Great puzzle even if I did rather muddle through it to start with. Not a fan of long preambles as I invariably fail to understand it all until later but definitely worth the effort today. Many thanks...
I don't understand why anyone would want to. Especially those in the entertainment world who become rich and famous, a lot of them decide start taking drugs such as cocaine or even heroin, why? I can...
Reading another thread has made me wonder about privacy in our gardens. How important is it to you? This is the first house I have lived in where most of my garden is not overlooked and the fences are...

I just measured my height and measured to be about 6'1" 1/2 without shoes and over 6'2" with shoes on. I feel noticeably taller than most of the people that I come across. Do you think this is...
