It is in fact a criminal offence in the UK for an adult to ride a bicycle on the pavement. There are quite a few deaths recorded each year due to this selfish behaviour. I don't know what to suggest to help you, such that you wouldn't get yourself into trouble. Perhaps if you recognised the individual involved, you could take a photo on your mobile, and report them to the police.

Great photograph. A true American showbusiness legend from the days when the word 'star' meant something.

That should include Services personnel from more than the US. In recent years, the UK has supported the US in overseas operations, and we have also lost military. And that includes Blue on Blue fire regrettably.

This kind of reminds me of a television show we had in Britain called 'Who wants to be a millionaire?' where any contestant who was stumped on a question could call a friend to see if they knew the answer, and thereby get onto the next phase of the competition. The press followed up the story with friends who had provided the correct answer, enabling the contestant to get on to the big money question. It was found that the winner often didn't give the friend any money at all out of their sizeable winnings.

Regarding your neighbour and the key, go to his/her door with the receipt and say to them that as they were the ones who asked for the key, they are liable for a half share, and you require that they pay £5.50. Don't bother about whether they don't speak to you again, if they are so bloody rude as to do what they have done - who needs their friendship? I wouldn't let it drop. Go for it!!!

Total shock about this. She was gorgeous and talented. Feel so bad for Sir Mick. They seemed to have a great relationship. RIP L'Wren.

Listening to 'Bron-y-aur Stomp' from Earl's Court, 1975 which the Mods on here have just uploaded onto the LZ channel on Youtube. It is outstanding - Jimmy was superb. They all were. http://www.youtube.com/user/ledzeppelin/videos

Prince has referred to Jimmy in today's issue of The Guardian (UK) Prince: black people don't get second chances The singer speaks out against racial bias in the music business, before revealing the key influences on new band 3RDEYEGIRL’s debut album, Plectrumelectrum theguardian.com, Tuesday 25 February 2014 16.44 GMT Prince performs at Kings Place, London Prince … ‘Jimmy Page was cool, but he couldn’t keep a sequence without John Bonham behind him.’ Prince has spoken out about racism in the entertainment industry, claiming that black people aren’t given a “second chance” in film and music. During a Mojo interview with the singer at a Caribbean island hideaway, Prince criticised the music business, explaining, “It’s box office. I can’t have something like The Great Gatsby on my hands. Didn’t you know that black people don’t get a second chance?” “It’s like Chris Rock said: Leonardo DiCaprio can make one bad movie after another, and he just keeps going. Chris Rock makes a bad movie, and he doesn’t work again. Black people aren’t allowed to make mistakes.” Elsewhere in the interview, Prince discussed the many influences on the forthcoming 3RDEYEGIRL album, Plectrumelectrum, which reportedly features “new music with a sense of history”. On the subject of the track TICTACTOE, he revealed that the song was inspired by a night listening to the Cocteau Twins. “We recorded it in Bryan Ferry’s studio in London, after a night of partying for which the Cocteau Twins was the soundtrack,” he explained. “You can’t understand the words of the Cocteau Twins songs, but their harmonies put you in a dreamlike state.” Sly and the Family Stone, Joni Mitchell, Santana, Miles Davis and James Brown were also named as artists Prince and his band have drawn from. But, after being compared to Led Zeppelin during the playback, Prince wasn’t altogether taken with the likeness: “Jimmy Page was cool, but he couldn't keep a sequence without John Bonham behind him.” Prince has recently finished a sequence of Hit and Run dates in the UK, stopping by at a string of London venues before embarking on two Manchester dates.

