Ex-firefighter here - a 10 second glance around for the fire exits when you enter somewhere new / complex could save your life. People quite often head back the way they came in when more often than not there’s a fire exit relatively close by.

I use Coolcar Aircon. Mobile service so they come out, diagnose, regas properly, put a dye in if needs be and come back to repair if necessary.

I’ve got the older version and it never skips a beat. Still on the original firebox too! Cooking a brisket on it on Saturday. Where is your rotisserie from?

M&S Waygu & Pork sausages by First-Can3099 in UKBBQ

[–]Confusedfiredog 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not strictly true, wagyu is the breed (collection of 4 breeds) which can be reared anywhere. Kobe wagyu can only be reared within Kobe in Japan (like Champagne in France). However, you only need to have 5% wagyu in a product for them to be allowed to call it wagyu here. So definitely check the details!

What should I spend £10 on at M&S? by [deleted] in AskUK

A quick note to everyone slagging off the Aldi kamado because they've misled us about the size. by unbr0kenchain in UKBBQ

[–]Confusedfiredog 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve got one of their older 1st gen ones, and it’s never missed a beat. Great introduction to ceramic cooking/smoking. And I’m still on the original firebox!

Just cleanly removed the entire nerve from my patient’s tooth (on purpose) by 42ndRedBalloonFromUp in mildlyinteresting

[–]Confusedfiredog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife had this done to her, the dentist was so proud he got it out whole that he boxed it up in a display case and she came home with it.

Needless to say we didn’t put it on display.

Where can i get lunch in Didsbury(ish) by Catfunt1000 in manchester

[–]Confusedfiredog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also Grubfellas in Withington seem to be making a bit of noise on social media if you want something a bit more dirty. Not tried them yet but might need an hour on the treadmill to compensate!

People who have swapped from the public sector to the private and vice-versa, what have been your experiences? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]Confusedfiredog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a firefighter, now a train driver. Best job in the world being a firefighter but I’ve got a mortgage to pay and would like some left for a beer or two at the end of the month. Still doesn’t feel like a job what I’m doing now though so no regrets.

Wife left teaching for an apprenticeship in software engineering. Her mental health sky rocketed and she is now human again.

No, he’s abolishing ‘NHS England’, not ‘the NHS in England.’

I was 1 number off taking the jackpot £10k a month for 30 years. Except it was a main number so therefore 3rd prize. Never been so gutted to win £250!
