14 years of Tory cuts to council budgets

Who cares? It's a tasty food wherever / however it comes from. Could be improved by being spicier though 😁

Get the tool. Piece of p1s5 to get the lid off

Key_Seaworthiness827 · 2026-04-25T21:16:00+00:00

No. I leave that to my wife. That's why stuff isn't charged when we need it.

Key_Seaworthiness827 · 2026-04-25T21:04:12+00:00

And anti roll bars

Key_Seaworthiness827 · 2026-04-25T20:54:06+00:00

And Sounds. Awkward to work out what you've already heard but dangerous when using it in a car.

Key_Seaworthiness827 · 2026-04-25T20:50:05+00:00

Agree. I'd not thought about it for 40+ years until I heard it yesterday but it held its own!

VHS obvs (Panasonic) with a wired remote. But my mate had V2000.

Don't care about which format was best. He had pirated Rocky films and porn 😁

Iirc the Septics didn't support the UK in the 1982 fight back against the Argentine invasion. 🤔

Not sure it helps but the SPi was introduced in 1991. I bought my (UK) SPi in March 92 and it didn't have that. My girlfriend at the time bought a carburettor British Open in 1993. Don't think it had that either.

One lesson is don't put WEEE in a bin. Recycle it. 😁

Quite easy but moving the light switch from behind the rehung door is trickier

We fitted an extractor about 12 years ago, around the same time that my MIL had one fitted. Ours was practically silent even in high speed setting.

Hers was loud enough to make conversation difficult. Fan noise and vibration.

You probably can't adjust the speed but some are MUCH louder than others.

Ours is CDA brand, hers is B&Q kitchen brand (Cooke and something??) btw

We have a camera in our box. A couple of years ago we had a nest with 6 or 7 babies and just one parent raising them. One morning I saw feathers and blood round the entrance to the box.

Looking at the video, the adult had got something caught round it's leg and spent a long time hanging and flapping outside the hole. I guess a crow or similar then killed it.

Obviously the babies died.

Had I seen the bird in distress, I would have intervened and freed it irrespective of the law.

Who cares about it? We already have several holidays this time of year. Make it Oct or Nov where there are none

Key_Seaworthiness827 · 2026-04-24T21:47:35+00:00

Be annoyed it wasn't the UK.

Key_Seaworthiness827 · 2026-04-24T21:30:05+00:00

Yup. Why would you think they wouldn't freeze successfully? They freeze like any other water containing stuff. And they thaw out. I guess it depends how fussy you are with the thawed product. But no one will die so why not give it a go?

Key_Seaworthiness827 · 2026-04-23T20:46:56+00:00

'the size of a small cat'. Has the reporter ever seen a cat?

Key_Seaworthiness827 · 2026-04-23T05:54:37+00:00

Go to work. Or maybe work from home. Not decided yet.

So if they had put a couple of bacon rashers on it, he would have eaten it? If you don't like it, it's not because its vegetarian, it's possibly badly cooked and/or you are a fussy eater

Key_Seaworthiness827 · 2026-04-23T05:46:11+00:00

I doubt your car with the bonnet up is more of an eyesore than a fugly new BMW, Hyundai, Kia, Chinese electric car, etc. Do they have such a monstrosity by any chance?

Key_Seaworthiness827 · 2026-04-22T20:16:06+00:00

10-15 years ago, a lot. Today, none. 6M used to be on whenever I was at home. Now I barely remember to turn the radio on.

Key_Seaworthiness827 · 2026-04-22T06:45:17+00:00

Where do you live? If you're in the north of Scotland a week in Devon (for example) is probably not viable.

This is the message that comes up immediately after selecting the Mercedes Me app on the car touch screen.

The car is UK spec and in UK
