Xela Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 My Dad collected the Images of War, which was a weekly thing. About 30 years back. I think it was four ring binders full when it finished. From memory, it was really well put together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted February 16, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted February 16, 2020 The old part work magazines were OK. I still have a six volume bound set of the Purnell 'Second World War' from the 1960s. The piss-take ones are the ones with bits of a model kit that cost an arm and a leg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted February 17, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted February 17, 2020 Our family did the "Joy of Knowledge" which all turned into an encyclopedia (you hard to send off for the leather binder.) Probably still knocking about somewhere. But of course utterly pointless now and completely out of date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had something similar a few years ago, ended up costing us almost £1000 in repairs because once one part goes on these things it can cause a chain affect on other parts, and you basically end up paying almost the cost of a new boiler........ This. Our boiler wasn't bust but it was 15 years old and the shower water kept going cold. British gas had (and still have) got an offer on new boilers with interest free payment over 2 years. Hive controls included. We are already half way through the two years, great stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a woman at work who will comment on how many 'syns' whatever you're eating is and if she doesn't know she'll come and scan the packet with her slimming world app. "Oh my god, this is 9 syns! I wouldn't eat that". No? Eat this... *grabs crotch* (I'd never do that) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I’ve been to Yeovil and Street today. Two towns where it appears to be some sort of law or custom that whenever you get to a door, or a shop entrance or the top of some steps or the bottom of some steps or a narrower bit of pavement, you have to **** stop and contemplate life for a while. Da **** is wrong with those people? There’s always somebody does that, but not everybody, everywhere. Like some weird 50’s horror / sci fi **** thing, the **** village of the paused. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post imavillan Posted February 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 20, 2020 I go to Wetherspoons most mornings for a coffee. Theres lots a people having a breakfast, nowt wrong with that, but the amount of noise people make with there knife and fork on the plate is mental. its like a full blown section of the percussion section in a bad orchestra! !!!! Drives me mad. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 The fingernails down the blackboard and the knife and fork squeaking on a plate thing never used to bother me at all and I didn't understand why people hated it. However, about 2-3 weeks ago, it suddenly really started bothering me and if I accidentally make my knife squeak I want to throw my dinner across the room and throw up. It feels like somebody's pulling my teeth out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted February 20, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted February 20, 2020 Thanks to a combination of West Midlands Railway cancelling 2/3rds of the trains on my line because of a lack of available crew, and the highways agency deciding they need to do roadworks on every route away from the station at the same time because, lo and behold, some work needs doing right in line with financial year end, I've just walked in. And the train was rammed, of course. And I had to stand crammed between a bike, a living pile of fake tan that had multiplied, and a family with a screaming toddler, and their dumped pram. Which of course they didn't put the brake on, so the entire journey had the handle bump into the small of my back. **** everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
