Nice one, Kandy.

I also used to go mushroom picking with my parents whilst on holiday in Tuscany. They have lovely woods there, and the best find were BOLETUS EDULIS.

They look really nice those cabins.

My wife was made in 1952 and still looks and works perfectly :D

I have seen this Marine Landscape Sweater/jumper for £ 990 on ebay approximately one year ago and it is still there.... Aside from the fact that it is overpriced (probably the lady wants to prove the point that she has designed it and, like all designed items, it comes with a heavy price tag),...

Why not ask the mechanic to go the full hog and build a perpetual motion machine?Jokes aside, lets look at some of the considerations:A diesel engine is a 'compression ignition' engine. It ignites the fuel/air mix by relying on the little law of physics that things heat up when they are...

Dim, pretty good :thumb: (I like your Alfred E Neuman :D) Re blues/chain gang songs: Harry Belafonte did a superb album called "Swing Dat Hammer" in 1960. It is very difficult to get hold of nowadays and, in the past, I've been offered £100 for my copy! (I bought it when it first came out and...

Many years ago (I think it was 1983) a bank employee came up with a good scheme. He worked in the computer department of one of the major retail banks. In those days we were still using the half pence and shops still had many items that ended in a half penny. When people paid by cheque...

A girl on here was making a table like this a few months ago, try searching for threads and I'm sure you'll find it for tips

I do use Listerine, Miraflores, and I like it. I stick to the "Freshburst" flavour as I find that it's the nicest for me. It definitely works and leaves your mouth feeling clean and fresh, once you can feel you mouth again that is:D
