Thank you. As I wanted to get the parcel dispatched ASAP, I decided to pop in Max Spei;manns and get a label print- out from a USB stick, but the suggestions will be looked into in case of another printer problem.

It's not a return, just an ebay sale I made last week.

I need to send a parcel with DPD this week but my laser printer is faulty. I rang the shop and he said all we want is the "barcode" that the they will send me. I didn't pursue further explanation due to his accent (nice chap really). So, in what way do I transfer this barcode over to the shop, ie, take a photo? I couldn't find much on the internet about this.

Isle of Mull is an island off the Scottish coast, Mull of Kintyre is a promontory further South. (I missed post 10!)

I record most programmes so I can skip through, watching live I just mute the sound.

"We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us", the Russians once said. Perhaps they do nowadays.

Do you think that is the main reason in asking the West for money, for himself?

Lubricating oils are essential for all machinery (even electric vehicles) and many other uses. There are synthetic oils, but apparently it is not possible to make them without fossil fuels.

Well I live on the outskirts so I might escape it (for a while).

Saw one or two late on Sat. night, perhaps they work mainly through the night? They did the steep roads on the estate where I live.

Any guess as to where the new boundaries would be?

I was chosen to learn and recite a poem (at the age of 10/11) in front of the whole school and some visiting dignatory. It was called "The Bridge", it told of a bridge which spanned a railway line and was chosen from the school's library. I can't remember any of it, apart from "here stands the bridge that spans the cutting", or something. That was my only moment of fame. Edit- just located it, by J Redwood Anderson.

Makes one ponder on what kind of education the great poets of the past did have.

It will be from higher taxes on non-doms and oil/energy companies- oh, I nearly forgot, and the good old motorist.

I had a small parcel delivered last Saturday by Yodel, at 9.35pm! I also did not receive an item by R.M. which actually did have proof of delivery on their tracking site. It was classed as a Large Letter, so could have been put through a nearby letterbox. Fortunately it was only worth £1.50, but the delivery info on their site gives the geo co-ordinates, I don't know how this works but they didn't tally with the ones for my house but somewhere nearby.

Poetry is the highest form of language.

I will buy you my FAVOURITE dictionary for Xmas!

Be surprised if they would do it when temps are so low (ie, frost damage) but I could be wrong.

When my father left lower Walkley in 1971 (2 up-2 down) due to demolition, the rent was I think 8s/6d per week (42.5p).

I had to look that one up, I thought you meant she was good at rabbit stew! If only!

Well it was in her house and she's a good cook and bottle washer!

Not politics but religion. A close friend (a woman) and I watched the TV prog on Mormons. Now I've read religion(s) fairly widely and thought it would be a good idea to express each other's views (she was brought up in the Anglican/Protestant culture). I said "what do you think about the notion that some people are reluctant to engage in discussion about personal beliefs/existance of gods etc because they fear losing their faith? She then changed her composure, repeated what I said, and suddenly jumped up from her chair and with raised voiced said "I'll clog you something- something!" and scurried into the kitchen. You can guess that's the last time I'll mention religion!

I remember the big VW sign.

Doubt they'll be electric.

That's a relief, as the chap looks like me!
