  • Does anyone have any useful information about the Imperial Jackal Kit Car produced in the 80's (I think)?

    I believe this kit car had very limited production in the UK but is lovely to look at. Thinking about purchase of one stored for a couple of years now, would appreciate any knowledge as it seems hard to find at present.

  • Is The Henley-on-Thames Royal regatta as much fun as it used to be?

    As a young lad back in the 1950's/60's the Henley Royal regatta was a fantastic event for EVERYONE.

    Lately it would seem that those of the 'lower class' are being driven away by the 'elitist' element.

    It would seem we're being driven AWAY from what was initially OUR event. Something the whole town and surrounding areas played a very big part in.

    Does anyone have any experience of the Henley Regatta?

    If so, what are your views?

  • Sally Morgan. Star Psychic? Link to Suicides? Should Psychics take more responsibility for their actions?

    In Bridgend, Wales. There appears to have been a glut of suicides among youngsters, with the possibility that they are all linked by social media sites like Facebook etc.

    The internet is a great media for 'good', but it's also the best purveyor of 'evil'.

    Video clips of TV programmes are spread like wildfire all over these sites, with the 'Sally Morgan, Star Psychic' clips being no exception.

    To everyday, well-adjusted people this presents no problem at all. Infact, I found her and the programme as a whole fascinating, addictive viewing.

    I'd absolutely LOVE to believe in her. BUT!

    Derren Brown and David Blain, both magicians, do exactly the same thing as Sally Morgan does, and you're left wondering, HOW?

    They both admit they're NOT psychic, that it's 'mind-play' at it's best.

    Now what if weaker individuals watch the Sally morgan show? Wouldn't it be 'great' to believe that the after-life is a SAFE and SECURE place to go to?

    Wouldn't Suicide be easier?

  • Is Indian Head Massage any good?

    I've heard 'Indian Head Massage' can be good for bouts of 'depression', 'anxiety', and even some physical ailments like 'bad back'. Has anyone had any experience of the treatment and does it work?

    Thanks in advance,

  • Who here has had a 'Near death experience'? How did you feel afterwards?

    Having had two 'Near Death experiences' which were very similar in nature, I wondered if different people experienced different versions. ie; floating, bright light, meeting loved ones, clawing by demons etc.

  • Anyone here any good with Auto-Electrics?

    Hi All, I have a 1993 Vauxhall Cavalier GLS 2.0i.

    The electrics have gone on the blink. I came out one morning and ALL the elecrics were dead.

    I re-charged the battery, but when I put it back on the ignition light would come on without me putting the key in.

    When I do turn the key, the other lights come on, but the battery light goes out.

    It starts and runs, but I'm afraid to drive it anywhere incase I get stranded.

    When I'm not using it, I have to take one of the battery terminals off to stop the battery discharge.

    Any ideas what this is please??

    Pete.
