  1. WOW - only just found this thread!!! Been doing it for a while now after finding out about it from a news website normally get it in 4 or 5 - sometimes 3 only failed once so far! - it was one of those where I had one letter left but loads of possible solutions! Mrs mikeprice does it sometimes - and 'isn't competitive at all" but as she has a degree in History and English Literature - and you all know my spelling and such - she normally beats me (Oh - I won yesterday!!!)
  2. Going to be a right pain getting that refloated - no access for a decent sized crane unless comes by canal
  3. On a different note After a lot of work I have finally managed to convert my car to electric not as expensive as you would think as I used the motor out of the washing machine got it all wired up and tested all the circuits - but at first I just couldn;t get it to work Until I realised I had left the door open So then I could take it for a spin
  4. A while ago I decided to go to Blackpool SO I went on a donkey took me 3 days to get there!!! so next time I took the train Northern Rail have rung asking for it back
  5. Might not matter - after all it is wireless a REALLY good wireless company could do it remotely sorry
  6. Which part of the country?
  7. We are looking at getting solar panels so we are a bit protected from future prices rises seems to be a bit of a problem at the moment as all the companies seem to be very busy and so don;t respond when you ask them questions. One of our problems is increased petrol usage due to babysitting once a week - which it 2 30 minutes trips up the motorway. It all adds up - especially as we get back after tea time so often end up getting a takeaway
  8. On another note I just found out that Elon Musk is paying $44 billion for Twitter and I thought he was clever WHAT a sucker!! I just downloaded it for free!!!
  9. God - Noah, it's time to build another boat. Noah - Oh, so soon! But hey, you are the boss. So the same, animals, two by two etc? God - Actually no. We forgot the fish last time so this time this will be just for the fish. Also, build it with more than one deck. Noah - Big boat, only fish and several levels. Got it boss! God - And another thing, not just any fish. I want only Carp on the new boat. Noah - So, let me get this right God. You want a "Multi Storey Carp Ark!"
  10. Go on - what is the most energy intensive - spinning??? In our case we are quite lucky to be on a fixed tariff until September 2024 - more by luck than management but I have started driving based on when the computer says to change gear rather than doing when I feel I should seems to have increased the mpg by 5-10 in normal use - which is a lot more than I expected I have also replaced some halogen bulbs with LED ones when they blow - actually give a better light in the kitchen! Oh - and we replaced the outside flood lights with solar powered ones - a bit dimmer but work really well - that one replaced 2 400W bulbs with solar powered LEDs that cost nothing when in use! I am also trying to use my bike for shopping rather than take the car - but I probably would anyway
  11. Not really the right place for this - but I want one
  12. Just listening to BBC news and there are 9 new symptons advise seems to be that if you have some of the symptoms AND a temperature or fell so unwell as to be unable to go to work - then you should behave as if you have Covid and isolate better than the articles I saw this morning I wish the papers would report it properly and not just give edited highlights!!!
  13. Still reading Wheel of Time I don;t read as much when I'm at home and I've tried a few other things - nothing special but I'm back on WoT again currently up to 43% after only a year or so!!!
  14. I noticed a new list of possible symptons today blocked nose, headache and diarrhoea Great - start of the hayfever season so I normally have 2 out of those did a test anyway and it was negative but it seems like almost anything can be a symptom. I suppose you just have to suppose you might have it if you have more than an unspecified number of them
  15. everyone is welcome p.e. there are 'other' threads as well - some are reputed to contain jokes
  16. Walked into the kitchen before and I could have sworn I could hear someone singing Bee Gee songs looked everywhere finally open the fridge door and realised it was just the chives talking
  17. Evidence has been found that William Tell and his family were avid cricketers. Unfortunately, all the Swiss League records were destroyed in a fire and so we'll never know for whom the Tells bowled.
  18. The laser armed robots destroy you isn;t that obvious
  19. I am still wearing a mask in public indoor spaces but I am more and more in a minority although I have noticed that no-one seems to give me any funny looks or comments as some people have said on 'other forums' and in 'some newspapers' or maybe I just ignore people and totally miss what they are thinking?
  20. Sounds rather threatening - like something from 1984 or such like
  21. I have just got a quote for solar panels - local(ish) firm whose first item on their website is repairs to green systems of all kinds they seem pretty good - but I'll check a few more quotes - if anyone responds to my requests as so far I have not got much back!
  22. I can't see the problem every sink has a plug OK OK OK - someone had to say it
  23. OK - a bit late to this thread But I had all mine done by 9 a.m. - I think that was 'new time' even the car that I normally forget because it is often behind the satnav now I just have to sneak into sister-in-law's kitchen and change hers without being noticed I set it to the right time a few months ago and I don;t think she has noticed yet She has 3 kids and a husband - all the kids have a partner - and it seems I am the only one that can change a kitchen clock - but they don't want me to so I have to sneak in or at some point I am going to end up having a cuppa in her kitchen and see the clock is wrong and it will spoil my whole day
