I tend to go for the cheapest, but this one is on the top floor, so any leaks could be a total disaster. The present one is a Zanussi and has lasted for simply ages.

if the bosch is as loud as our siemens then the flat downstairs will be seeking a noise abatement order if it is a conversion.

we're in a purpose built block with a 1m thick concrete floor between us and the flat below and that seems to stop most of the noise but they could still hear it.

Only if you didn't wear that gigolo suit you wore last time for the interview!

She should do, as she's the nicest NP around.

I don't know. Ask PN.

So, I bought a jar of coffee at the 99p store today... and just went into the kitchen to make a coffee (now I am a master of the kettle) ... and noticed oddities... very heavy, solid sterling silver, salt/pepper set - clearly in daily use as it's on the top with salt strewn around it; teaspoons are kept in a half pint mug .... a solid sterling silver mug; tea caddy ... solid sterling silver.

Somebody tell me this isn't usual .... surely not everybody except me's living like this??

Wheezy, your cheque is in the post! Whilst I can be nice, I'm definitely not the nicest NP. There is too much competition in here

I suspect that chewy's interview was for a much higher powered (and remunerated) post than mine. I'd happily take the payrise though I don't think it would be long before I was found out! Apart from anything I don't look much like Clooney (though we do share a birthday).

I met somebody in the late 90s who was using this as an income strategy. He'd discover which jobs paid the most - and he'd create a CV that contained all the relevant buzz words.... now, these were jobs that paid "stupid money".... he figured if he got the job and lasted 2 weeks then he was doing well, but the stupidly high salary made it worthwhile.

I never had the b4lls...

Was in Lidl today buying a few odds and ends and realised that it's not worthwhile emptying your basket while you're at the checkout until the very last second so you can run to the next checkout when they open one next to you.

Or else watch everybody well behind you suddently getting served well before you! :mad:

The flaw with that is that if there are, say, 6-8 people behind you, then even if you leave it to the last minute to empty your basket, most of those 6-8 people are prepared to kill you in the rush - and they're ahead of you as they're closer to the next till.

Unless you can lift your basket over onto the next roller and walk round the front to join it!


Anyway I read an earlier argument here about the (aborted) prosecution of that 17 -year old for his inappropriate tweet, which I think was pretty much an example of the police trying to look busy by sticking up for a famous person when we'd all struggle to find one when we needed one.

In contrast this was an example of an inappropriate tweet with life-or-death consequences. In France he'd be whisked to court under their good samaritan laws.

Ah, yours must be different to most of the ones I've seen; most tills I've seen are singles, not doubles... so to reach the next roller is a full 8-10' stretch
