Never gave it a thought. It's just a Next top not a Cov shirt.

You'll never get a decent match and if there's any depth to the scratch it won't be levelled with the rest of the paint, simply by painting it over. There's a number of dent/scratch repair companies online. Some will come to you. Some are covered by insurance so check that out too, but there's usually the excess on your insurance that you may not want to lose.

City of Leicester & Leicestershire - The Good and Historical Stuff
Parafox replied to davieG's topic in General Chat
My dad used to take me there when I was a kid. I remember sitting on a wooden board placed across both arms of the chair so that I was at the right height for the barber comfortably cut my hair. One of those Leicester legends, much like Brucciani's. -

I despise the FA and all the money grabbing changes simply for their own benefit. They utterly disregard the smaller teams in the lower leagues and simply want the cash cow of the PL. **** the rest of football. I also blame Sky and their ability to bribe.

What a building! What a waste! -
Can I also add, the statement that those that are still out of work after 12 months of support from a "work coach" (a person that is only interested in their appraisals rather than the person sitting in front of them) will have their benefits "removed completely" is vindictive and threatening in the extreme. What does he think those unfortunate people will do without ANY SUPPORT. The man is a nasty millionaire who does not care. To him we are all serfs and need to bend the knee and tug the forelock to the wealthy and powerful.

We need to find it first. It just doesn't exist. It seems to me that reporters and the press in general are just "chasing the dollar". Money over substance. You only need to look at the guy who "tries x at x and here's my thoughts". Wasteful and simply clickbait. That sort of trash wouldn't make physical newspapers but it's cheap and easy to do online. One of the most meaningless articles I've seen in the LM online was some bloke on a bike riding the new cycle lanes around Saffron lane/Aylestone Road and commentating on his ride. Utter bollox. -
As some of you may have seen, I have posted about my own experiences of MH with regards to my daughter. She will never be capable of working in any meaningful way. Sunak's statement INFURIATES me. Whilst I can agree there are some claimants that are scurrilous and work the system however they are a TINY, TINYminority of those claiming support from the state. Callous, thoughtless, right-wing vote grabbing rhetoric. Ultimately and unnecessarily scaring those who are genuinely unfit to work. Also, there's no explanation of how the plan will work. There's mention of those "genuinely unable to work". I assume that will be based on an assessment process. That already exists and is not fit for purpose. It's entirely biased in favour of the state and not the patient. My daughter has had 2 face to face assessments to examine if she was fit to work. Both times the outcome was against her. We went to appeal and both times the decision was overturned and in the first instance the panel were, in their own words, "aghast" at the initial assessment. I dread to think what could happen if Sunak and the vile party he leads gets elected. Not just for MH but all those that are vulnerable through poverty, personal situations, illness, disability, and so many more.

Fair enough. I wasn't trying to undermine anything you said in your OP. I was suggesting that nicotine is dangerous based on what I'd read and on anecdotal evidence, which I admit isn't a reliable source of "facts". Having subsequently looked at links online I found those that I posted which seemed to support my contention that nicotine had wider ranging health risks than simply addiction. However, I have read the link you posted and I agree that the proof is there in the research that nicotine is "not dissimilar to caffeine addiction". It refers to other health risks without being specific. I do wonder then, why those links I posted suggest that nicotine is a potential cause of arterial sclerosis and high blood pressure which are contributary factors in strokes and heart heart attacks. I'm not trying to be clever. And as far as I was concerned, I wasn't making "unsupported presumptions" as you suggested. I took time to look into the wider range of illnesses that could be attributed to nicotine. I concede that the source of nicotine was previously and primarily through cigarette smoking and that the process of combustion resulted in harmful chemicals being given off. I have looked further today and our very own BHF says this, which pretty much refutes what I found yesterday: Nicotine, while highly addictive, is not a significant health hazard for people without heart conditions. It does not cause acute cardiac events or coronary heart disease, and is not carcinogenic. But nicotine is a problem for people with heart disease. Thanks for your knowledgeable responses. Hope you slept well.
