Exactly! I knew it would cost him dear when he said she had gone quiet about the court case.

So now we know ~ £300+ for the solicitor, around £500 fine and £2000 for a rug and he still gets a 12 month ban reduced to 9 months if he does the Drink Awareness Course.

When first taken out of the packing and unrolled, the rug mayhave bulges that will prevent it from laying flat on the floor. This occurs due to tight rolling during shipment. It will disappear in a day or two. If the problem persists please put a heavy flat object on top of it for sometime and it will help in solving the problem.

There were articles published today about the effect of beauty on the functioning of the male brain; I'm sure you all picked it up, yes?

Love this comment from the DT which seems quaintly apposite on this thread  ;)

Quote
Here in Turkmenistan we have famous national saying - "Man must talk small words to woman, because woman have small brain, but she have big beauty". I translate it, sounds much better in my own language. I think this news article is finally sience proof we looking for. In United Kingdom woman allowed to talk with man on serious subjects? Not in Turkmenistan! If she try to talk big words, we just laugh her. Woman's job is look beautiful and take care of house, but not try to think. Her brain not work in the right way.

Well why would I? I don't go out that much so I have a deal that gives me line rental and broadband on the home phone and along with that I get free phone calls from my landline to ANY UK landline at ANY time on ANY day of the week. My phone bill is therefore £NIL despite me always being on it.
As I see it the mobile is only for use when I'm out of the house and unlike some people I do not make calls from my balcony or the pavement outside using my mobile whilst puffing a Marlboro Lite.

To be honest it's whatever suits your lifestyle. Most of my mobile calls are for less than a minute and are along the lines of  "I'll be home at XX o'clock" or "I'm at the garage,/shops now. Do we need milk?"
