Has anyone used the govt scheme to get a heat pump from Octopus? Any thoughts/ advice on this? My gas boiler is over 20 years old, the water in the system is black and I've just been quoted £1000 to clean it. House is elegable for the grant. Heating / hw costs me an avg of £36 p/m for the last 12.

There's also a (sort of) new musical instrument shop in Birmingham too. Hobgoblin Music has returned home from exile (along the road and apparently on another planet). We're back where we belong at 4 Priory Queensway, B4 6BS

In June 1934 the British Union of Fascists - the Blackshirts - staged a rally at the Olympia in London. One protestor after another was singled out and beaten up by the crowd. Here's how Ronald Blythe described it.
Description of the BUF Olympia rally, at which a series of hecklers were violently attacked by Blackshirts. The sadism, Blythe writes, reached "an erotic intensity". Stanley Baldwin's private secretary expressed shock and dismay: "It was a deeply shocking scene for an Englishman to see in London."

You’re correct, and thanks for pulling me up on that. I don’t really want to send a T1000 back to 1984 to assassinate Sarah Connor before she gives birth to the future leader of the resistance. Could I perhaps interest you in some pregnancy diet plans for her, or exercise tips?

Watching a rare film in which Jason Statham plays a loner with specialist survival and combat skills who is haunted by his past, and who becomes embroiled in a plot where he feels compelled to abandon his loner principles over a point of honour, duty or pride.

I dreamed that I was at a comedy night featuring Jim Davidson and Rick Moranis. Jim was tiny after his act, about 6 inches tall, and I was carrying him around on a string to make sure he didn't get squashed. He was clutching a normal sized blue drinking straw.
