...but can you limit yourself to 2 a day:D
Good point Grant, with verbal diarrhoea the sky's the limit. Perhaps I should be thinking 'quality rather than quantity'. At least until I learn how to post pictures.
I've just spent the last week in London, and seemed to be the only one who has been wearing a poppy.
One hopes others will follow in a few day's time. :rolleyes:
Armistice Day is the 11th November. I think to be complaining that people aren’t wearing a poppy when it’s still October is a little premature.Quote:

Just a mark of respect to all who sacrificed life or limb during ww2 afaic. I wouldn't be here without them.Quote:

Respect to them and everyone who served.Quote:

I guess there is nothing wrong with 'chubby' :lol:
Nope, especially when it's the fat end of a cucumber;)

I originally purchased a cheap upright steamer from Amazon but it was useless so I invested in the 'so called' best steamer available, the Jiffy 2000M, which is made in the US.. like this:

They are normally about £250 but I got it really cheap via an Amazon Warehouse deal which described it as slightly damaged but it's absolutely brand new
I love it and it really makes ironing fun... it's like magic ;)
The problem doesn't arise, I don't wear clothes that need ironing.Quote:

Not ironed a thing in years now.

Dont iron anything really now alas. I used to iron anything and everything(family trait) but cant manage now... Most things if dried properly will de-crease themselves, and when worn further improve.
Oooh rubber and knickers :nono:
Ouch rubbing me knackers :(Quote:

I think the faces of The Faces haven't aged well. See that abandoned shoe on the hard shoulder of the motorway? That's Ronnie Wood that is.Quote:

No callers here tonight either. Mind you, the house lights are off and I've been listening to music on my Hifiman HE400i headphones since 5pm! :mad:Quote:

I never get any. I think the bullet holes through the front gate puts them off. :)
as per usual nobody came near...must remove that spiked head for next year; think its putting folk off;)
For Halloween , the Hermes man came delivering at 7-30 at night :mental:
Anyroad , was busy working , but was there to greet him , so ,alerted when the dogs barked , I rushed the large box containing my latest Aiwa AP turntable into the mancave before anyone noticed :eek:
Today I have been playing with it - shes a minter - despite the seller putting both headshells with both stylus still in ,into a bag with a record brush and the weight off the arm :doh:
Fortunately the wrecked one was already goosed and the other appears unscathed !!!:cool:
Sorry about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HY4KVFrTJPc
I thought you got the first one working in the end?Quote:

So , sitting on the auction with 2 secs to spare ,shot a max bid of £95 into the bay and ended up with it for £58 plus 17.50 postage !!! Woooooooo:eek:
That is a bargain. Especially as it arrived intact this time.
Yes . Although the first was fully intact and sold to be as working , but only barely lol!Quote:

Both Aiwas are lucky finds , I decided I liked the first one enough to buy this as a spare or vice versa. Direct drive , not quartz lock , less to go wrong ,but still steady enough on speed , semi auto, and I love the look of them !!! Just need to clear the others out to make some room
Dust gathers in places
Is this reasonable?

It does seem somewhat draconian as well as being ironic, in that their pension scheme depends on investment in the tobacco industry.Quote:

Being a non smoker, I was not bothered, but smokers found this very difficult.
As smokers are very much in the minority these days they're always going to be shit on by committees. If I was on a committee I would propose the banning of alcohol during lunch breaks and people with comb-overs, but then I would be outnumbered there too.
It won't end with smokers - next up will be employees who drive to work. Everyone will be forced to cycle, walk or take public transport.
No, it certainly isn't. Far from it, and that's from a staunch non-smoker! As ever, they have to take things way too far:doh:Quote:
