    The patches shaved are minimal. I might even quite like it. :D

    What... patchy?

    The geese are making a raucous so we got out of the bath and patchy-fir has headed out to check they are ok.

    LNE had lots of patches shaved. At the stubble stage they were ... abrasive.
    Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)

    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.     :)

    If there is no obvious screws its most likely you need to take the keyboard out, they usually clip in.

    Finally I have defeated the beast, the hidden screw under the removable mini wireless card accessed via a removable cover was cunning, the two bolt type screws that went into nuts that should have been fixed from rotating but had obviously come unglued with time/temperature were a different order of magnitude challenge, brute force to bend the cover up plus narrow-nosed pliers finally doing the trick then it was a matter of realising that you had to slide it all forward once the screws were out but google was my friend for that bit.

    Now I just need more memory, a tenner from HongKong or 20 from UK, I have gone for 2gb, internet seems to go both ways on whether 1gb or 2gb is max but I reckon 2gb is minimum to have it work useably so that is what I have gone for.
    I think....

    Yeah, I quite like scratchy textures. I'm always looking for a good rough guernsey for fir. New ones don't seem as scratchy as I remember them being when I was a kid. I loved that scratchy feeling.

    It cannot be worse than his face, which he doesn't shave at weekends often ( sometimes from Thursday evenings) or on days off. :D.

    Came round from my op in January with ECG electrodes still stuck on me but I'm not quite so hairy that they needed to shave me.:)

    Mind you the morphine meant I wasn't especially puzzled or surprised to find them.:D

    One of the dogs has wind. At least I hope it is a dog. I don't think I could forgive my husband.

    My eyes are watering. Just booted them out and shut the door but it doesn't solve the lingering. Have sprayed Oust, but that's also offensive at 4:30am.

    Doozer just woke up and asked why everything smells of poo. I can't stop laughing! Overtired.

    Smoke alarm just went off for 5s, stopped for 20s, went off for 3s and now stopped for 10 mins and counting. No sign of any smoke. Thoughts?
