Sage? Is it a big box full of accounting software?
No - it's a big box full of herbs.
lol. both wrong; its a combi microwave oven, to replace the 30+ panasonic that is getting long in tooth. nice i hope. betting i dont get close to the 30 odd years service
Don't you just love our govts ability yo plan such a thing as cop26.
When organisers of COP26 unveiled the vehicles that would ferry VIPs around the global environmental summit, electric cars were the obvious green option.
But it has now emerged that there are not enough power points in*Glasgow*to charge the fleet, leading to the embarrassing prospect that massive generators will have to be shipped in to provide the energy.
Ha, very green Boris.
Diesel generators?
I'd make the delegates walk to and from their hotels. Or they could cycle or take the bus. Don't see the problem. That's the 'Green Future' they want for us proles.Tthey'll always have their Zil lanes though.
Looks good. All stainless and glass. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2f66728f71.jpgQuote:

It's built like a Mercedes tank. [emoji23] Even the door is soft close
Today I've been a Man in Black:
Black pinstripe suit
White shirt
Black tie
Black cufflinks
Black leather strap on my watch
Black socks
Black leather shoes
Black overcoat.
No - I was not trying to be a member of a 'two-tone' pop group, but sadly was attending a funeral.
I couldn't rustle up that much black Barry (is that a surprise with my choice of attire) but I bet you looked very smart.
my bro in law only wears black and white. :doh: sister gets quite frustrated:lol:
I like lilac, something slinky, with sequins maybe :lol:.Quote:

supposedly getting new meters fitted today so i will be 'powerless' to do anything about it;)
They've been threatening to install new water and electricity meters for a couple of years, never happens though.
Signed up to a new 2 year fixed deal with my current provider in the summer, one proviso was I had a smart meter installed. No problem, arranged the date, booked the day off, and despite the confirmation emails, no one turned up, and then the day after I get an email to say they couldn’t make it due to unforeseen circumstances and could I call them back to rearrange... no apology no attempt to contact me. Suffice to say I will be playing hard to get!
Who did you go with Alex?Quote:

I wonder how watch collectors cope? :)
They probably enjoy resetting them all.Quote:

another ball-ache we could all do without. I think we should have a lockdown at Xmas whether covid is still a problem or not.Quote:

Send me lug width and your address and I’ll send you a strap and a tool to change it [emoji846]Quote:

It will still probably take me a month to get around to adjusting my watch. I mean I could do it right now but... you know.
Great. My power is off. Scottish Power think it's a fuse in propery as no reports of anyone else.
didn't you say they just changed your meter the other day?
could be a coincidence.
I know, so many watches, so little time :(Quote:

Funny how often cooling towers are pictured in articles relating to pollution and climate, all they emit is water vapour.

I guess that's what comes of Googling 'smoking chimney'!
Pictures 1 and 2 of that article have some remarkable similaritiesQuote:
