Trouble is .... all that also needs "a little man" to be found/paid for to install it. Which means it'll go on "The List" of things until the list is large enough to make it worthwhile getting somebody in ... and when somebody can be found.

The little man should be a qualified electrician, really.

We once looked at a house with a plug socket on the outside wall. Problem was, it was just an interior socket with some of that plastic trunking running to it:eek:.

Really should be getting on with some work, but procrastinating, as just can't be ar5ed tonight.

Arial, tv is a freeview included TV set, a cheapy.

In which case I'd be inclined to switch off TV for a couple of minutes - the "box" stuff inside it might need to reboot.

Let us know how it goes! Sometimes it feels like everything electrical goes down at the same time here - very annoying. OH tells me the fire alarm in the music room has dead battery, so it keeps chirping. Today he bought a new 9 volt battery for it (it's hard wired, but has battery in case power goes off, and it bloody chirps all the time when the internal battery is dead grrr). He unpacked the shopping when he got home, and now can't find where he put the battery! Now's when I need the rolls eyes smilie! :rotfl: He is getting terribly absent minded, it's a bit worrying.

LOL/Posh Pawn programme on the telly ... one woman wants to pawn her posh stuff to fund a new business/website where she sells triangular plastic strips that go into girls' knickers to prevent Camel Toe

It is quite amusing esp. the idiot who has pawned his Ferrari. Just sell it!

Not been watching the car bits .... not sure if there's one or two blokes with a Ferrari.... certainly one of them runs a Rent a Posh Car business, so just needs the money to fund his new e-cigarette distribution business and won't need that Ferrari until summer (when it makes him the most money).

My tv is doing a weird thing. What ever channel I press on remote it goes to channel 43. It only also lets me watch bbc 1 I think, or perhaps a challenge in the twenties, maybe 26. To watch another channel I have to select it by scrolling through the peg, which is very hard to read on this tv, so not an easy by pass to the tv's temper tantrum.

Any ideas?

That sounds like the start of the Outer Limits credits.:eek: The Control Voice will let you watch other channels after an hour.:)

LOL .. how can she discuss her Camel Toe business plans with her dad... had to laugh when he said it would "fill a gap".....

Ah I suppose that makes sense. I dont understand why the woman who looks like Janet street porter after £50,000 of plastic surgery doesn't just sell her bags.

Looking around for stuff to stick on our walls at the moment. This seems reasonably priced:

I watched the Rocketeer. Have seen it several times before, but still enjoyed it.

For the second week in a row I though "I'm sure I recognise that actor". In the Rocketeer, Howard Hughes was played by Terry O'Quinn, who played Locke in Lost and more recently Joe in Hawaii Five-0. Last week it was the publicist in Romancing the Stone who now plays Evelyn Harper in Two and a Half Men.

It's strange when you haven't caught much of their work in the intervening 20-30 years.

Does it?

I know this guy. And some of his subjects. Not sure how much he char he's. Not into photography so not sure of the merits. I find some of his stuff pleasing. Particularly close ups of derelict lux. Its just not an art form I relate to personally though.
