Hi. I'm 44 years of age, have a lovely O/H of 24 years. I have a 22 year old son and an 19 year old daughter. I am enjoying life, now that I have realised that life experience outweighs youth. I love fast (big) cars, heavy metal and Playstation/X-box. I am not afraid of anything much, except getting lost. My only ambitions are to make at least one person smile, every day and to grow old as disgracefuly as I can. I have worked as a training manager and generalist adviser for 8 years.

  • I am looking for a good free online game to play with friends all over the world?

    Anyone have any recommendations for me to try. I don't want to spend hours reading complicated guides or downloading masses of stuff

  • Are there any sites out there which can count calories for UK foods.?

    I have tried lots of free online calorie counters, but there are lots of food we use in the UK which can't be found on the calculators. I would like to be able to type in the food, in list form and have the calculator add them all up for me. I don't have time to do them all individually each day.

  • How can I motivate my 17 year old teen to continue to look for work?

    She has been turned down so many times because of her lack of experience, that she is getting more and more depressed every time a 'thanks, but no thanks' letter comes through the door. I want so much to help her, but don't know where to go next. We have trawled the phone book and done face to face cold calling. She has written letters, applied through Job centre plus and applied to agencies etc. We jump on every local interview opportunity, which has proven to be a fruitless exercise over and over again. Does anyone have any ideas?

  • Horrible squealing noise coming from engine when starting the car?

    Nissan Primera, 2L,slx N reg (very old) petrol, manual gearbox, 97000 genuine miles on the clock. I have taken it to the garage and the mechanic doesn't know what the problem is. He has tightened the alternator belt, but thinks it may need a new one. Could this cause a loud knocking type squealing when the engine starts. It gets faster when revved up and disappears if I rev it a couple of times. Its not the fan belt. Its running okay and still accelerates ok. Any ideas?

  • Is it usual for marine urchins to lose their spines?

    Our black urchin seems to have shed lots of them during the course of the day. Is this normal? It seems we may have ich again, despite precautions. Help! We are trying sea-chem, garlic and a water change was done yesterday. I don't wanna lose all our fish again.

  • I have inherited a health grill (like a George Foreman grill)?

    It has no instructions with it. Can anyone tell what I can and cannot cook on it? Do you need to use oil on the hotplates if the food is technically dry? (like fish fingers) How long would a pork chop or steak take to cook? Does it brown the food, like when you're frying or grilling? Thanks.x

  • This joke is a bit rude. Read if you dare?

    Two women friends had gone for a girl's night out.

    Both were very faithful and loving wives, however

    They had gotten over-enthusiastic on the Bacardi

    Breezers.

    Incredibly drunk and walking home they needed to

    Pee, so they stopped in the cemetery.

    One of them had nothing to wipe with so she thought

    She would take off her panties and use them.

    Her friend however was wearing a rather expensive

    Pair of panties and did not want to ruin them.

    She was lucky enough to squat down next to a grave

    That had a wreath with a ribbon on it, so she

    Proceeded to wipe with that.

    After the girls did their business they proceeded to

    Go home.

    The next day one of the woman's husband was concerned

    That his normally sweet and innocent wife was still in bed hung over, so he phoned the other husband and said:

    'These girl nights have got to stop! I'm starting to suspect the worst.

    My wife came home with no panties!!'

    'That's nothing' said the other husband,

    'Mine came back with a card stuck to her bum that

    Said..

    'From all of us at the Fire Station.

    We'll never forget you.''

  • Has anyone tried the new walkers crisps flavours yet?

    I tried the cayenne squirrel flavour last night and wondered if anyone had tried the other new flavours and what did they think.

    The Cayenne squirrel flavour are okay, but I thought they were a little too spicy for my taste.

  • Oil central heating question?

    I don't usually use the water heating facility as all my appliances are cold fill. I use a shower which heats the water and have a dishwasher. My question is, does it cost any more to heat the water at the same time the heating is on? In these difficult times every penny counts doesn't it?

  • Feeding marine shrimps and hermit crabs?

    We have now put our remaining marine fish in a hospital tank, after losing most of them to marine ich. We intend to keep the fish in the smaller tank during their copper treatment period and leave to leave the large 200 gall tank as reef only for 6 weeks. We have two hermits crabs, a peppermint shrimp and another little crab which is an illegal immigrant which came in hiding in a piece of new rock. What, if anything do we need to feed these critters on while the fish are on their holidays?

  • I am at the end of the line with Playstation games?

    There just don't seem to be any left that I haven't got. (Obviously just the types of games I like) I now have to consider buying a new console, but feel PS3 are still too expensive and X-Boxes seem huge in comparison with the slimline PS2. I'm in a real quandary about what to do. What do you think? Will the cost of PS3 lower dramatically soon and what about the ring of death on X-box, that I have heard so much about? The games seem too expensive too, for both consoles. I picked up one yesterday, retailing at £39.00. Thats too much by any standards I think.
