    Good morning, well done Snap on the kettle it looks great. No Lidl near enough for me sadly.
    Wonder if anyone can help, my computer has lost its sound, and it is very frustrating
    all connections OK, speakers on, all mute buttons I can find are not on mute. so I am puzzled
    It was OK until DD helped me to restore myfavourites list, and then all went quiet!
    She thinks she may have pressed something by mistake, but we have no idea what.
    any suggestions appreciated, but nothing too complicated please.

    If Windows, you could try going back to a restore point if you have nothing important to lose. Search for the version of wondows you have and restore point on google. WARNING you will lose anything done after that point.
    PLUS see my previous post, can I be trusted? LOL

    Afternoon all,
    I think there should be a re-definition of my nom de plume, should read Eejit, Numpty, Plonker, Feel or just plain Idiot.

    Twice this week have been a proper BH.
    Start of week warned a chum about the 75 shamboo being easy to open and to carry it upright, 2 days later my Bag for Life is very clean and smells of apple

    Then had a chat with my father about being careful when I use the clippers for our hair (moneysaving). YUP! BH strikes again, and this morning doing a tidy up with the attachment in the mirror in bathroom, with 11 for front and 9 for sides, pretty good job. Then…… trimming sideburns and neck etc without any attachment, setting ZERO, went well. Then mind wandering and listening to radio, what’s this I see? I missed a longer bit at the side.. TOO LATE…….. clippers applied to offending hair… Decimated…. Baldy patch of 2 by 4 centimetres at side of heidbangers heid! :eek:

    Did think of making the rest the same, but, Nah! If workmates say “You have a baldy bit”, I will reply “Yup”. If asked what happened will say “ Sex game went wrong” and see what they then say LMFAO. :cool:


    Live and learn, unless you are a smart@ss like BH :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    :eek: Feeling tearful and needed cheering up thank you braveheart :D

    Why oh why am I :rotfl:, sorry Snap it's just the image I have of your Clown foot, slapping its way to Lidl and back :rotfl:

    I was persuaded that we didn't need a new kettle, we don't that's true as this one isn't a year old yet and I have a brand new spare in a cupboard somewhere :o :rotfl: :rotfl:

    :D:D Yes the clown foot is a big improvement from dragging a tender weak lump :T Minimal pain now & less swollen :D One day I will walk 'normally' again :rotfl:

    I didn't need a kettle either but this is so so beautiful... how easily I am pleased :o

    This laptop when new had no sound from beginning and I drove neosi mad wanting sound on it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    He had already been sent insane telling me how to bypass windows 7 and download windows 10 . Imagine the scene me with new laptop infront of me talking to neosi on phone .

    Him telling me what to do (like texts essay style :p) and me frightened incase I pressed wrong thing :D

    Then when no sound I was :eek: so on phone again but sorted it in the end :T:T:T
