01:4038997QUOTE "I remember the name Elkington Ed, as there was a van in Dover with the name on the side. Can you let us know where you found this one, so that interested members on here may visit it? I`m actually finding unusual things on here quite interesting, which makes me think, how do you define boring? Serious on this one." UNQUOTE
Dedicated manhole spotters may visit it outside the Paint & Decor Centre 84-86 London Road. Don't all rush at once.

11:0939011There was a manhole cover with Dover Engineering Works on it in Tottenham Court Road just round the corner from Oxford Street, in 1965. Is that boring enough?

14:4339144If Paul`s post #82 ever comes to fruitition, may I recommend Diana above as it`s first secretary, as clearly, you cannot match her knowledge on this subject. I`m afraid there is something more boring you should all know about, as you are all paying for it through your tv licence, and you can all sample it as well. When I was at work yesterday morning, the younger chap in the office had Radio one on between 8 & 9. It was on low just as background sound, but there were (2?) dj`s on there, and they were talking and giggling to each other a load of absolute crap, and while I respect all other peoples views this was crap, big time. I think they played about 5? songs within the hour, and although I`m not into the modern pop scene, if I was, I would have expected to hear more music. A female was also periodically joining in, and the whole programme was as if these 3 individuals were there for there own private talk in, with a sort of thrill that other`s were listening to them. And this our licence money! I haven`t heard Radio one for many years, so, is this the norm? The weather forecast at 8.30 on there said, snow for northern Scotland etc, then after it was finished, the dj had recorded it and played it back 3 times, while in a fit of laughter. BBC = Boring British Crap.

23:5439186Hey I have just finished building my time machine, and it seems to work. It does need some tweaking though. At the moment it only seems to travel forward through time at a rate of one second per second. Bit boring really.

13:4239325Sorry, it`s the right thread Howard, and more appropriate for this post methinks. Alec, I don`t buy newspapers, the news of the world and Sunday mirror were both mentioned on the original unavoidable news piece on yahoo, otherwise I wouldn`t have known about it.

19:1439348abortion is a very emotional topic colin, certainly not boring for those involved, especially the unborn baby.

19:1739350You`re right of course Howard, but I`m merely viewing it as somebody else`s private life, and therefore, somebody else`s personal business, not the gutter press or media`s.

19:2439463The lowest score ever on a specialised subject in the 37 year old history of the TV series of Mastermind, was achieved last Friday I here. A 28 year old software man, got only 5 questions right on his chosen subject, the life of Mustafa Kemal Alaturk, founder of modern Turkey. I don`t think I could answer 1 on Gordon Brown.
