We all know and shake our head at those posters on various web forums that are just chock full of their own self-importance and sneer at all opinions that do not concur with their own, throwing tizzy fits when they don’t get their own way, tell the forum owners / mods how the site would be...

Just back from the weekly shop at Asda and spotted a couple of racks of kid's Disney costumes at £12 a pop - very cheap for Rip Off Britain. I was in a rush (and don't have a kid) so can't tell you what exact costumes were there, but the point of sale has them as genuine Disney, not knock-offs.

I saw Cars on DVD on a trip to America and for Christmas back in the UK was given a UK copy. Finally got around to watching it tonight and was surprised to hear a voice I'd not noticed in the American version. Playing McQueen's agent Marv is Jeremy Clarkson - best known for presenting the TV...

Finally saw High School Musical on UK TV over Xmas. To be honest it's not geared for someone of my age - knocking on the door of 40, so I found annoying spoilt teens a bit too distracting to fully get into the film (though I did like the performance of the lad who was into baking - nicely...

The GF and I headed to my folks Christmas Afternoon with The Hound From the Pound: Cupboard Love - hoping for that morsel to drop from the kitchen worktop A new toy to play with That cat won't harm anyone now Still living in hope for a stray bit of turkey Never...

Hello all. It’s been quite a while since I was on here. I stopped visiting because of the monotonous regularity of a core of members who use the site to belittle anyone and everyone they can bully, spitting upon others from their self-proclaimed pedestals, whining, griping, arguing and...

*Edit - if the photos are not all showing, they can be seen here: http://isctuff.fotopic.net/c1120525.html * The GF and I spent a long wet weekend on the Welsh Coast. When it looked like there was a break in the weather, we headed to the ruins of St Dogmeal’s Abbey – populated between the 12th...

My GF goes to a monthly meeting of a local business women's group - networking, sharing ideas support etc. They put her up for the Welsh Woman of the Year competition. It has a number of categories and she was entered to the Best Return to Work category - for such instances as returning to work...

My mother has finished three days work on a new movie "Death Defying Acts" http://www.myriadpictures.com/film.php?film=68 She was booked for four days, one of which was to be a scene with Catherine Zeta Jones, but they ditched the scene a week ago (but she still gets paid for four days)...

It has been enquired as to why there have been no day trip pictures for a little while; the main reason is my not getting around to editing and upload pics. So I’ve made a start: A few weeks ago the GF, Bramble and I headed to Castle Coch and the surrounding woods. Castle Coch is a small...

The sun continued to shine in England after a night of thunder and lighting in my corner of the country, which did nothing to aid my sleep prior to a two-hour drive to Thorpe Park. But then Dave just had to deal with stifling heat prior to his twenty-minute drive to Thorpe Park. The purpose...

Last Weekend, the GF, Bramble and I headed for a stroll around Roath Park Lake in Cardiff A stroll through the park Brings you to the Lake For a bigger image : http://images.fotopic.net/?id=30331643&noresize=1 The lake is about 1.2 miles in circumference. Epcot fans may find...

It was a sunny day so I decided to take a ride over the city I called home for twenty-two years. Bath – a popular tourist destination. With its little back streets Impressive edifices Areas of green And things not quite what they seem - a simple row of shops? Nope...

This weekend the GF and I headed to the West Wales coast to spend a couple of days in a caravan usually occupied by her folks. Did it come with a soft toy in the window? Nope – it’s the third member of our troop: Bramble She loved sitting on the window ledge watching the world...

Hello all - I just found that some web owners can get pretty offensive if they feel you are stealing their images. In a sadly now deleted thread I posted a web photo found via Google Images - where you google the word it shows the image which you can then see full size and get a link to post in...

Pretty much what the thread title says: http://www.msn.co.uk/htx/sultans_elephant/ Quite a show!

On Sunday, for once it was not raining in Wales, so the GF, Bramble the Hound from The Pound took a drive through the mountains of Brecon: And headed to Aberhonddu with some picnic munchies to enjoy by the canal. Start point by some nice little waterfront cottages: Another bridge...

Been meaning to post this since the weekend. My work has paid for me to take a three day first aid training course and another 1 day refresher a couple of years on and I can't recommend highly enough that if you get the chance, do this. Or take evening classes over a number of weeks. At...

In the UK, one of the telecoms operators has introduces a service where you can send texts, but have them come through as regular phone calls with a digitised voice recorded by ex Doctor Who Tom Baker: On this site, someone has texted lyrics to some songs then put them to backing music...

As some of you may be aware, the GF and I visited Cardiff Dog Pound a couple of weekends ago to see if there was a dog for her. Indeed there was - a pure bred mutt! She's a terrier, but more than that I'd not tie myself down too. She has been christened "Bramble" :D
