This is called a silent migraine and I suffer these from time to time. My problem generally stems from bright or obtrusive lighting and I get zig zag lines, flashing lights and patches of blurring. The worst of the headache is usually some tightening but a full headache can develop if I...

And they used to put kids down the mines *** they were smaller and could mine in small places.... Lets not bother with progression *** "we've always done it like that" and "it never did me any harm" :bonk: Anyhoo - The matters you raise will either fall under the auspices of your local...

I just can't believe there is an argument about copyright infringement going on :shrug: seems to have taken the thread in a weird and irrelevant direction. I have spent best part of an hour looking through this site and I am partly peeing myself and partly gobsmacked by some of the horrific...

Ah you're a Curvy Kate girl then? I saw that unfurl on FB yesterday too. I think some of the anger was down to the fact that the original image was a social comment about rape/sexualisation of women and the curvy kate image copied it directly but "prettied" the image, put some flowery font on...

I have also been struggling with stress and depression for the last 3 years. I find it does affect my photography mojo in that I often take loads of pictures for them to languish on my computer because I can't motivate myself to do anything to them. I eventually found that I couldn't even...

OH picked up a couple of these before Christmas and I have only just got round to buying the batteries and charger for them. The battery is large and is similar to the type used in laptops. I bought a Panasonic battery for it and paid £13 for two of them and I bought a charger for a tenner...

I had the problem Mark described in a bathroom that was 3 exterior stone single skin walls. It was a tiny room but even with a relatively large rad it was still freezing. Problem solved by skinning the walls with 2x2 frame and heat reflecting plasterboard. The gaps between the the frame was...

I am also a happy Giffgaffer. Have been with them for 1 year with a very stable network and the 3G seems faster than I was getting on Orange, however, I also changed to a newer iPhone shortly before going to GG and it could be down to that also. I have never been affected by outages. They can...

I use it all the time and put up reviews also. My SIL pointed out that 1 star hotels often get great reviews because expectations are low and 5* are often subjected to overly-harsh criticism as expectations are high. I think that a pinch of salt and a good bit of reading between the lines can...

I had one of those burgers tonight, they have a strange texture, in fact I've still got a bit between my teeth. Anagram of hamburgers = shergar bum

My husband told his kids (and nephews) that the car had a "turbo" button - which was actually the hazard warning lights. He would press it and accelerate sharply while making a loud wooohooo. They totally believed it for years, often asking other relatives if they had a turbo button or pointing...

Gorgeous scenery and an abundance of wildlife about here. Great deals in the winter months. There hermitage walk is nearby and is stunning (if a little busy during the day which affects wildlife). Aviemore - Rothiemurchus has lots of wildlife too, check it out. Great deals here for short...

There is no cap, however, data usage is monitored and any activity deemed to suggest that the data is not on a phone but over a computer (by tethering) or in an iPad/tablet (not allowed on goodybags) will result and a warning and cancellation of current goodybag and further infringement will...

I'm on it too and have been for about a year. Just had a phone stolen. The SIM blocking service was very fast - I raised an issue on the website and the SIM and phone were blocked. I had a reply within an hour. The new SIM being sent out was a different story though - I took 21 days to get a...
