    The great steak & kidney debate. What should I go for ?

    Hi, I seem to be the bloke that oraganises the caterers for dinners at a "gentlemans club" Thier is a debate whereby do we have pud or pie at the meeting this month. I personally prefer their pud, but they also do a fine S&K pie. I shall inform the lads as to popular opinion based on...

    Fellow pro & budding news-readers, have you got any tips ?

    Hi, No I am not BBC, just the humble bloke that selects and reads out local news for recording onto tapes that go out to the partially sighted and blind folks in the community. A charitable unpaid thing, but I am supposed to make it last 20 mins, and always have at least 30 secs to "fill in"...

    Health & Safety has gone mad. What can we do ?

    I really must steer clear of gadget shops. Do you agree ?

    Hi Folks, I am fatally attracted to anything that is interesting but possibly useless. This does not do the bank accounts any good. My mountain bike now has flashing lights, digital speedo/timer thing, siren instead of a bell, etc. The Sat-Nav, the CD changer, this computer with two routers...
