    Chicken Supplies/medicare

    Hello all. I know quite a few on here are chicken owners and I'm currently chicken-sitting for my brother. I noticed one of the chickens had bubbles on her eye yesterday and a quick google leads to me thinking it might be a respiratory infection. The brother has advised me to not take her to...

    Shoe repairers

    I had a pair of shoes I've fallen in love with rehealed recently at Harveys plus a boot which is older than me repaired where the sole had come away. it cost £8 [something] for both! I thought this was very reasonable! Not tested the boot yet (I had it "fixed" by timpsons a couple of years ago...

    First car

    My first two cars were VW polos, as were my brothers'. the only reason I don't have one now is that there weren't any in my price range in yellow when I was looking for my latest car! They soldiered on through my first few years without ever letting me down... ever! And when a guy reversed...

    Black and white cat Baswich query

    my advice: get a safety collar from pets at home and one of those barrel things which you can put a note inside. write a note to the owner, put the collar on the cat and see what happens! if you try to follow it home it might know you're there and not go or go to some strange place. if you just...

    not sure about phone signal (for making calls) butIi can confirm comparing 2 samsung S3s - one on EE and one on 3 - the 3 would NEVER be able to connect to the internet in the centre of town which caused lots of frustration, whilst the one on EE always seemed to be able to get on the net. on the...

    Catiquette

    I would concur with the vets trip advice. Esp if he is making a fuss when about to go (although he may sound in pain it may be more of a "I'm feeling rather uncomfortable and I'm a bit scared I'm about to make a mess" noise rather than pain - but then he may well be in pain - it can be hard...

    The Royal Baby

    I have to admit that I did get rather excited yesterday and kept checking news sites all day until it got to the point of "NEWS!! there is no news!!" memes appearing everywhere. Then when there was finally news I found myself quite let down it was a boy and not a girl. But then I also didn't...

    Welcome from The Shire Horse, Stafford

    went to the shire horse this evening. the food was DELICIOUS and the portions just right. However I ordered a cup of tea and after I'd poured the tea noticed the mug was covered in bits of food, esp round the rim - and then looking at the milk jug it was also spattered in ... something...

    Stafford Black Out!!

    It must have been on Facebook but I'm sure I read people saying that car alarms were going off as well - today we've had the power out for a bit and Vault boy's car alarm went off earlier this morning. Now a neighbour's house alarm is going off (but I've been on my PC so would've noticed...

    American Airlines Scam or Virus?

    Indeed we get about 5 of these a day at the office for flights and cruises and holidays - all just get deleted immediately. there shouldn't be any need to cancel your card. like WMR says it IS really simply to email pretending to be someone else.
