    Favourite shop to visit.

    In the 80s it used to be Dixons and Computerama were I got to play on computers but these days it has to be Decathlon in Lakeside. I popped in with the kids yesterday to pick up a few presents for my nephews and managed to fit in a bit of boxing, scooting, football, darts, archery, hula...

    Fifa

    So, so far the two countries that won the 2018 and 2022 bids have been cleared. The only countries that have been criticised are ones that didn't win. BBC Does that seem suspicious to anyone else? (Ignoring the fact that Russia didn't supply any email accounts because the computers had been...

    Teachers are morale low; they get told to teach basic 3 Rs & then have to spend 40% + of their time doing ofsted stuff instead of teaching. NHS told to treat patients properly and be ward hygienic/basics & then spend fortunes on new computers and "managers" that don't do any of the basic stuff...

    The Kill Shot

    Ok Zoner's a question for you all...In my early days of paperwork (at the office, at home or wherever) when we did not have computers and the technology of today, unless a fire caught us out we felt quite safe in the knowledge we had the papers to cover things. What do you think would happen...

    We have a 52 Renault Clio. Really reliable motor, until recently. Been finding that occasionally (maybe once a fortnight) it won't start. It'll crank but it never catches. However every time after about 5 mins of trying it'll finally start. I'm fairly relaxed about it, but Mrs Pubey isn't. It's...

    Doesn't this just some up what it was like growing up and exactly what the kids of today are missing out on?
