  1. Yeah - needed it once or twice didn't go as far as zipping it up though there are limits It's all melted now though so it's back to a normal sweat shirt - or just shirt sleeves if it is less than 15 minutes
  2. Am I allowed to mention actresses and Bishops at this point OK - maybe not then
  3. I have had a few of those recently some of them have really pushed the 'Health and Safety' angle and tried to imply that the 'old type' of insulation is dangerous pretty under hand tactics - I presume they are after vulnerable people due to either age or ignorance I presume if a 'surveyor' came out their tactics would be pretty hard-sell I do wonder about going along just to waste their time but I think my wife would be against the idea - I can be more of a bar steward than her well - sometimes anyway
  4. No image but I remember going to collect Pizza form Mrs mikeprice some years ago the Pizza Hut parking is reached through some rather down at heel terraced houses for a few weeks one of them had a plywood sign outside it painted in - probably - left over B&Q own brand gloss probably using a stick the sign said Tattoo Studio didn;t stay there long for some reason when I went for the next pizza I took a camera but the sign had gone
  5. Had to take Mrs mikeprice to the far side of town this afternoon On the way there we passed a anti-vax demo with signs tied to road signs and people waving banners at people as they drove past Bunch of total nutters luckily they were just by the side of the road and (hopefully) not on the high street or blocking any NHS places
  6. Still a thin layer of snow on the ground and car - otherwise it seems to be cloudy, cold and just a breeze I though of a nice bike ride with 'The Big Coat' then realised the bike tyres are pretty much slick (normal for road use - not worn out!!!) and I don;t bounce as well as I probably would have many years ago so I cancelled that idea
  7. If I commented 'only if you have a proper BLUE passport' would it be frog worthy asking for a friend
  8. If anyone see's any of the mod's holding an RPG in the vicinity of that I suggest ducking 'some' of then have been known to get annoyed by grammar error's not sure how I know that but I'm sure there was some mention of it a while ago!!!! edit - I was thinking of photoshopping them all to semi colons but.........
  9. That's OK - rules don;t come in until Tuesday people probably think someone has done a deal with the new variant so that it will have a break until then
  10. Are you sure surely Miss Information is a lady (other genders are available and may or may not use Miss)
  11. Went to Argo this morning and the number of masks was higher than has been normal recently probably not 50% but maybe close
  12. Never mind that there is snow in Widnes!!!!!!! I've got my camera waiting to get a shot of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse and their new gender balancing friend - misinformation
  13. No snow over here - but then there never is only place I have been that gets less is Rhyl - except one year when the school was closed for a few week due to it!!!!
  14. Got a letter from my Dentist today very nice letter saying that they hoped I hd been OK through the last 2 years and apologising for not being able to function normally for all of that time But now they are able, within limits, to start to get back to offering a normal service and - 'our records show that you are due for an annual check up' Really - well who would have thunk eh!!! I hate the dentist Mrs mikeprice hates them far far more anyway - gotta be done
  15. How did you find potential installers? I have tried in the past but everything seems to go a one of those middle man type websites that forward your details onto a proper company - probably for an unreasonably large fee
  16. We have dropped lucky - our green deal with Green Network Energy was trashed when they went bust - about the first ones in this cycle EDF have really done well - put us on a tarrif that was lower than anything else then transferred us to one of their deals just for people they got from the trasfer then offered a fixed deal several months ago which took us from £78 to £101 - which seemed a big hike but now it seems like the best possible deal we were damn lucky!!! in the future $deity knows - probably solar panels and a battery - I would like to find a trustworthy local company that does them but all I get is sites that send your details to a load of companies that pay to get them and last time I tried that I only got one person who refused to go further because of the trees at the end of the garden - even though I said they never shade the roof and one who came round and said it was 'impossible' to install any because the roof is made up of 4 triangles we eventually got a quote from a company - but it involved a battery they was weaker than a weak thing and a load of gadgets that just were 50% marketing and 50% fake science so I gave up must try again soon
  17. I presume that makes sense if extra factors are known maybe the cycleway has a 'ramp' or narrow stretch caused by roadworks or something
  18. Good News!!! Apparently I have WON £500,000 on the Euromillions Lottery!!!! I know this because I had an automated phone call telling me about it this morning!! Bit of a problem though - they told me I have won - but to claim it I have to ring 00108xxxxxxxxxxxxxx i.e. quite a long number and said far too fast to be remembered - and not repeated and no "Press 1 to repeat' or maybe 'press 8 to talk to one of our claim advisors' OK - clearly fake but what did they get from this?? no chance to capture any information no chance to con me into anything OK - they know someone answered the phone and listened to the whole message - but it was pretty short so it isn;t like it lasted several minutes indicating someone who may react another time??? but indicating it is a live line could be done far easier - just someone answering would be enough can;t really see what they were after
  19. found a discussion on this on another (non IT) forum Personally I have had very few monitors fail out-of-the box Unless it is damage in transit - and that would happen anyway but what do you lot think - would it be worth paying an extra £20 to have it tested before delivery? sounds like a rip off to me but what do I know:rolleyes:
  20. Rang the surgery this morning - apparently I was the 8th they were great and took my name and said that currently not everyone was in (it was gone 9:30!!!) and they did not currently have the relevant information and they would ring me back when they knew what is happening Anyway - about 2 hours later I got a phone call saying I am due this week anyway on the old rules (I'm not - it is next week but whatever) but I could book through the NHS website and go to a walk in or they have a clinic on Friday and I could book into that so I'm being stabbed on Friday and this time Mrs mikeprice won't be coming - last time was the flu jab and the nurse commented "you really don't like injections do you" seriously dented by Hard Man image:p
  21. Apparently I can't - different in different area apparently I'll just ring up after the chaos of ringing at 8 to get an appointment has died down i.e. when I get up - retirement is hell
  22. WUT???? dunno - can I do that I give it a try - all other vaccines have come through the GP thanks anyway - opinion of the collective ethical/moral/for the good of the people https://www.unilad.co.uk/health/anti-vaxxers-attempt-to-bribe-doctors-for-a-fake-vaccine-but-end-up-with-the-real-thing/
  23. Yup - I'm ringing the doc tomorrow to find out how to get it I suspect I won't be the only one
  24. When I did it I didn;t use a template but I was specific about what I wanted on the quote Let's just say some of the people replying may not have read the requirements in detail!! I couldn;t just elinate them because then I wouldn;t have had enough quotes! The other thing is that you need to allow suppliers to come up with different things just in case they have an option that may suit you better e.g. we ended up agreeing to a system where we had a 'free' (i.e. prepaid at a lower rate) for the whole 5 year term rather than it applying per year which is great as the first few years would have no extra charges for going over the 'free' amount and going into the more expensive extra prints rate but it does leave a bear trap waiting for the last 2 years if the numbers increase But this was fine for us as the Head was determined to reduce the number of prints and had a strategy to do it Of course a year or so after that teh Head left - and then me a term later - so $deity knows how it went but I did warn them - in detail - so some else's problem!
  25. Whoever arranged that must be a really Fungi they are quite packed in though not mushroom left sorry:rolleyes:
