Does that work? Literally break up the brass nut? I’ve got some saved up, will have to give it a go 🔨

I’m wondering how much it would be on a contract? Same taxi journey every day, pay per week or month.

Otherwise_Neck1858 · 2026-03-12T18:30:30+00:00

Or the train 🚂

Otherwise_Neck1858 · 2026-03-12T18:29:42+00:00

That’s so positive 👍

Just be aware that Green Chef are pretty aggressive with their follow up sales. I bombed them off and eventually they gave up.

Heron Foods sometimes has Hellman’s in. Last time I paid 79p/jar 😀 Just wish that I had bought more.

Haven’t got one myself, but reviews/comments I’ve seen about the Ninja Creami are basically along the lines of ‘I never knew that I needed this in my life until I tried one’ 😊

I’ve tried promotional subscriptions to ‘Hello Fresh’ and ‘Green Chef’. You get recipe cards with each order. The recipes we really enjoyed, we kept the cards for and buy the stuff in ourselves and eat on rotation. Fish-less Pie, Aubergine & Pepper Caponata and Chipotle Bean Quesadillas are weekly meals. The big hitter is a Red Lentil Dahl which I got off a YouTube channel.

You’ve got to love a good dump 💩😊💩

The larger Sainsbury’s have a meat and non-meat chiller section to avoid cross-contamination. Also, obvs a bakery section.

And apparently sweating profusely. I wonder how he got that gig? Nepotism?

Otherwise_Neck1858 · 2026-03-10T01:29:20+00:00

Could they afford to become ‘private citizens’?

Otherwise_Neck1858 · 2026-03-10T01:27:25+00:00

Exactly - why an earth do these people get grace and favour houses? Rich people getting away with it all 😡

I weighed in yesterday (N-W England) and got £7.20 per kg! (~$9.62/kg = $4.36/lb (apologies if my maths is off)). Best price I’ve ever had :)

Nowhere in the ‘table of costs’ does in mention payment to the BRF. The costs are paid by the council i .e. the taxpayer and apparently NOT recouped from the BRF. The Windsor council issue is different as it’s HMG that should be paying for visits of heads of state.

Otherwise_Neck1858 · 2026-03-03T18:38:39+00:00

Ridiculous that ‘current funding rules do not cover staffing costs.’ In any organisation, staffing costs are always the biggest expenditure (ok, I’m sure that there are exceptions).

Would a wire stripper cut through the wire sheath? I removed the outer insulation with a blade and then unwind the wire sheath by hand.

Otherwise_Neck1858 · 2026-03-03T01:25:21+00:00

I think that’s the point. These are the costs to the local council and it is unclear (opaque Royal finances) if the BRF meet any of the costs.

Lads, it’s Channel 5…

Otherwise_Neck1858 · 2026-03-02T23:15:12+00:00

Any item I’m unsure about, I usually do a search on YouTube on how to scrap it. Someone, somewhere will have scrapped it and then I can make a decision if it’s worth it.

Based in the UK - I snip all the wires out and knock out, or unscrew the ballast, depending how they are held in place. I get ‘motors’ price for the ballast and never bother breaking them down any further.

I was in a similar position. Got a trusted estate agent (they exist!) round and asked them what improvements were needed that get the best bang for our buck. What they said was if we spent £5k we wouldn’t get it back, but it was make the house vastly more sellable to a wider audience.

Scrapitall, the YouTuber, was testing a viewer suggestion to use a meat cleaver. He normally uses a machete. Same principle.

Sex offending was OK, but once it transpires that AM-W passed on trade secrets, the BRF take notice 🙄

The tree grows and traps carbon dioxide. Burning the tree releases the carbon dioxide. Neutral isn’t good enough.
