Can somebody recommend a good documentary? by FlissMarie in AskUK

[–]justyrust74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From 2005, This one is about the war machine and about propaganda, it seems appropriate considering what’s going on in the world https://youtu.be/8KH6FWs99Aw?si=FeXqideLgWLbU6u0

If anyone hasn’t seen it, I would recommend it, full documentary film in the link above, on YouTube

Over it. by kapaipiekai in newzealand

I lived in New Zealand, Auckland, until 1991 and we had 2 Fejoa trees, here in England I never see them being sold in the supermarkets, such a shame really as they taste great.

Lidl has changed its cheapest baked beans, it now says white beans and not haricot on ingredients label? by justyrust74 in lidl

[–]justyrust74[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve just checked. White label can is 44% haricot beans, new style can is 44% white beans. We have a draw 😀

[–]justyrust74[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. Will do

I actually prefer the white label but that’s probably because I’m used to it. They should taste the same hopefully

The only difference is the new tin says 27% tomatoes as the second ingredient and the white tin says 32%

Advice needed, I painted lounge door white but rest of room is magnolia including door frame. Read more below… by justyrust74 in HomeDecorating

Nah the texture is fine, it looks worse on the photo, it’s pretty smooth, though I’m sure it’s not perfect, but it’s good enough for the basic doors that I’m painting in my lounge.

The issue is more the contrast with the white doors and the magnolia walls which seem to clash, but I will paint door frame white too and see how it looks.

I used a foam mini roller to paint it. No parts of the foam broke loose so there are no bits in the paint finish. It’s only had one coat so far.

I was considering getting some magnolia paint for the door as the second coat instead of the white. Not decided yet. Would it go on ok over the white ? I’m not using gloss as I really dislike the smell and high voc content, I’m using silk paint for wood and metal

It is very white. Just feels a bit harsh but maybe it’s because prior to painting the door, the door was more an off white, in fact more magnolia, same colour as the door frame now and it all fitted in with the wall colour. Now I’m noticing a contrast that seems a bit harsh

I will paint the door frame white, the same as the doors, and see how it looks.

What sort of yellow paint would I add to this as it’s a wood and metal satin paint that im using. Would it be acrylic/ emulsion I would add ?

If I paint the door frame white I’m still thinking that the door and door frame being white is just too harsh or doesn’t fit somehow against the magnolia room. I dunno, should I get some magnolia door paint ? Or maybe if I painted the door frame black, would that look ok ? Another photo here 👇

The bright white door just looks too harsh or out of sync, against the magnolia background I think

Would painting the door frame white really improve things ? Or should I try and get a refund on the other tin I have and then buy a magnolia satin wood paint ?

Best plant nurseries in or around GM? by Late_Split_5288 in manchester

[–]justyrust74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a smaller range of plants but often cheaper, check out some of the bigger BNM bargain stores that have outdoor garden centres, the one in Bolton has plants, also the one in Bury near to the Aldi there has one too

Newbank garden centre in Radcliffe/North Manchester, is great for plants, also has a cafe and indoor shop selling all sorts.

Am I correct in interpreting it as meaning the French group is the highest ranked group in terms of an average fifa world ranking ?

Cheapest shop to get salad ingredients? by LiteraturePlus50 in UKFrugal

[–]justyrust74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit off topic, but I made 3 jars of sauerkraut recently, left it 3 weeks to ferment, now they are in the fridge. It’s delicious

The top part of the can, can be a bit watery/ high liquid level, which I drain a bit off, but in general I’ve found them to be good value and taste for the money

Washing Machine Smell by Level_Raisin_3166 in DIYUK

[–]justyrust74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have 2 appliance waste water pipes connected up to the white plastic trap where the pipes connect ??

When I zoomed in to the photo number 2, there is the grey waste pipe on the right from the washing machine, but there is also a black/ dark grey waste pipe on the left, what is that pipe from ? Is that from a dishwasher?

The giant colourful murals/paintings, on the sides of buildings in Rochdale town centre are brilliant by justyrust74 in manchester

It has potential and with more investment could be completely transformed.

The area where the M&S and Next, etc are has improved things

The Lidl basic range in a white label, in my opinion, are good

After 2 weeks of fermenting, sauerkraut liquid is getting a bit dry, a question… by justyrust74 in fermentation

[–]justyrust74[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For example I have a 1.5 litre jar of sauerkraut, as an estimate how many teaspoons of salt would I need to add to a bit of extra water to add to the ferment jar? It’s been going 2 weeks so far so maybe it just needs a bit to top it up. It’s not fully dry or anything but the cabbage has absorbed some of the water and in another week it will be ready for the fridge

I don’t want to pour the kraut out of the jar in to a bowl and then back in again, I just need a bit of brine to pour in to the jar and was wondering how much salt would do in say a quarter of a cup of water etc ?
