Isle of Skye is the place to see beautiful Gorse and Broom in flower, the whole Island has many bushes. you can also get broom in a lovely deep maroon this too is beautiful in bloom.

I do not know of any Horus that live in Egypt and go home for treatment, the only people I know are those that claim to live here and have an address in the UK for the purpose of medical treatment and other benefits. (A bold statement to make I know but all so true) Last year I paid over 4000 sterli...

i think the biggest offenders are those that seem to have open mouths all day long. i saw on Sky yesterday that the NHS is going to spend a fortune on paying for these people to attend fit clubs and diet clubs, surely the cheapest way would be to sew their mouths up so only liquids can pass. The NHS...

Did she have a Wedgie Grandad? or was she generally Commando?

It was probably Lignite LLL, the UK's production used to be Bituminous and Anthracite. Lignite was the fuel found nearest to the surface and was used for Power Station usage, the trouble is it burned quickly and the heat was not so fierce. Of course there is a newer form of Lignite --- Peat.

Hydrogen Sulphide is mainly found in flooded mines and smells of rotten eggs, has the old roadways and workings collapse and they have nowhere to go so they get squeezed into other areas that are open and that is mainly around the shaft area which has the cap above it. Carbon Dioxide if released int...

Subsidence does not normally occur directly above the place that has had mining operations below it, subsidence has a stretch arc of up to 1 mile when it appears on the surface. When a mine is capped there are still the old workings below where the coal was mined, when the roadways flood and collaps...

Not a lot to be said really, the NCB did not seem to have these objections when it mined coal for industrial England. Fracking is less obtrusive than coal mining. When mines were formed they built roadways of up to 8 metres x 5 metres, fracking is nothing like has obtrusive, its just that it is a ne...

Depends on how strong your religious belief's are. I know what I personally think of what is happening to this poor woman.

Under the bed A4 especially at today's interest rates in the UK. The Banks want your money, but are unwilling to give anything in return, apart from Foreclosures, and maybe Bailiff's dropping in for a cuppa.

its unfortunate that most battles (If you want to call them that) skirmishes all seem to have a religious background. Even the skirmish's in Ireland were between the Protestants and Catholics. You would think that people with deep religious belief's would not be involved. In this case I think its a ...

Which Religion was first Christianity or Islam? does anyone know the dates or Centuries? Just querying because Glyph said that everyone born is born a Muslim.

"You were all born Muslim" Can you explain this Glyph? Have I misread something in the post?

In Luxor there are still tatty posters up from the last election between Morsey and Shafik, I have not seen any new posters up for the new elections and they are nearly upon us. In a lot of ways I hope Sissi does win, he seems to have the popular support of the people, and because of this the people...

You mean like Derek Ancora Grandad...He made a fortune from this, I remember he did one of his programs from Egypt, he was so far from the written truth it was unbelievable

Speedy recovery DJ.

Keefy is in Luxor Hospital at the moment, according to the blue side, it says he has started a new health regime, but it seems its not suiting him. They are expecting him out of hospital on Saturday, so members willl just have to grin and bare with it. Sending him best wishs for an early recovery.

It might be water got sprayed in from an over active fishpond pump Kevininabydos

You never know H and G it may be the thing needed to make these politicians put their hands on their heads and look what is stood underneath. I do not know too much about UKIP living in Luxor, but the party for some reason or other is certainly attracting votes from people. To me, and I say this in ...

Sorry G yes "Do Not", there are fores and against's to living in the UK, everyone is different, I got to an age where I wanted to explore the world, so myself and wife set about it. I am sure what you say is correct about living in the UK, freedom of speech, good education compared to many...
