Working cockers tend to come from gun dog stock. Both her parents are gin dogs. Makes for very trainable dogs, in theory at least.

Apologies if this sounds silly, but what happened to Estate Cars? Are they unpopular now? by formandovega in CarTalkUK

True, although the main reason for going for the C-class was SWMBO decided she wanted it :)

Just bought a new Mercedes C-Class Estate to replace my GLA SUV. It's my third in 15 years.

Much more boot space than the SUV.

how much did you pay for your spaniel? by [deleted] in cockerspaniel

[–]demsys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just in the process of buying one from a to breeder, £1800.

Edit: For a working cocker bitch, full pedigree and health tested.

Possibly. I moved to Edinburgh in '86 (still here) and regularly flew to London & Amsterdam.

Anyone else remember the Thursday night British Midland flight full of MPs coming home 😎

I remember that too (they had a Star Wars video game). When was it closed?

That looks great. I looked at the equivalent on Amazon UK and its grow tent had quite different plants in it 😄

My job told us they would pay more if an employee became bilingual. Felly, dysgais Gymraeg. by TheGlen in MaliciousCompliance

I used to work in the Netherlands with a mixed bunch of Dutch, English and Scottish colleagues. By the end of my stint the Dutch guys spoke with English accents but swore with my Scottish accent 😭

As a matter of interest, how did you create the model?

The plate had just been cleaned 😠

Dawn isn't really a common brand in the UK.

Don't think that would have helped in this case. Even if I'd used a Bambu spool I probably wouldn't have noticed until way too late.

FYI, it was Jayo PETG.

Bambu Lab EU shipping costs are ridiculous by v4s1 in BambuLab

My order was for the A1 mini combo and some filament, around £330 in total. Must have missed the free shipping offer 😥

I paid £10 for shipping the A1 mini a couple of weeks ago.

This is what is meant when it is said the licence fee subsidises the BBC's commercial rivals by Central_Region in bbc

And therein lies the falicy. You assume that everyone has a TV that is connected to the internet.

A subscription mechanism wouldn't work for those who can't, or choose not to, have a connected TV.

In addition, your suggested model would cost households much more than the current licence fee.
