At 2 and a half, you are probably out of nappies, at least in the day.

I'll probably get banned for this, but having read through these posts, I feel that for balance, I have to point out that one terrorist, Bin Ladin, financed the death of 2,977, killed on one morning. During the previous three decades, many Americans enthusiastically contributed to 16,209 terrorist explosions in Northern Ireland, and the killing 3,720 over 29 years. This lists 3,368 of them. This table gives the total victims in each of three categories. Police/Army includes British Army, RUC and Irish Security Forces. Paramilitary includes Loyalist and Republican terrorists. Civilian cover the rest. Source: Malcolm Sutton, "An Index of Deaths from the Conflict in Ireland". Year Police/ Army Para- military Civilian TOTAL Each pixel across represents the death of one....

In sunny Alabama, you ought to be able to cook with a homemade aluminum foil / pizza box, solar cooker. Gurgle it.

We need a bit of controversy. Bumper stickers saying "Elon Musk starts training for space flight by wearing Diapers" ought to open things up.

A Solar Photo Voltaic Panel will keep it charged.

What happened to the good old "Starting Handle" with which we used to crank the engine? My Grandfather's Magneto sparked 1920's Rolls Royce had an "Electric Re-comencer", powered by the headlamp battery, which would restart the engine when it was up to temperature, but needed cranking in the morning,. Granny's 1930's Lanchester had an electric starter motor, but needed cranking on cold mornings.

Get out, while you can. Think of the money you'll save.

Brian, can you get rid of that ruddy boat. it takes up a lot of space.

Vanillas don't wear nappies, so hate doesn't come in to it.

There are Lies, damn lies, and computers

Encouraging, that the 'Godfather' hasn't issued a warning.

Anyone who's area has been flooded, probably isn't thinking that the world's population is short of fresh water. This planet is not polluted by people, it is polluted WITH people. TAX CHILDBIRTH.

I wish you well

It was hopefully the last day of harvest, so I turned on the TV to check the weather on Ceefax just before seeing the second tower hit' so obviously the first strike was not an accident. This was terrorism. My immediate thought was "That's an end to New York's support for NORAID "

Some 12 years ago, through Daily Diapers, after some false starts several munches were organised in Birmingham. It seem as though 8 or 9 of us enjoyed the first one, but it rapidly dwindled despite trying one in Leicester, to three of us and when one went to Manchester, it fizzled out. Why ?, well apart from secretly knowing that others were nappied, it was just blokes who didn't know each other meeting in a pub, discreetly talking about what they had already said openly on line, so there was little incentive to bust a gut to attend as in the back of the mind there'd be another chance next month.

Wow ! You must have huge boobs if they reach that far.

That's probably a homeopathic myth based on the scrotum's wrinkles resembling a Wallnut.

When the snacks arrive, should this be posted on the "Big but getting smaller" Club site ?

The expectation is often more exciting than meeting.

In 1962, a lorry driver with his own lorry that I'd met a few times in the pub, wanted a week's holiday. He showed me how to lower the wheels on the trailer and disconnect it, in case I had to; which switches did what, etc: and as I drove for less than 8 1/2 hours a day, I didn't have to have a " mate" in the cab and only needed a car licence. There was nothing difficult about it, but I had been driving a Ferguson tractor and trailer on the farm since I was 8 years old. Too much 'red tape' is the problem.

My father's usual advice to me was "I wouldn't, if I was you". He didn't achieve much, and I have have achieved less.

Age may be catching up on you. I have been doing this for 1/2 my life. With one foot on the ground and the other raised, I hitch my butt over the edge of the wash basin and with the tap running, keep washing until it feels clean.

So long as it's an unknown, unknown ... does it matter ?

Col: Dan Dare, 'Pilot of the Future'. Late of Radio Luxembourg (Sponsored by Holicks) and the front page of "The Eagle" Sadly, being British, he was too much of a gentleman to be a brash SUPER-HERO.

In the 1930's there were rolls of something used for wrapping round delicate objects like picture frames, a coarse net enclosing layers of paper. which in a narrower absorbent form was marketed in the 1950's as "Nappy Roll". It was advertised as a disposable liner in a terry nappy, or for toddlers as a training aid in underpants, presumably under babypants. I remember that my brother's babypants in the late 1940's were made of very stiff PVC.
