With them being the biggest solid things on the planet and there definitely only being a single-figure number of them, you'd think we could all agree how to count them consistently and properly. But we can't even do that.:mad:There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -
The trick is to stop looking once you have committed and purchased! I can't imagine leaving it so late to book flights for a family holiday to somewhere specific, just wouldn't have been worth the stress.
Appeared on HUKD so I thought I'd 'confirm' there was no xmas availability :mad:I think....0 -

The first car I met that had six gears belongs to a showyoffy man and the car was the colour of unhealthy poop. I think it was meant to be gold. He was dating someone I knew, he wanted to drive us to somewhere and was most put out when I said I'd meet them there. It wasn't the colour of the car but the nature of the person driving it. People like that, who want to squeeze too many women in their ugly coloured cars and show off tend to drive to be noticed or show off too. I'd rather get there in one piece in my old car and have the freedom to meet some one else, have my own transport and slip away. Funny isn't it...that I couldn't care less about the car, but it can still warn you of so much.....or absolutely nothing at all.
Yes, always have your own transport, even if it's just an Oyster Card.
It's like one of those tips on how to live your life: Never go to a party on a boat. It may be wonderful, but if you hate it, you can't leave early.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
Lydia, I think you can dishwash the covers without a special liquid.
Thanks. I'll try that.

Then you read that the hob's another £20-25, and the hood's another £10-15, and some charge for new bulbs (£4-5) and some do bulbs/filters included in the price.... and then it's getting closer to £100 instead of the £10 you hoped it'd be
I just get the oven done. I can do the hob myself, or my cleaner can do it, and the hood panels can go in the dishwasher now.and wageslave.
I miss misskool and wageslave. Davesnave too.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -
Fingers crossed for Mas.

Lir: is it necessarily bad news that there is a creature behind the oven?
Fir: your a fan of the house dwelling rodents now?
Lir, no, its just I'm facing the oven and can see what's coming out from behind the oven, and its the cat.
:rotfl:Just had a phone call from the recruitment chap, he had a meeting with the person from the Even More Ideal Job today who said it was all very positive about me! Yay!
She interviewed three people yesterday, and I was the front runner! So that's great. She wants to interview one more person next week, and then if this person isn't up to it the job is mine. This interview, I'm told, isn't actually properly arranged, but she wants to do it Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. Then decision Wednesday afternoon. Wants a January start. All very good!

If the airbrick is part of the venting, the easiest way to tell would probably be to put a pan of boiling water on the stove, put the extractor on on a cold day and see whether you can see anything coming out of the airbrick.
I have a vented extractor and on a cold day you can see the steam and air escaping as it is hotter.
Re NDG, just checked, she last logged on yesterday, but hasn't posted for about 10 days. I'm hoping its because she's just busy, or better still, on holiday.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

If PN is too scared to put the hood fan on and leave the house to go outside and listen for it, then I shudder to think what she'll make of the idea of going outside while the hood fan is not only on but sucking steam from a boiling saucepan! :eek::eek::eek:Do you know anyone who's bereaved?
