My friend just bought a house that she plans on renovating. It is a pretty big house (4 bedrooms, 2 bath) that was built in the late19th century and she told me that the realator told her that the house and all of the other houses on the street were the houses of people who worked on the railroad. There was actually a railroad right in front of the house but it is now a trail for biking/walking/blading etc. Three of the bedrooms are small but the realator said that at the time it was built those bedrooms and closets would have been considered fairly large. I guess they would have been because during that time people didn't have all of the "stuff" that we have today. Things were more simple. It just got me wondering about different architectural designs over the past few hundred years. Why did a lot of kitchens have pantrys, what were those little windows on top of doors for etc. I think I learned a lot of this in school but I either wasn't interested or I just don't remember.

I checked a few splitter programs, quite cute really but the trial version only does "50%" and I am not sure of what. Or one splitter put in a watermark all over the movie. Or, worse of all, at one point the program took so much space that it used up all the memory (more than 20 Gb free at that time). I assume I get the memory back but wow.

I simply have to know from some of you who may be my age (50-ish). I am very, very happily married. I wouldn't trade my wife and family for anyone or anything. But I still occasionally have vivid dreams about a girl I knew and loved in 1975. I saw and talked to her her once 10 years ago (she lives 500 miles from me and it was not a planned meeting at all!) and afterwards I cried like a baby, like I had lost her all over again. I guess I just want to know if anyone else goes through this (or is going through this) or if it is just me?

I've bought a new car. I live in Northern Ireland and the car is being delivered from England in three weeks time. I have not bought it from a dealer as such - it is a company that does hire purchase, personal loan, personal contract hire etc.

My question is what kind of condition can I expect car to be in. Any miles at all on the clock i.e. it obviously has to be driven onto transporter, if so how many miles on the clock is acceptable? Will the plastic wrapping be still on the seats?

You can probably tell I've never bought a new car before.

Anything else you can suggest I should check for?

Thanks

My question is limited to those living and working in London (I think the housing situation in other regions are less tense.)

Will it be too late if you can only afford to buy a property 4 or 5 years from now? For example, you may not have enough deposit at the moment, so you can't buy yet. But after a few years, when you save enough, then the price may increase too much, you can't buy a (good) house, too.

So, is there hope for those who can't buy now?

Scenario:

You are driving in a car at a constant speed. On your left side is a valley and on your right side is a fire engine travelling at the same speed as you.

In front of you is a galloping pig, which is the same size as your car and you cannot overtake it. Behind you is a helicopter flying at ground level. Both the giant pig and the helicopter are also travelling at the same speed as you.

What must you do to safely get out of this highly-dangerous situation?

Of course, I know the answer, from an environmental point of view, is to conserve energy. What I don't understand is how this is accomplished.

Is the idea that, by insulating your house, you lose less heat, therefore your house is warmer, therefore you can turn the heating down, remain warm and use less gas ?

Or, is the idea to minimise the amount of warm air escaping our houses because this is contributing to global warming ?

I've always assumed the former but it occurs to me that all the insulation in the world is useless unless we turn down the thermostat - you still end up using the same amount of energy. I wonder therefore how many well-insulated homes still have the heating too high and are therefore using too much energy ?

I'm sure this is just my lack of understanding so, please, someone set me straight.

Cheers

I spent ages wandering round Waterstones this morning and couldn't find anything that grabbed me. So, have you read a real page-turner recently? I'll give anything a go (except Dan Brown!)

I choose Caramel as it is old fashioned, mild, and smooth. No sharp flavors and no surprises. Sweet too.
I am oldfashioned at heart, a strive for peace,and I prefer my life without large ups and downs. LOL I do not think I am sweet but I do seek the sweet things in life.
