Yes but isn't there a ritual with a rolled up trouser leg or something?

Also need to buy/borrow a new scanner, as our previous (fantastic) one wouldn't talk to the new pc we bought a few years ago

They can be had for a song nowadays.

BTW. Are you sure it's the scanner, rather than the image program, that's causing the trouble?

If you can download a TWAIN driver for it, you can scan into pretty much any image program.

My image program is an ancient version of Image Pals (Copyright 1992-1995), but it happily "Acquires" from my Scanjet 3670, via a downloaded TWAIN driver.

But PINEAPPLE surely exposing your delicate tracery of varicose veins to the world is a thing of beauty??? He Who Knows has a complete London Underground Map on one leg, so useful if you ever get lost in London!!!

Alriiiight! Which one of you comediennes is going to come wipe tea off my keyboard, now? Bad pee-pul!

I remember talking to the operations centre of Tiddilupty Water, our local purveyors of fine Adam's Ale. Because the water went off with no warning. Had a lovely convo with one of their call centre peeps and she told me that she always fills her kettle before bedtime, because she knows how quickly water disruptions can happen, and wouldn't want to be without her morning brew.

My kinda person. I could face the Zombie Apocalypse without a pint of tea to start the day but I'd be a grumpy so-and-so.

I do that too.

Mind you, I also have 40 Litres of stored water.

Yeah, buit we wouldn't want to get into the stores too early, would we?

Put on the kettle and brew up, dress warmly in layers inc tin hat, turn on the wind-up radio to catch the snooze, heat the hot oil and arm the catapults and get ready for some serious zombie action.

Got popcorn?

On a serious note about water, the proliferation of Combi Boilers doesn't help, in the event of a water supply failure.

What is wrong with a combie boiler? When we need to replace our boiler DH fancies a combie while I think it would be a mistake but don't know why.
