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.

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.

Are you Ralph Moat?

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.

I haven't read "papers" but I made my post having looked at the effects of nicotine, albeit online: How Smoking and Nicotine Damage Your Body | American Heart Association Nicotine | Understanding Nicotine & Its Effects on Your Body (drugwatch.com) www.verywellmind.com/nicotine-addiction-101-2825018 Clearly you're better informed than me but there is a definite link between nicotine and what I said in my post. I think the links I have posted suggest that my points aren't "unsupportable presumptions". I never claimed it was "primarily" responsible for strokes etc but can a contributary factor. As can be diet, alcohol, lifestyle etc. I'm not that thick.

I'm not usually a fan of sci-fi but there is something hauntingly realistic about this and the possible post-nuclear scenario. As I've said earlier, having played the game helps, but I could watch it as a stand-alone series.

The artwork on show is very impressive.

Paragraph one. Yes and has been for maybe 25 years. Is that a decent reason to regulate smoking more stringently? I'd say so. Do you then think that the NI contribution is ringfenced for the health and wellbeing of our population? I'd say not. In the same way as road tax isn't spent on roads.

Does that include the funding of treatment for addiction, illnesses caused by the "personal" use of naturally occurring addictive, mood/mind altering substances?

I would demand 25% commission on any purchase. I've got a lifestyle to maintain and the pension doesn't cut it.

So sad to read this. It must feel overwhelming for you and Mrs "Drums". It made me think about what people say to themselves or to those in grief/worry: "there's always someone worse off than you" as if that's going to make them feel better. I am in a situation of crisis with our daughter and reading your post called to mind the phrase I mentioned. However, whatever crisis is going on in one's life is entirely personal to them and therefore about as bad as it can be for those directly involved and those involved don't really give much thought to anyone that might be "worse off". That doesn't mean they don't get it, but they like you, are in the midst of their own emotions, worries, fears, motivation, thoughts about the future etc. I hope that over time, things will settle and Brendanball will be the thing you vent on most.

Nicotine is dangerous and highly addictive chemical. It can cause an increase in blood pressure, heart rate, flow of blood to the heart and a narrowing of the arteries which in turn, may lead to angina and possibly, a stroke or heart attack.. Nicotine may also contribute to the hardening of the arterial walls, (arterial sclerosis), Sclerotic arteries increases the risk of blood clots (thrombi) forming and being carried in the circulation to other organs. Thrombi can block arterial and capillary circulation to the major organs such as the brain, heart, liver, kidneys and lungs as well as causing a DVT, or deep vein thrombosis which can be limb threatening. It's not a "safe" thing. I appreciate you linked nicotine to not directly causing cancer, but there's lots more it does affect, physiologically.

Do electric cars have gearing? I thought gears were an extra weight that would be an additional drain on battery mileage.

Without the checks and balances in our political system, even with their faults and potential for abuse, our politics could be so much more like America and people like Trump would be supported by those that align to the right wing zealots in the USA, and there's plenty of them sneaking about

Your technical knowledge is unsurpassed

The consensus seems to be that following @FoxesDebtragic loss, it was best to lock it, possibly temporarily, to avoid any possible posts that might have caused further sadness. I don't think any posters would have deliberately posted but it was best not to take the chance. We all know some on here can be stupid, thoughtless and ignorant.
