More aircraft noise ?

Is it my imagination - there seems to be more aircraft activity over Ealing skies of late.  Imagination or reality?

Any recommendations for removals firms?

Sadly we're leaving lovely Ealing for Somerset in the next month and I wondered if anyone has any experience of removals firms that they can recommend or if anyone has any general advice re what to look out for? We'll be moving a houseful of stuff and will probably need a packing service too and all suggestions would be really welcome.  Thanks!

Sky not live

I am watching the cricket on Sky and listening to 5 live extra. Sky is over half a minute late, two balls behind with Monty on. This cannot be called live. Why are Sky delaying it?

History is history....

I notice that neighbournet has changed its server (from nnet-server.com/ to app.nnet-server.com/), which has meant that all the read links in each tread are now marked as unread (for me anyway), although I did manage to find where I had left off pretty easily. But, I only realised this was the cause after thinking there was something wrong with my browser and spending several minutes trying to work out what....

Its there a good "Chair" out there?

A major local charity is looking to replace its Chair who have served them excellently for the past 12 years, but unfortunately due to personal reason have to retire. They are looking for someone who can steer them in to the next decade and beyond. The idea of someone with a "title" or famous is desirable but not necessary. The main criteria are that they are a dynamic, approachable, structured and experienced person.The charity need to appoint the new chair by September.Anyone comes to mind?

Dandruff problem.

Is there a cure for dandruff, or are those lotions a waste of money - is the condition an inevitable gene thing?  :-(

Know a good solicitor?

Hello everyone, I'm looking for a solicitor (for Power of Attorney), ideally one who will not be 'out of the office' continually or who will return calls!  Even better if they use email, but hey, let's not get too ambitious...I've tried the directory and a search of the forum (found a couple of Chiswick-based lawyers there, but they specialise in wills) but not much feedback at the moment. I promise to provide feedback on whoever I find.

CPZ so good.

Our recent CPZ is working so well. The roads are clear and uncluttered. The holiday period helps too I guess.  Four cheers for our new CPZ Zone JJ! Saw three cars with Penalty Notices yesterday pm - serves them right!   ;-)

Military hospital closure

Forum MessageTopic: Military Hospital Petition      Forum Home  Posted by: Paul Fisher Date/Time: 02/08/08 23:04:00  I had this email forwarded to me by one of my friends. It is a petition with the aim of having a dedicated military hospital to treat those injured on operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. As the email states, this could be done by keeping RMH Hasler open for this purpose. We need at least 5,000 names to this petition and any readers of this Forum who feel they would like to add their weight to this cause would be appreciated. My friend has served with the Aeromedical Evacuation Sqn in Iraq and Afghanistan so it is a subject close to my heart.Dear allThis is a great idea. RMH Haslar is set to close, but is still operational and could be made into a great home for our injured service personnel. Some background: '2 Para' alone have on their current tour sent back over 50 casualties to the UK, and even that many cannot be accommodated at Selly Oak Hospital. So when all of the casualties from other battle groups are added to this figure, how is ONE ward in ONE NHS hospital going to cope? It cannot, and as a result the individual troops are sent home to recover relying on NHS visiting services which themselves are over committed.We need a dedicated military hospital if servicemen and servicewomen, who have been committed to hostilities and injured, are to get the medical care they rightly deserve.A lot more than 5000 names are needed for this petition to survive, and quite cynically, Downing Street has put a time limit of one month - during the summer holidays - for this to be achieved. Please support it - please copy the link below to confirm your signature on the petition. Please forward this email to as many people as you can. Thanks.http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Wounded/ The petition was created by Denzil Connick and reads: 'We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Create a dedicated Military & Veterans Hospital within the UK.'Kevin Shore K Shore MBE OStJ.WO1(MA)PRMC Warrant OfficerPrincess Royal Medical CentreDevil's Tower CampBFPO 52 Tel: 00350 5 5186Mil: 98531 5186FAX: 00350 5 5303e-mail: GIB_PRMC_WO1Of course your right to protest about the war in Iraq and Afghanistan is respected, but we should take care of our service people when they are returned home badly injured.......THANKS

Recycling question

I am puzzled. Where do I recycle fruit juice cartons? I out them in the green box but the men rejected them and left them there. They weren't the ones with plastic tops.
