A piece of workshop equipment I want has been out of stock for about 18 months.
Now, just before Christmas, it's become available and I can't really afford it 'til after Christmas.
Bet it'll be out of stock again by then. Big Cry

How do many of the drivers on our roads pass their test, when I passed my test you had you have a knowledge of the highway code. OK you have to still have that knowledge, however recently going to a center with my granddaughter where you had to go through a digital form of the highway code and seeing a group of people who needed an interpreter to help them understand English and who had help in getting the right answers and who could not possibly read our road signs or our road laws. I left thinking no wonder our insurance is so dear. Whistle


I know someone who Invigilates (supervises) these exams locally she was amazed at how many non English speaking candidates who had to have an interpreter passed the theory test with one or two incorrect answer. Being a bit inquisitive she did a bit of digging and found that they had all used the same interpreter , the centre holding the tests were informed and they had someone else sit the exam as a test of the integrity of the interpreter, it turned out he was telling the candidates which was the correct answer for a fee. All those candidates he had translated for had the tests voided. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.

Celebrity, non-professional chef, cook books. Just watching Sunday Brunch and Fern Cotton is releasing her second cook book and range of kitchen appliances. For why, for why? The UK is soooo obsessed by celebrity. If something for sale doesn't have a celebrity endorsement we seem unlikely to buy it. But at least relate it to someone with the skills and expertise of the subject matter. I wouldn't by a book on Defenders by Davina McCall just because she drives one. Big Cry Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

Yep Grenadier ^ ^ ^ Spot on. Thumbs Up

I would be more than surprised if any of these celebrities have had anything to do with the products they endorse, other than turning up for the publicity photo shoot and providing their bank account details in Caymane Islands.

Albums are the new cookbook. Nick Knowles of BBC Extreme Makeover has released an album. As has Shane Ritchie, Anton du Beke of Strictly, Michael Parkinson etc etc. All getting more coverage and interviews than Robert Plant's new album Thud Monsieur Le Grenadier

I have a new album out on Friday, my autobiography entitled "Left school, went to work - my life in five words" is a work in progress. I also have a diet plan "how I put on three stone eating pork scratchings" oh and nearly forgot - the hair spray - because I'm worth it.

See you on Graham Norton show next week Thumbs Up Who says the BBC doesn't allow advertising?
