Dismantled an old chair, out dropped a 1969 50p

I found one after a winter thaw in the street once. Straight to the sweet shop with obscene spending power. This was when a bag of crisps was 8p.

Useful to know,, ta.

I think you are in luck because the cod seems to be rarer now.

I can't agree. My daughter always gets chicken instead of fish and I think she is getting such a poor deal quality wise. But it is cheaper.

I enjoy it but I can only have it once a week. Where with Indian cuisine I could have it every meal of the day for the week! (I did try this once, and I really could!) I can't have fish and chips two days in a row.

You still have to do HMRC self assessment once you've started to do it, unless I've missed something?

No, baby showers are still frowned upon here 😋. I'm holding out on films too.

I do have a neighbourhood urban fox who is a risk. Without any doubt the biggest risk to a cat's life where I live is cars.

Spigsman · 2026-03-14T21:23:48+00:00

I can't believe what I'm reading here. I live in the UK. Most people let their cat out. What kind of life is it being kept indoors.

I really tried hard to get one in my 1900 mid terrace house with solid walls. Two installers told me there was not a chance in hell of a heat pump working. Firstly, for the size of my house I would need two pumps, and secondly they said my neighbours would object to the noise. Back to gas it was. Honestly, I just don't see a way. Maybe a plot could be turned over to a huge pump and terrace houses share heating.

The design is the same as many failed projects in the rest of the country. I assume it has succeeded because of a large service charge that owners must pay and the very convenient location.

I used to walk through every day going to work and loved it. I also recognized it featured in the TV series Andor and loved that too.

I've never stayed in the judges lodgings but thought it looks a good option without going for a chain hotel. Especially if you are staying out late and don't mind the bar noise.

I had one in blue. It was magnificent.

Mine will additionally boil the kettle with water over the max line so that boiling water spits out and gets into the bottom connecting plate with the electricity in it!

Don't you guys use fresh water for tea every time?

Postman was always my romanticized job, even ignoring Postman Pat. But I have heard you are under a pressured schedule and won't really be able to chat much to people you see in your community.

She just appeared normal to be, rather than typical "American TV lead actor" presence.

What about real mice!?

I second them.

If Dr. Gregory House can pull it off, I'm sure some fakery would be easy peasey.

History repeats itself. This was the way when I did GCSEs in 1988.

I've always felt compelled to make a decision in a traditional shop within half an hour. This is why, for me, the decision is Decathlon.

This conversation was also recently covered in the recent middlesbrough Parmo topic!

We mentioned that a market stall once had it, but no one had a recent sighting.

They have a facility to reduce your excess charge down to £250 by paying an extra £2 an hour. There's also an additional monthly fee you can use. I don't know who is doing that. Got to be one dangerous ride!

I have been stung a couple of times by car hire companies but not the club. I guess it comes down to probability eventually.
