No worries! I was wondering what could possibly be wrong with WTCS - you had me worried there! :) I watched Beyond a Reasonable Doubt a couple of months ago - from what I can recall there were a lot of plot holes and the ending was a little on the obvious side (well maybe now it is as that...- Miss Golightly

Adult Boys
Considering what most people have seen online following the aftermath of the Eminem concert here in Dublin (it's all over the internet) I can honestly say I am extremely concerned about where things are heading regarding excessive alcohol consumption and drugs. I mean I have seen some sights in...- Miss Golightly

The other day I was walking up to my local supermarket and a guy was coming towards me wearing a t-shirt, shorts and no shoes whatsoever - just ambling along with his shopping bag perusing the newspaper. The last time I saw a guy walking along the street with no shoes on was in Sydney on Oxford...- Miss Golightly

Thank you! I'm sure I am leaving some of my faves out though! Did you like While the City Sleeps? To be honest I didn't know too much about it and it was another Amazon recommendation so I haven't heard anything negative about it - just wondering what the detractors say about it? I'm doing...- Miss Golightly

Remembering Grace - Life Magazine Special
Yes, it is a series - I have the Remembering Audrey, Remembering Marilyn, Remembering Liz and Remembering Jackie books - they're nice collectors items - for serious fans a lot of the photos would have be well known but they're still good books nonetheless.- Miss Golightly

Autumnal Thoughts........
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one! We had a bit of a heatwave here in Ireland this Summer and it was lovely - the weather is now a little cooler but still sunny and bright. Still Autumn is my favourite time of year - looking forward to cooler days and digging out all my scarves and heavier...- Miss Golightly

James, Rjb1, & Esteban68 - Well it seems my jubilation was a little on the premature side - the time is now 13.15pm yet my clock has now skipped into the not too distant future and now shows the time as 4.10pm! [huh] I think this might be a job for the experts!- Miss Golightly

I'm sure both clocks could do with a good clean (the one in the kitchen is beyond grubby!) and that will be definitely on my to do list down the line. I moved the level ever so slightly as you advised and it's now only running 12 minutes fast which is a vast improvement (once I'm not relying on...- Miss Golightly

Shangas & Esteban68 - thank you both for your help - I'm going to give it a go and see how I get on - usually the clock ends up around two hours too fast so hopefully with a little tweak it will keep better time. I have another clock in our kitchen that usually runs around 10 minutes fast - I...- Miss Golightly

As I'm really not sure what I'm doing here are two photos of the inside of the clock - is the lever you are talking about the one at the top? Would I move it to the centre or more to the left?- Miss Golightly

Pensioner Chic
I used to pass this lady in my old neighbourhood and I have to say she looked wonderful every day - her hair/make-up was always immaculate and her clothes so well put together - I always smiled when I saw her. Probably the best place I have seen for Pensioner Chic is the south of France -...- Miss Golightly

Thank you! Believe me if I was driving a Scenic to France I would have it full to bursting point with antiques on my return! About adjusting the regulator - sorry, but what exactly is a regulator?! What would I need to do? It's a great clock but completely runs away with itself - it runs...- Miss Golightly

Two finds from France - the table came from an antique shop & we were lucky enough to be able to get it back on the plane in oversized luggage (needless to say we weren't flying with Ryanair!) - someone put casters on the legs some time ago but we'll leave them on it - they have been there for...- Miss Golightly