A solution might be to buy a smartphone at entry level. You often find that people use only a small amount of an expensive smartphone's features. I am giving you details, and a press review, of an entry level smartphone which has the latest version of Android 4.4.2 Kitkat. According to the review, this handset is giving some of the top end models a run for their money. This Motorola Moto-g is a smartphone at the lower end of the price scale, and it has received great reviews in the UK. (Motorola now belongs to Google). It is affordable, whether you get it on contract or PAYG. I don't know if it is available in the US. www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile.../moto-g.../review‎ The best budget handset around Motorola's back, and it's kicking off its global smartphone revival with the keenly priced Moto G handset. A mid-range handset with a low-end price tag and Android KitKat - okay Moto, I'm listening. First things first then, the Motorola Moto G price. You can pick the handset up in two storage sizes - 8GB and 16GB. The former will set you back just £135, while the larger size is still a very palatable £159. And here's some more good news: both Vodafone and Tesco Mobile in the UK have got the phone on offer, coming at £100 (with a £10 top up) for the former, and £110 from the latter - man, that's cheap for what you're getting. So where does this place the Moto G in the market? Well at that price it has the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Fame, Nokia Lumia 520 and LG Optimus L3 2 for company, but dive into the spec list and you'll note the Moto G wipes the floor with them. Ratings in depth In terms of design the Moto G takes most of its cues from the firm's first, post-Google takeover handset, the Moto X. It's hardly groundbreaking in terms of looks, but the soft, curved edges of the Moto G make it relatively attractive and the swath of plastic feels solid and well built. Weighing in at 143g the Moto G has a pleasing, well balanced presence in the hand without being overbearing, and while it may measure 11.6mm thick in the middle the tapered edges make it feel thinner than it is. Couple that with a rubberised rear plate which slightly hugs the side of the handset too, and the Moto G fits comfortably in the palm, providing a decent level of grip. The Moto G features a water repellent coating which means you'll be able to whip it out in the rain without fear of a short circuit, but it is not waterproof - so no jumping in the pool with it. You can even take the rear cover off and swap it for a different color, which Motorola is pushing as a big customizable feature of the phone. In reality however it just reminds me of my Nokia 3310. Sure, changing covers is fun for all of five minutes, but the novelty soon wears off. Not to mention the back cover is also pretty tricky to remove - you need to really dig your nails in at the base of the handset to get it free. The left side of the Moto G is devoid of any features, while the top of the handset only sports a centralized headphone jack. Both the power/lock key and volume rocker switch are located on the right of the G and these are easy to reach and responsive to the press. On the base is a microUSB port, while under the removable cover is a microSIM port - but no microSD slot. That means if you want to expand the onboard storage you'll have to take to the cloud. The 2070mAh non-removable battery housed inside the Moto G is claimed to give you all day battery life, and I put that to the test - skip ahead to the battery life and connectivity section to see how it got on. The Moto G comes with a 4.5-inch, 1280 x 720 display and boasts a 329ppi pixel density. To put that in some perspective that's a bigger, higher resolution and more defined display than the iPhone 5S - not bad for a handset which is a third of the price. Of course a HD display isn't the only key factor in a smartphone, but Motorola has managed to equip the Moto G with a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor and 1GB of RAM. In terms of specs then the Moto G is actually giving the HTC One Mini,Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini and Nokia Lumia 820 a run for their mid-range, dual-core money - and once again the screen is bigger than these rivals. The Motorola handset even beats the Samsung and Nokia when it comes to resolution. The camera on the rear of the Moto G is only 5MP and this is trumped by the S4 Mini and Lumia 820 and their 8MP snappers. All in all the Moto G finds itself in no-mans land, with a complete disconnect between its price and spec list. This, of course, isn't a bad thing and on paper it offers outstanding value for money.

Mr Jones, I hope you don't mind me contributing to your thread. I found one reference to Jimmy and the Royal Oak at Bordon on Facebook, and a reference within a Yahoo Group. Perhaps an enquiry to either author of these sources might throw some light on the matter. Facebook Billy Walton Band · 1,438 like this. 3 March 2011 at 07:07 · · Our gig tonight in Reeth has been cancelled. We have picked up a gig at the Royal Oak in Hollywater, Bordon in Hampshire. This gig is in Zep country! Jimmy Page used to own the club. 1. RE: in summary - Yahoo! Groups groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/pompey-music/conversations/topics/539 Another good pub gig is The Royal Oak at Hollywater near Bordon. It's ... Jimmy Page lives nearby and has been known to get up and jam. Just a few more ideas ...

You've asked Mr Jones for an answer, so my intention is not to stand on anyone's toes. There are a few sources on the internet concerning this tragic young man (Mr Hale). Obviously, I don't know if the answers on the internet to queries about Philip Hale are correct, but while you await an answer from Mr Jones, I shall copy the texts which I have found. "...He moved out (of Plumpton Place) in 1980 after a local photographer named Philip Hale (aged 26) died of vomit inhalation during a party on October 24th 1979." From allexperts.com backspace wrote at 2010-03-22 17:35:53 "To finally set the record straight: Page was indeed present that night. The "fan" to whom you refer was actually a neighbor who lived within walking distance of Plumpton Place and grew up in the village. His name was Philip Hale, he was 26 years old and a graduate of the Royal College of Art. Hale and Page became friends after meeting at the Ronnie Wood gig a few years before. He overdosed on heroin supplied to him by Page (Hale had not done heroin before). He was found dead in one of the guest bedrooms at Plumpton Place the following morning when a member of the household went to wake him with a cup of tea. There was a coroner's inquest which Page was required to attend and answer questions. Page and a distraught Charlotte attended Hale's funeral and moved out of the house shortly afterwards though it took a long time to actually sell it. Ironically, and more famously, a similar tragedy ocurred again the following year at their next house (in Windsor) when Led Zep drummer John Bonham was found dead following a night of binge drinking. "

Thanks for this. I think they own a yacht, and that is an expensive upkeep, even by rockstar standards. A residency in other key locations, along the lines of the one he has performed at the Royal Albert Hall for years, would be a good compromise, both for him and fans.

Eric once said he wouldn't be able to retire due to the high expenses him and his family have (maybe he was joking)

The crowds in supermarkets pushing and shoving to get at the last minute bargains.
