Off-Topic Discussion

Hi,I've just enjoyed an hours violin practice but come out of the studio to get warm and have a mug of tea; I turned the CH radiator on to warm the studio before going in for a practice session so the studio was warm but I hadn't realized how cold I'd become; the radiator valve turned the...

Well, I would have though the post office could just swap them, but I was once told off, by a postman, for saying he worked for the post office. Apparently two different companies, Royal Mail, and The Post Office.

I might make this my last updated on this thread, mainly because I think I have a conclusion.I have a casual interest in the more scientific aspects of nutrition. In a conversation with a friend who is into body building, nothing to do with covid, I mentioned that almost all of my sporting...

That's not the same as lying on a blanket with live wires going through it I make sure most things are switched off when I go to bed. I only leave the fridge and freezer on but would put them off too if I thought they'd wouldn't defrost by the morning

Has anyone tried doing hard / soft boiled eggs in the steamer?I'm trying it now. We're having curry for tea, and we always cook the rice in the steamer. I've often thought it's a tragic waste of energy using one tier of the three tier steamer and all that hot steam just comes out the top,...

As a member of a railway family (my dad, grandad and uncle were all railwaymen) I like to see the old steam locos on the go.

Not quite the same if you want to retire in New Zealand. You have to be able to invest 400k for two years in the country and also have 250k to available cash and 30k income. Even that only gives you a temporary resident visa.

Again same response. Thank you so much. Appreciated. Will go get some fleece instead. What an excellent site.

£75 well spent in my opinion, looks considerably better with a fitted panel than tiled

Thanks for the info FC. Oh deer, if it's stronger than beef I think I'd best give it a miss.

We have a fortnightly delivery from Sainsbury's for the bulky stuff (never meats, fruit or veg as I prefer to choose my own because I'm fussy ) and get the first delivery at 6.30 a.m. That is always free as long as the order reaches £40.Except in an emergency my shop visits are for when I'm...

My Mum read my post this morning. She told me off because she said that it come over as being overly 'sarcastic' - which is true - no offence was offered - no more posts like this from me .

That could well be it then! The underside of the floorboards are completely dry as is the carpet above and the underlay/carpet will be 15 years old if it is a day. Oh well, I will replace those two chunks of underlay and see what it does for us then.

Have a super day.

‘Not decided yet’: David Miliband hints at political comebackThis would be a very good thing for British politics.

I'm glad you found the bed comfortable, the Oak Tree ones have the same positioning. That was one of the reasons I ordered one.

My pleasure

I can vouch for this stuff. My UK kitchen units got the limed oak treatment. The result was pretty impressive

Very interesting, well done that man.
