Nice People Thread No. 15, a Cyber Summer

I do have a bin for compost but it's only an old dustbin so I can't get a huge amount in that. When I've worked out where everything's going I'll sort a proper compost bin. a quote thats copy and pasted from Chris m's post
Husband make his out of pallets...looks ok and works well.... 3 sides pallets joined and base I think is the ground....

That's pretty much "just wrong". If I saw one cheap enough I might be tempted to try one, but I wouldn't wish to make it a regular item.

Macaroni can get so "cludgey"... thick and nasty ... and I'd expect it to be like that to be in a pie, so it just wouldn't work well.

I know it seems so wrong - yet it does actually work.

I've only had ones from a petrol station's chiller cabinet and they were good, I dare say proper ones would be even better

Has anyone been watching "The Disappearance"?

I must admit, I'm finding it very good indeed.

I do a trawl through the Radio Times each week to see if any new stuff is starting. I'd have missed loads of really good stuff otherwise!

I have still managed to miss the odd good programme, though!

As someone said on another thread, do we really want to belong to a club that threatens its members if they want to leave?

It's really interesting how strong opinions are on this.

They're not for me then.
I'm more your 70p purchaser

I try to only buy them when they're on Special Offer

GDB Isn't it? My 22yo DGS is vehemently in favour of staying in, (so much so that I wonder if his employer has warned their many UK staff that their jobs will be at risk if we leave, though I haven't asked him) whereas my DS who's 31 and self-employed wants Out.
ETA We didn't get to vote in 1975 because we were overseas with the military.

That Chateau programme's on 4, it seems to be just after the part where I had to leave/go out and miss it.

Who 'just happens' to have a brand new looking, PAT tested heat transfer machine lying around?

Had it for years, of course.

You never know with Mr Strawbridge, he just genuinely might

Just watching my recording of it.

Those windows with that locking mechanism are a work of art!


Also, makes more sense with the inlaws coming to live there. Maybe they're putting some money in, too!

Interesting that the gas tank heating thing came free with a government grant.

Also interesting that the chateau isn't listed. Just goes to show how many chateaux France has got knocking about, that they don't need to list them all! :rotfl:

They're very brave, living on a moat with two toddlers! :eek:
