sorry unless you meant that they were all closed being a Sunday.

I agree with you Andy absolutely. It's just that there is so much scaremoungering about what might happen. Nothing of what has been said is proven regarding the EU. It's just that we hear so much rubbish from politicians. As for the French and the Germans they want to dominate us one way or another ...

Oooh. Someone's got all emotional.

Strange how most people don't even keep the speed limit even in this country.

Iv'e just found out that if you are caught speeding in France then as from 2017 you will definately be prosecuted where as if you are flashed at present you will not be prosecuted. It's too much hassle. I have that on personal experience. Ooops Bonjour monsieur Policier :oops: Another good reason fo...

Sorry I know it's a bit late but I just noticed your comments on this site. I've just bought a Tom Tom 25 and as far as I am aware you can't get free map updates unless you pay stupid prices. Like you my BM has an iDrive sat nav which is okay but it does have probems, hence I bought the Tom Tom. Ple...

Has anyone seen the latest on Status Quo. Check this out. www.statusquo.co.uk/lastnight.html

I'm going to see it at the O2 in December. It's going to be really something. What a shame. Had to end sometime.

Has anyone got lying around on their bookshelves or loft any books by Captain W.E. Johns which he wrote as SC-Fi. He is well known for his Biggles books but he also wrote science fiction. It is these that I am interested in obtaining.

I love your remarks beefsteak. Very funny. I have a friend who said to the caller when asked,"could I speak to ---", she replied, "Well you could try ringing the local craetorium. So they asked why is that? So she replied, "because she's dead"!

Phil

Just a general comment. I've had lots of unwanted calls lately. Nothing to do with accidents but they ring up and my phone often says AL International or International. When I answered there is a short delay then someone says "hello, Is that Mr Philip English", and then they proceed to try and ask m...

I would like to sell this camera which I have had since 1996. Still in pristine condition. It takes nice photos. Battery required. Original manual included. Is anyone interested?

Me and my mate HatfieldApprentice went to see Purple last night at the O2. They were absolutely phenomenal. I've seen them 3 times since lead guitarist Steve Morse joined. I didn't think that they could get any better but last night was incredible. They even did a lengthy encore. There isn't one wea...

Mike,
He's a mate of mine Hatfield Apprentice

It's 2009 model. Just to be clear. I don't mean postcodes. Its the co-ordinates.
