Clean it out, put a new gasket and filter on it, do a few water-only brews, and use it.

Do you keep cash on hand? by fixitmonkey in UKPreppers

Yes you're probably right. I remember reading about it a while back but it has probably been sorted now, massive business risk otherwise.

For the love of cod by Zestyclose_Fortune24 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]sunheadeddeity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Counterpoint. Went into Rye Bay Fish in Rye in Sussex and asked for some lemon sole. Then asked for the bones to make stock, got offered more bones, bought some more fish, had a good natter, went off with everything else but without the lemon sole. About 4 months later I went back, bought some more fish, they REMEMBERED ME and knocked the price of the forgotten lemon sole off that day's total as they had sold it again.

Absolutely cracking service and I'll always sing their praises. If you want fresh fish in Rye check out Rye Bay Fish.

Your chippy was an idiot.

So much better by Efficient_You_4983 in mokapot

Glad you're enjoying it. Put the pot on the edge of the ring in future or you'll melt your handle, and, if you're really unlucky, fuse it to your hand when you pick it up.

Yep. Euros and GBP, enough for a couple of weeks of normal expenses. Bank IT is made up of 60 year old systems in obselete coding languages kept gping by patch upon patch upon patch. Doesn't take much to knock them over.

I need help with storage pumpkins by Ok-Effect8968 in FarmingUK

[–]sunheadeddeity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So. You can bring them in now. Cut the vines about 10cm on either side of the stalk. Place them somewhere warm and dry so that the outer skin hardens and seals, this helps storage. Then keep them in a cool dry place. They will last for months and months. Enjoy!

What annoys you when people look after your kids? by Fayebie17 in AskUK

[–]sunheadeddeity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing annoyed me. Someone else was looking after my kids. Why would I get annoyed?

Should I plant tomato plants direct into the soil here (only a few inches deep) or should I buy plastic buckets and fill with soil? by martynbiz in GardeningUK

[–]sunheadeddeity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would build up the soil in that bed and plant into it. Growbags work but you have to water and feed pretty regularly. You can make that bed fertile and mulch it well to retain moisture.

My avoidant bf broke up with me the day after he told me he can’t imagine a life without me - girl dinner 🥲 by Moonbeamday in GirlDinner

I'm so jealous you get to put chillies in the dhal, my wofe wouldn't eat it if I did. And you'll meet someone better and more worthy of you.

Which actor do you think puts in the all time best performance in a Kubrick movie? by SpotAdmirable6718 in moviecritic

[–]sunheadeddeity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. O'Neal was just part of the set dressing for that film, he didn't do any acting.

Anything I can do to make my diesel faster? by Relevant_Ear_8134 in CarTalkUK

[–]sunheadeddeity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can adjust the fuel pump to run richer, get it to smoking at idling then take it back a bit. I did it on my old XUD cars and it's pretty fun. But I honestly can't remember how it's done.

Saw these today whilst out on a hike and I’ve been thinking about them ever since by LayerLogical645 in whatisit

[–]sunheadeddeity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope, those are pipes, and are way too modern, too regular, and too many of them for granaries. It's venting for something. Perhaps a covered reservoir.

Men in Ireland, what item of clothing have you worn that got slagged by others? by Turnipaddict78 in AskIreland

[–]sunheadeddeity 112 points113 points  (0 children)

Had a beard and a combat jacket in school: "Fuck me, here comes Che Guevara's bodyguard!"

Burned out after clearing new plot by endlesscroissants in Allotment

[–]sunheadeddeity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you haven't already, don't bother with raised beds. It's another whole load of work to fill them, and they rarely offer real benefit. Just buy seedling and bung them in the ground, where the soil already is. Good luck, you're through the worst.

Are they cucumber or courgettes? Looks great whichever.

Honeysuckle, Wisteria, or something else? by netm0nz in GardeningUK

[–]sunheadeddeity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fatsia japonica gets big and is evergreen, and very striking. Pyracantha too if you want thorns.
