I was given a bunch of flowers and i would like to dry some of them....what's the best way of doing this?

In preparation for my trip to the Peak District SOON, I'd like to have a sticker ready with the conversion of the most common speed limits in the UK.

I know the "normal" speed limits (for POVs):
30 mph in towns
60 mph on single carriageways
70 mph on dual carriageways and motorways

But I'm sure there are more, local speed limits on the roads, like when you're approaching a dangerous intersection, or there might be less than 30 mph in towns.

Can you tell me which other common speed limits there are?

Good morning, all!

I'm curious again (that's just me ): do you have a characteristic or a preference that surprises people?

For example, I'm somewhat of a bubbly person and people are often surprised at how much I hate light, because they associate "darkness lovers" with gothic / depressed people.

Or, they think I'm a party girl but really, I prefer watching documentaries on TV or read science books which they didn't expect of me.

What about you? How do you surprise people?

Do You Use Facebook or Twitter?

If you do, I hope you are careful:

"Users of social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter could face higher insurance premiums because burglars may be using them to find out their personal details

The Digital Criminal report, which polled 2,000 social network users, found nearly two fifths had posted details of their holiday plans, with nearly two thirds of 16-24 year-olds doing so.

Mr Fraser, a reformed thief, said: "There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that burglars are using social networks to identify likely targets"

Let's be careful out there!

Does anyone know of an easy way to teach their kids the Times Tables?
I was always crap at times tables at school,
Mo can rhyme them of (smart arse)
I have been trying to help Jade but it is so tedious and boring even i am fed up
I did order one of these cd's of the internet but it is crap,
the voice is computerised and it is not a good layout so it sounds very drone like,
I thought because it was for kids it would have been fun and interesting,
Mo said he will help her on Sunday but he has been saying this for months,
So if anybody knows of a good way it would be a great help,
Thanks! xx

hello,

in 'property snakes & ladders' and other such property programmes, when people buy houses to do up and sell on, the houses, when finished, are always shown fully furnished.

do the developers buy all that furniture, plasma tv's, sofas, beds, the lot, just to show off the house? what do they do when the house sells? sell the furniture with the house? does it go into storage? was it hired? i must know this!

How do I delete a blog?

Does anyone know of any face painters or someone who is realy good at drawing/painting in or around the glasgow area? Please PM if you know of anyone or indeed if it's yourself who's magical with art.
Thanks peeps x

Literally. It's developed a horrific stench that's detectable even when the door is closed, and it's almost unbearable when the door is open.

I've cleaned the metal filter (but too late) and tried adding vinegar and washing powder (separately) to the bit of water that remains after a cleaning cycle, but without much success. Washing powder helps for a short period of time but the smell comes back.

The metal filter had paper stuck to it that had come off glasses (noodle sauces) and that started to turn foul, I assume, after being submerged in the remaining water forever.

Apart from regularly cleaning the filter, do you have any advice on what I can do to get rid of that stench?

I'm desperate to do something now while I can still have the windows open all day. Don't even want to think about what it will be like in winter if the smell prevails *urgh*

... on the web, is what I'm talking about!

There's the story in the news (again) that more and more employers search social websites to find out more information about job applicants, and that many don't even get invited to an interview because of their "bad" (?) revelations.

Have you ever searched for your name on the web? And are you satisfied with what you've found? Or are you revealing too much about yourself as well?

I've googled my full name yesterday and must say that I'm quite happy with the results, everything that came up was not revealing anything about me. Has to do with me hardly ever giving out my last name. I make up a fake last name if I'm required to list one (like on stupid Facebook).

And what about you? Do you think you would get hired if a potential employer searched social websites with your name?

Hi all i have started a new group "madeit" it's all about survival from U.F.O abductions to well everything in life so please join and share your survival techniques. Thank you xxx

Ok, I know I'm quite a bit behind the times with this but me and BF have just got MP3 players.

We never had a use for them before but now I'm using the train everyday I need some music to listen to, but I don't know where to start with getting songs (other than ones we already have on CD)

What sites do you think are the best / fastest / cheapest for downloading songs from please?

Thanks

I FIND THAT WHEN I AM TYPING SOMETIMES THE LETTER DOES NOT APPEAR AND I HAVE TO GO BACK AND FILL IN. MY KEYBOARD IS A STANDARD OBLONG MODEL WHICH CAME WITH THE COMPUTER. WOULD A MORE EXPENSIVE KEYBOARD WORK MORE EFFECTIVELY OR ARE THEY ALL ABOUT DESIGN AND SHAPE?

Does anyone know how to remove tough, grease stains from an aluminium hob please?

(Most of the cleaning products are too acidic for such a job!)

Right.

Can someone please tell me how the hell I remove a person from my reader list? They are refusing to remove himself from my blog. I have blocked them for the time being but have no option to remove from the list of readers for some reason.

I do however have an option to add this person as a friend!

Any ideas?

I am thinking of trying out a pretty extreme detox starting with 48 hours of H2O only - gradually introducing fruit and veg and by day 4 or so, some rice. Any site recommendations?

Was it Siavash who started the trend of calling Big Brother "Biggie"? If so, I hope it becomes a meme that sticks as it is really quite funny!

