I've got a new dentist. When he first checked my teeth, he said I didn't need any fillings. He then took an X-ray and said he could see three tiny cavities, not visible to the eye(!), drilled the fuck...

I nearly had a crash earlier today and ended up be harangued by an irate Belgian. I'm convinced I'm in the right though- what do you think? (I'll describe it switching the lefts and rights for the...

I need a dress for a black tie thing, would prefer the less formal end of the black tie spectrum so something cocktailish rather than super-formal. I'm thinking about these two- have tried both on and...

Does this ring any bells? I used to have a fab recipe for it and am sure it was from here.

Sorry I know people hate these questions ? I want to plan a holiday. Can anyone recommend somewhere that fulfils the following criteria: hot enough for swimming and fun outside in October not a...

Ooh I nearly forgot to mention this. At my gym, day before yesterday- Peter Mandelson, looking a bit shifty. Sadly I only saw him going into the men's changing rooms with his bag, not feeling the burn...

Inspired by the GHD thread- is it difficult to use hair straighteners? I'm a total malco at all that sort of thing and have never managed to blow-dry my hair straight. Does one need skill to do it...

There's an advertisement in my Sunday paper for a personalised number plate that reads "PENI5". Other plates available include W1DOW and GRA5S. Who would want such a thing? Presumably they are quite...

Have you done it? How did it go?

I was wondering about something the other day- does anyone know about early cinema?

There's a hitcher out there with a cracking recipe for this, but I can't remember who it is. Does anyone know or have a copy of the recipe?

Sorry for all the photo questions. I'm having problems with the colours when printing photos from my new camera (did I mention I have a new camera? 😆) The colours look fine on the computer and on the...

I've always been very anti doing any sort of restaurantish/cheffy presentation at home- am not generally a fan of individual portions and much prefer the idea of a big dish in the middle of the table...

I keep finding that I don't see emails people have sent me, especially if they send two without my replying in between. The way Gmail saves messages as strings of conversation rather than individual...

I've seen lots of posts about HPAD groups- can anyone explain how it works? It's something on Flickr, I think. Can anyone join a group?

Taklk about desperate for compliments ? I was just walking down the street (here in Brussels, Belgium) when a harried delivery driver called out "do you speak English?" in a strong Liverpudlian...

Hmmph, ordered a dress with guaranteed Saturday delivery. Dress didn't turn up (meaning my mother will have to forward it on to me here in Belgium) and still hasn't at time of writing. There's no...

Can anyone recommend a camera bag for a Canon DSLR camera? Do I need to get a Canon bag to ensure things will fit? I'd ideally liek one big enough for a couple of lenses too- is that possible?

Can you suggest a good photography magazine? I'm a beginner at DSLR photography, have got a Canon something-or-other.

Hmm, my brother has left his wife. Very much a one-sided thing, no children involved. I'm finding it hard to deal with- my SIL has called me a few times and I really struggle to know what to say to...

Was thinking about this today and wondered whether anyone else does it. I often find that I try to multitask in ridiculous ways, eg feeding the baby while eating my own lunch while talking on the...

Any tips on this? I've lost lots of weight but have another 7lb to go to be at my dream goal - I'm finding it hard to stay motivated as it somehow seems much less important now I'm well within the...

When you wear jeans, how much of your foot can you see (in heels and in flats)? Do your jeans touch the ground at the heel (again, in heels and in flats)? Thanks and apologies for such a mind-numbing...

Hmmm, I need two dresses: 1. something for a black tie dinner. Needs to be at the less formal end of the scale- think cocktailish rather than full on. Short is fine, long ok if otherwise relatively...

I like the idea of having my legs waxed, rather than shaving, but am put off my the whole regrowth issue. The lovely thing about shaving is that you never need have a hairy day, if you don't want to,...

What's it like? I'm thinking in particular of the northern bit (Roundwood?) but any information is helpful. Has it got a suburban feel or more small market town? Does it feel safe (as much as anywhere...

Am planning to make this for the first time tomorrow. What do you usually serve with it?

Sorry for the barrage of questions. I have a PDF application form to complete. Is there any way I can do this by computer or do I need to write it by hand? It's an email attachment, if that makes a...

Phwoar, I think I've got a sebacious cyst ? Has anyone had such a thing removed? What was the scarring like? Mine is only about 4mm big so not sure what to do about it.

I need to make a British cake for my son's nursery open evening (for parents to eat, not children). I make a cracking Victoria sponge but is that a bit dull? Am never sure if it's one of those cakes...
