  1. What's wrong with just having a good old fashioned bath?

    Jokes???

    Some people had it so easy. My brother and I had to sleep in the back of a Mini Van, (or it could have been the Morris Traveller, can't quite remember), whilst our parents partied it up in the pub on a Saturday night. Don't worry, it wasn't child abuse, we had the dog in there with us for warmth!
  3. Plus, decking makes a lovely cosy space for rats to make their nests. And slugs.
  4. Rate in order of crassness;- Patio Heaters AstroTurf Hot Tubs Decking
  5. I'd say that they're needed. I think their main function is to reduce the slipperyness in the wet. I speak from experience of installing a few deckings plus almost going arse-over-tit a few times on people's decks, that have been down a few years. Algae tends to build up on the surface of the wood to make it extra slippery. You can get special coatings that contain sand to increase friction, they help but probably wouldn't remove the need for the grooves I'd guess.
  6. Not a job I'd fancy that's for sure. A friend of mine used be a forensic scientist. She's left now as the excess of bodily fluids and general exposure to the grim inhumanity of humanity at times was too much for her. She saw some pretty horrendous stuff and mentioned that a lot of the worst of it never even makes the news. I think she worked for a private company too, it must be even worse at the CPS. Previously to that she worked in some kind of narcotics forensics capacity. She was happier about the "perks" from that job!

  8. True, but I don't think most people do Wordle.
  9. 4 is my most frequent score. Not to worry, its about the global average. average wordle score - Recherche Google WWW.GOOGLE.COM
  10. Back to pork. The less popular cuts of meat can be such good value. I got this ham hock from the butcher, only Β£4 for this great big hunk. And that's premium free range, organic blah blah blah. Cheap as chips.
  11. Ajwain is great, it's a really interesting flavour, in a tasty way. You probably won't get it at Tesco though, might have to go to one of those multiculturist shops.
  12. Don't write off paneer just yet, it has a place sometimes. It's a good foil for all the stronger flavours going on in a curry, a bit like potatoes. I've got a good recipe for a paneer and cauliflower curry, spiced with Ajwain.
  13. Tamarind is the dogs bollox, it makes any curry taste amazing. Go easy on the fenugreek, unless you particularly like the smell. It can make its presence known in your sweat for days afterwards!
  14. Bugger. Should've gone for the c rather than g. Wordle 1,045 X/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟨⬜ ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜⬜🟩🟨🟩 ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩🟩🟩🟩
  15. Looking forward to seeing a Chick Satay then tomorrow.
  16. Pork Vindaloo. Banging!
  17. With or without bagpipes? Don't ask too much, being happy would be a enough for starters.
  18. Do you think the fossil fuel industry is feeling threatened by the shift to sustainable energy? Looks like it. β€˜Privileged access’: pro-plastic lobbyists at UN pollution talks increase by a third | Plastics | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Fossil fuel and petrochemical campaigners at Ottawa summit outnumber scientists, EU and Indigenous delegates
  19. Do we get to see your happy dance now? 😜
  20. Thanks for that. It looks like a great source of useful knowledge. Also, the guy seems to do videos on lots of other stuff, not just fruit tree pruning. Nice.
  21. I can't claim too much credit though. Lady Luck looked kindly on me on line two.
