Oh spirit...where are you? Are you ok?


Good morning everyone.

If one had accidentally broken an empty vodka bottle in the shape of a rifle or musket gifted by ukrainian and russian friend collective from where might one procure another such thing to bear a passing resemblance if not exact same 'brand?'. Is it possible in uk/via Internet?

Indeed, Spirit, are you okay?

As to vodka bottles, http://vodka-store.com/en/vodka/293-kalashnikov-vodka-ak-47-bottle-.html

I'm not sure that you'll like the price, though. It may be better just to come clean. Glass breaks. It's part of life. Move on.

With that lot, do you get a large enough discount that you can simply sell them on with delivery mileage and make a profit? Or will they stop supplying you if you do that?

And more importantly, do you get to choose the colours?

So plumber is here fitting water softener, replacing the stopc@ck etc etc

Earlier in the year the water board replaced the the water supply pipes in the road and turned off our water for a short time to do so. It now appears they very unhelpfully tarmaced over the stoptap at their end.

I phoned them and they said it often happens and they can send someone next week to find it and remove offending tarmac. This plumber has spent 20 minutes trying to locate it (the water board can tell us where they think it is) and can't find it.

He's now freezing the mains!!!!

That's not as scary as it sounds. However, there is a clever 'screw-in' stopc@ck that can be fitted without turning off the water. Sadly, I can't find a link.

Sadly this is so believable. Still at least you can get it sorted now rather than in an emergency situation.

Second day back at work but I definitely wouldn't describe the way I am feeling as wel.

This is how we got my mum's almost new car for a lot less than it was elsewhere. I think she could have made money selling it straight on too.

just back from watching England win the Test in Kolkata.Great game , and only £18 for a five day pass in the best seats!

One evening I thought I'd check for a Restaurant on my iPhone. It appears Apples marvellous new mapping system ain't so great! It dumped half the City centre in the Hooghley river!:rotfl:



When I tried to look for the Restaurant it bought up nearby places as in Darjeeling, which was over 600k away :rotfl:

Flew one of the Internal legs on Boeings new Dreamliner. Fantastic Aircraft, made mainly of Composite Technology, basically an exotic type of plastic! Cleaner air, bigger windows, quieter and a smother ride.

We got Google Maps back as an app today. I imagine it's a worldwide launch.

Eng are doing very well in the final Test too. India still have some work to do to avoid the follow on although it's not a likely outcome.

The Dreamliner is meant to be great as is the latest Airbus. I love the 21st Century. Imagine putting something like that up against the 747 30 years ago! Seriously, everyone gets their own TV screen with 100 programs plus Space Invaders?!