Checking my emails in my Hotmail account this morning, I am shocked to find what appears to look like a 'spam' email sent from me to all my contacts in my email address book. I have not checked my emails since last Friday, and would never do such a thing. I realised this after several emails telling me they had not been delivered to certain contacts for whatever reason.

Here is a copy of the email info that was sent:-

I have changed my password anyway and about to reply to a friend's email to tell her to ignore it.

Anyone else had this?

EDIT:- After waiting for my OH to come back from work, he said it was probably because I had signed up to different websites recently using my email address and he believes this info may have been passed on, although I still find the situation odd! My bad anyways!

I am a japanese, my husband is an American.
my husband is kind , he is not inherently bad.
But
He dose not support for living expenses.

what he is thinking is to be writer or artist or English teacher in Japan or to open art gallely in Japan.

he seems to think that he receive a great deal of income from the project.

however , he dose not understand what need to do that(↑).
first of all, to do that need much money.

now I am in Japan , he is in USA .
we often talk about our liveing money, income etc,
however .when I talk about money , his computer fleeze .
maybe , I think , because he wants to veer off course.

what should I do?

My mum insists on asking me technical questions, i'm self taught so limited knowledge

Thanks in advance guys

Hubby was telling me today that if you banged in either a brass or copper nail or rod or similar into a tree, it would kill it. He wasn't sure what the nail needed to be made from.

Anyone know if this is true or not??

Clearly, house alarms are intended to deter would be intruders by drawing peoples' attention to their presence.

In the past, if I heard an alarm ringing nearby I would go out of my way to investigate. Nowadays I have to admit that I don't bother unless there is real cause for suspicion.

My change of heart came about for two reasons, first there were too many false alarms and second, I realised that I was the only one paying any attention - hence, if it was my alarm going, it would be ignored.

Increasingly there seem to be occasions of alarms being triggered by momentary lapse in power supply, weather conditions and goodness knows what else. On more than one occasion recently I have been woken too early in the morning by an alarm going off that is not silenced quick enough by its owners. This occurrence happening too often will soon become a nuisance.

So, the question - House Alarms, Good or Bad?

My computer knowledge is basic. I have only had my own computer just over a year now.

English / British ' Public Schools' ( which , for non-British readers are expensive and old 'private' boarding-schools , i.e Eton ) : How do they manage to turn out so many confident , and largely successful for the rest of their lives pupils ?
What is their secret , and should some ( publicly funded , free education ) 'State Schools' have something to learn from them ?

Why does the other queue always move faster?

My husband has asked me to design a front web page that he can then use to link to various things, such as our photos on his server.  He will host this so I just need to make it and deliver it to him.

I have no clue how to do this but I am supposed to be the creative one.  Does anyone know of some free software that I can use or can this be done in word or something like that?

Thanks for any help!

which is worse;

* Being totally in love with someone but they don't feel the same about you so you cannot be together...

-- OR --

* Being totally in love with someone, know that they feel exactly the same, but yet you cannot be together for some reason. (No specific reason, just something preventing you being together)

answers and reasons and examples and real-life stories please???!!!

Is this another of those 'worrying commentators'? Looks uncannily suspicious!
Forgive me if it is not....

Can u tell me How to design the a wondorfull advertaisement with photoshop

Here is one for the girls. How do I keep control of my rather large boobs when I begin my running? I am unable to find two short men to run sideways alongside me holding one each to stop the incredibly painful bounce and would really rather not sling them over my shoulders.

I need a very good sports bra, I have several old ones, none of which really secures them - so I am appealing to those of you that have a fair pair and who have found the perfect sports bra.

Congrats to Tom.

Thanks to all that took part in the past month.

This has been bothering me since I swapped around the tyres on the car.

Right a worn tyres diameter and hence circumference is a bit smaller than a new tyre. Yes?

So if that's the case the number of revolutions of a worn tyre travelling a mile will be more than a new one. Yes?

So how big an effect would worn tyres have on fuel consumpition as more revolutions of tyre is from the revs through the gear box from the engine?

Thanks I think I can rest easier now that's out of my head and you guys can have a wee think and post what you think.

Why do some people get so upset about the private lives of gay men ?
Few people feel similarly about lesbianism .
There's 'breaking news' tonight about shootings at a gay venue in Israel , and I read a letter in Bel Mooney's problem-advice column in today's 'Mail , from the mother of a young man , studying at university , who says that she is on valium and sleeping pills , and her husband privately cries a lot , because their son recently told them that he is homosexual . 
She says she 'grieves' for the married life with a wife and children that he 'could have had' .

We don't have to like the idea of what other consenting adults legally do in private , but ( as a 'straight' man , who takes people as I find them )  I just don't get why some people get so worked up about some other people's emotional and sexual private lives .

Have you a son or daughter who has 'come out' as gay , and if so , how did that affect you , or how would it affect you  ?

I agree with Bel Mooney who said in her reply that she'd much rather have a son who was gay than one who was homophobic or racist .

Do we have available on BCUK a Translator Widget or Tool...please? Thanks!

Have been suffering with sore heels and stiff joints - especially after exercise - getting old. Wondered whether anyone has experience of MBT shoes - might they help?
