    Why has no-one invented a self cleaning oven yet? They'd be millionaires (to be said Del-Boy stylee)


    Wow ETA I've done all three levels apart from sand blasting the table which is waiting for after dinner and the HHI (I don't iron unless absolutely crucial :rotfl:) without really noticing. Need to do an S&S of the living room then I can sit on me bum until dinner time :T
    So, there are these boys,
