Just reading on BBC news website that Norton Motorcycles have fallen into administration. Hope it can be saved. Seems they owed a 300k tax bill.

Keep seeing loads of adverts for these on the T/V. What the hell are they all about and what good do they do? Asked my kids (they are all in their 50s) and they weren,t really sure. Can any of you world wise buggers on here enlighten me.

Spent five hours in hospital this afternoon as have had a weak and erratic pulse since Friday afternoon. Phoned 111 and they said, after some searching questions, to get my sorry arse up to A&E. They,ve changed one of my drugs and put me back on to blood thinners. At least it,s one of the modern ones and not Warferin this time. Will have to wait and see if i need to go to Papworth for a third Catheter Abblation. Oh well, another joy of getting old i suppose.

is being phased out early next year. Shame, i like to run through the news and sport early mornings. Also found it handy checking travel before starting a journey. Just another cost cutting exercise to pay their over inflated, so called stars.

Has this been discussed on here before? Booked my Vectra in for one today and the guy, (who also did my Desmond 
) says that the cost of the fluid has gone up in price due to EU rationing the amount that can be manufactured to combat climate change. Seems the fluid is very harmful to the environment and if there won,t be enough around some drivers might be disappointed. Anyone else have any thoughts?

.. an old film called Sapphire on Talking Pictures, made in 1959 and they just wouldn,t get away now with the absolute racism that pervades through the whole dialogue of the film. Even makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.
